life

Things people have said to me over the years have been a little hurtful. People have rubbed it into me about how big and noticeable I am, and that kind of makes me self concious, especially when it comes to approaching women. I have always asked other people (especially women in the professional front!) about how to approach them without having to worry about intimidating them. The way other people described it, it's like a football lineman approaching a petite lady. Any advice anyone can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks.

This is my first post on blogger, so I'll keep it simple. My name is Matt Kratz. I live in Richardson, Texas, where I have lived since 1978. I am an aspiring writer and work in the service building at UT Dallas, where I got my Master's degress in Arts & Humanities in 2008. I also graduated from Plano Senior HS in 1990 and Midwestern State University in 1995. I have been trying to track down a girl I always used to talk to in high school with plenty of luck-all of it bad. I have also been trying to track down some UTD people with similar results. I have also been trying to track down some people I used to chat with online.
My favorite current shows are The Young & the Restless, The Big Bang Theory, and 2 Broke Girls. I am a huge country music fan but will also occasionally listen to jazz. My favorite authors are Stephen King and John Grisham. I am a regular at Richardson Community Band concerts and UTD events, especially jazz band concerts, and I like going to c&w concerts. We went to the Lady Antebellum concert earlier this year at the AAC and have tickets to the upcoming Carrie Underwood concert there. It should be fun.
Carrie Underwood, Sharon Case (Y&R), and actress Chelan Simmons are my main celebrity crushes, and I also like some people I have encountered and work with.
My favorite foods are spaghetti, Mexican, and Chinese.
