Listening to music, playing music, watching and reading about baseball, acting (though it hasn't happened in years), working in radio, writing, watching movies, reading books, getting to know people, eating food, talking to people I already know, driving too fast, learning about brains, making you love me, and leaning like a cholo.

About me:
I'm Kevin. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, Kev, or uh, Kevtron, or Kevtron5000 if you're not into the whole brevity thing.
I know more than anyone should about music and baseball, and I'm quite sure you know know too much about something, too. But I bowl better than you. I'm also a rocker. I rock out in The Norway Agenda. Check that shit out.
I'm an optimist, but I try to temper that optimism with a healthy respect for reality. I'm a hopeless romantic, and I wear my heart on my sleeve, which means it takes its share of abuse. It cracks every once in a while, but it seems to heal well enough. I forgive easily, maybe too easily, and I will always give someone another chance to be cool.
I might have been born yesterday, but I stayed up all night.
Who I'd like to meet: People who obey the Golden Rule.
Musicians, writers...anybody who has anything to do with music, or anyone who wants to have anything to do with music. Artists of any sort, philosophers, people who challenge my egotistical sense of intellectual superiority.
