- My name is Kenny. I was born in Hempstead/ New York City, New York and left there when I ws 6 years old, against my will. I spent the next 14 years growing up and learning about life in Houston/ Alief, Texas. I was then given a choice to stay there, or move to Chicago/ Lake in the Hills, Illinois. I chose to get out of Texas...it was a life goal and it was on my own terms.

- I'm told I'm a funny and likable guy. Easy to talk to...people tend to find themselves really comfortable with me. I don't know where it came from, but it's been like this my entire life, and I have grown to appreciate this quirk about myself. I have a decent sense of humor, but when it comes to me making people laugh, it's basically inside jokes. I feel like I'm too personal to do stand up, and if I did stand up...it'd probably bitter-yet-funny stuff about dating...because it's one of those things everyone can relate to no matter what walk of life they come from.

- I'm pretty laid back most of the time. I like to draw, but I don't do it nearly as much as I should anymore. I can't explain why this is, but I've been struggling to get myself back into the swing of things. I don't feel like this sort of thing should be a struggle. It bothers me. Movie going is something I enjoy doing a lot...in some ways, you could consider it an escape, a chance to view another "world" if you will. I'm into video games, but I know when to put the controller down and leave the house. I always valued the company of people over the company of a controller and console...but there's nothing wrong with combining the two, either! I perfer chillin' with people somewhere like a friends house or a park or something over going to a club or a bar...although I wouldn't rule out either in the case of a musical act. Speaking of which...I haven't been to a show in a good while...

- I lead a sober life. I don't call myself "straight-edge" and it bothers me when people call me that. I don't have some sort of overly dramatic reasoning for being sober...I never lost anyone to anything, it's just that I never saw the point in doing any of those things. I don't see a point in smoking ciggs because they fuck up your lungs, and I kinda like breathing. If you wanna smoke, fine...but I still think it's stupid to do that. I don't drink because I don't see the point in having to get myself "buzzed" or "fucked up" to enjoy my time...I think if you're a fun person, you don't need additives. I don't do drugs because of the after effects...much like smoking...it's just silly to me to knowingly fuck up your body like that...moderation or no. Weed...won't fuck with that either...its more pointless to me than anything else I listed...and I don't give two shits as to wether or not it should be considered a drug, or if it's more or less harmful than ciggs or anything. I just don't care. HOWEVER...I am friends with plenty of people that smoke, toke, drink, have done/do drugs...I used to be anti-everything...but there was a point in my early teenage years that I figured out the world works not in black and white, but various shades of grey. I re-evaluated my beliefs and while I still lead the sober life...I'm WAY more tolerant of others than I used to be. When it comes to a chick I would want to date...I could tolerate SOME smoking ciggs and SOME drinking...but not much else...PREFERABLY, she'd be sober too...but shit...a sober chick worth dating is extremely hard to find.

- Currently, I'm taking a break from pursuing my Associates degree in Art and focusing my efforts towards saving money to move out of my mother and stepfathers house. I've spent the last 2 and a half years working in an auto parts store...but so be it. I've wasted too much time not being independant enough (I pay for my own shit, it's just I don't feel like I should be living with my mom at this age in life when I have no drama making me be here in the first place) and it's time to step it up. I'm achieving my financial goals and ensuring that I spend no time sweatin' the hardships of life.

- I want to get into better shape. I'm not hefty or anything...but I feel like I could be a better person physically. Problem is...standard working out bores me...and I find myself not wanting to do it. However...I always enjoyed bike riding, and fixed up my bicycle and have been riding the fuck out of it while blasting my Zune. I figure if you're gonna exercise, you should friggin' have fun doing it, otherwise whats the point?

- I'm tryin' to work on my drawing skills. I've spent too much time since I moved to Illinois NOT drawing as much as I used to, and I don't really understand why that is. I still study, I still have TONS of ideas...but I need to buckle down and practice practice practice. This will obviously require less distraction...or the company of someone who is really creative as all hell. I MISS this a lot, actually...

- Drawing...specifically, designing characters.
- Listening...over the years, I've become something of a "human diary"...this is both a blessing and a curse.
- Making people feel comfortable with me...you'd think something like this should be in everyone, but apparently it has to be a skill. Thankfully, I'm great at it. I'm also told by those I've cuddled with (good at that too) that I'm warm and comfy. Yay? Yay.
- Driving...because keeping people alive is fuckin' important, god damn it!
- Relating to people...when you know a lot of people, you learn a lot of things...it's true what they say, "Knowledge is power". I chose to use this power to understand people better.

