TEENAGE ME

KMM goes to his parents house and reconnects with his awkward teenage self.
By Kevin Michael Murphy(Actor-Voice Teacher)

So I went home to Long Island on Wednesday to visit my nephew, and spent some time digging through my old things.  Turns out I wasn't very cool.

Exhibit A:

Here's a VHS-mini of my star turn as Tommy Albright in Valley Stream Central High School's production of "Brigadoon."  Also included in the tape collection were a bunch of movies my friends and I made.  We were obsessed with making horror movies.  Our biggest hits were "SKREAM"(yes, Scream with a K) and a murder mystery that centered around missing cans of tomato puree.  

Exhibit B:

I was obsessed with all things "Forrest Gump."  I watched the movie about 75 times.  I played the Feather Theme on the piano daily.  My college essay for NYU was centered around the quote: "You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes.  Where they're goin, where they've been..."  I talked about how I wore bowling shoes to school.  I somehow got accepted.

Exhibit C:

 I was/am a Trekkie.  There are 3 Star Trek posters on my bedroom wall.  I used to make models of various class of the USS Enterprise.  I would read "The Star Trek Encyclopedia" for fun.  I once dressed as a Bajoran for Halloween.  

Exhibit D:

I own a Joan Osborne CD.  I collected Broadway CD Samplers.  And yes, that's a tape of the score to "Soapdish."

Exhibit E:

Yes, folks.  That's a first place trophy...for bowling.  I was on a Police Activity League bowling team for 5 years.  We were pretty good.

Exhibit F:


 I slept with a humidifier.  People called it my "nerd machine." 

What's the nerdiest thing I did of all?

I used to be a huge Oasis fan.

I love this plugin. Thank you.Since my seervr upgraded to php5 it's been producing a curious error:Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/imperial/public_html/sunshine/wp-content/plugins/rc-custom-comment-text.php on line 113Bummin'
