(Not quite as eleqouent as I had envisioned the video to be but oh well.)
So for those of you that haven't heard, Alex is leaving us for a little while. Apparently, he's become somewhat of a marine and is shipping off shortly. (At least one of us is doing something with their life) But what exactly does this mean for
Mattbert Show you may be thinking. Well, that's kind of a tough question for me.
I can't say I never thought about
Mattbert Show without Alex because when I first
conceived it in my head, he wasn't apart of it and it was totally different from what it is now. I can say though, once I took him aboard to help me I haven't really imagined doing an episode without him in it. After a lot of thinking I've decided we (Me Jason and Adam) will be continuing to make shorts and full episodes of
Mattbert Show. I don't know why I say this as if Alex will never come back, because so far he's only going to be away for three or four months, but it's still a little weird for me. Anyway, here's the real reason for this post:
Mattbert's Goodbye to Alex:Sorry I couldn't do this to your face, but you know how I am about this kind of stuff. Plus, I'm
infinitely better at putting my thoughts down into written word than speech. First off, sorry if I seemed kind of distant today. I really did enjoy spending as much time as I did with you the last two days, just that today I had a lot to think about. Not to mention the well-known fact I'm anti-social unless I have security blankets such as Laura and Jon around. And you guys were having enough fun without me anyway you didn't really need the fifth wheel.
I don't really know how we ever became friends. We are both shy at first sight and even though we worked together, never really planned to do anything outside of talking about not wanting to be at Best Buy while actually working on their
salesfloor, but then I left and we became good friends somehow. You've offered me a lot these past few years such as new friends I don't mind being around sometimes, memories, ideas, encouragement and the list goes on.
I have always tried my best to be there for everyone, especially my friends, whether I wanted to or not, no matter what and I think that's something you've figured out about me pretty quickly. But even though I offer my assistance, it's mostly declined and the rare times people trust me to help them, I'm such a screw-up I tend to mess things up. The reason I am mentioning this is because I want you to know one reason I try to help everyone out is because usually no one else wants to. This path you've
chosen in life will mean that you are going to be helping a lot of people out and I'm really proud of you for that. Remember, you're not a loser like me. You actually have the potential to help a lot of people and do a lot of good during and after you've come back from this experience.
Annnnnnyway, that's all I can write now in my sleep
deprived state. Good luck and I'll see you later kid.
The world just spins along...
