David R. Heckler

So let the people say I'm downright nasty. I just say I'm downright.

About Me

Generic White Male...into Cannibalism. No...not really. But that would be kind of freaky wouldn't it? I'm a storyteller. A dreamer. An artist. A loser. No...I'm not really a loser. I like to live, even though I smoke. I'm neurotic...not psychotic. I hate people that call themselves crazy even though they're clearly not. Truth is, I'm getting quite comfortable with myself these days. It's pretty cliche to say you are re-awakening. But that's kind of what I'm doing. I'm taking risks. And I'm enjoying it. I have a love/hate relationship with Chicago. I think I'll have a love/hate relationship with any city I choose to live. Edit...edit...edit...blah blah blah...Read the blogs motherfuckers. There's more in there.

My Blog

OH SHIT!

As much as I try to be sophisticated at times, it's all a front.  Really behind my mask of sophistication hides a thirteen year old who really loves bathroom humor.  I admit...I love stories...

I'm Decomposing

On Wednesday, June 13th, 2007 I will be attending a funeral.  Whether or not I'm going to wear all black, I haven't exactly decided yet.  But it's going to be a rather bleak day.  Whose...

The Smell of Textbooks in the Air

Was I that drugged up in high school?  That's a rhetorical question.  You have no need to answer that.  I was just wondering that to myself.  Why?  Well, because my old high s...

The Adult Film Industry According to Bill Keller

Well...Bill Keller is at it again.  Only this time he and his God Squad are not taking on suicide or the "Persecution of Christians."  Nope.  Tonight he tackled the adult entertainment ...
