About Me

My name is dave, you might remember me from such things as....well, nothing. i like music, i like to play it, listen to it, dance to it, and steal it. I like movies, comedies and the like. i like to leave the letter "i" lowercase, i learned that from ziggy comics.
you can IM me on AIM at .:TMBGDave:.
