"A stranger is being shown around a village that he has just become part of. He is shown a well and his guide says "On any day except Sunday, you can shout any question down that well and you'll be told the answer." The man seems pretty impressed, and so he shouts down, "Why not on Sunday?" A voice from in the well shouts back, "Because on Sunday, it's your day in the well."
Well, as most of you already know, my name is Matt Cook or as many of you know me as, Genny. I’ve never been one for very long, drawn-out posts, but hopefully for this one it’s going to change at least somewhat. I’ve always been one to have it short and snappy. Quick and quaint. I’ve always been quite outspoken outside the Internet, mostly due to my short stature; which sadly is something that I still haven’t really come to terms with (I will grow taller I will grow taller). My height isn’t too terrible, being 5’8” (I like to say 5’9” though) -- but I certainly would kill someone to have those extra four inches or so. Thankfully, because of my height certain people (mistakenly) have placed mistrust in me, thinking that their girlfriends will never go for a shorter guy, little did they actually realize.
I’ve done some bad things, well to me at least, and for the most part I’ve tried to stay away from doing the bad things I’ve done before. We’re not talking about beating a kid black and blue, really petty stuff. I stole an apple from a supermarket once. I seduced this girl whose boyfriend was actually a really nice guy, and ruined a friendship (the girl and mine) and a relationship (girl and boyfriend) in the process. I think back and I really feel bad about these things. The apple thing is real petty, I know I shouldn’t feel bad but I just don’t appreciate the fact that I’ve known I’ve stolen something before. I try to avoid to do anything illegal, but more often than not I do something illegal at least once a week (underage drinking, usually).
I didn’t used to drink. Ever. Well I really shouldn’t put it like that, because I used to drink, back in middle school, which albeit was really early for someone to drink. I would show up to school wasted and would come to school with hangovers that could slay big animals. I stopped drinking during an unfortunate incident where I was drinking with a friend of mine the summer before high school and a heated argument started that ended with me punching him out. Needless to say, that friendship was over and I realized I may have had a problem with drinking, so I wouldn’t touch the stuff all throughout high school. It all changed however when I was miserable over Sara, the girl I’ve been dating for the majority of two years (on and off, more on than off). Like I said, I was miserable because she dumped me, and then there was this girl I was pretty interested in. A little blond thing I thought was nice and cute, unfortunately she was taken. I never said I was a nice guy, in fact I’m probably the opposite of what I’d consider a nice guy. I invited her over to my friend’s house to drink, because I thought if she was drinking I’d have a higher chance of getting with her. After she started I realized the flaw in my plan: if I’m sober and she’s drunk then I’m even more of an asshole than before. So I decided I could probably handle myself and so the first sip of alcohol, for the first time in four years, hit my lips. Sadly I hooked up with this girl, hurt her wonderful boyfriend, ruined my friendship with her, and ruined their relationship.
I want to be a doctor. Not just a general practitioner, I want to become an oncologist. There’s been a few things in my life that have guided me towards becoming a doctor, however there’s one that really stands out; the death of my friend’s father. My friend’s father’s death isn’t a light topic, but he was a great man, who was taken by cancer. I watched his daughter, my best friend, struggle through his death. I felt hopeless. All I want in life is to help a man through cancer who has a wonderful daughter, save a family. I know it’s not going to be all flowers and kittens, being an oncologist and all, but just helping that one guy overcome cancer makes everything else better.
In lighter news I love movies. I would consider myself a movie buff, because basically my hobbies are watching moves (and really shitty television shows let’s not talk about that) and hanging out with friends. Movies are amazing, there is nothing that can compare to a movie that is rich in story and in characters. The best movie I’ve ever seen is The Shawshank Redemption, and I’m sure if any of you have seen it you know exactly why. Beautiful characters, beautiful directing and shooting. Villains you hate, characters you love. Don’t be confused though, just because it’s the best movie I’ve ever seen doesn’t mean it’s my favorite. Iron Man is my favorite movie. Laugh it up but that movie rocks face and always cheers me up if I have had a shitty day.
On the concept of media, I enjoy music, though most everyone does. I’ll just list bands I like because I’m somewhat lazy: Modest Mouse, Radiohead, The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pixies, Arcade Fire, The Blood Brothers, As Blood Runs Black, David Bowie, *COUGH*KE$HA AND LADY GAGA*COUGH*, Get Set Go, God is an Astronaut, Interpol, The Rural Alberta Advantage. Probably forgetting some but whatever, music is music, except techno and electronic music that can burn for all I care.
I work at a local pizza restaurant as a busser. What that means, to the layman, is I bring people water, take their plates away, do the dishes, and make the people’s desserts. It’s a pretty cool job, the people I work with are super nice and I never feel like I really am going to “mess up,” because they’ll have my back or whatever. Still awesome, I like it, plus tipsssssssssssss are always appreciated. Always tip your server guys. Always.
I hang out with user: Matty quite a bit! Really only started this year though. I met him before but I was an awkward freshman in high school so I didn’t really know what to do. But now that I’m older I’m more comfortable! I’d post a picture of Matty and I but I don’t think he’d really appreciate that so I guess I’m going to avoid it though it’s a really funny photo. My best experience with Matty is hooking up with his roommate (who is a girl, by the by) at a party in a bathroom. You know just about to get the deal done when I hear, “HEY SOMEONE NEEDS TO USE THE BATHROOM GET OUT!!!” Of course it was Matty who was banging on the door, though I thank him for doing it now, and if I haven’t I meant to.
I like poetry, specifically Haiku's are my favorite form of poetry. I also enjoy my coffee black with many cigarettes. Superheroes, much like vader, are something that take over a huge portion of my time. Though they’re not as in-depth as vader goes. I really love Spiderman and Iron Man, by far those are my two top heroes. I don’t care who says what, they are the best, fuck Superman.
Well there’s me in a nutshell, hope everyone can deal with this maybe-too-big OP. Ask me shit, I like giving advice and I like getting asked stuff.
P.S. Urban Dictionary question will be asked getting it out of the way now:
Yes I used to be a shit user, no that log is not real. Next.
Oh I forgot I read some manga too, though mainstream stuff
