Photos, Images, and Pictures…Oh My!
Hello friends. I know I haven't been really good about keeping you posted on here, so I have another plan. Go to gallery.mattulrich.com and check out my pictures. I've been taking some pictures lately, mainly at Paige shows, so those should provide the opportunity for you to stay up-to-date with my life. In case you've been out of touch for a while, I've got older pictures on there as well. Enjoy, my friends.

Every Day…
...is a new adventure. Today Jordan came by with his Mom to check out the house. Through a series of events in which you probably wouldn't be interested, a toilet in my house began to overflow and proceeded to leak through a light fixture to the floor below. Everything's back to normal now, but it was an interesting experience. That's about all I have the mental energy to reiterate. Tomorrow is a trip down to southern Indiana to meet my boss and to figure out what the rest of my summer responsibilities are. That's about three hours each way, so I need to get some sleep. Fun, fun...
Today
I didn't do much today other than laundry and a bike ride through the beautiful city of Anderson, Indiana. I did, however, notice the presence of a number of limousines. This made me curious, but then I remembered hearing that tonite was prom at Highland. Case solved. Well, one interesting thing did happen. About an hour to an hour and a half ago, I got a call from my former roommate Jon Mobley. He was calling to report that his car had died, and he was stuck at the McDonald's way down Scatterfield by the interstate. I offered to pick him up. When I arrived, he announced that with the help of additional oil, his car was able to start. Well, we decided to see how far we could drive before it died again, so I set out with him not far behind. We chose to take back roads so he wouldn't die on Scatterfield. We chose Madison Avenue instead. As luck would have it, he died twice more on the way home. The first time, I let him have my spare quart of oil, and sure enough, he was able to get it started again. It was looking like we'd make it all the way back, but it died again right by the government buildings right over the bridge on 8th Street. So I drove to the Ricker's and picked up a couple more quarts of oil (and a slushy) on his dollar, and once again it started. We made it this time, but the funny thing was that it died again as we were pulling into the lot at his apartment. We pushed it the rest of the way into the parking spot and called it an evening. So after four automobile deaths (one before he even got to Anderson and the three I was there to experience), five quarts of oil, an hour, and a Ricker's slushy, our experience was over. Now it is time to go watch SNL.
Peace.

NashVegas!!
T minus 5 hours until we hit the road for Nashville and the Dove Awards, which are Wednesday evening. Also, T minus 9 days until we hit the road for Nashville once again for Paige's pro tracking session. It's a different we each time, but I'm happy to be a part of both wes.
Time for a New Post
Well, I don't really have anything in mind to write, but I felt like it was time to check back in with my readers on a personal basis. This week is going to be stressful, with two midterms and all, not to mention the projects and other stuff I should be working on...oh, and my job at church. Summer, summer, here I come... At least spring break is coming up soon. I plan on going home and doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (well, other than being helpful to my Mom...kinda hafta do that). Yes, that's right. While many of my AU friends will be enjoying the balmy, tropical weather of Florida or one of those other states down in Dixie, I will be in Dutch Vegas, Michigan. Maybe I'll record an EP with Ken. I should probably have a few songs I like before I try to do that, though. I should probably also make sure Ken has time to do that. Chances are I'll call him and leave a message, and I won't hear back from him. His phone is almost always dead or not with him. We'll see, I guess. Ok, the cd I was listening to is done now (and by cd, I mean iTunes album), so I will start up another one and hit the sack. Yes, I know it's only like 10:30 at night, but little did you know that I have to wake up around 6:15ish. With exception of one person I know, that's earlier than any of you, so don't you dare complain about how early it is tomorrow morning when you wake up.
G'nite!

Black Tuesday
This is my fourth in a row without someone with which to celebrate. However, I did get a few cards and well-wishes from people. Thanks Mom...Kalyn...Mobley...Sung...a few others. Know what I did? I ate in the MP alone tonite. There was a food station that had sugar cookies and red and pink frostings, candy hearts, and other fun stuff with which to decorate the cookies. Guess what I did. I ate a sugar cookie plain. That's right...because today was just a plain ol' regular day in the life of this kid. But don't cry for me. I'm alright with it.
I love you all.
