You say you're the black sheep. I say you're still family.

About Me

My name is Kenneth Allen Coble, but most people call me Kenny. It's hard work, but some people can pull off calling me Kenneth. I like those people.

Save the world a little bit:
These are some great organizations helping poor people around the world with doable ways to get involved, even if you're like me and only have five dollars to your name.


My Interests



I like good people, books, writing, comic books, drawing, mocking stereotypes, singing, hopeful cynicism, hiking, music, self-awareness, Jewish people, honesty, beauty, laughing, sitting in the front row at Wicked, New York City, Portland, Seattle, the entirety of Canada, love, and spirituality.

Podcasts I really like these podcasts. My life is changed, basically, every single time I listen to them.

I'd like to meet:

The Hobbit on Lost, so I can find out how he got new highlights while trapped on a freaky desert island.

Nice music:
Derek Webb's new album comes out on my birthday, May 1st, and it is an amazing little rock record. I pre-ordered it and I love it. You can listen to the whole record by clicking the banner below. Go get it. You'll love it.
