The author of this blog goes by the name Marcus Matherne. He does this because it was written on his birth certificate. Sometimes he talks about himself like he isn’t right here listening.
A summary of me:
I live in Mason, Ohio. I’m over 40, in both years and weight. I’m a tall guy, so the top shelf is mine.
I have been married over 17 years. I would do it again too–same person and everything.
I have two boys. They are both less than 40 years old, for now.
I like when people smile as they read my words. I love when they laugh out loud. I dislike the LOL abbreviation. I won’t use it and you can’t make me.
I have issues with typos and spelling errors. I try hard to avoid them, but my teenager finds more mistakes in my writings than I ever can.
Oh, and by the way. I, as in me, wrote the stuff on this blog. So don’t go copying. Share everything you see using the buttons and widgets if so inclined, but don’t steal my stuff. Don’t make me go all

on you. Thanks.
Hi Marcus! You are funny (funny ha ha, not funny strange…well, maybe strange, but in a good way), and I apologize in advance for any future use of “LOL.” It’s a problem. I know.
You totally got me with your secret hidden page, too.
Thanks so much for the recent follow – I look forward to sharing many laughs! 🙂
Hey thanks. …many laughs… and then you hit me up with a single smiley face. You leave me confused.
You’re really funny!
Also thanks for checking out my blog
Hope we can have some sort of blog rapport going on 🙂

Hey, I’ve nominated you for two blog awards, and you can check those out here: http://themediaries.wordpress.com/2012/07/22/blog-awards/ But also, feel free to ignore
I’m touched. So thanks for that. I’ll have to read up on what this means. You don’t have custody rights to my first born son now, do you?
Only if his hair is red…
Hello! I’ve nominated you for the versatile blogger award. Details below.
Thanks!
…and thanks for that!
So we can’t make you write LOL then. OK.
You do know you’re Rumpelstiltskin, right? That folk will now try to trick you into it?
On a completely different matter, perhaps you can help me out. I’m scratching my head trying to come up with a quicker way to write “losing one’s looks”. Any ideas?
Obviously that would be “LO” hey, wait a minute! Try this. I would simply use “gone ugly” and maybe I could see the use of “GU” as acceptable.
On another note: Did you have to look up the spelling of Rumpelstiltskin? If not, way to go!
Dag, as they say, nabbit.
My achievement doesn’t seem so great. I don’t know how else I’d’ve written it. Perhaps Rumple instead of Rumpel? but Rumpel is Germanner, and so Grimmer.
Lots of Luck.
thank you so much for the like! im glad too, because i got read your blog! awesome!
Welcome to here. Enjoy. Glad you can make it.
LOL … yeah I’m not a teenager either.
witty and funny!
I know you are, but what am I? Sorry, that was childish.
I recognized you in my blog!!! http://motherhoodisanart.com/2012/08/25/and-the-nominees-are/
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Whimsically Yours and liking my post, Petronella & The Trogot 🙂

Thanks for liking my story followed you on word press 🙂
My favorite blogs are those with words. I like some of the “picture” blogs too, but mostly the ones with words…
Oh ok awesome Yeah I used Hot Spot Studio It’s a basic program to create lights etc and colorful ones to plus the software Is open source and free 🙂 Sorry for the late reply…
Oh my, you have a wonderful way with words, I’m a little jealous. This entire post made me laugh.
…and that is why I write. Sometimes crap, sometimes funny.
And regardless of whether or not it’s bad or funny, there’s always something to say, or some kind of truth behind it.
And the try, let’s not forget the try.
Hi,
thanks a lot for visiting my blog, and I’m here to requite now…. with the hope you can be back to read me….
hugs

Thanks so much for reading and liking my blog! Glad to discover you–you’re very funny!! Looking forward to reading more of the voices in your head!
Thanks! The voices wont stop, so come back soon.
You say you don’t like the LOL abbreviation, and wont use it, but you just did in this post.
Well that would be like trying to explain to someone that you dont like green beans without saying “green beans”. Too much work…
I just meant that you could have written it out and not used the abbreviation, but hey WTF
…and I was trying unsuccessfully to be a goof ball. Maybe that was smart-ass mode. Sometimes that come out sounding the same. Sorry. Welcome to my blog!
thanks, great to be here, we need more humor. people are way too serious most of the time
thanks so much for “Liking” my inaugural post at my Little Black Petals blog earlier today. I am very new to this whole blogging thing and will need some time to work out the kinks. i hope that will visit again. in the meantime, i will look to your blog as an example of how the pros do it. 😉
ha! I was called a pro.
by a self-proclaimed novice. i.e. someone who doesn’t know any better. just take it. 😉
Thanks for liking my blog! I really enjoy humor and yours is really funny. I am sure that when you get to be a grandparent you will find so much more humor there! Enjoy the journey.
Now you’ve done it, I can’t wait to be old. (welcome to the voices)

