About Me


What is in a song?
The words we write and sounds we bleed
like torrents of sleet cutting paths
down soft and unsuspecting cheeks.
The paths we create with emotions unchecked.
With highs that scrape heaven's floor
and lows that burrow Earth's core,
we blaze on in inconsistent shadows
of meaning and brightness and song.

Thanks for checking out my space. If you're looking for more material to read, visit the CultureFeast Blog which is my only independent personal blog.

If you're wondering why I haven't been around for a while, it's because MySpace just won't stop posting pictures of chicks in skimpy outfits everywhere. True, the online dating site, has no morals when it comes to advertising.

So if you want to chat, you can find me over at Virb.com, an awesome new social networking site with a better design and no lewd advertising! My profile page is located at http://www.virb.com/danielthepoet . Drop by and say hi when you join the community!.


Here's one of the best quotes I think I've ever heard. I got it from Coach Carter:


"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others
