I spent the next two weeks alternating between flying high living off all the endorphins and happy brain chemicals that had jammed all the wiring in my brain and the fear and worry that I hadn’t done a good enough job which is why they had wanted to switch me off the lead character. Wondering…

In Posty McPostface I described how performing in a play in front of 2,000 people was the moment that I found my purpose in life. That’s half true. That was the moment. The time on the stage and glow of mingling with the audience afterwards. I’d never been that happy or free before. With 35…

I should have been nervous that day. It stands to reason that I would be. I was a nervous kid. Like many evangelical padawans I was terrified of ever getting in trouble or making a scene and was afraid of pretty much everything at all times. But, there was a unique element to my very…

I have tried starting this entry several times during the last 5-6 weeks or so and every time I have been defeated by one of my core arch nemesis: Writer’s Block. Which isn’t entirely honest of me. It’s more than Writer’s Block. It’s a myriad of symptoms of the thing you’re gonna learn about later,…

It is a fact that I’m a Florida Man. Born and spent the first 3 years there. It counts! The four states that I have spent my life in are Florida, Texas, Michigan, and California. Keep that in mind when my lefty California politics terrify you. You’re gonna want to roll your eyes and think…

We learned about how whenever they rubbed everyone in society the wrong way with their obnoxious bullshit that they would either leave or take things over so they can create their own Jesustopia…

“… We didn’t land on Plymouth Rock, the rock was landed on us.” -Malcolm X There’s nothing Fucking Evangelicals love better (other than Rules) than proclaiming ad nauseam that this is a Christian Nation. Let’s have a Davestyle history lesson about this Christian Nation concept. This is a story about illegal immigrants, traveling uninvited across…

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,…

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…