Daily? Whoa. Hold on there. I cant be posting daily. Way too much pressure. I hope you like digging through the archives…
Hi Marcus, my new best friend from Ohio. (I’m not a stalker; I promise.) I tagged you for the Look Challenge. The next time you pull something from your book, do the challenge and show us a ‘look.’ You can see the easy rule on my post today. Read your sample. Fun stuff, and a great idea for a book. You’re a Lucky Charms kind of guy, eh?
They are magically delicious. How can anyone not be a “Lucky Charm” kind of person? …and I’m going to take a “Look” right now… …and now I have completed the look challenge. Now what?
Hey…thanks for visiting my blog. Glad you liked the post. Just love your sense of humor, am still smiling after reading some of your posts … will be sure to visit often:)
Welcome to the voices. We’ll be seeing each other around!

Hi,
Thanks for visiting & for the like :-).
Take care.
Your blog covers an wild amount of topics.
Yes it does :-). It’s fascinating to see the diversity of issues that are experienced in life.
It just goes to show how complex but rich human life can be.
Wish you well 🙂
Nice to meet you,Marcus. (I have a character named the same,spelled differently,Markus) You have a wonderful blog. Much success to you! 🙂
…and I thank you for all your comments.
Mason, Ohio! That’s awesome! I actually have family there.
“It’s a small world” always seems to be more common than not…
I completely agree. Six degrees of separation is so fascinating.
HI there… just came across your blog and loved the funny-ness here 🙂
I run a blog too…www.expressedd.wordpress.com.. not even close to funny stuff, all serious.. but would love it if you popped by..

Crap, I’m a terrible speller! definitely*
My children often find typos and spelling errors after I push the publish button. You are not alone.
Welcome! Do you hear the voices too?

I’ll be back (to your blog, not cleveland)
Many thanks to every one of your voices, for the like on Montessori!
Check! And I’m glad you dropped in here too.
I hate that abbreviation, too. You know the one I mean.
I do know the one you speak of. In other words, IDKTOYSO.
Hey Marcus! It’s Maddie Cochere’s fault that I’m here. Sounded like a fun place to be so I thought I’d drop by.
Cheers!
Welcome! But watch out follow her. She is crazy.
Thanks for stopping by Being June! Looks like we’re neighbors; I’m in Metro Detroit.
I guess we could be neighbors…Detroit/Cincinnati…but I’m not walking to your house from here. Welcome.
Thanks for your visit to Discover Santosha today, and for leading me to your blog. I too dislike spelling errors and never write “lol”.
But I do laugh a lot.
welcome!
Sooo tempting to use it. But won’t, too many got there before me. Always a day late and a dollar short. BTW ( HA!) I have two boys too. Thanks for dropping by “Honey.”
Welcome! …and even more welcome since your tempation passed without issue.
I am so envious. I would love to be known as the Funny Blog Guy. But I guess I am not that funny yet. ..and you would have to retire. Keep up your fun work!
If you stopped and consider that “Funny” might be referring to the way I look and not the way I write, you will become less envious.
From Springfield. Where in the heck is Mason. A lot has changed since I been gone. Glad you liked my blog. Must be a very jarring place.
Yeah, we can everything down here. Mason is the big burb of Cincinnati — where Kings Island is planted.
Good to hear from a fellow Ohioan. I went to Miami U.
“Sorry Steve, I dont think we are allowed to be friends”, said the Ohio University graduate. I think they’ll revoke my diploma.
I didn’t say anything about being friends, you green-blooded son of a … sorry. Too much coffee. Where was I? Oh, in the words of a famous Native American chief, “Bobcat suck, Redskin super good.”
One of the most creative tee shirts seen around campus was the “Muck Fiami” shirts. So where are you now? asked the Cincinnati guy that is way too old to be concerned with school rivialries.
LOL I would have gone to Ohio, it’s beautiful campus.
You are a pretty funny guy! In a LOL kind of way, if you know what I mean. I actually found you because I had a question about being able to see who shared my blogs on social media sites. I googled, it brought up your question from 2010 and the disappointing answer that due to privacy issues etc and so forth. I decided to come check you out to see what the funny blog guy was about. Also, my husband did a stint at Ohio University back in the 90’s when he thought he wanted to be a music therapist. Long story, he’s not and that is a chapter we sometimes wish we could rewrite, but it was a beautiful campus and area of Ohio. I tend to ramble. Sorry. Anyway, seems I got here at a time when you are going to repeat posts, which reminds my of a story about Pete and repeat…..anywho, I guess if I come back it will be fresh to me. I will now write end my comment.
What exactly is a stint at college? Is that where they immobilize you to that you can heal properly? No wait, that’s a splint.
