I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I started this page because I wanted to monitor the online interactions of my 15-year-old son, who started his own page. I'd also been thinking of having a website for my law office, and found Myspace is a good way to get some experience with web promotion and design. I've also found it to be a fun way to network with all kinds of people throughout the world, and express myself personally and professionally.--------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- LAW OFFICESDAILEY, KARLE & VILLELLA 900 STATE STREET – SUITE 310 ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA 16501-1427 GERALD J.VILLELLA, Esq.

I'd like to meet:

God, eventually, of course.
Great legal minds, great comics--Steve Martin, David Letterman, all the SCTV cast, writers such as G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, Thomas Aquinas...lots more I can think of. I have a link to Emo Phillips' website, which I put there while his MySpace page was temporarily removed on June 26, 2007 until July 24 for reasons still not explained. I'm keeping it here, because we must never forget the transient and fragile nature of life, and because it is a really great website.
