I'm Me

I'm Matt and I've never blogged before. I do a bunch of things that define myself. I am an athlete; I play baseball in the spring and basketball in the winter. I love playing sports, and I do so all the time. I was on the varsity baseball team last spring and I'm hopin to grab a starting spot this year. Not only do I play conventional sports, but I also water/snow ski and scuba dive. I got my scuba license in seventh grade so that we could go diving as a family on our first vacation to Hawaii (my dad previously had a license for several years). Scuba diving is an incredible experiance and is so unique to all my other sporting experiances. Besides my sporting background, I spend a lot of time with friends and family, including my two golden retrievers, Bandit and Boomer. My dad is a big part of who I am today, mostly because of his discipline. He expects nothing but the best. I've always worked hard at everything I do in order to meet his standards. A month ago I got into U of I engineering, and I am planning on going into mechanical engineering and finding a career there. I have no specific aspirations career wise yet, but I'm sure my college experiance will take care of that. Some other quick notes about me is that my favorite type of music is rap, namely Kanye and Lil Wayne, but my favorite bands include avenged sevenfold, red hot chilli peppers, and aerosmith. Im a big cubs fan, so no messin around there. So now I'm just kickin back and crusin through senior year. Keep an eye out for that baseball team we got. Should be unreal.
