Matthew's Journal

I'm retiring the use of this software to run my journal and I've switched to Wordpress. The transition is still a work in progress, but, for the moment, you should use the URL millercommmatt.com/wordpress. Eventually, you'll just be able to use millercommamatt.com to view my journal, photos, and anything else I put up.

It's that time of year again. At the request of my mother, here is my Christmas wish list for this year.

26th Birthday List

• Tennis Raquet Overgrip (Tournagrip?)
• Networkable External Harddrive
• A Case of Tennis Balls

I'll add more things as they come to me. Some of the stuff on this list is too expensive to be practical anyway.

Christmas isn't too far off and it's the time of year when family starts asking me what I want. Therefore, I thought I would post a few of the things that have come to mind already.

Canon XTi SLR Digital Camera
Just the body can be found online for ~$600.

Network Harddrive
One of these will allow me to backup and store data for all the computers on my home network. This will be nice to have considering that the harddrive in Christina's laptop is near death.

A Black Blazer
I figured that this one was self-explanatory. A black single-breasted two or three button coat can be worn with just about anything. I don't want anything too fancy. I just want something light and simple.

Tennis Shoes
My current tennis shoes need to be replaced. The hard part about getting shoes these days is that most of the ones available are either really expensive or look ridiculous.
