Good question and I'm going to be honest with you from the get-go. The main reason this blog was created was for me to have a place to reference my writing, and have a venue to express opinions of my own accord; commentary about anything and everything. I can't really say I'm an expert on one subject, but the best way to describe my background is knowing a little about about a variety. My plan is to provide an interesting perspective about some issues, events, general subject matter, etc, and see where it goes from there. Other than that, I'm not completely sure what that is going to entail for future posts but I hope that they will provide my readers looking for an domain to pass the time during the more boring parts of the day.
As for my personal life, I spent the majority of it as a student-athlete and employee of some of the most random places one can work. My resume is littered with contingent accolades and qualifications that are so dissociated with one another I must look like I give the most indecisive people a run for their money. Truthfully, I attribute my working background to school and sport taking precedence in my life. However when it comes to the real world, I have learned the hard way that unless you have a doctorate or you are the next up and coming superstar, that those priorities you poured your heart and soul into for years -for lack of a better term- mean jack shit. Don't get me wrong I understand that an education is very important and there are invaluable lessons one can attain from the sporting world but in the end, as we live in a monetary society, your value is based on how much money you can make the guy who has already gone through the same tough times you are struggling with.
Which brings us full circle and back to the beginning. Commentary for the sake of commentary and an outlet to display what I hope is a writing style slightly askew of the disarray of millions of blogs scattered throughout the web. Because in the end that is what it's all about: who you are, why you're different and why that matters.
Signing off from his first official blog entry ever,

Matias, I'm guessing your blog will be my new bedtime reading. Obviously, those informative Charles Best years have done you well (who knew?). I'm also thrilled to read proper Queen's English instead of the texting style which is, in my opinion, reeking havoc on society and producing a generation of illiterates. We have this amazing technology which allows us to communicate worldwide in an instant and it is being wasted and corrupted and the art of discussion is quickly evaporating. I'm impressed at your willingness to "discuss" which flies in the face of the "my way or the highway" mentality which is so prevalent today. We always need discussion. That's how we learn, that's how we grow. I'm looking forward to it, my friend.
