Kevin Matthew Smith Jr.

Geek. A noun subjugated to the realm of insults pertaining to smart guys and smart girls who play video games, share a complex yet random sense of humour, and who struggle in the realm of social acceptability.

But for some odd reason, I choose to call myself this derogatory term. And it is a good, odd reason I choose to do so.

Much like Randall in Clerks 2, �I�m taking it back.� Stigma aside, Geeks persist as the innovators of science and culture. We have the best three A.M. philosophical conversations, play the best poker, and (with a little luck) live out the most fulfilling lives.

My name is Kevin Matthew Smith Junior and I am a Geek. I play countless hours of Halo 2, watch countless reruns of Start Trek: TNG and Law and Order: CI, and listen to countless loops of Barenaked Ladies, Weezer, and CAKE. I aspire to teach History at a High School and eventually College level. I work in a movie theater and I actually can safely say that I love my s**t-paying summer job. I attend Boston University and missed keeping a scholarship by .06. I write poetry and stories about my drunken adventures, humbling moments, and the girls that I�ll never so much as talk to.

I sing along with Paris Hilton while cleaning theaters; I say the most mind bogglingly stupid things for a chuckle here and there; I appreciate talent; I loathe apathy; I portrayed Ben Franklin in a 5th grade play; I can beat The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time in less than twelve hours without dying; I love my family, I attend BNL concerts for sustenance; I slept underneath the Green Monster, and I shifted from being a Bush Republican to a fringe Liberal.
