About Me

"I WAS EMBRACED BY THE HANDS OF HEAVEN ON JULY 5, 2004.... I HAVE LEFT THIS WORLD BUT I AM STILL ALIVE....IN SPIRIT, I WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU, MY FRIENDS.....AHH, REMEMBER ME....BUT FORGET MY FATE...." ============================================================ ============================================================ ============================================================ ============ Please keep this space alive for him..... I will keep Dave's profile active... I want all of his friends to have a space to remember him and share their thoughts... He was the most brilliant writer i have ever known.... I will post some of his writings on here from time to time.....So, please check back often and help me keep his memory alive,....he loved this space and it only seems right to continue it....For he still lives...deep inside our hearts....Let us honor him together.....Thank you...... ~*-Magnolia~*- "the fudgecake to his milkshake".....(July 7, 2004) ____________________________________________________________ _____ ============================================================ ==================================== I am a blues musician/rockstar/poet who likes to pretend he is a pirate sometimes. I wholeheartedly believe in The Curse of the Bambino. I like Sun Records, clove cigarettes, the id, superfly music, and intelligent, or at least interesting, conversation. Life is for the living, and tomorrow's promised to noone. I like the first two Godfather movies, and every James Bond, tho' not equally. My stomach hurts. I am a true Cancer, the Moon King, and I am a definite cat person. I want to stalk through ancient jungles, and sail on ancient oceans. Dreams are the last wilderness to be explored. I hate it when people sign every line LOL. I have alot of headaches. I love anything dealing with ancient mythology, especially Celtic. ( I'm Scottish and Native American.) I like the first three Star Wars, and the last two... don't ask. I am a dork, and proud of it. I live the life I love and I love the life I live. I am most ill, 'cause I'm rhymin' and stealin'... I like old African spirituals, field hollers, and the works of Langston Hughes. I like reiki. I like to use pseudonyms, and ride the rails. I like to speak with a funny accent and write goofy songs. I like the nape of a woman's neck, and the small of a woman's back. I like colouring outside the lines. I think I was born in the wrong century, et cetera... Dig: We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams; World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems...
