JUST A BIT ABOUT MESELF
OH GOD I DONT WANT TO DO AN INTRODUCTION!!!
but i must!!
II MUUUSSTTT!
its okay, i'll buy some sort of pie later on as a reward for my digilence in making this.
Okay, so to start, I'm Kevin.....and I dont know what else to say after that...
well, first thing you should probably know about me is my rather unhealthy obsession with cinema, sort of like those kids hooked onto World of Warcraft except i'll actually take time to eat...and bathe. But yes, I'm striving to become an indie director one day, so im collecting my pennies and hoping whatever i scrounge up will be enough to live off of the decade or so it will take for me to establish myself <<fingers crossed...>>
what else....oh, I'm queer. In every sense of the word <<rraaaiinnnbooowwwww>> im also delightfully insane, but im sure you'll come to realize that quite quickly if you get to know me, but i'm also pretty friendly. My passive aggressive nature usually renders me grumbling and quiet if im pissed off rather than trying to run someone over with a tractor. I can have a pretty chipper personality at times, but I've got a very strong melancholy side which seems to be kicking in more and more as of late. I get lonely quickly, but do poorly in relationships, so im guessing i'll be destined to a life of reclusiveness and a lot of cats.....
<<oh god i hope not...>>
but yah, i like chatting if you're an interesting person with something to say other than some asshole remark, so feel free to send me a message if you have the unlucky fortune of hitting my page.
okay, cool, so im done the intro. now go get a life instead of reading long pointless paragraphs no one will probably read anyway

INFURIATINGLY BAD THINGS
oh god....here begins the list of things that PISS ME RIGHT OFF
<<takes deep breath>> here i go....
*People and their startling propensity for violence, ignorance and blind conformity
*The countless injustices being enacted around the world this very second
*How events such as 9/11, while no doubt horrible and very tragic, are being exploited by governments and the media to justify the brutal killing of thousands more innocent people in other countries
*How major problems in the world, such as genocides in Africa, are completely overlooked by the Western world because they provide no economic incentive, and therefore do not "deserve" any form of aid or intervention.
*Religious fundamentalism and hypocrisy
*Intolerance of different lifestyles
*The general ignorant density of our generation
*Noisy, obnoxious, annoying kids
*Parents who let their noisy, obnoxious, annoying kids do whatever the hell they want
*Racism
*Sexism
*Homophobia/Biphobia
*Ageism....like really, its just a number, ne?
*The relegation of serial killers to celebrity status, when really their crimes are merely exploited for media attention and their mental problems are used as tabloid fodder rather than actually addressed
*Happy-go-lucky people. There is definitely something that concerns me about someone that happy that often....
*The current state of music and movies. I'm actually not mad that a lot of the styles of music i like aren't more popular because then they'd lose what makes them interesting, but the utter lack of any sort of creativity in any medium of entertainment nowadays is really shocking.
*WHEN THE NECKS OF YOUR FAVORITE SHIRTS GET STRETCHED
*The difficult truth that I can not blame anyone for my problems but myself
