About Me

Hey, I like to play chords on the acoustic guitar. I also like to playfully wrestle with the guitar and run with it through meadows. My name is the "band name" minus the 'the' That comes not out of thinking that I am the only Kirk that matters, but because "The Kirk" was on a sign outside my window a while ago. Obviously, there are many other Kirks much more deserving of praise that I. The primary one being Kirk McLean, former goalie for the Vancouver Canucks. I think that it's well known he was the best goalie to ever grace the ice. What little kid doesn't think, "I want to be the next Kirk McLean?" exactly.

a bow

Social unease .1

If, by some chance, I say something that makes a group of people laugh, I don't know what to do. I can't laugh, because it might be seen as conceited to laugh at something I said myself. I find it awk...
