It seems that The Beaumont Enterprise felt it fitting to give me an outlet for all my thoughts, musings and observations on food, entertainment and other pursuits stemming from "the Mont" (a phrase that, BTW, I thought was AWESOME and would make Beaumont a house-hold name across the nation, but met with some questionable laughter and dismissal by my editors as "silly" and "not cool at all." Whatever.)
Why let the snarky features writer have blatant access to Southeast Texas and, ultimately, the world? Why let him loose, unsupervised, to possibly embarrass our fine newspaper?
My guess is because I walked around the newsroom every day shouting, "I'm SOMEBODY! GIVE ME A BLOG!" but who knows for sure. Anyway, check back here every day for a dose of the funny combined with some random (please, so I can stay employed and continue feeding my dog!).
Now, take me...TO THE BLOG!

dear THE MONT enterprise:
give matty a raise. and a corner office. and less caffein. much less.
ahem, ahem...give credit where credit is due, my friend. if richmond wasn't "le mond," beaumont would never have been "the mont."
Excited about your blog!
Go Matt! I look forward to reading it!
Thank you all...especially you, fellow latin-speaker. I'll pay you for that comment via quid pro quo!
Sound that barbaric yawp to the world, or the Mont, or whatever.
Any and all blogs with references to Joe vs. the Volcano are eligible for The Supreme Blog of the Decade award in my book.
Congrats on convincing the "Monterprise" that we all needed to hear your voice. I'll keep checkin in on you to see what's keeping you entertained in East TX.
I like "The Mont." It will catch on eventually. Keep using it proudly!
I'll add this to my favorites so I'll be sure and click it daily. The thought of your dog starving really makes me sad. You too. : )
i'm a blog watcher, i'm a blog watcher....
i am excited to start learning about the myriad cultural phenomenon occuring in and near the mont area (see when it's not in caps it's much easier to slip into conversation - it sounds gooood)
Yeah for your editors giving in to your GREAT ideas! Promise to check it daily. -Holly
What - "The Mont" was turned down as the title....seriously? Ugh...I will still read, but so much the Mont, the Mac and the Haas!
As long as the Surprise doesn't get to tell you what you can and cannot print, I guess that it is pretty cool.
But I agree, 'The Mont' would have been better. Your current title is okay, but makes it sound like you really don't want to write it.
