ABOUT DAVE
David Michael Rerecich, or 'Steve' as he's referred to by the elderly, was born on the sixth day of the fourth month during the country's second centennial. Growing up on the eastern end of Queens, New York, Dave spent most of his childhood being picked second-to-last for kickball.
Dave first began writing early in grade school, when he would trace the dotted letters of the alphabet in his handwriting notebook. It would take several years before he came up with his own material and later still before he registered a domain name to use as some futuristic digital filing cabinet.
Dave currently resides in Long Beach, New York. His passions include good music on vinyl records, old and obscure television oddities, pizza, alphabetizing his DVD collection, erotic origami, and shooting poison arrows through your
hear-ar-ar-art.

F.A.Q.
What's the point of this site?
Perhaps to amuse you. Perhaps to annoy you. But really, there is no point. You'll walk away from this site the same as when you entered, except maybe a few minutes older.
What happened to the sections, the old articles and certain blog posts? First, a lot of stuff was jettisoned when I switched to a strictly "blog" format for the sake of simplicity in life. I retained the old articles in their original format for some time. However, after losing all my data when my old hosting provider thought I didn't pay (which I did), I moved to Google's servers and have converted a handful of worthy articles to a blog format.
Meanwhile, the blog posts were safe with Google, but not the original images. I had to spend a couple of days cleaning up the posts and replacing the lost images when possible. When I couldn't replace the image (or YouTube video) and it was detrimental to the article, I just removed the post.
Also, some of my blog posts sucked. Didn't seem worth fixing them.
And before you ask - yes, I had a backup and yes, I lost it.
What's the extra 'M' for?
Marvelous. Magical. Myopic. Magnetic. Take your pick. It actually came from when my classmates called me 'David Michael Michael Rerecich' after a seemingly moot Confirmation name snaffu. Confirmation, by the way, was a pointless Catholic ritual where you'd pick a Saint's name as an additional middle name and just
'ran with it'. At any rate, 'DaveMMR' sounded and looked better than 'DaveMR' when I first started using that online moniker and since I was never able to come up with some cool name like 'HotPaNNycaKe227', DaveMMR is what I'm stuck with until I die or turn my back on the internet, whichever comes first.
Can I reprint your material?
Here's a better idea: just link to the post (there's an icon for it). If you're just going to fill up your blog with other people's writing, why even have a blog? Oh yeah, I know. You wanted a place to show off some icon you got from a quiz that labels you 'whatever' through a ridiculous series of questions (all of which give away the eventual outcome). "I'm Barbarino! Which Sweathog are you? Take this quiz and find out!". Give me a break.
If you want to use something I wrote for a legitimate purpose (through Google I found out some college student referenced one of my articles in a paper - I wonder what grocery store he's bagging at now) then at least credit me (my full name, my website's retarded name or "Captain Horatio Fantastic" are all acceptable).