That I draw well, provided I'm doing some drawing in public, that is...

Movie-wise, I'm all over the place...I can enjoy something as common as Spider-Man (who is my favorite super-hero, by the way) to something as obscure as Towelhead. I guess something like this makes me a great person to bring along to movies...actually, I don't guess, I know. It's a proven fact...try it sometime!

Book-wise, I tend to read a lot of graphic novels and photodocumentary books that tend to be about graffiti and Street Culture. No, a lot of my graphic novels have shit to do with super-heroes...not that there's anything WRONG with them, but we gotta shatter stereotypes here!

Musically, I gravitate towards Drum & Bass and House music...sprinkle some Indie House/Nu Disco up in there. Hip Hop and Turntablism. Digital Hardcore... I like Rock, Punk, and Metal...but I perfer that shit live.

Food-wise...I have the annoying trait of being a picky eater...but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm not willing to try new shit...

Six other strangers that, along with myself, are picked strategically for ratings purposes to live in a house somewhere and have our lives taped for an audience that stopped giving a fuck over a decade and a half ago.

Completely random shit, seriously. Makes it hard to go to sleep sometimes.

Depends on the friday...if there's a movie out I wanna see...I'll definitely be at the movie theatre watching it (preferably the AMC 30 in Barrington). Otherwise...I'm either doing random shit with friends, or I'm not doing much of anything at all.

Not so much private, as it is odd...Cell Phones give me severe migranes, dizziness, and nausea that asprin won't fix. The more I use them, the worse it gets. This is why I do not own a Cell Phone. Call my house and get over it.

Oh, and this profile is like...4+ years old...

Oh, and for a while there in my Junior Year of high school, my friend Dorenda and I wore Nintendo Controllers for the fuck of it...people tried to bite our shit, but only we did it right.

...You believe yourself to be an awesome person. Even better if you're a creative, fun, chilled as fuck, awesome chick that is grown up enough to know that playing silly "dating games" is bullshit...you are TOP fuckin' priority.

Thanks for checkin' it out...have a good one.

Oh, Wait...I gotta be an asshole (with good reason) for a moment here.

P.S. It's actually kinda hard to get excited about chicks when they find out they can't handle a guy who is actually nice and has patience. I want you to think about these things before you message me. (provided you have the ovaries to, 'cause "Lawd" knows the internet is a passive aggressive persons best friend and many of you are QUITE unsocial for being on a social profile site such as this one right here...)

- In a past relationship with a guy, did I stay with him for a long period of time (like, half a year and onward) despite the fact that he treated me like crap? Did I find a far nicer guy afterwards and leave him after a drastically shorter amount of time (say, A month or less) for silly reasons?

- Did I meet a guy off of a site like this, or even this site, and ask him questions that were already answered on his profile? When he mentioned it to me, did I tell him something along the lines of not bothering to read his profile because I wanted to have something to talk about?

- Did I meet a guy and become close to him, only to tell him I didn't want to be in a relationship at the time, and then a really short time later (up to 2 weeks, tops), hook up with another guy?

- Did I become scared of losing someone I was dating, and then freak out whenever I felt like I did something wrong when it wasn't even a big deal? Did I run away from non-existant problems, rather than stay around and work out whatever issues I had to find out that everything was actually alright?

- Do I know what to do with myself when things are going well? Do I seriously thrive on drama?

- Do I know how to be single? How much time do I spend being single after a breakup of any kind? Am I afraid of being alone? (If you have friends, you damn well shouldn't be)

If you can answer "yes" to any of these questions...do me a favor and stay the hell away from me. Yes, the things I listed are things that have actually happened to me. They've happened to me often enough to irk the hell out of me whenever they happen to me or anyone I know (male or female). I am a decent guy with a lot of patience (read: a long fuse) who knows how to treat a chick right. Don't mistake my niceness and dislike of disputes for being a doormat and having no backbone. If there's a problem, I'll adress it. If there's no problem, I'm not going to behave like there is one. If I'm not adressing a problem with you, then guess what...you're doing a great job at being a great person...so please don't freak out over that shit...seriously.

...Yeah...I really needed to say this...it needed to be said, ESPECIALLY after the last chick I dated...
