Born into confusion, frustration, and resentment, I was culturally acclimated in Chicago, IL and grew up some more in Portland, OR — where I live, to this day! ;)

I've been in The Miscreant, Section 8 Magazine, and FIVE:2:ONE Magazine, tore Donald Trump and Glenn Beck new assholes, and had a self-published book featured in the Kirkus Reviews Sept. 1 2017 issue and another in the April 15, 2020 issue.

More coming soon!

Mr. Schmertz died on me.

He said he'd never seen anyone like me in twenty years of teaching. He said, on one of my papers, "Chris, you go from strength to strength." He had only a year left to go so it was awkward for me.

He tried to rope me into a writing tutorial, when Craig COLBERT wanted to do one, but I just couldn't do it. I need to do work and go home. It interferes with my classes.

“Some automatic responses are good — they're skills, and we need them for life and labor. But the tendency to accumulate programming tends to have a life of its own — or more accurately, to steal the life that belongs to us.”

“The intellectual or logical man, rather than the understanding or observant man, set himself to imagine designs — to dictate purposes to God.”
