Hi my name is Matt, and I am a certified doofus,

Well maybe not certified, but if anyone wants to give me a certification, I'll frame it.

I say this because I have been firmly displaying one of my spiritual gifts of late. See I don't have the usual gifts, I’ve been allocated with such unusual ones as, the gift of Public Rambling (Claire can attest to this), the gift of bring up random conversations that happened 10 minutes ago, as well as the gift of random useless knowledge.

But my greatest gift is of Oral Podiatry or otherwise known as Foot in Mouth Disease. If there was one person who would always pick the wrong time to bring up a topic, it be me. (Nearly any girl I have been close to can attest to this)

I think one of my greatest (if that’s the right word) moments, was at one of my first music camps. I had gone as this very innocent young boy actually not knowing a thing about girls and unbeknown to me had a nice girl follow me to camp (we'll call her N). So while the camp proceeded I realised that this girl had an interest but it wasn't reciprocated, so I had to have many a conversations around the topic and other things like she not getting enough of my attention, but while this was going on I had struck up a really good friendship with another girl (L).

So here I was, on the bus going home sitting next to L and again not knowing to me, N was sitting across from me. And well I started talking to L about girls and I brought up how this girl (N) had come to camp, and that I had no interest at all in her and that all my family and friends were pressuring me into something and that was just even more of a reason to turn me off her.

Well after her storming out of the bus, I realised my first official foot in mouth situation has happened, and well as a few of you know it hasn't let up.

So apart from this blog being a huge sorry to all that have been affected by it. (One person especially) I just want to say I’m working on it, trying to think before I speak and in some ways learning not to speak. The mouth is an instrument of great joy or great pain and trying to make sure it is swinging toward the joy side

So feel free to pick me up on any stuff ups by my but also please have grace on a regular old doofus.

PS. Sorry it was a long one Curtis, you really need to work on you attention sp...
