I came to a startling realization this week. I climbed out of the bed, and went into the bathroom and stood staring at the mountanous form before me in the mirror. I had become Matt Foley.

Matt Foley was a character from Saturday Night Live, back in the late 1980's & early 1990's. He was a Motivational Speaker, who's life was a shambles. His catch phrase was "I live down by the RIVER in a VAN!" In other words, if you think your situation is tough... take a gander at mine.





Well, I've decided that Matt Foley is going to be motivation. I'm going to print his picture, and put it all over my house. I'm going to print him on t-shirts, and put him on my bathroom mirror. I'm going to use it as a visual reminder that there is a skinny person who's been devoured by Matt Foley, (the chubby who's taken over MySpace). And he's climbing out... STARTING NOW.
