David Paulsen This is a page that will keep the enthusiasts up to date bout what's happenin in his life as an Actor

“Background Performers”, we are in 2023 now and being called an Extra is so out dated and it’s just insulting and belittling. Most importantly all of us that try and get work in the film industry have studied for years and some of us haven’t. But we are still actors, No matter who you are, all of us are still working our arses off to get a main role or a support role, bit part etc. Because I am no

t lucky enough to be a “A” list actor like Hemsworth or Kidman etc etc, I take every chance I get to work as a background actor so I can pay my bills. 😀

🇺🇸 “It’s World AIDS Day and I’m remembering these three boys, who contracted AIDS from blood transfusions. When the word spread they were HIV positive, the church turned their back on them, they lost their home and ended up moving to Orlando. I have the pleasure of calling their Mom and Sister my friends.

RIP Robert, Randy and Ricky Ray.” 📖 by Vickie Dent McKinney

I told my therapist today

I told my therapist today:

“I’m not suicidal… I just don’t want to be here anymore.”

She looked at me softly and said:

“There’s a kind of suicidal no one talks about.
Not the kind that screams —
the kind that fades.”

And then she paused.

“The kind that sounds like…
‘I’m just tired.’
‘I don’t want to do this anymore.’
‘What if I didn’t wake up tomorrow?’”

That silence hit harder than anything.

Because she was right.
I still got up.
I still smiled when people asked how I was.
I still replied to messages with, “I’m fine.”
But inside?
I was gone.

Numb. Hollow.
Floating through my own life like a ghost.

And people called it “burnout.”
Or “just stress.”
But I knew better.

It wasn’t exhaustion.
It was grief.

Grief for the years I held it together when no one held me.
Grief for the childhood that demanded performance, not presence.
Grief for becoming “the strong one” before I ever felt safe enough to be weak.

And the cruel part?
No one noticed.
Because I was still functioning.
Still showing up.
Still too polite to fall apart where anyone could see.

That’s the kind of pain that almost takes you out —
the invisible kind.
The quiet kind.
The “I’m fine” kind.

My therapist told me:
“Sometimes the bravest thing you’ll ever do is finally stop pretending to be okay.”

And maybe that’s where healing begins —
not in strength,
but in surrender.

Unpopular opinion: Halloween doesn’t belong in Australia. It’s not our tradition, it’s not our season, and it’s definitely not our vibe. Terrifying kids with horror tropes, pressuring adults to spend on costumes and confectionery it’s all imported commercial noise. Can we stop pretending it means something here?

Crazy how the Big Mac went from $0.50 in 1980 to about $8 today and got 40% smaller along the way.

It’s a tiny sandwich that tells a big story: inflation, rising costs, and “shrinkflation” all wrapped into one bite. Makes you wonder what else has quietly changed around us.

A bite of nostalgia, a pinch of math, and a reminder that price tags don’t always tell the whole story.

Contrary to popular belief, driving significantly below the speed limit can increase the likelihood of accidents. According to the National Motorists Association, overly slow drivers disrupt traffic flow, create congestion, and cause other drivers to make risky decisions like sudden lane changes or overtaking maneuvers.

Studies have shown that driving too slowly on highways and major roads is associated with a higher rate of rear-end collisions and aggressive driving behavior from others. It forces faster drivers to slow down abruptly, reducing reaction times and raising the odds of misjudged maneuvers.

Traffic experts clarify that driving fast is dangerous too, but speed differentials are the key risk. When one driver moves much slower than the rest of traffic, the disruption they cause can be just as deadly as speeding recklessly.
