Your average twenty-something college kid with a dash of charm and a pinch of wit: Allan Kneale.
I spend my days as a design student at KSU and working as a graphic designer for Kent State.
“Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.â€
It's never quite right, he said, the way people look,
the way the music sounds, the way the words are
written.
It's never quite right, he said, all the things we are
taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we
die, all the lives we live,
they are never quite right,
they are hardly close to right,
these lives we live
one after the other,
piled there as history,
the waste of the species,
the crushing of the light and the way,
it's not quite right,
it's hardly right at all
he said.don't I know it? I
answered.I walked away from the mirror.
it was morning, it was afternoon, it was
nightnothing changed
it was locked in place.
something flashed, something broke, something
remained.I walked down the stairway and
into it.
