..
I'm Matt, 20 years old.
I'm in my 3rd and final year at De Montfort University, doing Journalism & Media Studies. It's not bad, but I'm not as passionate about it as I used to be. Well, I think I am, but my unbridled love for music has overtaken it. I chose to do Journalism because I couldn't do anything music related, as I have no musical qualifications, but in my eyes, music is music. You may be able to spout off about chords, scales etc, but it doesn't mean you can write a truly good song, or even appreciate music for what it is. Music is THE most important thing in my life. I hate when some people say that because they're blatantly lying; they listen to music that doesn't mean or say anything to them, they don't endeavour to create their own... how can music be your life if not everything in your life is related to music? For me, music is everything. I'm not scared of anything except going deaf.
Let's get this straight: I'm a fucking metalhead. I LOVE metal. For me, it's the greatest genre of music there is. It sounds better than everything else, it speaks to me like no other form of music does. Hand on heart, I truly believe I will never go off metal. That said, I am not one of those 'trve' metalheads that listens to metal exclusively. Good music is good music, end of. No matter what genre, I will listen to anything as long as it's good music. I listen to bands/artists that almost nobody else I know likes, and frequently am the butt of jokes because I'm listening to what is perceived as shit, simply because of the genre or band, but I really couldn't care any less. Like I said; good music is good music.
Here's some music I like. It's random, from Last.FM and goes on what I've listened to in the past. It may chuck up some songs I love, or it may shove you songs I've only listened to once or twice. Either way, give it a listen.
If you don't know me, I may seem like a bit of a cunt and I make no apologies for this. I speak my mind nearly all of the time; there are not many people I will hold my tongue around because, quite frankly, there are not many people that I truly care about. I may be your friend, but it doesn't mean I really care what you think. I've spent the last 8 or 9 years caring too much what people think of me, and recently I've realised that what you think doesn't affect me. I admit I'm rather selfish sometimes, very fucking bitter and if I feel like it, I can be vindictive. Again, you only need to worry about this if you're somebody I don't care much about.
If I care about you, I'll do just about anything for you. If not, I'll barely give you the time of day. I very VERY rarely spend money on other people out of generosity for two reasons. One, I don't have much money because I'm a student and two, I'm selfish. If I've ever spent money on you, lent you money or even less likely, given you some of my beer, feel privileged; at the moment I can only think of about 10 people ever.
Oh, by the way, I very rarely tell people how I truly feel about them. So, again, if I have done, feel privileged.
If you haven't met me, you've probably judged me on this self-desription. Don't worry, I'll judge you when I lay eyes on you. First impressions are very important with me, it takes a lot for them to change. There are some people I haven't met and I know I will never like because of what they've done in the past.
In case you hadn't guessed, I'm rather straightforward with my opinions. Chances are, you won't agree with all of them, or even some of them, but I don't give a fuck in the slightest. I think and live the way I do through experience. I know I'm only 20, but trust me, I've looked at the world through a plethora of different eyes. An example: I've been a Christian and a neo-Satanist, but I'm now pretty much an athiest. Another example; I've been pretty much the most left wing person you could ever meet, and now I'm very far right on some issues, but still left wing on others. I don't have strong opinions on things for the sake of it, and I haven't flicked from viewpoint to viewpoint just for shits and giggles. I've analysed what I believe, looked at the evidence etc, and come to realise that what I thought was right was, in fact, wrong.
You're probably bored now. I don't care. I'm bored of typing though. I'm more interesting than this page, if you like what you've read, get to know me. You never know, I might actually like you.
And if you don't like me, fuck off.
