HOLY SHIT!

These past nearly FIVE YEARS have been a learning experience for sure. In the end, I found IDQT calling me back. It said, "You have more bullshit to talk about and ramble on for paragraphs for. Come back!" (this is all said with kind of Chris Hemsworth tone but a little more ethereal. Think Galadriel meets Thor.)

Say Anything…

Hey Gang, It has been an insanely long amount of time since I posted. A lot has happened in my personal life and professional. I graduated, you may now officially call me Master Chris, and I got a job. Here is the thing that I have learned in a relatively short amount of time. Lesson:...

The Inoculation

Look yourself up in the dictionary. Define yourself and delete it. You are no longer what you were; you are the absence of what you were.

It’s Kind of a Love Story

Hey Gang!I have had weight issues most of my life. I call them issues because it is not really a problem in the sense that an issue is easier to fix than a problem. You solve a problem but you address an issue. I guess this is the culmination of my address. The one to...

My brother and I were just meandering around, as we always do. We went through the fiction section and discussed Hemingway. We walked by a display...

One more thing

Hey gang! This is a short one but I actually just found out that I got in to the master's program I applied for and will be a ga! I only say this because I was deliriously happy and also because you all were there with me through all of the ups and downs these...

IDQT Gets Happy: A Long Blog About A Longer Journey

Hey Gang! Long time no see! I am sitting here wondering how to write this as my freshly baked blueberry muffins cool and their sweet perfume permeates the air. I could start at the beginning but I think I will begin at the end. This morning. I decided to go to church today. Something inside...
