Anybody got any bongo drums?

Because a certain Matthew McConaughey would probably like to play them
naked right after this interview.

I've locked myself into the library this week cramming for a "final" exam tomorrow (Friday) and today has been one of paralyzing panic - as in I'm so afraid I'll fail that I just figure why bother studying at all. I sit in my chair in front of my notes and reading, yet somehow the hours skate by with nothing getting done. I've resigned myself to bed now, but before hitting the sack, I found this gem of an interview on the internet.

Perez Hilton noted that Matthew is "high as a kite" in the interview, and I'm fairly certain that's an accurate representation. Even better than that, though, is to listen to Matthew speak about his relationship with Lance Armstrong - it's seriously as if he's discussing true love. Awesome.

Matthew McConaughey gets a lot of shit for being in shitty movies, but I've got to say that I'm a fan from his A Time to Kill days. And yeah, he may be a pothead, but in an industry so chock full of high strung, arrogant egomaniacs, his laidback what-the-fuck-ever attitude is kind of refreshing.

UPDATE: The first interview amused me so much, I watched a years-old Daily Show with Matthew. I highly, highly recommend it, but you need to fastforward to the second half (the first half is him just being kind of, well, dumb, as in not smart). It starts to get interesting around the 5:18 mark. Seriously people - you need to hear the story of William the Goat.

Girl, you are the QUEEN of procrastination aren't you?! And to think I was feeling guilty about introducing you to the time-consuming Gold Rush! well, no more. :)

I watched this interview too. What a crazy guy. I have to say, I'm kind of over Matthew and Lance, and, sorry, Niki, but Jake, too. I really don't care how much these guys bike or run or sweat or surf. I just don't understand the fascination with their friendship.
