How about this: Anyone who is mature and wants to know about or has truthful information on this topic, post away! People who are petty and have nothing better to do with they time than to tell others that they have no lives (I don't see the hypocracy there...lol) can go waste their ever so packed and amazing lives somewhere else. well said.

Emu Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 sawgr said: you guys need fucking lives. Fuck you. Guess what, you're on a Matt Good message board dedicated to... that's right, MATT GOOD! Some people actually do care about him regardless of knowing him personally or not. If Matt came down with some horrible disease should we all "get fucking lives" because we'd be concerned about it? This is no different. Most people don't want to know because they're nosy gossipy assholes, they want to know because they care. There's a big difference.

Muran Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Actually, when I read that comment in Matt's blog, I was a little shocked. Shocked that the person who left the comment, would say something as rude and intimate as that. It's obvious by Matt's refusal to officially say something and his new online beginning, without any mention of her or his personal life, that he really doesn't want that part of his life to be discussed. And so, to leave such a message is just going to rile up fans, and he's probably getting tons of "Are you getting divorced?!" e-mails from people. Yes, people are wondering, and there's rumour and speculation. And it's up to Matt whether he lets us know or not. Until that time, maybe it's just best if we just leave it alone? The thread needn't be closed, and just as other people have already said, just be respectful and mindful of Matt's privacy. As his fans, we should be supportive and caring. Not nosy and gossipy.

X-Rated Truffle Pig Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 yes i agree to be supportive and caring. but some people are not wanting to know for gossip sake. but because they care about Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hum-an-ole Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) yes, care about him and have some empathy for his bitterness at the moment. Anyone else see his header right now? http://matthewgood.org/ Some people would be offened by that without knowing his was going through some problems in his relationship. edit: Muran, I definitely understand and respect you point, but as Chad (Matrix) mentioned, Matt surely realizes with his celebrity that people will be wondering about this, and better to do it here than hound him about it. I just wasn't sure if he had talked about it and I missed it somehow since someone out there obviously seems to know.

somnambulist Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 That's almost a bit immature... but then I was pretty bitter going through my breakup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrinshwa Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I don't think anyone has gone through a serious break-up without the bitter phase. It never really helps in the end, but it's just part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Rated Truffle Pig Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 who cares what he writes. we dont know what happened or what's going on. so why judge when he may or may not be justified. judge after you know for sure. until then. he can say what he wants, because i'm sure he's got reason and its self-justified to himself; and that's all that matters right now.

Corrinshwa Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I just know that I ended a two year relationship over all sorts of insane reasons once and pretty much all that got me through was actually Matt Good's music. My rock bottom moment was one morning when i just couldn't do anything...i didn't want to be. And then i put on underdogs and listened to prime time deliverance for 2 hours straight just crying my eyes out. then i got up, went to work...and kept going. I hope he has something to get him through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Rated Truffle Pig Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 yeah i think the majority of us do to. i've been through my tough breaks. and falls. and have learnt how to deal with it. its cliche but i learned not to cry over someone who probably wasn't crying over me. i cranked the tunes and off i went.

hum-an-ole Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 It may be immature, but I can't help but have empathy for someone who (if the rumors are true) is seperated from their wife for whatever reason. I can't imagine how horrible it would be. The fact that he's back at things so quickly and trying to move on is encouraging: "Maybe the next five days will be the beginning of the turn-around. Maybe 2006 won Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnambulist Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) ^ Yes that is a good thing to read. Sounds like he's having a pretty bad time and I hope it gets better soon. I wonder if this stuff is going to be reflected on the next album. It's hard not to cry when something like that ends. I did, a lot. I self-loathed (haven't quite gotten over that one, who knows if I will), hated, regretted, wished, moped, etc etc etc. Finally after months of not seeing her, I don't give a shit anymore, for the most part. I still find myself missing her from time to time, but not as often anymore. The bitterness is mostly gone, but that was a big part of my thoughts for a long time. Matt Good actually had no part in helping. Made it a bit worse perhaps because I remember one day she called and told me to listen to Strange Days because she'd heard it on the radio, and it fit the moment. We always liked that song. Shit like that makes me miss some of what we had. Edited July 30, 2006 by kirbenvost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrinshwa Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I actually got my ex into Matt Good which means the only time I have to see him is Matt Good concerts. And it's awful.... It's only worth it for Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hum-an-ole Posted July 30, 2006 Author Share Posted July 30, 2006 (edited) Sorry for your loss Kevin. Losing someone you care for is never easy. My current boyfriend and I got together partially because of Matt Good. He saw my cd collection in college and we started talking about music and went to see MG together about a month later and were together not long after that night.

Hopefully Matt will have the strength to move on with the same dignity. (assuming this is all true, as many of you here, I won't truly believe anything until I hear it from the man himself, but it does seem to make a lot of sense and explain some comments coming out of him) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnambulist Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Yes, though not a perfect breakup, I think I'm handling it alright, and hopefully if that's what Matt is going through he'll come out okay too. That's sweet about your current boyfriend. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muran Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Breakups and Music. The great equalizer of peoples. Maybe it's just me, but it's so hard to know he's going through a hard time, and suffering, and we can only rally around him from afar. But he projects himself as a strong man. And I'm sure he has a good network of friends and family to keep him from crumbling. Not to mention his sweet little dogs. There's that Flickr photo of his, the one with the caption "Even in a sea of people, it is possible to be utterly alone" It's hard knowing someone feels like that, even if it's only sometimes...

somnambulist Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 Mmm...yes, I felt like that tonight. There was a big fireworks show here in Vancouver, the biggest one of the year, thousands of people, and although I was with friends I felt completely alone. Strangely I feel less alone here... that's not right but that's how it is. It's hard feeling that way, and sad that Matt feels that way too, but it shows he's just as human as everyone else, which is one of the things I like about him. He's not above everyone like so many artists seem to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not above everyone like so many artists seem to be. I couldn't agree more. I think that's a large part of why so many people end up feeling like they know him and begin to really care for him like they would any friend. Matt's very real and that's what makes him great in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
