Profile GeneratorWaking Sunny Devine: An Ipod Masterpiece''Lyrical Odyssey of Parabolic Measure'---Stephen Hawkinson (popular astrophysicist)'Intriguing Irish theme gently introduces a christ-like ethic exercised in the various songs and substantial matter.'---Rowdy Roddy Pipper(former pro-wrestler)'I'm left feeling sort of interested in what type of man Sunny Devine really is or was. They speak so highly of him and really seem to find some sort of hope or source of faith through him. We meet him early in the story yet all the while know that he is already deceased, as a writer myself this intrigues me as to what type of adventures led to this point.' ---Anne Ryce (author)'The Black Paul Revere is presented to awaken the 'sunny devine' in us all. Even if the listener is not keen to the ideas promoted, there is room to ponder each topic matter freely and come up with ones own understanding.' ---Cornel Wess (noted writer-activist)'These rhythmic rhyming words are spells, living rituals to ressurect the divinity of us all. Lovely that Daniel chooses to forsake his own ego and attribute the musical composition to an alias 'Sunny Devine'. This is rather an act of denouncement to remain aware and detached from the subject matter that we can all look at from a distance with himself included.'----Geepak Chopra (lifestyle guru)"His poetry reminds me of romance in a pink snowy blizzard while i'm riding my ultraviolet tricycle on thin ice balancing some hot cocoa i'm bringing to my lover cuz he has the sniffles"---Byork (artist)

Critics and Artists agree, Waking Sunny Devine is an exciting monument to the present day of Hip Hop. Imagine an album you can listen to in fron of your children and perhaps even stimulate conversation amongst each other, male and female. quite a rare concept.
There's a player on the site where you can listen to the album and also order the CD by sending me an email.www.myspace.com/dsunn
Sounds Like: Some kat who took the right pill.THE LEGEND OF pepe pompeii AKA Pepi:Excavations near Pepi I's pyramid in the southern section of Saqqara have provided enough intrigue for at least another chapter in his family's saga—and new characters for me to keep straight. Audran Labrousse, director of the French Archaeological Mission, has uncovered seven new pyramids here. Three belong to wives of Pepi I, including Ankhesenpepi II, the most important woman of her time.
"She was one of two sisters from Abydos who married Pepi I," Labrousse begins over strong coffee in the French excavation house, which overlooks the Nile Valley from a cliff at the desert's edge. "Her name means 'she lives for Pepi.' Her sister's son Merenre became king when Pepi I died, but he ruled for only a few years. Then Ankhesenpepi's own son, Pepi II, came to the throne. He was about six, we think, so his mother became regent. She had real power, and you can see it in her tomb."
To get to her pyramid, we bounce into the desert in a Peugeot station wagon, pulling up between the pyramids of Pepi I and Merenre, both now hummocks of tumbled stones. Workers enlarging an already huge arena of tombs and temples load sand into rusty carts that roll on tracks to the dumps. We follow the faint scratch of a path to the bottom of the excavation and approach a jagged stone wall that holds back a heap of rock and sand. "This was a pyramid," says Labrousse, striding toward an opening at the base. "You'll have to trust me."Skirting slabs of red granite that were once a portcullis, we climb down a ladder and crouch through a low sloping corridor. "She was not a king, but she was so close," Labrousse says, stepping into Ankhesenpepi's burial chamber. Taking a flashlight from the woven excavation basket he uses as a briefcase, he shows me the sarcophagus, placed to the west near the dying sun. Then he traces the hieroglyphs that rain down the stone walls, column after incised column painted green, color of rebirth.
"This queen is the first female to be buried with a text like this," he explains, amazement coloring his voice. "Before her, the sacred incantations known as Pyramid Texts were for kings only. The deceased ruler had to pass through death to become immortal, and he did it with the help of these texts. He called out the words to make his body function again in the afterlife." Or, in this case, she did.
Ankhesenpepi must have been a remarkable woman. Royal wives before her had existed quietly in the background. Suddenly she stepped forward and claimed the strongest of the kings' magic spells. And that's not all.
