I am here for Friends

About Me

I have been involved somewhat in music for my whole life and it has become a huge influence in the way that I express myself at least try to. My father was probably my biggest influence growing up in music, always dancing to his drum beats when he would play in the basement,wow that was a long time ago. Though he never pressured me into playing but he was the one who supported me and provided the means to make me the musician that I am today. Let's not forget moms taste in music though which was also a huge influene. Anyways when I am in the mood I love writing poetry and thinking of ideas for a wonderful movie. As well I love writing movie scores and performing as much as possible. I have been playing drums and percussion since about the age of 7 or 8 but not as serious until about the age of 15 and have used that as a gateway through many hard times and stresful situations. Now it is slowly becoming a way of communication for me as well as the music I have started recently composing. I have been in a band "OZ" for the last couple of years. Oz is now moving up and playing in Atlanta and we won a battle of the bands! pretty amazing since it being our first. Now me and the guitarist Adam Clifford have started a side project "The Matt and Cliff Experiment" and the results have been brilliant and incredibly musical but we rarely find time outside of Oz. But on another note I have discovered that I want to do exceptional things in my life and want to be loved by someone who could never doubt my love for them because I feel that is what love truly deserves. On that, my incredible love Jillian...simply put..."POINT.DONE". I never thought I would find so many ways to connect to so many different things, Music, Jillian, and lately trying to connect to myself which is the hardest thing. My sister played a major role in understanding life, she has always been "the philosopher" lol. On yet on another note I care about my friends so much and I feel so amazing when I am around them because they are all so incredible and it is influencing my life incredibly. So thank you all very much for being my friends and my family. But to find words with how I feel about love now is impossible, with Jillian it is so much more than that. I am so happy with her in my life I can't wait to see what the future brings. point.done :) -one love - matthew

My Interests

Music, Drumming, Writing and performing music. Radohead, 311, Incubus, wasting away with my friends and Jill. I am interested in film but mostly music and learning just about everything I can get my brain wrapped around. I also like writing poetry and sometimes just freestyle writing.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet god after i leave this place! I could only hope but as of now all i want to know is my current friends better and discover who they really are and what they truly mean to me.

Music:

I love all music but perhaps my favorite is Jazz, Classical, and Opera, all in line with rock music.I also love to hear my friends perform! they influence my style tremendously! Without any one of them I know for fact that I would not be the same drummer and person that I am today. They truly are amazingly talented. More or Less I think we all look up at each other and recspect our tallents as educated musicians! and We all look at eachother for the emotion we all add to our music.

Movies:

I can give little change to this but this might be my career some day so... maybe I will soon. I love the lord of the rings! I love any movie that Andrew Lloyd Webber has had any part of such as jesus christ superstar, phantom of the opera, and evita! I just like movies in general they are all unique but I particullarly love movies with brilliant direction and sound.

Television:

Chapelle show, Lost, Entourage, The Soprano's, South Park, and the Family Guy. but usually I watch re-runs of seinfield, but I also like watching American Idol, old cartoons, johnny bravo and i like watching football and other sports! but I must admit i'm not much of a tv guy.

Books:

This is also a hard one but one of my favorite authors of all time is the great murder mystery author Edgar Allan Poe! but nothing beats a Dr. Seuss book or a Shel Silverstein! The Jimmy Buffett Book and Gene Wilder Book are great too! But usually in my free time I am just trying to become a better musician.

Heroes:

God, my family, Adam Clifford for his passion of music, and Jillian for her love, one that I have never felt before. I always love being surrounded by my heroes and letting them get a laugh out of me! I hope I can one day become someone's hero! I love all of you! - Hummel

school in its infinite wisdom kinda blows

Seems like everytime I think I have it easy school just kinda gets in the way and makes it that much harder. but all in all I think... I hope that I can breeze through the semester, make a couple trip...
