May 2023, my stalker, who I have a Civil Stalking Protection Order granted against, violated it and started harassing one of my employers. Matthew Berdyck hates that the documentary exposes him for contacting police and city officials an obscene amount of times, which he denies doing. And he reacts by contacting other police and city officials an obscene amount of times.

June 2023, my stalker, who I have a Civil Stalking Protection Order granted against, keeps making Twitter Spaces audio about me, then deleting them. I think it's his way of communicating with me and trying to circumvent the CSPO. They are pretty weird so I did a reaction video to some of the content.

April 2022, I was awarded a grant from my local arts organization and my stalker went ballistic.... right before we have a hearing for Contempt of Court against him for violating the Civil Stalking Protection Order that was granted against him.

Late 2021, my cat Lorenzo Lamas Jones had liver failure. It was a dark time because we were still in COVID and in the past year, I had already lost two other cats to cancer. While I was going through this, the titular "Monster" attempted to get GoFundMe to take back all the donations I needed to save Lorenzo. This is just one such story of pain and misery caused by this man.

In a past life, I was a musician. Not a particularly good one, nor that gifted. I played every instrument (except the harmonica, strangely could never figure that one out). My entire life changed in 1989 when I got a Fostex 4 track cassette recorder. Suddenly I could COMPOSE songs, play several instruments. In late 1990, I got a synthesizer with 8 tracks internally with drums and a way to record the music, then add 3 more tracks on the multitrack recorder. This was me experimenting for hours upon hours just writing and playing music for years.
I had a plateau though. I only wanted to reach a certain point in my playing and songwriting. By 1997 I had reached certain goals and music just lost it’s luster. I recorded an “album” which was really just a collection of songs I had started in college and finally got these to a point that I was pleased with. One song stood out though by quite a large margin.
I started music with band and that came from my love of orchestral scores for movies. When I was 5 years old I got the single for STAR WARS MAIN TITLE with a B-Side of CANTINA BAND, which lead to the double album soundtrack to Star Wars, which is still in a frame on my wall right now (thanks Shane Howard!). With Star Wars came Indiana Jones and more John Williams.
And from my love on Indiana Jones came a fascination with Egyptology. In 1996, I had the opportunity to go to Egypt with my friend Maurice. I had just had a major break up and Moe’s father had just passed. We needed something to jumpstart our lives again and a trip to the Middle East seemed like a radical and new idea.
While we were there in Egypt, a song kept ringing in my head, like a melody that would not go away. It was like it was from a dream or from a distant memory that I could not quite place. One night towards the end of the trip when we were in Upper Egypt (which is in the south near Nubia because the Nile flows NORTH), the hotel had a piano in one of the larger rooms. I sat at the piano and worked out this melody that had been haunting me every day in the desert. I felt like the Sahara called to me and pulled at me in a way nothing else in my life ever had. This melody and song just came out of me and spilled out.
A year later, working with my pal Jeff Krider, the drummer from my bands in High School and College worked on this song. Jeff was brilliant, more brilliant than I think I ever told him (remind me to send him a text…..) and he helped shape the song’s direction and dynamics. This song wound up being the closest to John Williams I would ever get. I’ve loved the song dearly since that first time sitting at the piano and I loved it even more after Jeff and I worked on producing it for several days.
But still. Something was missing. The drums were synthetic and not exactly what I ever pictured. I had always, ALWAYS wanted that Peter Gabriel 1991 Passion authentic Egyptian drum sound. I never achieved it. I tried adding some analog bongos and other things, even a group of friends batting away at cardboard boxes but it always fell short. The song was very good anyways, one of maybe….. one good song I ever made.
And now in 2023, with all the innovations in audio recording and availability to connect with humans all over the globe, the chance to revisit this simple song 26 years later presented itself. And over the past two weeks, I tinkered and toyed and I enhanced this old track by adding the authentic Egyptian drums I always heard in my head. And now the song is remixed, remastered and presented to the world. The way I always heard it in my head when running up a 60 foot sand dune near Karnak Temple in Egypt.
I present to you, Marius’ Tale the 2023 remix. The only song I ever wrote and performed that’s worth more than a silly description on YouTube.

Even though I had ZERO success in music, I though to myself, "I need to do an acoustic album...." and the album before you entitled Heart was recorded in bedrooms and basements then released on CD-R to a handful of people who promptly lost the discs because, yes, it is that bad.

Washoe County NV case no. RCP2022-000550
Matthew Berdyck harassed a reporter, Kim Burrows of NBC Reno. She and the station filed for restraining orders. This is the hearing held on November 8th, 2022 and he appeared via Zoom.
His own emails submitted in court contradict his statements, like when he says he does not live in Reno, but sent emails to the station that he lives in Reno.
The last few minutes of this hearing show how out of control Matthew Berdyck has become. I cannot believe he was not held in contempt of court.
I am working on a documentary called SOCIAL MEDIA MONSTER about a series of events in St. Joseph, Missouri that crossed paths with Matthew and this is just weird. I had to file for a Civil Stalking Protection Order against Matthew myself (Franklin County Ohio case no. 22CVH0602). It was granted against him this past August.

As stated truthfully in this video, journalists from various media outlets did watch the film and make comments to which we made editorial changes, but that does not imply in any way there is a formal association between any media outlet and the production of this film. That was fairly obvious, but the titular Social Media Monster is trying to make something out of nothing and better to just state the obvious.

I have a cyberstalker named Matthew Berdyck. I filed for a Civil Stalking Protection Order on Jan 31st, 2022. This is the first hearing after getting him served.
This guy threatened to cut into my skull with a drywall knife, threatened to run campaigns online to get me killed, and did all of this on video.
All because I am making a documentary about a series of events from St. Joseph Missouri in which he was involved. He's trying to threaten and intimidate me into not making the film.
Shining a light on what he does and says seems like a better disinfectant.

I had not been back to El Paso in 30 years, since 1991. My time living there in the 1980's was tragic and yet my heart always remembers this city with fondness. Being so close to Juarez Mexico and New Mexico means you are driving distance to a lot of fascinating sites like White Sands. I focused on the "thunderbird" on the west side of the mountain because, as you can see in the footage, it was visible from the house our family built in 1984.
Shot with the DJI Osmo Pocket 4L and the DJI Mavic Mini 2 drone.
