About Me


My name is Matthew. I am a 23-year-old single gay male living in rural Connecticut. I'm a complete mutt-- Italian, Irish, Polish, German, English, Scottish, and Dutch. I'm a 5th year college student with a major in communication, but I've decided that I want to go into nursing. Unfortunately, I'm so close to getting my degree in communication that it would be a waste  not to finish this first; so I'm currently going to school for a degree that I no longer want. I ended up getting a bad case of senior slip so I decided to take the rest of the semester off to clear my head. I live with my Dad and our dog, Arthur. My brother lives on his college campus while I commute. My mom passed away in late January of 2008 and people tell me I'm just like her, which I enjoy hearing. She was my everything. She was my motivation for doing the things that I didn't want to do.

My interests are very widespread. Musically, I enjoy almost anything. I'm extremely picky about the rap and the country that I listen to, however. My favorite artists are Evanescence, Disturbed, Jeffree Star, Monty Are I, Escape The Fate, Alesana, Lady Gaga, We The Kings, No Doubt. I also enjoy Fall Out Boy, 30 Seconds to Mars, Breaking Benjamin, Three Days Grace, Apocalyptica, The Used, and more.

As far as sports go, I enjoy playing volleyball. Watching.... I root for New York. I'm trying to get more into football, obviously rooting for the Giants. Baseball, I am not a fan of watching, but root for the Yankees. For hockey, it's all about the Rangers!! At least for the NHL. For the AHL, you gotta love the Hartford Wolfpack!! If you couldn't tell, hockey is my favorite sport to watch! My mother used to say that hockey takes the most skill out of any sport-- balance, coordination, etc.

I'm not going to go into how I'm a hopeless romantic and mention all the qualities that I'm looking for in a guy-- I have enough profiles posted on various websites... I don't need to turn my fitness blog into a cry for date.

As for hobbies, I enjoy going to concerts. I actually collect concert hoodies, I'm up to about 8 or 10, now. Some don't quite fit, but I can still wear most of them without looking completely ridiculous. I like to go deep-sea fishing. Seriously.... if you catch a couple blue fish or stripers.... you don't need to work your biceps for a month!! That's probably an exaggeration but I know I'm sore the next day!! I like to go crabbing in the summer; my grandmother makes an awesome spaghetti sauce out of them. I am getting into cooking, which I enjoy. I want to put together a book of recipes when I get the chance.

I'm not going to bore you by extending this post too much. I just wanted to introduce myself and who I am; let you get a better feel for who's writing the blog that you're reading. In any case, I hope you enjoy the blog and I hope it helps you in your journey "through thick and thin."
