Drew Allen is a drummer, marketing director, and occasional sex symbol in Gainesville, FL

It’s true. I, Drew Allen, have not had a bit of solid food in my system since the evening of Jan. 2. Thank you, Texas Roadhouse. First of all, it has been amazing, and rewarding. I can’t recommend it enough. I lost 39 lbs. in 30 days, without any drugs, or starving myself, and getting [...]

Well, it’s 11:34 pm. 26 minutes left in the year, and for some reason, I’m at home. Not really unhappy about it. I’m pretty particular about how I ring in the New Year, and if I can’t be in the right place with the right people, I’m fine ringing 2012 in with solitude, sobriety and [...]

I agree with Wall Street Reform I really do. But please stop posting pictures with your “story.” They are all normal lives. 99% is almost everyone. You’re normal. We get it. You work a lot but don’t make much, and might have a big student loan. That’s perfectly normal. It doesn’t provoke empathy at all. [...]

This morning, I was thinking about how SEO has affected my views of church. Don’t laugh at me. In a certain way, the church is the king of content marketing.

Download the whole Joywave mixtape album here: http://joywavemusic.com/mixtape.html Lately I’ve been skeptical Silent when I would used to speak Life is overwhelming Heavy is the head that wears the crown I’d love to be the one to disappoint you when I don’t fall [...]

For the first time since spring of 2008, I am not actively playing with an active band outside of church. And oddly enough I don’t really mind. Go figure. I am home now from playing my last show with Moodhosa. I’ve been awake for 20 hours now, and i’m at the point of delerium and [...]

This is my first attempt at a first assembly microchurch™ in over two years. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a bit awkward right now, but not unbearably so. We’re talking about Ephesians 3 and 4. Nicole Blattler is here. That’s pretty cool. I’ve forgotten most of the names. I’m gonna do my best not to [...]

i am far too receptive to any kind of affection. a girl says she misses me, and i am ready to drive hours to kiss her for telling me that. i am in an emotional phase right now. i am trying to not let it get the best of me, but instead get the best of me [...]
