If you’ve stumbled upon this site and don’t know who I am, my name is Brandon Gregory. I’m an INFP/INTP—I’m evenly split between the two. (Yes, I’m split on my dominant function. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, I coded a test here.) I live in the Kansas City area, and I’m currently employed as a web engineer with a few side jobs as a musician. In addition to being a designer and musician, I’m a writer and a huge proponent of the Christian faith and general charity, and I really dig Guitar Hero.

I like ideas. I like thinking them and discussing them and finding out where they come from. I also like helping people—particularly people who really need it. If you want to make me happy, talk to me about ideas or helping people.

If you don’t know what the title of the site means, a lyrist is a lyrical poet, and locution is a common manner of speech of a group of people. Really, I was just going for the alliteration, so admire that if you still don’t get it.

I’m married to a truely lovely and amazing woman named Janelle. She’s the young adult program director at our church, so we’re both really involved with that.

I consider myself a Christian Existentialist, meaning I’m mostly in agreement with Soren Kierkegaard. Other than him, I like C.S. Lewis, J.D. Salinger, Alex Garland, Bryan McLaren, Donald Miller, and the apostle John.

Also a large part of who I am, I was diagnosed with bipolar depression (type II) when I was 21 (although it’s a life-long disorder). It’s meant an interesting experience of life. It’s far too large a topic to go into on this page, but feel free to contact me if you want to hear more about it.

Musically, I mostly play bass and hand percussion (congas, djembe, bongos, etc.), but I also play drums and acoustic guitar, and I can find my way around on a piano. My favorite music artists are Radiohead, Guster, Over the Rhine, The Cure, The Counting Crows, and the Rolling Stones. Music theory was probably my favorite course in college, so I love writing music, although I can’t say I do it as often as I should.

I have two cats: Franny and Zoey (just like the book, although I changed the spelling of Zooey to clarify the preferred pronounciation). Franny’s a Ragdoll /Himalayan mix, and Zoey’s at least part Snowshoe, although I got them both from rescue shelters.
