It's occurred to me that you guys probably don't know too much about me. If you watch me on YouTube, you get small snippets of whats happening in my life but that's about it. If you follow me on Twitter, you'd know a bit about what I like. But I've never really introduced myself to you, everyone has tagged along with me on this journey (being an online identity) part of the way through. No one has really been there from the start, so what better way to start of BEDA than with me introducing myself.
Hi, my name is Mathew. I am 18 years old and live on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. I am currently completing a Certificate IV in Youth Work, and work at my local church as a youth intern. I am a Christian and love the Lord Jesus Christ.
I grew up wanting to be a doctor. You know, the work in a hospital and heal the sick peoples sort of doctor. However, last year I was metaphorically slapped in the face with a reality check and realised that it was not for me. Right now I'm not sure what I want to do with my life, but I do have a passion for teenage kids and seeing their lives turned around. So I'd like to do something in that area. I spent a year at uni last year, I've deferred this year, but I plan to go back next year.
One of my main hobbies is playing video games, in particular Final Fantasy. Favourite FF game is VIII, but I also really like X, IV and VII. This is quite an expensive hobby so recently I haven't been doing so much of it. This decline in gaming has made me realise that having friends is cool so I do that a lot more now.
I also enjoy listening to music. Lyrics can speak to me in quite a profound way I find, whether they give light to a situation, properly explain something which I'm having troubles expressing, viewing something in a new light. Also I just love it when a song tells a good story. My favourite band is the Killers, and it's mainly because of that last point. Brandon Flowers is a master story-teller and can just link the sounds of the instruments to the words of the song and it's just beautiful. Other bands I like include Relient K, Anberlin and Jars of Clay, all for the other reasons.
Another small hobby is video making. I'm not good at it, but it's something I enjoy. In primary school I realised I had a little creative seed in me and used to put it to good use. However it's since been buried and I'm trying to find it again. I like making videos because it's a way to find the creativity deep within me. One day I'll find it again.
I'm a bit of an odd person to talk to, but I'm also sorta nice and sweet.
That's about all, I'll talk to you tomorrow. <3
