Remember family, 2008 is your year. Don't dwell on your past mistakes or failures but build upon them. They were lessons that needed to be learned to move you to the next successful stage in your life. Don't be arrogant because of your accomplishments but help those have fallen short of theirs. Be Blessed. Your Friend Dave.

"The Page Screams Out" is a new track that I available have for FREE download and distribution. Dig it.
This is what I like most about MySpace, whereas we are able to share our music with others and by-pass a host of vultures that are unappreciative of the art but anxiously eyeing a prize that the art will provide, at the cost of...well...I guess that's those who buy music.
You sit there wondering why I am the way I am, or why I may react a certain way when I don't want to play into your games. It is the fact that your mind can not comprehend or witness this type of stand.

Other "white" Americans display Italian Americans as overweight, pasta eating, morons with no charm or educational bonds.
