Hello to the world from the long gone ScaryDAve.
I want to thank the people who keep showing up and leaving me kind messages, and asking how I am doing. So I figured I'd drop this here in case anyone sees it. I am considering making a short video now that I can speak fairly well again.
So, here is where my life went.
1. ScaryDave and thechurchofdave started to risk getting in my family's way. So I stopped making new videos. I was also still stuck in Missouri and it was causing some problems there as well. I also saw some bad trends on the rise and figured I'd just bow out before I got caught up in it.
2. It was becoming obvious to me that my heart was going bad again. So I toned things down and as soon as my kids were out of school, I headed back to LA. The Wife got her nursing license and she moved back here with me. Been pretty good since back but the health kept declining. Resulting in more heart attacks, more heart surgeries, months in hospitals, then once that was over I got hit with a bad cancer. The treatment was rather horrible, starved me, gave me a lack of B1, that caused all kinds of brain damage, all the chemo puking cause 5 small strokes. . . lol I swear I'm not making all this up. lol Anyway, docs said I was screwed for life with brain damage. That got a middle finger from me. 6 years later now, I am way way better than the docs said was even possible. So Yay me lol hahahaha Aaaaaan now I just finished up the radiation for an entirely different kind of cancer. Which is a pain but come on. . . that's a cool story. Cancer. . . freaking TWICE. . . after 5 heart attacks and 4 heart surgeries lol Still here though. :)
3. So I took over a building behind my house and started buildin a film studio into it so I could put out ScaryDAve as a Henson style puppet show. Even went to classes on how to build them, and got good at it. Unfortunately, street people burned the building down and stole all my film gear, tools, and instruments in it that were left. While I was going through harsh cancer treatment, during the Covid lockdown. Then the cancer treatment brain damage fried me. Took my voice, my coordination, my rhythem, even had to relearn how to walk again. So everything that made it possible for me to do ScaryDAve. . . went bye bye. Radiation to my head made it impossible for me to even grow a beard anymore. Took all my teeth too. I lost 100 lbs in under a month. Almost 200 overall. So I don't look much like my old self anymore. So coming back as me or a puppet pretty well died.
4. Yet, I amz who I amz > : ) lol so here I am. Off to try again. So here is what I'm doing. In order to build myself back up, I dumped everything I had after selling the burned building, into building a stop-motion film studio behind my house. An that is mostly done. Stop-motion puppets and sets are small enough I can deal with them quite easily. So I am going to be producing shorts and a feature film and a documentary about how I am doing all of that. So I am hoping to make it back here in the next year or so. Once I get the studio completed and outfitted, I'll be all over working content back onto here again. No promises, but I'm still upbeat, optimistic, and hard at work trying to be here again.
5. Now a short description of how I got here and why.
I was born into a Hollywood family of entertainment roots. Both of my parents had roots in or worked in entertainment. So I grew up around famous people and worked in the film industry myself. I was raised to be a performer. I like to think I was pretty good at it. I did some small time stuff around LA but always quite when it got too popular because even though it's been offered to me a few times. . . I've no desire to be famous in any big way. Small town famous is bad enough lol
So I love to perform but I know I have some sort of hook. There is something about me that makes people look. An that's "The IT factor" that is used to describe good performers. So I know I have/had that. An that's cool to know but I also know things about my personal . . . private self. An one major problem is I don't have very good self control once loud exciting things start happening. I just want to jump in an go. Cuz much of life is quite boring to me. An I find that rather painful due to an abundance of Autism, ADHD, and IQ lol An some PTSD as well. So me being famous back then means cops, hospitals, an likely death. So I've always bowed out. Cuz me taking a camera away from a paparazzi guy and then punching him in the face with it repeatedly. . . again. . . is not really something I think I should risk my way or my family into. So that is why I left.
6. The reason I came here was mainly because my kids and I lived rather far apart. So I figured I would find a way to be Mr Rodgers for them in a funny way. Good ideas, sound philosophy, funny behavior and music, and then they would know I really cared about them. So I tried a couple things and then one seemed to work. So I dove in. An they seemed to like it. So I went in harder. Some music people here in LA were kinda lookin down at me in the circle I moved in. Claiming I couldn't do what they did. So, I showed them otherwise, and started doing the musical comedy thing. Figuring my kids would love it. Which they did. And then I immediately shot right past the people slammin me lol Which is kinda my thing lol An it felt good :)
Anyway, the kids did well, and strangely enough, Jr high, High school, and College kids all seemed to like me as well. That kind of shocked me but since I was basically playing to my High School self. . . trying to give my kids advice I wished I'd gotten, I guess it makes sense that other people found it useful. So I'm happy about that. I love to help and solve problems. Glad I was able to help out some other people out there. Very happy in fact. So that's why I am going to do my best to put a little more out there soon. In a much higher quality way though. My training here in Hollywood certainly taught me how. An now that Youtube has gone such a strange way, I figure I'm just gonna come back and be me again. Cuz that aughta stand out.
