Dear Friends and actually mainly family, I regret to announce that this will be the last entry from me (matt) on The Heart of Avalon. Life motto: its easier to quit than to get people motivated. It seems like no one here really wants to blog, but its chill. You guys might be freaking out. I know what you're thinking. you're thinking "oh no, how will we keep tabs on matt and all the non-exciting stuff that goes on in his life???" well have no fear, I have a .mac account and with that I get to post my own website. so just check that, although its in progress, but I plan on updating it soon, changing the look and such. the website is web.mac.com/m.fitch. anyway, its been a real fun ride. like a a ten foot wave that you take on the head and then you get thrashed in the whitewater for a little bit and then you paddle out again, and almost get past where the waves break and then a rogue set comes in and take you back into the shore. And now a closing poem, writen by me, and my brother jon:
Alas, the end is nie,
this night neigh is deary say die
who knows what was in that pie?
so sad it makes me want to cry
today is new day
its time to say "hooray!"
well at least it is what it were.
the end.
Okay, peace out players. gonna go shred the gnar!

Hello Media Effects
I thought that since all of you would see my blog today, I would type a little message. This is my house's blog. We actually don't update very often but we definitely have loved having it. Especially when I was in Africa. It was helpful for me to add stuff here so my roommates and I could still know what was going on. I hope you are enjoying our presentation.

Matt's Blog
Ha ha ha ha, I have taken over our blog and now it is all mine... mine for the taking and to write whatever I please... but I'm not sure what to write and joe is talking to me so I can't really think. okay, he's gone now. by the way, i was kidding about taking over the blog. its just that I'm the only one who writes on it and i'm sure that only my family reads it and they probably only check it once every few months because that's how often we write. but, to all the nay sayers: the blog lives! its just that none of us lead really interesting lives. so there isn't too much to write about. and I don't have any cool pictures of snow to put up either, or a wife to do half of the entries. oh well, that doesn't matter.
I thought that since it being the new year and all, that I would post my one and only new years resolution. it is:
I, Matt, for my new years resolution, will just wing it and see what happens.
(i got that from calvin and hobbes, but it's a good one.) anyways, its two thousand and eight. crazy. I thought i'd never live to see the day. this year will be a big year. Graduation for some of us. then jobs, sailing, going abroad, kids, jail, multiple wives, jail again, kids again, and who knows what else. but its cool, cause we'll wing it and see what happens. what's the worst that could happen? (I know mom has a running list in her head right now) but seriously, things will work out because its all been mapped out for us. all we have to do is live our lives as Jesus would, try our hardest, do our best, love others, and be satisfied. So keep it chill. thats all i gotta say...
PEACE

A blog... finally
What up all yee who are weary and tired and need to find refuge in reading "the heart of avalon" It has been a long time since we last posted. mainly because I am the only one doing it, and I don't want to be the only one doing it but my roommates are just lazy. Oh well. soooooo its been a while.
This just in: I will be able to graduate on time. yet i have no idea what I will be afterwards. Its scary that real life is right around the corner.
This also just in: I am working on a website because I can make one with my .mac account. It's not finished, nor do I ever really plan on finishing it, but you can check it out here: web.mac.com/m.fitch *Note: no www needed. like i said, its a work in progress...
Pretty much we've been up to the same old, same old here at the heart. Evan and I are practicing our music making skills for a show we've got coming up. I'm playing synth, he's a musical genius. all the ingredients for the show of a life time. My team is still in last place for my senior project, work is going good. The surf is getting better and so are my skills, but only by a little. Things break, things get fixed, things get lost, money gets spent. Some tests I ace and some tests I bomb. Thats pretty much life.

ohhhh SHOOOOOOT
hey, all you out there, waiting on the next blog from avalon for your worth in life...
this is matt. again. coming to you live, from the heart.
Soooo, pretty much I need a job. and pretty much, its not working out. those two combinations make me the king of CHILL. thats right. I'm the king of chill. I try to get a job, but when I fail, I chill. I have failed quite a bit. so I chill. If you need lessons in chill, I will give them to you. Still, it would be easy for me to give up, yet I try to keep the faith. knowing that the Lord has something for me. I just don't know what it is yet.
Anyway, here is a picture I drew in paint a while ago. I'm working on another, but I'm not done yet. maybe in a few days it'll be done.
okat that is my art on paint. I'll post probably in another two weeks.
PEACE!

what?!?
I just saw a pointless blog entry by my brother, and thought that i'd add another pointless blog entry to this mess we as a society call the world wide web aka the internet. so here goes nothing...
a poem about how we are nothing by ourselves.
The Anomaly of the Self, by Matthew Fitch, esquire and novice brew maker.
The self is nothing by itself
unkempt and humbled on the shelf
the self is nothing without health
weak and worn, it hath no wealth:
of ethereal joy
of magnificent purpose
of anything significant beneath the surface
The self is empty by itself
a jar nothing on the shelf
a lake with no fish
a star with no wish
the self is dead all by itself
fin
oh yeah, my roommate and and I brewed our first batch of beer today. Its called "TBS 01"
we hope it turns out...
PEACE

Schools out for the summa, and fathers day
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YAAAAAAAAAA! Diggedy dawgy, school is out and we are feelin good. The air is a-buzz with the hummm of summer. as I sit typing this i feel a bit guilty because i still feel like there is still stuff to do, papers to write and tests to study for. but no longer shall I be an indentured servant to the schooling system, at least for three months. three months of glory. and wonder. Anyway, things are great here, Joe C is back from the Africa land, and it has been fun to hang with that guy. But now keith is gone for the summer, so our house will still be incomplete. Anyway, this quarter has been the fastest yet.
Joe and I were having a conversation about life the other day and how it seems to always go faster. He said that it's because when your one, you've completed 100% of your life. (1 out of 1 years) and so that seems normal, but when you turn two, youve complete 1 out of 2 years. so fast forward to 21 and you've complete 1 out of 21 years of your life. it just seems to speed up. yet i have another theory:
everyone is born with a sense of time in their brain. that sense of time is imbedded in the neuro-temporal spacial cortex lobe of the brain. As humans grow up, and obtain more knowledge, the brain swells to encompass all that is added, yet the sense of time in the temporal lobe stays the same size, thus it is squeezed by all the knowledge that surrounds it. This pressure in the sense of time causes it to shorten it significantly. Thus life, as you get older and more knowledge is one big squeeze on time. Thats why it goes faster each year in college.*
I think I could get my phd in that subject.... NOT
anyway, i'm glad schools done, and I'm also glad for my dad, because he's rad, never sad, and rarely gets mad. He didn't name me chad, or vlad, and he didn't have no pad when his bike ride went bad. So happy Father's Day, or dia de los padres.
Seriously, I think we are all blessed in this household because we've had dads that have played crucial roles in our lives and we are very thankful for that. And thats who I strive to be like... my dad.
This guy...
anyway, thats it. its summer time and the livins easy, yet jobless for the time being. Hopefully that will change so you won't see me on the corner playing the guiatr for money and crumbs. Thats all i gots to say. PEACE
