Kevin Marshall's America
Readers of the Times Union blog and first-time visitors:
Hi! My name is Kevin Marshall. I was born, raised, and currently reside in Troy. You know, your neighbor across the river. I’m a stage actor, writer, blogger, and local sex symbol. None of them for a living, per se, but all with the intensity and due diligence of a professional.
Especially the sex symbol part.
When not writing an intriguing blog for the Times Union, Kevin Marshall is a one-man dance crew.
What you’re going to read about is, essentially, what it’s like to be a single male in his late twenties living in the Capital Region. I’ll share my (mis)adventures when it comes to dating, writing, creative pursuits, theater, and socializing. You’ll also get my views on pressing issues of the day, not so pressing issues of the day, the issue of the Times Union that went to press today, and the press’s issues in the modern world.
In other words, I’m the male Kristi except without the popularity and segment on News 10 or Fly 92. Also, I like dogs and I’m a single man with a cat. This puts me at odds with her sensibilities, but I have no doubt that we will become fast friends and have a healthy laugh or two over cups of Earl Grey tea with Steve Barnes, Rob Madeo, and the other TU bloggers.
In addition to this blog, I also have an editorial blog devoted specifically to MMA (the UFC to the layman) called Mixed Marshall Arts (MarshallMMA.com).
I encourage any of you that are on Twitter to follow and holler at me: @KevinMarshall.
I look forward to having great conversations and adventures with you all, and welcome any and all feedback. In the meantime, I put it on you guys to come up with a catch phrase. Suggestions should be made in reply to this post. Let’s see what you got!
Share it!

Congrats on the blog Kevin, looking forward to reading more.
Hi Kevin,
Thanks for continuing your musings with the TU! It helps me keep one leg in the Collar City, and a smile on my face. Cheers to the start of what is hopefully a fruitful endeavor.
Looking forward to reading more
Rock on, my friend.
Looking forward to the world according to KM.
Can’t wait for more, Kevin! :)

I think “Merciful Percival” would make an excellent catch phrase. NOTE: If you get into a “jam” or a “fix,” you could extend this to “Merciful Percival, now I AM in a pickle!”
Yay Kevin! Now we can finally start production on our reality show! Congratulations!
Welcome to the neighborhood, Kevin! I’m looking forward to the karaoke meetups already. (p.s. “Kevin Marshall: That’s What She Said” still has my vote.)
Good for you, Kevin! Looking forward to your thoughts.
Welcome to the TU Lifestyles blog Kevin. It’s a fun little neighborhood around here!
Yay Kevin!
Here are some catch phrases:
“Marshall it up!”
“Marshall it down!”
“Kevin Marshall: Who knew?!?”
“Kevin Marshall: The less popular, male, Kristi”
“Get your Marshall on!”
“Time to get your Marshall on!”
Oh, snap! You’ve finally hit the big time!
Hoorah for Kevin! I will let you borrow my catch phrase: “On the other hand, Sherlock Holmes!”
Keep on keepin’ on, Dr. Marshall.
I hope all this blogging doesn’t interfere with your lieutenant governing and sex symbolism. :)
Congrats can’t wait to read more.
Re #9: Ah, a Kevin Marshall meetup. That’s something I’d actually go to… Welcome!
Please to be Tweeting all the hater comments that violate Hearst’s comment policy. For da laughs.
I was very pleased to come across a big picture of the Great Harbinger of Destruction, K. M. Marshall, while browsing the TU blogs this morning. Hope all is going well and I look forward to reading about being a 20-something sex symbol in Troy, NY; something I am quite familiar with myself.
now i have something interesting to read with my morning coffee!
If you’ve never participated in Kevin Marshall karaoke, you can make requests. Granted, you probably need to do them a week in advance, but my fave is his rendition of “Greatest Love of All.” Don’t make fun of him with that one, it really hits him true to his heart. (I did that with a straight face!)
Kudos, Kevin! Now, maybe I’ll read more. Hell, I need to blog more!
Yay Kevin, my twitter-friend! I look forward to reading you here now too! :-)
No. 18: Me, too.
Congrats!
Wowza! Thanks for all the kind words of encouragement, folks. Look forward to hearing more from you.
I just want to address Leigh’s concern. Leigh, I want it to be known that if anything, my duties as Fmr. Lt. Governor & local sex symbol will interfere with the blog, not the other way around. How will it interfere? By making it more dynamic and fantastic, that’s how.
Am I being liberal with the acceptable use of the term interfere? Maybe. Am I being a bit overconfident? Perhaps. Will I make a habit of posing questions to myself and answering them out loud? Time will tell.
YAY Kevin Marshall!

hi kevin. congrats on your new blog! now i can stop saying “who is this kevin marshall?”
Hey Kevin! Congrat on becoming a blogger for the TU. I look forward to your zany stories and would like to hear more about your Friendster debacles.
You know I kept thinking you looked familiar…now with a little help from Kari I know why! Diamond Eight…right?
Congrats on the Blog…can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
You got it! And thanks!
You’ve always been easy on the eyes and ears. Congrats! Looking forward to reading your blog! Troylets rejoice! May you be long winded and cantankerous!
“May you be long winded and cantankerous” is actually written on my family crest.
“bachelor”….come on!!!!! So is Steve Barnes….lol
Kevin,
I saw your Twitter post about some interest in doing a piece on ‘mantyhose’. Thought I might be able to help you out, as I’m the director of marketing for ActivSkin Legwear for Men. That’s the company in Ohio you were referring to. You can check my blog, The Nylon Gene (www.nylongene.com) to get a good deal of background info on this growing trend. However, if you want to direct specific questions to me, contact me at my email address, which can be found in my Google profile linked to my blog. Basically, it’s steven dot newman at glieberman dot com (not worried about people contacting me–just don’t want to give the spambots anything to latch onto.
Sincerely,
Steve Newman
I just watched a doc on NASA on WMHT. It caught my attention bc the last Space Shuttle launch is going to happen sometime in July. I’m old enough to remember when it was cool to see it piggybacked on some souped up 747. I’ve heard people “talk” about this being the end of the U.S.’ space program that our beloved JFK started when he challenged us to go to the moon and return to the Earth “by the end of this decade!” 60’s
Is this true?!!
Did we finally run out of “Don’t Do Drugs!” $ or is it all the illegal immigrants fault?
Did I actually sleep/drink through the Rapture?
How the hedbltoothpick is Nancy Kerrigan’s brother not at least a LITTLE responsible for his death when he’s over 35, living at his old mans house arguing over the phone (a land one!) and grabbed him around the neck?! Too soon?
The NBA playoffs are too long.
In my opinion, I think we should continue to explore space.
I’d love to hear your thoughts. Maybe in a blog…
