About Me

I have a master's degree in Creative Writing from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University in Boulder, CO. My undergraduate degree is in communications from The Evergreen State College in Olympia, WA. Professionally, I've been a journalist, writer, graphic designer, and an after-school teacher. In addition to a variety of gigs in those fields, I was formerly the news director for a community radio station in Olympia, WA. I'm also an avid baseball fan and know way too much about classic rock. I've also been a computer geek since I was eight and am happy to be helping out at AboutUs.org. As a writer I have been published in numerous journals across the US (none of which you're heard of), and was one of the co-publishers of the now defunct Ellipsis... Literary Serials and Narrative Culture, a monthly literary magazine highlighting the long lost tradition of the "Literary Serial." Although in earlier years it varied, for the last couple of years I've been publishing nearly exclusively under my full name, "Takashi L. Kendrick". If you have any questions, feel free to ask, if I can't answer them, I'll try to find someone who can! If you don't want to leave a message here, you can always Send a private email

Motivations

"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies — 'God damn it, you've got to be kind.' " -- Kurt Vonnegut, God Bless You Mr. Rosewater. "My hope still is to leave the world a bit better than when I got here." -- Jim Henson "...But for me, it's always been this model of, if you get the right elements going there and people who are clear about that good energy, there's definitely stuff that you can make happen that turns out good, and everybody feels good about it." -- Jerry Garcia "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.'" -- The Beatles, The End
