Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.

When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

If you combined slick lyricist K’Naan with slant-rhyming Emily Dickinson then subtracted talent and a dictionary and divided by 1,000, the result might sound a little like this unbelievable rap from former Texas A&M student and current Dallas Cowboy Martellus Bennett.

Bennett, about whom the Ft. Worth Star Telegram once wrote “had more memorable quotes than memorable catches at Texas A&M,” is apparently quite the kid at heart. A very rich kid who likes Cap’n Crunch. A lot. He also seems to have a penchant for old Nintendo games, as it sounds like his DJ on this track is Super Mario, straight out the dungeon level.

And, if this dude really does dig on Cap’n Crunch for lunch, it’s going to be a long season for the Cowboys offense (hope, hope). If anyone can figure out how to make this into a ringtone, I would be eternally grateful.
