Thoughts on Turning 50

Thoughts on Turning 50

I woke up this morning and found myself 50 years old. It is a significant moment, a momentous occasion, a milestone worthy of celebration and revelry. Except that it isn’t. You see I don’t feel any different than I ever have. Oh sure I’m a bit rounder, significantly more grey, there are a couple aches and pains that refuse to go away, but all in all I feel the same as I did at 20, [...]

Paul Matthew Carr

Paul is a writer, artist and designer. He spends an inordinate amount of time on the Internet blogging about silly things and even more time making things up and then attempting to convince people they are proper stories. He also talks into microphones from time to time.

Who is Paul Matthew Carr?

He’s just a guy who likes to tell stories. He tells stories in paint and ink and words, in pictures and in letters. He believes that the world around us is not so complicated, it’s simply the stories we tell each other. He also apparently likes to speak in the third person.

Not really, I’ll stop that now.

But yeah, that’s pretty much it. I’m a writer and an artist. I like to watch baseball and I am deeply in love with sci-fi and fantasy. In real life I work as a Web developer & designer, I have five dogs and a beautiful daughter who dances. This network is a way to share my stories and interests in a (hopefully) entertaining way. It is a creative outlet. In time I would like this to grow, to be a place where others can contribute and share, debate & swap ideas. For now it is a place to highlight my achievements & shamelessly self-promote. But more than anything it is a place to tell stories. So I’d like to tell you a story. If you’d like to hear it I would love it if you took a moment to check it out.

What’s in a Name?

Paul Matthew Carr is also known as DaddyElk. DaddyElk is something my daughter called me when she was very young. And it makes me happy. It just so happens you can get the whole story here:
