About Me


First off, how to find me elsewhere on the interwebs.

Hi. My name is Chris and I'm a writer. For money, I work in a high school and make pizzas on the weekends. I work at Shawnee Mission West High School, where I'm a paraprofessional, which means I work with special needs kids in the Special Education department. On the weekends, I woke for Godfather's Pizza.
But mainly, I'm a writer.
I'm into hot coco by the fire, long walks on the beach, nihilism. I have a lot of interests, actually. There's a bunch of crap here that might help to define me. I have come to realize that this space is so much more me than anything else I have. I wish I could make my apartment reflect me as clearly as this page. No, actually, I wish I could make me reflect the real me as clearly as this. Does that make sense? Oh well. Read my blogs, watch the videos, add me as a friend.
Call me!
You won't call.

I have found myself, by the light of that accusing sun, alone, tempted and completely addicted to MySpace. Damn you, Tom!

The real-ish reason I started this myspace was because I needed a place to write. Art, like trees, means nothing if it falls over in a forest and no one is around to hear it. So I publish here. Please feel free to read or not read. PLEASE READ!

There's this book called Letters from a Nut . The author writes crazy letters to people. Like he writes the Baseball Hall of Fame and asks if they will accept a bag of Mickey Mantle toenail clippings, even if he is a level four bed-wetter. You have to read the book to really get it. Trust me, its funny. Anyway, I've done the same thing, except my letters aren't as funny. So if you aren't going to read the book, I guess you could read mine instead. I guess.

I started this little "series" a while ago for a lot of reasons, but mainly just as an exercise in self-loathing and bemused nostalgia. Whatever that means. Anyway, I wanted to have them all in one place for easy access.

Here's a bunch of videos and pictures that I mostly stole from other people in order to express my individuality. I put them here because I don't know how to express who I am, and these things allow me to be lazy about it. I'm not kidding or being ironic. I'm serious. This is what people do, right?
