About

I’m a writer who hates to read.  

A creator who hates shopping.  

A human who’s tired of the same recycled lies you hear every day.


You know the ones —  

“Get rich overnight.”  

“Just copy my prompts.”  

“AI will do all the work for you.”  

“Passive income is easy.”  


Yeah… no.


I built I Hate Shopping because I’m done watching people get sold dreams by gurus who never tell the truth. They promise shortcuts, scripts, and magic formulas — and when those formulas fail, people blame the AI instead of the person who fed them the fantasy.


This brand is the opposite of that.


I use AI every day — not as a replacement for effort, but as a collaborator.  

A tool.  

A partner.  

A multiplier.  


That’s where MERGE and KRIMPS come from.  

MERGE is the full story — the human experience, the long form, the real thing.  

KRIMPS is the short form — the distilled version, sharpened with AI, built for people who don’t have time to read a novel just to feel something.

MERGE & KRIMPS have two Authors. I write most of them, my wife may occasionally write one.  Each is signed by the Author that wrote it.


Together, they prove what the gurus won’t say out loud:  

AI doesn’t replace effort. AI rewards effort.


This whole movement is for people who are tired — tired of fake ads, tired of fake promises, tired of being told that success is just one copy‑paste prompt away. It’s for people who want something real, something honest, something built with intention instead of shortcuts.


I hate shopping, but I’ll go anyway.  

I hate the noise, but I’ll speak up anyway.  

I hate the lies, but I’ll tell the truth anyway.


If you’re tired too, welcome.  

You’re in the right place.
