Ketamines to an End (Part 1)

Filed Under : Drug Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 5 minutes

It's important, in life, to have a few Scumbag Friends . People you can go to when you have a terrible idea that's also illegal, who can guide you along the way, and don't pass judgment. I had quite a few Scumbag Friends in Phoenix, especially towards the end of my time there, but none so insane as Joey. This is a kid who once vowed to spend an entire week ...

The Florida Story (Part 1)

Filed Under : Serial Stories, Weird Stories | Est. Reading Time : 5 minutes

This is a story about the biggest mistake I've ever made. Summer of 2002 - May, to be more exact (I'm glad I keep weird notes to myself for my much older self to discover) - I had just started performing comedy. Not a lot, mind you. Maybe one gig a month, at best. I was working at a fetish porn company as a web designer. I was in the ...

The Godless Chronicles (Part 4)

Filed Under : General Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 4 minutes

(if you missed Part 1, Part 2, and/or Part 3, you're gonna be confused) UPDATE : I've added a video of a full Godless performance right over here, if you're interested. Throughout my Senior year, I continued doing Godless shows, while working on my own band - Terratism - with friends of mine. This didn't really impact my ability to perform with ...

(if you missed Part 1 and/or Part 2, you're gonna be lost) UPDATE : I've added a video of a full Godless performance right over here, if you're interested. Over time, Godless had picked up a pretty good following. The goth kids would come out in full force, and I got to know a few of them and sort of embed myself in the goth ...

The Godless Chronicles (Part 2)

Filed Under : General Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 6 minutes

(if you missed Part 1, you're gonna be lost) UPDATE : I've added a video of a full Godless performance right over here, if you're interested. Over the course of a few months, we performed quite a bit. I had to be sneaked in to a few of the venues, being that I was barely 17 and the rest of the band was in their early ...

The Godless Chronicles (Part 1)

Filed Under : General Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 5 minutes

Godless was an industrial band in Phoenix in the late 90s, of which I was made a semi-member. Technically I was never part of the band, but I was associated with the band and I performed with them as what amounts to, basically, stage decor. Not that I minded it, I had a blast and I learned a lot and made some lifelong friends out of the whole experience. I wouldn't feel ...

An Origin Story, of sorts (Part 3)

Filed Under : Childhood Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 4 minutes

(if you missed Part 1, and/or Part 2, you're gonna be lost) I decided it was time to drop this sports charade. I wasn't enjoying it, I wasn't any good at it, and I was pretty sure I was off the hook with the principal anyway. Over the course of the school year, I was growing my hair out, dressing a little more "who gives a fuck", and trying ...

An Origin Story, of sorts (Part 2)

Filed Under : Childhood Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 4 minutes

(If you didn't read Part 1, you're gonna be lost) After the weird shove-match-punch experience, it was still relatively light out and I figured Alan and The Dicks wouldn't be going to the clubhouse so quickly. I grabbed my bike and rode over there, just to see if maybe there was anything in there I could use to fuck them over. When I walked up to the apartment, I could ...

An Origin Story, of sorts (Part 1)

Filed Under : Childhood Stories, Serial Stories | Est. Reading Time : 4 minutes

I told this story to some friends on my birthday a few years back, and they still reference it as my "origin story". They seem to think this is how I became who I am today. While I don't think that's necessarily true, I s'pose it has some merit. As our story begins, this is basically what I looked like (about 8 months before this story takes place)...
