The Me Report
By Matt - Thursday, January 18th, 2007
Last night I was thinking about this blog and coming up with some ideas for posts which to be perfectly honest with you has been a bit tough lately, but I’ll get to that in a second. I had an idea for an irregular posts about myself, the reason for this series posts is that I really like the ‘me’ aspect of a lot of blogs such as Blogging About Debt which is a very personal blog about personal finance and Tricia’s take on personal finance. I find that I don’t write very specific posts about myself rather I put in elements of ‘me’ into some of my posts, this is one will be specifically about me (yes a little selfish I know).
So without further adieu, I’m coming to the close of week two of my new job and I’m loving it! I’ve been getting settled in and learning as much as possible about the business along with getting to know the team. I think I’m setting in quite well and that I’ll succeed really well there; it feels like a really good fit. The best part is that I know I’ll end up learning a mountain of stuff while there.
Part of the reason I didn’t want to stay at my old job was the fact I was driving all the time and now I’m taking the subway, I’m loving it, I get to read for about an hour a day and do a little walking to and from the subway. This is one of the really cool perks about this change.
Other than work I’ve been struggling with a few things, first off is smoking. I’m back to smoking but I think I should be able to get back to not smoking pretty soon. This has been something I’ve struggled with for months and I’m just not sure how to tackle this. I’ve also been struggling with this blog, specifically coming up with ideas for posts. I’m not sure why I’ve had such an issue with this but it was a three-week writers block. Last night I came up with a list of close to maybe 20 topics, which means this issue, should be solved for a while.
Finally my fiancé and I have been watching American Idol and enjoying it; yes very silly but also kind of fun.

I’ve always thought that the point of “Personal Finance” was about the “personal” part. I get frustrated with some of the Encyclopedia of Finance blogs (I wont mention names) that I wont read them unless I’m looking for opinions on a specific question.
One of the reasons I like your blog Matt is that the writing is excellent as well as the topics but I wouldnt mind reading about more of your personal financial adventures as well as updates on your new job, but that’s just me.
As for the smoking- tsk tsk! LOL. I’ll give you a break though because you DID just start a new job and that can be very stressful.

I find reading helps in order to come up with subjects. Reading magazines, newspapers, other blogs, books. The more stuff going into the brain, the more likely a great idea is triggered.
