Matthew A. Pino- Just Pino for those in the know!

About Me

I am a 24 year old Cuban/ Italian born and raised in Georgia. Currently, I am doing my best to wrap up an English Education degree at Kennesaw State University. I work at the Atlantic Grill down in Atlantic Station and also as a reproprinter for a company called LDI. When not completely occupied with work and school, I like to get out of the house as much as possible. Always interested in making new friends and connecting with old friends. If anybody finds me- drop me a line. Don't be shy or afraid to pry- I am an open book, now posting and publishing to the masses. PUT YOUR ABOUT ME SECTION HERE!

My Interests

I really enjoy winding down from a hard day out on the job site by cranking up the volume on my bass guitar. The reverberations relax me. I am interested in music and, while my prime genre is alternative and rock, I do my best to gain exposure to everything from rap- to country- to classical- to jazz. I have been involved in theatre for many years and enjoy getting to see shows whenever I can. I love live music in dive bars. Why would you go clubbing all the time when you can hang out in a chilled environment that allows you to acctually converse with people while soaking up a live background? I like to write and do my best to compose in my spare time; mostly lyrical poetry and such for song lyrics. I love going to the movies and try to keep up with new releases. Work hard- play hard.

I'd like to meet:

I am an extremely colorful and extroverted person with little shame. I like loud and spontanious people. I do not judge or discriminate and do my best to mesh with all kinds of folk. I'd like to meet someone who isn't afraid to be themself around me. I like feeling good about myself- so sad and unhappy people need not feel obligated to contact me with their problems for I have my own. Life isn't about the bad things that happen to you along the way. Your character is defined by how you deal with those problems. PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE!

Music:

Bass- bass- bass... Love listening to jazz bass lines. A good walk takes me for a wild ride. I like heavy alternative styling such as primus and metallica, but also occasionally enjoy lighter, more relaxed tones with some Norah Jones or John Mayer. I would say that I have a broad and eclectic musical taste that applies to all forms of expression. It is easier to describe what I don't like than what I really enjoy. I don't really connect with harder rap or slow country. It takes a certain mood to appreciate techno and I don't get a chance to listen to much new wave. Aside from that, with a few exceptions, I pretty much run the gamut.

Television:

Adult Swim is awesome. I love Family Guy and Futurama. I am an old school Simpsons fan. Witty cartoons are most excellent. American Dad is alright and , like the Boondocks and Aquateen, I find that it's hit or miss. I just recently got into Heroes and the Office (American version).

Tom Cruise is the messiah???

Has anybody else heard about Tom Cruise being appointed a "Christ-like" position in the church of scientology? Somebody, please tell me I'm delusional; this can't be right. He is the new "Christ" of S...

Mother's Day
