We Shall All Be Healed
I usually try to keep my entries here upbeat, so any random passersby don't think I'm a sweater-wearing emo kid (although I did buy my first sweater ever a few days ago, it's pretty sweet), but yesterday someone told me something that just ripped right through me. I don't even think they realized it, but it exposed a part of me that I didn't think anyone would ever notice.
It's one of those things you don't even like to think about yourself.
Current song is Tom Waits "Misery is the River"
I've been listening to this guy a lot lately -- he's so incredibly scary, I love it.
The higher that the monkey can climb
the more he shows his tail
Call no man happy 'til he dies
There's no milk at the bottom of the pail
God builds a church
The devil builds a chapel
Like the thistles that are growing
'round the trunk of a tree
All the good in the world
You can put inside a thimble
And still have room for you and me
If there's one thing you can say
About Mankind
There's nothing kind about man
You can drive out nature with a pitch fork
But it always comes roaring back again
Misery's the River of the World

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.
