PlaceMatt Horoscope 2008 (belated birthday edition)
This is your big year Placematt as you turn 45. You have made the correct decision by purchasing darker frames that turn your already dominating personality into a formidable first meet and greet for anyone of sensitive constitution. Tomorrow you are nine years old and you will spend much of 08 as you did 07, looking for people and places to explode with your optimism and vision. 
But something will be different for you Capricorn this year as many of the things that you have envisioned for years will come to fruition. Your crappy widget jpeg will become a dominating force in web world and your dream of being a daddy of many will become a doubled effort that will force you to decide what to do with your blogspot. But instead of being able to decide for yourself, Emmy will plainly and simply ask you to leave the presentation as she no longer needs to share the stage with a glory hog. Your wife and family will appreciate the extra attention and diligence in all things Dobson as Emmy runs the blog you will change diapers and buy your wonderful wife flowers. But that will only buy a couple opportunities to kick it with the brethren at a couple critical late night roger clyne / brent best / Rhett miller extravaganzas that will only leave you wanting for more. So in a moment of distraction and weakness you will take your buddies challenge to rebuild his 
bronco engine. But wolfman is there to support the salt-water engine conversion. Anything is possible and anything is redeemable. That is your greatest contribution to mankind. As you explode in influence don’t forget your white trash friends and Midwest sensibilities. You will need them when it gets too much. Here’s to you PlaceMatt. You have only a notion of the greatness. Thanks for your friendship and happy birthday.
Viva 08

Genius Post.
Aside #1 PlaceMatt is truly a presence.
Aside #2 I found it quite odd that PlaceMatt chided my second vblog on Technology as being "aggressive". Yet he has given way to Miss Emmy.
Aside #3 I found PlaceMatt's IDEA MACHINE to be sheer GENIUS. What ever happen to that important blogging perspective?
Aside #4 Doesn't everyone want to grow up to be Frazier????
Aside #5 This is the mandatory Ronnie Fauss (aka Pop Culture Punk) Reference.
