Hell out of Dodge
March 7, 2006
It’s not exactly an announcement, since almost everyone who knows me already knows it’s happening, but for the sake of posterity, I wanted to get the news out to any interested parties who, for whatever reason (probably because I don’t like you), haven’t heard yet.
I’m gay.
Wait, I already did that one.
I’m leaving Baltimore.
I have to say it really was a tough call. While living in Baltimore isn’t exactly everything I ever thought it would be, I’ve enjoyed making this my home for the past year and there are some things I’ll miss. It’s hard to believe that it’s been that long since I packed up the Jet, picked up Camp and started the long journey that led me to where I am today.
I’m certainly better off for it. Meeting and getting to be friends with this guy, this guy, and this guy has been great. And I’ve made friends who don’t have web sites but are awesome people all the same. I’ve worked with a crazy-talented group of people at Silverpoint, and I’m glad to report I’ll be continuing to do so. I’ve seen things I wasn’t sure if I ever would. I’ve met some really, really weird people. I’ve had a few hot dates (wink wink, Mike). I rode public transportation. I went to my first Pride. And while it’s been difficult to live so far away from my friends and family back home in Alabama and Georgia, all in all it’s been for the best.
I’ll be in town until mid-March. After that I’ll be taking a much-needed week off and getting settled in my temporary digs back in Alabama. While I won’t miss all of you, I’ll definitely miss some, and for those of you—you know who you are—who made this experiment worthwhile; thanks.
Dude. Seriously. If you don’t want to have the Carbomb battle we won’t have it. You don’t have to up and move.
I don’t even know you anymore. You hurt my soul.
I never met you, but I wish you the best of luck. Blogtimore,Hon is/was an excellent piece of work.
Are you sure you’re ready for backwoods Alabama with its hate crime lovin’, “black folk” hangin’, and 24 hour homo watch rednecks? It might take some getting used to again. Anyways its nice to have you back to our thoughtless and bigoted community. Love Oliver
Though we never met, I always appreciated what you did for Blogtimore. Best of luck to ya.
Good luck, Matt. I’m sure I won’t be alone in welcoming you back to Baltimore when you realize how horrible Alabama is. :)
