"I had spent so much of my time growing up being afraid of being either too cool or too uncool. Fear eventually took over and became my default emotion. If I tried to be cool, I was afraid of disappointing my teachers and parents. If I stuck with the nerd kids, I had a nagging fear that I was missing out on something. I learned to become exactly what whomever I was with at the time expected me to be. Mostly I was afraid that if I didn't become what they wanted, then they would realize what I really was. A fey little faggoty kid hiding out in a small Wisconsin town. It was an exhausting dance." ~Josh Kilmer-Purcell
I'm the youngest of 5 kids, i'm ...the baby and yes it's been confirmed, i was a mistake(haha). I'm now the proud uncle to 3 beautiful children;Dante,Ava, and Anthony. I couldn't be any prouder, it's an amazing thing to see a new generation of my family beginning to grow, making me the end of an era so to speak.
I grew up in this tiny village called Heuvelton just south of Canada, which is very small and where "everyone" knows your name. It's also located in one of the most beautiful settings you'll ever find in NY. After I left the farm country, I headed down here to Syracuse, the big metropolis that it is(haha) here i currently go to school at SUNY ESF located up on the "hill" overlooking the City of Syracuse and the most polluted lake in the nation. Oh yeah...i'm studying Landscape Architecture, and No I will not be planting flowers, so don't even bother asking. I will however be traveling to Vienna, Austria for 3 months next fall to study cemeteries. I really want to go into Historical Preservation/Restoration when I get out of here. I'm also thinking about getting a masters degree in Interior Design, but probably not. Anywho, I live with my first friend ever here at college, Sarah Seib and her brother Tim.
