  2. Thank you for the follow. Are you into magic (the trickster kind), magick (the occult kind) or both?

    1. I write about magick, though I haven’t experimented with anything more than attempting astral projection 🙂 I work partly as a magician at restaurants and casinos and such, the trickster kind as you call it 🙂 Mostly, I’m a card mechanic. Are you into either?

    1. I read “Totally worthy fellow” and was glowing for about 8 seconds. 🙂 I still appreciate it, and you’re welcome – from what I’ve read so far, I’m really happy to have you in my reader!

  8. Many thanks for the follow on dragonshades. I totally agree about learning and living. I do have ‘qualifications” but all the really useful knowledge has come through self-study and an ongoing exploration of life. Lots of interesting things to explore here so I’ll be back!

  9. Janelle’s not going to get bored with you anytime soon, is she Matthew? I’m highly flattered that you’ve followed my blog. You don’t need any suggestions from me. Carry on enjoying life 🙂

    1. I love the way you write, and your pictures are awesome! So jealous – I’d love to leave the states and live elsewhere for a while, 10 years or so. (I’m pretty sure Janelle will be with me, though 🙂

  15. And I thought I had a lot of jobs. You’ve got most of us beat with paranormal investigator….;-). Thanks for following Wine and Cheese (Doodles), I hope to see you around!

  18. Thank you for the follow Matthew! Please be aware that my blog is a bilingual one. So you may get links to some poems in English as well as to some in Italian… I’m trying to keep the posting balanced between the two languages.

  36. I just have one question…how OLD are you? Or maybe you’re immortal. You’ve done quite a lot for one lifetime! I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog 🙂

    1. Hi Melissa! I am 40 years old. If I were immortal I would probably be lazy 🙂 I’m hoping for 40 more active years. Thanks for the comment! I went for a long long time not having a television – that might be part of it 🙂

  38. Matthew, my kind of person. Thanks for visiting my author page and bringing me here. Fab meeting you and I hope we get to natter soon. 🙂
