About Me

HALLO! Welcome; Whassup!?I'm Matt, Matta (My Gaelic Name), Mattheus, Rolling Matt, Shower Matt (or other household matt varieties), Mafia, Scottish Matt, BOOM whatever you wanna call me, just don't call me "Jock"
Yeah so...I'm me always have been, as G's fav ever song lyrics go "it's not about what you do... it's all about who you are... and it's not about who you are... it's all about what you do... "
If anyone knows what song these are from, feel free to tell us because we can't remember. If you look at my pics you will see why memory is at times a problem for us all.
I play guitar and do some back up vocals here and there. I also write some of my own stuff too.
I'm in my first year studying at the University Of Chester, doing Business. Doing my classes I suspended last year because I'm an eejit for fracturing my ankle.
I rollerblade and it's pure dead mental by the way! Through it i get to travel all around the place, meet new peoples, skate new places and most importantly hang out with my friends who are without a doubt the nuts!
I've lived in Chester for over two years and if you ask me directions you have no chance, landmarks i can do, streets that aren't major ones you can forget about it!THE FOLLOWING THINGS I'M NOT A FAN OF......
Fake tans! Wake up for fuck sake you all look like oompa loompas!!Emos, well i dont hate them fully, although they should look up the following in the dictionary; Individuality & SignificancePeople who walk about with their phones playing tunes on loudspeaker, you have mp3 phone good for you, buy some headphones cock sausages!The new ECW (WWECW), ok i still watch it, because RVD, Sabu and The Sandman need me (i'm a faithful now) but since WWE brought it bk theres hardly any extreme rules matches, the old ECW had blood in every match due to use of weapons or that thing Dreamer used we still havent figured out what it was.Fakes/Fakers! Yeah, people who just aren't the same around others than normally, just gets on my tits seriously.People at hole in the wall's (ATM) with 3, YES, FUCKIN 3! bank cards, i mean come on people if you're gonna launder money or dodge the tax man at least do it properly!So feel free to gimme a shout, even if you do fall under any of the above headings, PEACE!
"We're the sport that's not in the X Games. We're the sport that you don't see on Fuse. This banishment from Action Sports, our exile has been really the greatest blessing. Because what happened is skateboarding got so big, that it really became mainstream.
The cool kids at school are wearing skateboard gear, they really have become the jocks. So what skateboarders have done for us, is they've made us them, they've made us the outcast, we are the skateboarders from 20 years ago. We're the ones that go to school with a rollerblading t shirt or carrying your skates and you get ostricised, you get made fun of, you're the rollerfag, you're the fruitbooter. The arguments they use to justify their disdain for us are the same things that they allegedly hate in the jocks.
The skateboarders in sense have become the jocks, that's disheartening.
My idols, the people that created this counter culture model. More than anyone else, anyone that participates in action sports, we are all following skateboardings lead. But for these guys to become what we hate, to become the elitist jocks that can't see past their own clique. That's it. There are qualitative differences between being a skateboarder and being a jock. They celebrate different things, they respect different ideals. And rollerbladers on the scale of skateboarders and jocks are a lot closer to skateboarders. We celebrate the same ideals, we are artists, we are outcasts, we are angry and rebellious. To be shunned by skateboarders, it's dissapointing. And when it all comes back around, when people do start to say that's cool, that's impressive and god willing money comes back into the sport and they put it back on tv.
We'll know that the people that are there at the top representing the sport will have paid their dues and are people we are proud to have representing rollerblading". - Arlo
