Let’s see, what can I say about myself? Well first and foremost; my name is Kevin and before I delve any deeper into this drawn out rant of self indulgence, I would like to go ahead and let it be known that I am a very out spoken and opinionated person. I have plenty of strong, personal, views on various topics ranging from music to religion to politics and all over the place, and I’m not afraid to speak my mind or offend others. So if you’re the type that has their feelings hurt easily, then I would probably not recommend you add me or even talk to me. So, with that out of the way.. I’m a pretty cynical and pessimistic person (in this day and age I can’t see how one couldn’t be) I’m the type that prefers to sit alone in their dark room listening to music rather than socializing with the outside world. Let’s put it like this; I value solitude. Now I can only imagine the picture you’ve painted of me in your mind, but I’m really not that horrible of a person. I’m actually quite friendly and I love to talk and hang out and what-not so don’t be too afraid to speak to me :) Music is probably my greatest passion in life, and the only thing I really have going for me. I am a guitarist and I play LEAD and RHYTHM guitar in the Floridian Power Metal band; SEVEN KINGDOMS . I have played all over Florida and have had the privilege and honor to share the stage with many, many great bands and I plan to go far as a musician. I love Power Metal, it is pretty much the only sub-genre of Metal that I consider to be “true” and (with a few exceptions) pretty much the only sub-genre of Metal that I listen to. Call me shallow or close minded if you will, it doesn’t bother me in the least.. Other than music I love almost anything that has to do with fantasy, high fantasy, light fantasy, dark fantasy, horror, surrealism, the absurd, avant-garde, the macabre, and so on and so fourth. That could be referring to literature, movies, T.V., music, etc. etc. Alright, you get it.. So I guess if there’s anything else you would like to know, then just contact me..

A few of my favorite quotes;
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age." - H.P. Lovecraft
"But as, in ethics, evil is a consequence of good, so, in fact, out of joy is sorrow born. Either the memory of past bliss is the anguish of to-day, or the agonies which are have their origin in the ecstasies which might have been." - Edgar Allan Poe
"It is through art, and through art only, that we can realize our perfection; through art and art only that we can shield ourselves from the sordid perils of actual existence." - Oscar Wilde
"Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist." - Epicurus
