Who’s Rod Matos?

I'm Rodolfo. I'm Brazilian! I was born on November 27th, 1990. I'm 30 years old now. I've already been through some good and bad moments in my life. I'm really thankful for the good moments; I definitely enjoyed them very much. As I said before, I also faced some bad moments that made me stronger than I used to be!

I sometimes complain about everything, but I have learned that nobody is perfect. I used to be very naive, but I admit that I have been growing up day by day. Time is such a great teacher for all of us. I've been trying to appreciate every single day as if it were the last one. I have figured out that we care too much about materialism, and that we hardly ever or never enjoy the precious moments when we are surrounded by family and friends. We just realize the great things we have only when we lose them.

I always say that I'm too young, but time flies and I really want to be wiser, smarter, happier and funnier as well when I get older. Every day is a new opportunity for me to improve something about myself, to make up for the mistakes I made yesterday. I don't feel like making them today. In fact, I want to learn from them.

Everybody has dreams and desires. I believe that they keep us alive by moving us forward. I like to keep my dreams in my heart, because I know that sooner or later, they'll come true. I have stopped thinking about the past, I try to live in the present and I don't worry too much about the future. The past becomes history; the present, you enjoy, the future, the consequences of our past actions, and the choices we make in the present.

We must keep studying whatever we like, because a good life is one inspired by love, and guided by knowledge. I have a piece of advice for you: Don't judge anybody even if you know their history, because life is like a rollercoaster. You may be up today, but it takes seconds for you to come down. Don't say the first thing that comes out of your mind without thinking. It's really hard to gain someone's confidence and you may destroy it in a blink of an eye.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