7. I'll end on this note. I know the world has gone very very dark since I left. I understand that a lot of people want me to comment on the world, and it's events. I get that. It's rather ugly out there. An the ugly seems to be new to a lot of people today. However. . . and I say this as a 62 year old guy who has been diving into everything my entire life. . . the world I was raised in. . . was ALWAYS ugly. None of this is new to me. My family was mostly wiped out in the holocaust. Not to mention how the Natives and the Japanese and the Chinese in my family fared. So none of this is new to me. Cops harassed me for 30 years after VietNam issues hit the US.
So I get it. It's ugly. But this topic is not being dealt with right by most anyone. In my opinion. The team based arguments about how it's the other guy's fault. . . . well that's not my deal. I don't have much to say about this team or that. Other than screw all teams. I'm more interested in individual intellectual responsibility and ethics. I am very much centered in the idea that I am not an individual. I am a node on a network of everyone I connect with. Even here. So in order for my to follow my philosophical spirit of goals, I have to be as good a me as I can be so that information I bring to the network is as valid as it can be. Because I want my node to move quality information on the network I am connected to. Unfortunately, if I am broken, I have to work on my ability to even BE a functional node. An I have been working on that a long time now.
I think I'm just about as caught up as I can get. So, the next step is to produce content that I can keep up with producing. So I am currently running tests and finishing up the studio. I am also writing materials this time. Something I never did before. Back in the day, I just turned on a camera, screamed at it for a couple hours in improv, and then edited it down to what I felt was the good stuff. That was my process back then. The songs were all written in 20 minutes or so and then practiced till I could record them in one take. No recording gear. Just a mic, a camera, a guitar, and me. I always referred to it as my "Stupid campfire songs anyone could sing."
So I will be doing much more music in the future but there will be a little more to it. I will be making many shorts and perhaps a regular show. Depending on my equipment needs. Most of my shorts will be musical. My music acted out my puppets. Similar to old music videos in the 80s.
So these are just some of my plans. The health is getting better. I am getting more capable. I have already done things doctors said I would never do again. So I am working hard to come back. An thank you to every single person who asked me to. It meant the world to me. I'm an Autistic only child who raised himself from 10. I've spent more of my life along. It was fun having people actually like me here. Not something I was exactly used to. So thank you. I admit I would like more of that once I've earned it again. So I'm steadily trying. I promise. But I ain't bitter. > : )
Anyway, nothing to ask. I think I can pull of this studio and work to get here. So no requests for donations or anything. Eventually once production starts, I will likely put a web camera in the animation studio so people can watch me work. As boring as an old guy playing with his hand made dolls would likely be lol
OK that's enough for now.
Sincerely
ScaryDAve.
ARR > : )

I've been gone a long time now. I let the kids grow up and I've had a number of health chalanges with heart surgeries and harsh cancer treatments. I tried to come back some years ago with a puppet version of me but cancer hit me pretty hard, then my studio was burned down by street people who then stole all my tools. Then the cancer treatment starved me down 200 lbs. 100 lbs in a month. Not a single bite of food for over 5 weeks. That led to an abundance of brain damage and strokes. So I had to relearn how to walk and talk and try to regain my balance, voice, coordination, and pretty much everything it takes to be alive in this world. So that's where I have been.
Now I am building my a Stop-Motion animation studio. Cuz boredome and I don't work well. This is the first time I've allowed anyone to point a camera at me in many many years. . . but even though I've not put out content in over a decade. . . sometimes. . . at the very worst moments in my life. . . . people from here would just. . . reach out and say hi, and that they remembered me fondly. It's hard to put into words how much those tiny little amounts of effort that people put out. . . meant to me. An it was because of those moments. . . that I decided to take my own advice.
The doctors said I was mangled for life. They said I could never be "Me" again. I couldn't even snap my fingers a few years ago. I was an absolute wreck in a wheelchair, who could barely speak. But I decided to NOT LET THE BASTARDS KEEP ME DOWN!!! Even if that bastard was me. :) So I did "the impossible." lol An I worked on rebuilding myself every day for the past 5 years. An I'm not perfect. . . but I'm good enough > : )
So as soon as I finish the studio. ScaryDAve will be back in Stop-Motion format. Cuz. . . Gumby freaking RULES! Not to mention Wallace and Gromit. :) Thanks again to the people who have been so kind to me. An a huge Thanks to Don here for helping feel like I could learn new stuff again. All my life I have wanted to be able to sculpt but I was always told I couldn't. . . . an I believe those dirtbags too long. :) No more. lol
