About Us

Welcome to The Listerzine Blog

Welcome to The Listerzine Blog, a place where I talk about the things I’m passionate about, from my own mental health struggles to my favorite comic book characters, it’s a buffet of randomness but I strive to make it informative at the same time.

My goal is to provide readers with entertainment and knowledge through high-quality content that stands out from the crowd. I try my best to avoid rage bait type content or anything too divisive because I think the world has too much of that already.

Who Am I?

My name is Dave Cosgrove, and I created this website because I’m agoraphobic and I spend 99.9 percent of my life totally alone and I don’t have many friends I even talk to at this point in my life at 47 years-old so this started out as a way for me to just share my thoughts and opinions honestly. It’s just me alone on here, a one man show.

What started as a fun way for me to vent and to share my life experiences has grown into the website you see before you now and if I’m lucky I hope perhaps it’ll bring some financial relief into my life soon as well, if I can even figure that whole part of all of this out, I can write and write and write until the end of time but figuring out everything else to do with this blogging stuff isn’t a strength of mine.

What You’ll Find Here

At The Listerzine, you’ll discover content about:

  • Mental Health
  • History
  • Comic Books and Anime
  • TV and Movies
  • My random ADHD hyper-fixations

My Mission

My mission is simple:

To feel like I’m sharing my thoughts and opinions with other people and being heard and hopefully entertaining and informing some people along the way. Making a little extra money while doing it would be nice but it’s not why I do it…I’ve been at this for years now and I’ve made $ .84 cents so far…but I’m still at it anyway.

Whether you’re here to learn something new, dive deep into strange topics, stay updated, or simply be entertained, I want every visit to feel worthwhile and I want people to feel like they’re visiting a friend when they come here.

About me

David Cosgrove

I’m a 47-year-old man who lives alone in Maine. I’m an agoraphobic hermit who barely takes part in society in person anymore. I have a teenage son because I haven’t always been the way I am now and I once upon a time thought I might have had that normal dream life we’re all supposed to want.

I am diagnosed with ADHD, OCD and PTSD as well by multiple doctors over the years, so although I have no shame about my mental health struggles, I’m also not one of these people that seem to wear these labels like they’re trends to get views with. These issues make life more difficult than most people can imagine or understand.

I survive mostly on disability because of all these mental health struggles, and I live a pretty tough rugged life on around $1000 a month and I cut my own firewood every year for my heat in the winter and I am just about the most frugal person in the world because I have to be to survive. I don’t share this to try and get pity but simply because this is who I am.

I’m also not sharing all of this as some kind of begging for financial help thing…if you want to help me, I’d love that but please do it through one of my many ventures through the links below…buy a t-shirt or canvas print…feeling like someone appreciates my artwork is more help for me than the money is to be honest.

I suppose I could be one of those people that go the Gofundme route or get on Tiktok live begging for money and share a big sob story trying to get donations…and I could share a hell of a sob story, and it’d all be true because my life has been and still is incredibly difficult and my brain literally doesn’t work correctly…

Instead I keep trying to be successful at something, whether it’s this blog or my artwork or whatever else…I want an easier life and I want to have much more money than I do but I want to earn it somehow…

I have many other little side projects like this blog where I attempt to make a little extra money such as posting my art on print on demand websites or making multiple different YouTube channels as well as posting pictures I take on stock photography websites. I’ve made $5 or $10 here and there from some of these but nothing has been frequently and substantially successful thus far, but I still hold out hope that something will fall in place just right when I need it to most.

I am a very devout Christian and a huge part of my life is all about my faith in God because a person like me wouldn’t be alive still in a situation and lifer like I’m in without God looking out for me and making sure I have what I need, even if I don’t very often at all have what I want.
