Meet the Staff: Mateo (Mathew)

Hey guys, as you've probably figured out from the title of the post my name is Mateo and yes, some call me Mathew. I'll be sincere with  you, this blog was started out by Pablo and Javier not me. By the way thakns Pablo and  thanks Javier. They are great friends, true friends, the kind that will be back you up if you need help. But lets stick to the point. So as I was telling you, I became part of the ATL staff a few days after the blog was created. I'll tell you how it happened. It's a cool story.

It was Thursday, I was having breakfast as fast as I could to get to school on time. Another windy and rainy day awaited me with some kind of surprise. So I reached school, bla bla bla, and I went to class, bla bla bla. Then I went to my second class and just there, in that same French class is were it happened. Pablo and  Javier told me about their blog. And after some talking I was in. I can't remember now wether I asked them if I could join or they just asked me.

The reasons why I decided to start this blog with them are quite simple. I thought it could be fun. I wasn't going to loose anything for trying. I mean, it's not like if I tried to make a blog with some friends I was going to loose a finger. And besides I like movies, sports, music, games and all those things we talk about in our blog. One other reason I joined this blog was for the mere reason to beat some friends at doing it. I hope they are reading this, jajaja. They have another blog which is way worse.

After all these I've told you about, I think we should get down to business, getting to know me better. After all that is the post's purpose. So, where should I start?... Mmmm...Let's see. What about something like this:
Hi my name is Mateo and I'm 15 years old. That will do. I like movies, sports, music (however who doesn't like music) I like reading, I hate school in many aspects, and I love food. Don't get me wrong I'm not fat. I think it will be easier if I go step by step.

Introduction:
You already know my name I've said at least three times in this blog that for some strange reason I don't get to finish. Ok, so I'm not a native English speaker, I live in a rainy place, always raining, just right now it is rainning. When I walk you hear a chof chof. You can imagine it. I'm quite lazy I suppose, I'll have to believe my mum this time. I think I'm funny, perhaps crazy. Most teachers hate me, don't know why. By the way don't tell my mum. I have some great friends Pablo and Javier for instance.

Sports:
I like all sports, specially sports where water is involved. Love swimming, snorkel (don't know if that is considered a sport) surf etc. I also love hockey, just today my team beat Javier's at school. I like longboarding and skateboarding. I also enjoy soccer alot especially doing "cañitos", it is a spanish thing don't worry about it.

Movies:
I love watching movies. One of my favourite films is Lords of Dogtown, hopefully we'll get to make a review about it. It is a really good film. In my list of pending films to watch is Black Hawk Down. Comment and tell me how good it is.

Music:
Basically I like all styles, except heavy metal, which by the way Pablo loves. I play the guitar. I only have a classic guitar at home. However, I've been planning on buying an electric one. Maybe you guys could help me deciding which one.

Other stuff:
Recently I've discovered filming and photography. I'm enjoying this two things a lot. I'm hoping to be able to make some good videos. When I do I'll let you know.

Thanks guys, and remember we are only trying to express our opinions through this blog so don't get angry at us if you don't like them. Oh, wait. I almost forgot this blog has been created for you out there. We want you to read our posts and comment. I already know my opinions but I want you to know them so read. If not you will be cursed, just joking jajaja. But remember we need your help so our blog can keep on growing and improving. If you don't want to help and you don't like us screw you.

Thanks again and hope you can enjoy this blog as much as we three are.

Best wishes.

Mateo, ATL Staff Member.
