Turning 31

Yesterday was my 31st birthday. I've officially entered my thirties, whoopee. To celebrate, my fiance and I went to see Huey Lewis & the News at Wolf Trap in Virginia. As always, the show was awesome and the weather was perfect.

If you are reading this, you'll also note that I've been negligent about posting and updating my blog regularly. I've been super busy and am still trying to think of an original theme to make this thing stand out. Ideas are always welcomed.

At Long Last, My Website...

Thanks to the simplicity of Google Apps, I've finally begun the process of creating a Website for myself. It will be nothing short of phenominal once completed. Give my work in progress a look by visiting www.matthewseward.com. Stay tuned.

Well It's About Time...

Finally, finally, Sanjaya got the boot from American Idol. I know that I've been negligent about posting to my blog lately, but this monumentous occassion called for a few celebratory words.

Thanks a lot, Buckeyes.

While I rarely do well in the March Madness brackets, this year's installment was particularly painful. Instead of voting party lines, I tend to mix things up a bit in my bracket choices in hopes of gaining big from victorious underdogs.

This year's bracket was not as interesting as those of the past, as many teams performed just as expected. I lost out big time and watched my name fall down the ranks.

I did, however, have the Ohio State Buckeyes going all the way and winning this year. Up through last evening, I had high hopes. In the end, I should have taken my ten buck office pool entry fee and lit a cigar with it, flushed it down the toilet, or let it go out the car window. There's always next year.

A Trial Run...

So, I'm trying to get my first blog set up. It has definitely been easy. Essentially, I want to have a place to post personal and professional accomplishments. Currently, I'm working to complete my Master of Science degree in Integrated Marketing Communications from West Virginia University.

I am also interested in assisting organizations with marketing communications on an as-needed basis. Well, I'll keep this one brief. Welcome, all, to the Matthew Seward Roadshow.
