One of my favorite things to do is mock photos of things and so far I’ve taken these photos myself. Starting today, though, I will be allowing user submitted photos for me to discuss/ridicule. So please email your photos (that you have taken yourself) to me at matt@mattaromando.com along with your name, the photo’s year… Continue reading Let Me Mock Your Photos

I Couldn’t Find Anything Good, So I Got You This
I am not the best gift buyer, despite my guide to bad gifts, but I think it’s because I scrutinize every thing I see when shopping for presents. I end up with pretty good presents but it takes me a while to find the good stuff. That being said, I’m glad I scrutinize gifts so… Continue reading I Couldn’t Find Anything Good, So I Got You This
You’d Better Bring Your Wetsuit
From Kenmore Station, an MBTA T stop, in Boston: Do you see that rather large chunk of blue? That is a river, you cannot walk in it.

The Ice Cream That Couldn’t Get Any Love
There is a delightful little ice cream stand in upstate New York called Country Cream (known locally as “The Penguin”). They sell some food too but that’s not really important right now.

It was also hung up in an old silverware factory, which makes it sort of stranger.… Continue reading An Axiom of My Life
