about abbot christof
Christoffer aimed for the Renaissance, trying to carry every skill known to man. Alas, he had no Swiss heritage, so multifunctionality proved too much to wield, and various meager abilities were gradually quit. In no particular order, he pared off:
- Engineering
- Medicine
- Pedagogy
- Youth Ministry
- Astronaut
- Culinary Arts
- Indigence
Some of these never even started a launch sequence, while others were aborted just prior to liftoff. Some still try to fly.
After these time-lapse prunings, Christoffer simply tries to write. He does not, however, try to write simply, because life is not so shallow. Instead, he mixes basic and frivolous words to create a complex entrée, served with a healthy side of sarcasm, often on a plate of metaphor.
Preferred topics range from religion to recipes, athletics to art (one and the same?), and whatever can elicit a smile or a thought, preferably both at once. He is expert at nothing but considerate of everything.
Formats are beyond his current grasp, though he enjoys devotionals, short stories, absurd essays, and textual/visual experiences.
He only occasionally communicates in the third person.
