Paparazzi Pond Scum

“When I grow up, I want to chase train-wreck celebutards around town to the nail salon, competing with 20 other camera-toting douchebags taking the same shots, hoping mine will sell for 150 bucks to TMZ.com”

My Name Is Kirk…

… and I’m an Agnostic.
1. a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as God, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.
(I would lean towards the latter in that definition, adding: “…limited to experience and proven scientific fact rather than fear-based [...]
