Dear Diary

A funny moment that continues to happen is that people are continually "revealing" to me that they read my blog. Hi Shawn!

Why the quotation marks? Well...Because every time someone tells me that they read my blog, it's like a confession. They sort of tip-toe around the situation, careful not to get killed by...me...?

For the record: I would not have named my blog Matt Doyle, nor mentioned the professional work I was doing, nor set the URL as mattdoyleweb.blogspot.com...if I wanted to keep it private. Blogs are hardly private...but this one is pretty much meant to be a big glowing stamp of public goodness, so read away! We live in the age of google. Nowadays when we meet a person...we google them. I have no problem with a person finding my blog. I guess it's sort of the new way of shaking hands. Creepy? Yeah, but what isn't creepy when it comes to how we're living now. Myspace anyone?

I am constantly surprised at the growing blog community though. I think people enjoy writing blogs because it's a way to share thoughts rather than keep them locked up in a little journal by your night stand. My problem with regular journals is this: If no one's ever gonna see it...then who the hell am I writing it for? I really don't have the patience to write only for the whole nostalgia thing of reading the journal entries in 5 years and thinking..."wow."

Things are good right now. I'm letting my body and voice rest after a week of rockalicious spazzing. I didn't do a damn thing today. At all! It was incredible. But I miss my cast and crew! Is that weird? Perhaps, but I really love the people involved in this production. I mean really though, just look at them. Kelly is having a field day with her hair.
