About Me

CHRISTIAN KRIEG wrote, produced and self distributed 4 albums in 2007:
Wayward Pilgrims
A Commoner's Guide to Warfare
Songs from the Low Road: Volume I
Songs from the Low Road: Volume II
1. 2.
3. 4.
Also, in 2007, he had back surgery, almost died from carbon monoxide inhalation and spent most days droning as an amiable yet disenfranchised employee for corporate America.
Christian Krieg has two sons, a wife and a mentally defective dog named Oblio. What little sleep Mr. Krieg gets is usually marred with nightmares of winged monkies and dwarves.
He is an Anti-theist. The result of much religious deliberation over the course of a short lifetime. He finds it impossible to believe that any human has ever truly known the mind or intentions of any proposed creator. His religion is to do-well by others. It's a simple but effective method of rejoicing the astronomical unlikelyhood of consciousness.
This is his first excursion in writing about himself in the third person.
Please say hello, all people interest Mr Krieg
