  • Rules, Disclaimers, and Foul Print.

    Alright sheep. Gather round. You’ve been patient with me. You’ve stuck it out this far. And this is probably the last post of the Intro section of our journey here. Maybe one more small post after this (still deciding) before we really get rolling with the narrative. At this point, I’d like to first say,…

  • Heroes

    I once did an episode where the storyline was on why fans shouldn’t admire celebrities because they might be… *checks notes*… self-medicating drug addicts. Interesting that the character was a black basketball player and not, say, a white baseball pitcher. Worth noting. Do I suspect malevolent intent? I do not. But, it’s the little things…

  • Whale Vomit Pt. 3: Out

    Many thousands of years ago, at a trendy seaside resort in the Middle East, a crowded beach is filled with the typical mix of tourists trying to get out of the heat, families having a summer vacation gathering– dad busy trying to figure out how to light the charcoal briquets *new and improved formula from…

  • Whale Vomit Pt. 2 Gordian Knots

    Fucking Nineveh. Btw, as bad as you could imagine being stuck inside a whale is… it’s actually worse than that. Significantly. Exponentially. Worse.

He’s just living life. Probably having a cappuccino and baguette and flirting with the wait staff at the…

  • Evangelicalismianitytopia

    Evangelical. Fuck. That’s a whole word, isn’t it? That’s such a loaded word that even the people who are Evangelicals can’t agree on what is or isn’t Evangelical. Is it a religious philosophy? Or a political identifier? I am not a religious scholar. I am not an academic on any level… you’ll find out why…

  • In the Beginning

    Friday, May 13, 1977. 45 years ago today I was born. According to reports, it was not pleasant. I was born on time, but very underweight, and had jaundice. Oh. And I was breach. And when the doctor… or team of doctors… or the 12 clydesdales that I was hooked to pulled me from my…

  • The Prodigal

    My name is Dave Griffin and this is my story of how a child actor playing an iconic character on a show produced and distributed worldwide by Focus on the Family goes from being a diehard Evangelical to a diehard Democrat. And not just any Democrat, I’m currently an elected Delegate to the California State…
