So it's my turn now

Howdy,

I’m Matthew Logsdon.  I grew up with Matt but when I moved to Lexington and I’d introduce myself I apparently had a speech disorder ‘cause people couldn’t get it right:

Me: Hey

Other Person: Hey

M: I’m Matt.

O: Mac?

M: No, Matt

O: Oh Max

M: No, Matt

O: ??

M: Matthew

O: Oh, I get it Matt

M: No, Matthew’s fine

So I now go by Matthew but a few of my very best friends will sometimes call me Mattie or Malibu (that’s a whole nother not so interesting story).  To you folk I’ll probably be Mr. Logsdon – perhaps even for the rest of your life.  I recently went into Starbucks and a former student was my barista and she’s like 25 calling me Mr. Logsdon.  Oh well.

         

I have a few peak-my-geek-meter activities and right now it’s Game of Thrones.  I watched the HBO series and was blown away and am now reading the books (when I just can’t take reading essays any longer); but I’m also a film and technology fanatic – it’s really quite sad actually – but that’s why last summer I turned my basement into a home theatre with a 100-inch-screen-stadium-seating-7.1-surround-sound-awesomeness.  The added benefit is that my PS3 games are quite nice when the characters are nearly life size – oh yeah!  

All the fun and games aside, I hope to provide (ok, yea, here’s the “teacher” moment) for you an academic space that allows you the freedom to experiment with your writing/thinking as you explore alternatives to the standard structures you’ve come to already master.  Then with these skills absolutely shred the AP test.  Annihilate it.  Make it your little potty-trained puppy dog.  This is 250 words – so 150 ain’t so bad.  Oh here's my fav website www.aintitcoolnews.com.
