...And boom goes the dynamite!

About Me

Alright, so I figured it's time I update this again. I'm Kevin, and I'm a freshman at Rutgers. I guess I should start by letting you know I more a ridiculous amount about sports, specifically the Tampa Bay Devil Rays(yes, a Rays fan in NJ) and the Dallas Cowboys. My (newish) career ambition is to either be a beat writer for the Rays or a writer for BaseballAmerica, since I also know a lot about prospects.If I'm not doing something sports-related, I'm probably either eating, sleeping, or just hanging out. I'm also a pretty big poker player.Anyway, the only other thing you need to know about me is that I use sarcasm a lot, probably too much. My AIM screen name is Imperialism32 if you'd ever care to IM me.

My Interests

Sports, Poker, Madden, Writing, Reading, Music

"And I said, 'No... But that's a real nice ski mask!'"

I haven't done this in a while because I haven't had much to say, and that really hasn't changed. Today was pretty awesome, and the Devil Rays come back against the Yankees actually isn't the reason w...

Also bored

There's a piece of writing I really like... It's an excerpt from Freelanncer's Kevin Justis story he wrote on GameFAQs a while back. I'm not going to post it here, but the basic idea is that Justis is...

Powervibe is an awesome band

For a really long time, I had loved this band "Isle of Q." Unfortunately, they only released one album, although it kicked much ass. Tonight, I was doing some research, and found that the band Powerv...

R.I.P. Mitch Hedberg

Mitch Hedberg, one of my favorite comedians, died recently of a heart-related problem. I really don't know what to say. He was one of the funniest guys I've ever heard, if not the funniest. I can'...
