My friend Matt

I met Matt Mungle back in 1999 or 2000, I really don’t remember exactly when or where or how, but it had to do with the Dallas radio station 89.7 PowerFM and bands…or…a company I worked for called GroceryWorks. If that was the case, I was in marketing and did on-air live GroceryWorks plugs for several radio stations here in the DFW area (Mix, Kiss, and I really don’t remember them all to be honest.) It was incredibly fun and as shy as I am about speaking in public, radio never freaked me out since people can’t really see you…

Anyway, through the years, Matt and I have kept in touch and I noticed in January, he added me to his “top 8” on Myspace. When he did, he sent me this message:

… how are you feeling these days. I have been so busy I haven’t had time to ask. I hope you are having a great 2006. This will no doubt be a huge year of change. Im just telling you up front. It is the curse of being number one in my top 8 ;-)

Happy day yo.

Now, little did Matt or myself know that only a week after this message, I would be resigning from Westside, two weeks later interviewing at Lake Pointe, a month later, interviewing there again, or two weeks after that moving to Texas.

At this point, I’d like to say thanks, Matt…as much as I laughed at your “top 8” curse when you emailed me…I gotta say now it’s a little freaky! But I’m glad you were right.
