Mic Check
They done messed up and gave me a platform to vent!
Alright, wait… so we on?
Mic check... Mic check one, two, one two…
Where Brooklyn at! Where Brooklyn at! Where Brooklyn at! Where… nah that’s too far. Hold up…
Lemme reel it in before the professionals run away.
Ahem. Well hello there partner, how are you doing today?... oof, nope too much.
Maybe if I just think less.

That’s right, stop thinking. Close your eyes, and stop thinking. Relax your body. Leave your head, and walk downstairs into your heart like your mentor taught you, Matt. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. I can do this.
What’s up good people, Matt here. Took a little while to get out of my head, but here I am. Let me start with who I am. I’m Matt Kane. But, during the day it’s Dr. Kane. I’m a Licensed Psychologist, and I use that to do therapy for people in my community. Individuals, couples, or families, honestly I love it all. however, I do a mix of other things too— which is how I always wanted my life to be. Thanks to the training I received I’ve found purpose for my abilities through things like consultation, speaking engagements, teaching, and writing. And once again, I love that shit too.
Yes, I am your typical proud nerd, former Division One athlete, and anime head. Over the course of my life the flies on the wall have watched me amalgamate, into one day, the teaching of the Bhagavad Gita, with the flow of a hang clean press, all before providing unconditional positive regard to my clients, and afterwards, at night, cry in the bathroom because I missed Kakashi vs Zabuza on Toonami (true story). Some might call these flies voyeurs, I call them dedicated. Anyway, what I’m saying is I’m all over the place. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s a lot to love about my life.
And sometimes, I need to vent. Not that I don’t have spaces to do that when I’m in my professional roles, but it’s different. I mean, no client comes in and says “hey, I’m just dying to listen to how you’ve been doing, Ill pay you to share!”
Is that rude? Maybe.
Understandable? I guess.
The point being, sometimes I want to vent and share what I’m thinking and feeling, still with respect, and at the same time with a lil more creativity, authenticity, humor, and how do you say… noncolonial-istic professional norms and expectations. That means white for the people in the back. And that is what this page is for.

If every now and then you’d like to laugh with me, learn with me, cry, skip or brood with me, here’s the place to come life with me for a bit. My meanderings have few limits, and I’m always open to recommendations.
But, let’s get one thing straight… this damn sure ain’t therapy, I’m Off The Clock.
