It's Matt! It's Mike!

Matt is a web designer. Mike is a history major. It should be MikattDeasymons.net. Too bad (For Mike). Read on...

Employed…and Musikfest!

When starting a blog, one of the first tips someone will give you is “write write write!!!” Woops…
Anyway, where have I been. Well, I recently started a full time job at the Historic Hotel Bethlehem. What am I doing? Well…I’m a bellman. To tell you the truth, it ain’t too bad of a gig. I get cheap food, free drinks, nice tips and I don’t really have a boss. I do have to get up at 4am tomorrow so I can drive to the airport to pick up some FedEx pilots who are staying for the day. Oh well, at least I’m driving around, it can’t be too bad.
I also am still working for Tricyber LLC, a web design company based out of Oklahoma. Its a little slow right now, but business is picking up.
Also, right now in Bethlehem it is Musikfest! What is Musikfest? Well once a year for ten days the small town of Bethlehem gets transformed in to a sprawling festival of music. It might not seem like a big deal, but about 100,000 people visit “the fest” every night. Some bands that are playing at this years Musikfest:

Those are just the big guys. There are about 130 bands playing in total at Musikfest. Because the festival takes place on Main Street, they close it down except for a lane of traffic. What is that lane of traffic for? Well, Hotel Bethlehem happens to be on Main Street. Guess who gets to go out into the crowds of drunk people and push everyone out of the way so a car can get through…this guy.
It could be worse, but if one more person asks me where my monkey is I might have to start pulling my tips out and counting those bills in their face.

What We’re About

Welcome to the new and improved MattDeasy.net! I’m pleased to announce that we have gone through a re-design as well as added another writer, Mike Symons. Mike is my roommate and also a fellow student at Moravian College. If you want to learn more about us, check out the About page. Or you could stalk us, but I’m pretty sure Mike, despite his short stature, spent a good majority of time in High School breaking people. Good luck with that.

Now down to business. The first post is usually important, seeing as for a while it gives a baby blog a sense of purpose and direction. When reading a blog, the most obvious questions are “What is the point?”, “Why am I putting in the effort to read this?” and “Who let Mike eat Arby’s again?” The fact that Arby’s is absolutely delicious aside, I really can’t answer any of those questions. What I can guarantee is that Mike is a helluva good writer and I am a marginal web designer. These two facts combined means that at least Mike’s eloquence will look somewhat decent on my site. Oh yeah, there is also some natural friction between the two of us, despite the fact I would consider us friends (maybe he does too?). I promise that calamity, a shitload of sarcasm, some strange odors and rambling sentences will ensue.

Make sure to check back in soon for Mike’s response, first post and special sauce recipe.
