We Shall All Be Healed
My morning after I got home from school consisted of about one hour of work on my research paper for Criminal Justice, then I just said "screw it," and played drums, and had lunch. This is a typical Monday for me, mind you. When you get home at 10:20, there's only so much "real" work you can do. So after lunch, I'm all "I don't want to do homework," and I remember about the mail I keep waiting for.
Scurrying out the door in my socks, barely noticing the patches of wet cement, I open the mailbox and see a rather large envelope from Suffolk University. I emit an uncanny "ooooh!" and open it, only to see that I got in. bam! It was after I grabbed the other mail and brought it inside that I realized I also got mail from Curry College (7 miles south of boston, suffolk is IN boston) and lo and behold, I got in there too. I am so happy.
However, I'm torn between where I want to go. In April, I'll most likely visit both Buffalo and Boston (all three campuses) to figure out where I want to go exactly. SUNY-Buffalo has the upper hand because of money issues (SUNY offered me free room for 2 years, $7000 savings) but Boston's such a cool city. And to top it off, I already have a few friends going to Boston (I know I shouldn't try to hang onto high school buddies), but the worst is that no matter where I end up going, I'll probably be away from Heather. And that sucks, no matter how you spin it. College seems to be a mixed blessing. The good part: brand new experiences away from home. The bad part: no Heather.
UMBC hasn't taken me off their wait list yet either, but fuck them. I'm going out of state, baby.

I'm Kevin. I attend
Buffalo State College in The Empire State. I'm your normal teenager who's secure enough in his masculinity to do things some people may find a little
odd. My turn-ons include long walks on the beach, poetry, and percussion.
I enjoy the music stylings of (but NEVER limited to) Morrissey, Coheed and Cambria, The Marleys (bob to ziggy), The Heptones, The Toasters, Pietasters, Queen, Luciano, Junior Murvin, NOFX, Mountain Goats, Rufus Wainwright, Death by Stereo, Passion Worship Band, Switchfoot, Five Iron Frenzy, The Darkness, CSNY, Virginia Coalition, Alexisonfire, Hopesfall, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, MF Doom, RJD2, Kool Keith, Aesop Rock, DJ Shadow, King Geedorah, Why?, Bright Eyes, Wilco, Tom Waits, Talib Kweli, Neva Dinova, Beastie Boys, and even Jay-Z.
I enjoy reading The Bible, Dan Brown, CS Lewis, John Steinbeck (favorite author), Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and Eugene Peterson.
I'm an avid poet (not so much anymore) and reader of poetry. My favorite poets are Stanley Kunitz, Alan Ginsberg, Tuli Kupferberg, Bret Hubinger (AACC Professor!), Walt Whitman, and Edward Thomas.
