Facts About Matt - Christmas Special
I used to be scared of Santa, he always turned up at my birthday parties as a child.
Christmas Eve was so exciting as a kid because we had our massive family Christmas party and then were told we had to fall asleep in the car on the way home or else Santa wouldn’t come.
This is the fourth Christmas without my Nonna.
While everyone else shops on Boxing Day, my brother and I usually see a...

Late Night Ramblings # 6
This “life” thing didn’t really turn out like I had planned. But then again, does it work out for anybody?
I sometimes come across or hear about people that have everything (that I want). I wonder if they are content or whether they still want more, or less for that matter?
I’m not sure what exactly the Dickens novel Great Expectations is about but I’m sure...

Late Night Ramblings # 5
As I sit here at 1:32am on Christmas morning (listening to Kiss of Life by Friendly Fires) I’m beginning to remember what Christmas Eve meant to me as a kid. Basically, a lot more. I’m at that age now where it’s just another day! A day spent with a great friend is much more anticipated and enjoyable than Christmas. I guess that’s just all apart of getting older.

Facts About Matt - Q&A
On June 20th, 2005, I posted this journal entry on my DeadJournal. Four-and-a-half years later I’m trying it again…
1. Time of starting this: 8:32pm 2. Were you named after anyone? No I doubt it but I was going to be named James. 3. Do you wish on stars? I have, but recently, no. 4. When did you last cry? 9 months ago? 5. Do you like your handwriting? That’s like asking if I...

Facts About Matt - Special Edition
I always read the “Upftont” part of The Age’s Good Weekend magazine. It’s far more insightful than any article written about a celebrity so I thought I’d write my own!
Matt Davies… you’re time starts now:
My earliest memory is… watching TV with my nonna in her caravan.
My school report usually said… that I always arrived in the morning with a big...

Something to talk about:
I’ve never chased a feeling before. I know it’s probably common with people that take recreational drugs as I’ve been there before. I’ve hit that stage in the night where I’m having an awesome time but that “feeling” is disappearing and I’m essentially scared that if I don’t do something about it the night will be over.
A few weeks ago I spoke about a feeling I felt where my heart was almost...

Late Night Ramblings # 4
I’m essentially all booked in… leaving 27th May 2010 on a one-way ticket.
Someone kind of insinuated today at work that I may be in the running for a new role that will be created next year: some kind of transport analyst role.
Strangely enough I’m left with a kind of dilemma.
I’ve got to start exercising again, and stop smoking those social smokes! Urgh!
I’m 27...
