My life in a nutshell...

A lot has happened since my last post...what was it three months ago. Let's see...finished school, I am now the Cultural Co-Chair for the biggest student organization at USF - KASAMAHAN!!!!, I continue to dance more, I am single now (my choice), loving theCOMPANY, we placed second at BODY ROCK, I am going to LIFE Camp this summer woohoo!!!, and I am now a teacher at WSPA.

First of all (Kasamahan) - I expect the coming year to be a hectic one. I am seeing a lot of time management and lost sleep time. I have high expectations for myself. I want to produce one of the best Barrio's that USF has seen in the past years. I want USF Kasamahan to be the family that I know we can be. Drop the bullshit, get together, and become one.

Second of all (Hip Hop) -- As I continue to grow as a dancer, I continue to set goals for myself (thanks Mallari). My goals for this coming year will be to 1) Become a great and beloved teacher. 2) Become a recognized choreographer by my peers and hopefully have a project, and maybe a piece debut in competition. 3) Become a better dancer and support for theCOMPANY.

To be honest with you there's shit that annoys me so much about some of the people in theCOMPANY that I let it build up inside and that I don't express. But I'll tell you my lovely followers here of shit that I've went through. Not everything is as it seems when you see us perform, and I'll be the first to say it that not everyone likes each other but when it comes down to it we get down with the get down and do work. I want to say to myself that I have a friend in everyone in theCOMPANY, but to put my trust and friendship into these people is another story. There are the true friends that I have that know how to keep me ground, that tell it like it is and don't annoy the hell out of me. But this year is different, I want to be able to go to anyone for anything but to tell you the truth that ain't gonna happen. There are people who are quick to talk down to people but me especially. I feel as though I am an easy target and they prolly don't think that "Oh, It's Matthew he won't care" and shit but like when I get it from the same people it hurts. Why me? Anyone else but me, that's what I ask myself but it never happens. I want to say that life in theCOMPANY from the get go has been great, but it hasn't. I miss company's very first year that's where I felt most at home, where I felt that this is my family. Slowly it has changed as people try to step up they step on each other's toes. Like for real though some people just annoy the shit out of me for a couple of reasons, the main reasons are for hypocrisy that they get all butt hurt when someone picks on them or does shit to them, but the first chance they get they do the same thing. There were times in company where I just wanted to give up. Being filler for this and being filler for that. But as I start to get better I see that hard work pays off. I am hopeful that things in company will start to get better but I doubt it, I'm still gonna find people annoying and I'm still gonna be there for the same people who have supported me from the get go.

Third of all (LIFE in general) --- Life has been good to me. As my dancing career begins to pick up I wanted to say that I could commit the same love that I had for dance into a relationship. And it was hard but it was something that I felt like I had to do. Dance has become the biggest priority in my life as I strive to reach my goal: In two years or right after I graduate I am trying out for So You Think You Can Dance and make it. There are other things that I want to do, ultimately I want to be helping the most people I can at the same time and that is through art, dance, and food, and music. My ten year plan:

1_ Be a big ass exec for the San Francisco Giants
2_ Open my own restaurant
3_ Support the dance studio that I grew up in and fund it (meaning build a state-of-the-art facility with brand new studios and such, funding scholarship dancers to those who show promise and show financial need)
4_ Be happy and content with a dog lol

FINALLY...this is my life in a nutshell, I want to blog more hopefully I'll have more followers, I want to get to writing again, and just writing my thoughts out here....I will tell you I did have a third world experience in San Diego with a water main breaking, I also had the best time just chillin and relaxing, in the end I love my fam

PEACE, LOVE, and GOD!!!!
