I am here for Friends

About Me

Hey. My name is Matt. I believe that I'm an infinite being inside of a finite shell. I believe in God. I believe Jesus is the son of God (though not in a literal reproductive manner). Although i consider these facts to be of the most essential to my life, i don't always treat them as such. Working on it. Aside from that, I'm 22 years old and I just moved from my hometown of Rockford, IL to the beautiful windy city of Chicago. My purpose here is getting a bachelors degree in photography at Columbia College and hopefully, start working professionally in a photography related field upon graduation (maybe even before, i dunno). I also play drums in a rock and roll band called Geronimo! with two other gentleman living in chi-city. It's pretty fun, come check out a show sometime. I'm a nice open minded guy who enjoys the company of nice open minded people. Life is a great and beautiful adventure.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Interesting people with passion for life and love for their brother man.

Quintisential Summer.

Although the air wasn't especially warm, it wasn't especially cold either, which conviced Matt R., Seth, Jared and I to take a tubing venture down the kishwaukee river.  We convened about 3:00 an...
