Steven and Kephy Kinyon's Bloggy Blog: Fridays with Matty

I have decided to start something.

We will see how long I keep this up.

Because I am so great at blogging...

I am calling it Fridays with Matty.

*no relation to Tuesday's with Morrie*

At least I dont think...I have never read it. But I feel like I have heard people say its super boring/depressing.

All the reviews that I browsed just a second ago seemed pretty excited about it though.

But it was an old man talking to a young man about the old man's life.

I'm not an old man or a young man.haha

Anyway, Fridays with Matty!!

This will not be boring or depressing--at least it wont be for me.

and really, that's all that matters!

Death is such a weird thing.

We know we are all going to die eventually, but sometimes people are taken from us too early.

Ever since my big brother died its been a constant battle of trying to stay away from the memories, and keep all the memories. You don't want to think about the memories, because sometimes they make you sad. But at the same time, you want to keep the memories because they are all you have left....

(thank you pinterest..seriously what did we do before pinterest!?)

The last 2 1/2 years I have done a pretty good job at avoiding memories.

But when you avoid, you forget.

(end of slightly depressing part)

So I am going to stop avoiding, and start writing some of my favorite memories of Matt and me, or just Matty, and maybe even get some people to share their favorite memories. That way when I'm old and senile, I can come back here and remember.

Maybe by the time I'm old computers wont exist anymore... scary.

Before I get into the first memory, one must realize I suck at writing..so ya.

Matt and I loved the musical Rent.

We know ALL the songs backwards and forwards.

Sometimes he would call me, and he wouldn't say hello..

He would just start singing.

{Mind you...we did it in their voices..}

"its true you sold your guitar and bought...a car....." --Matt

"Its true..im leaving now for santa fe, its true your with this YUPPIE SCUM" --Keph

"You said you'd never speak to him again!"--Matt

"not now.. who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all!"--Keph

"Yeah! who said that you should stick your nose in other peoples.."--Matt

Haha you get the idea..

The best part was near the end when mark and roger are fighting we had it DOWN. A little rasp in our voice I tell ya Matt and I could have been on Broadway people.

the best part was when Matty would hit the high note at the very end of the song. "Mimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii"

Seriously kills me every time.

Heres a clip of the song:
