Official: No More Myspace

Just a minute ago was kind of a big moment. I started the cancellation process of my myspace account. Let's see if anyone even notices.

Likely there will be idiots replying to the final myspace bulletin I sent stating, in fact that I was canceling my account only to get some kind of "account no longer exists" reply.

so take a look, this is the last time you'll see this.

Back in 2004 I only created an account to check all of the comments that were being left on my band Fingertight's fan page. A page set up, ironically not by me. It was started by our good friend and roadie, derek. Who's AOL email address I eventually had to remember just to sign into it. I've forgotten it now.

So there I was with this Myspace account. I'd never even heard of Myspace. I along with my other band members were now in the top 8 friends of Fingertight and suddenly friend requests started to roll in. I started to get the hang of Myspace and all of the new found internet fame from being a member of Fingertight.

Sometime in 2005, around the same time my band split up, I discovered the Myspace blog section and started to share my rants and nonsensical opinions about stuff. A year later I'd developed a minimal following but unfortunately, so had Myspace. Inundated by spam from Myspace whores and porno sites I decided to get the hell off of Myspace for blogging purposes. I discovered Blogger and set up Kirks Sloppy Mind Noggins.

...The rest is history.

RIP myspace.com/thekirkness 2004-2010
it will be up for a bit in the next 48 hours so if you want to check it out one last time now's your chance.

Scrap Dawgs

I'm proud to announce that my newest font Ghetto Marquee has been chosen as Font of the Week at ScrapDawgs.com


Jealous much?

Gottapixel.com
yet another sCRAPbooking site picked Ghetto Marquee to be the subject of a friendly font digital scrapbooking challenge. Fuck I hate scrapbooking. I never realized this font's scrapping potential I guess.


GM also got a nod in karachicorner.com's 80+ High-Quality Latest Free Fonts For Your Designs list. Thankfully NOT a scrapbook site.

I Wish people would let me know about news like this, I had to find it by accident on Google.

I also found, just like my other popular fonts, this one is on just about every other fly-by-night free font site. Without my say-so of course. GM is at 192,131 on dafont.com, who knows how many from elsewhere.

I need a legal department.

what the fuck

Hey, yea I know I suck at blogging. Seriously I blame Facebook.

Anyway, there's this house next to mine that's been vacant since we moved here. It should be condemned but that's another story. For a year and a half there's always random trash and shit left in front of it or in the unfenced-in back yard. One item in particular seems to be a reoccurring theme. Baby fucking strollers.


Why? some of them seem like they are in good shape too. What is it about people needing to dump perfectly good baby strollers and more specifically why in front of the shitty house next door? It's just so odd that such a specific item like that would keep being dumped here.

I mean, are they that hard to get rid of? I always just assumed you passed shit onto your pregnant friends and family. Or are people so paranoid about baby shit that they only want new strollers. Will Goodwill not take baby strollers? Do they think if they just leave it out there some young expecting family is gonna walk by be like "SCORE! a baby stroller!"

Whatever it is, I'll never know. It's just fucking weird.

theme review?


say it aint so. I just found out that some dude on some Blackberry blog got a hold of one of my new themes and gave it a little review. I wouldnt say he hated it, but he did make sure to highlight it's stronger points.

I'm not dead.

My lack of posting may seem like I am tho. Fucking Facebook,.

I watched the Blindside. meh, I want Sandra Bullock to play a villain in a movie one time. She's always so nice.

I also watched Inglorious Basterds. It only took fucking 6 months to get it from Netflix even tho it's been #1 on my queue since before it came out. It was not as goofy as I expected it to be. It wasnt bad but not worth the hype.

here's some pics.
$100 obo. works needs a little cleaning.

there's some crazy water ski/board/speed boat race thing happening at the marina.


some genius thought it would be convenient to have the returns AND check cashing all in the same line. I waited in an out-the-door line to return something. I was the only one in line returning stuff. retarded.

Coming in Hot

It's been a long time since my 15 minutes of font fame ended after Pee Pants Script blew up. Now my latest font "Ghetto Marquee" is currently #2 on dafont.com.

Yesterday it had 7,016 downloads, and 38,699 total since it debuted April 1st.

Already had several emails asking about commercial use. hopefully I'll get some scrilla for this one.

check it out, download it, or send me money here:
