We Shall All Be Healed
Writing this on notepad during my American History class — which is pretty freakin’ boring. The guy who teaches it is fine, he’s just really repetitive with what he says, and a lot of the information I already know/remember from AP US History more than 3 years ago.
My exam for the class is next week, and it more or less consists of me writing 3 essays on 5 questions – we got 11 questions on a sheet, where 5 of em will appear on the exam. Shouldn’t be a problem, but I will have to review.
This week has been a rather monotonous one — nothing exciting, no real swings in poker, and no trips to the casino in about a week. Gah. Luckily, my father is coming up this Friday, to do some catching up/gambling/drinking with his favorite/only son. I’ll finally get a chance to get a good look at the Falls, too.
The following week, I’m seeing the Mountain Goats! Wahoo! Quite possibly my favorite singer-songwriter of all time, John Darnielle, and I get to see him live. He’ll most likely play songs primarily from his 4AD albums, and not from some of the brilliant songs from earlier releases, but I really couldn’t care less. Any chance to see him live is good enough for me.
I continue anagram-ing people’s names. For a recently certified DJ, Gregory Goodson, I came up with “Ge Ron, soggy door?” Bwahaha.
I’m feeling rather content right now, albeit a slight headache. It’s a feeling that has escaped me over the last two weeks for the most part, so it's nice to be just relaxing.
I'm swimmin' in a sea of faces
I'm tryin' to flow my way to you
But it's no use
In a crowded room where everybody wants you

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, cigars, and hair.
I enjoy the music stylings of (but NEVER limited to) Morrissey, Coheed and Cambria, The Marleys (bob to ziggy), Further Seems Forever, The Toasters, Chin Up Chin Up, Pietasters, Queen, Luciano, Junior Murvin, Dillinger Four, Mountain Goats, Rufus Wainwright, Death by Stereo, The Court & Spark, Sentridoh, Killswitch Engage, Dog Fashion Disco, John Mayer, M83, Iron and Wine, Our Lady Peace, Aesop Rock, El-P, Five Iron Frenzy, The Darkness, CSNY, Virginia Coalition, Alexisonfire, Hopesfall, Buju Banton, Bounty Killer, MF Doom, RJD2, Kool Keith, DJ Shadow, King Geedorah, Why?, Bright Eyes, Wilco, Sufjan Stevens, Tom Waits, Talib Kweli, Neva Dinova, Isis, 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.
