When: Friday, May 9th 8:30 PM-they kick us out!
Why: a Great cause and great fun!

There will also be a silent auction for some great stuff!
If anyone knows a business that would like to participate, have
them email me at djdavo@comcast.net or contact me here.

hey gang!

Well, just like the seasons are changing, it’s time for changes at Luna. As of today I’m no longer the DJ on Tuesdays.   I’m not sure what they’re doing yet (you’ll have to ask them).
  I wish Nick & the Luna crew great success in the future!
To each and every one of you who have supported me over the last few years, a hearty THANK YOU!  It means more to me than you’ll know that you were into the music that I love so much and you supported one of the last alternative weeknights in Michigan. 

-DAVO-

PS: You should all go up on Wednesdays and support Kat & Jeremy, as they are a couple of the best DJs in the state

"I'm not alone I'm not afraid I'm not unhappy...These stupid words I say to myself everyday."

-VNV Nation - fearless

=================================

for my rare and random blog entry, here's some of my favorite lyrics....either you get them or you don't.....if you 'get' these lyrics you should message me!

VNV Nation - fearless:

so many little things followed me
so many little things that bothered me
but I found my answer
from all the chaos that followed me
I have found my answer
I've told you before don't follow me
because I am not your answer

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
these are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
tell me what ritual I should have today
but I'm not alone
I've resolved so many things and set myself free

I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
the words I say to myself every day
I am not alone, I am not afraid, I am not unhappy
such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free
I'm not unhappy

I'm not alone and I'm not unhappy
not alone and I'm not unhappy
and I'm not afraid, not unhappy
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid
eleven point two, eleven point two
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid
I'm not alone, I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid
I am not alone. I am not afraid. I am not unhappy
These are the words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone. I am not afraid. I am not unhappy
I'm not afraid

and I am not alone. I am not afraid. I'm not unhappy
The words I say to myself everyday
I am not alone. I am not afraid. I am not unhappy
Such a stupid ritual to have to say to myself everyday
I'm not alone but I found my answer and set myself free
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not unhappy"

==========================================

audioslave-be yourself

Someone falls to pieces
Sleeping all alone
Someone kills the pain
Spinning in the silence
She finally drifts away
Someone gets excited
In a chapel yard
And catches a bouquet
Another lays a dozen
White roses on a grave
Yeah...

And to be yourself is all that you can do
Hey...
To be yourself is all that you can do

Someone finds salvation in everyone
Another only pain
Someone tries to hide himself
Down inside himself he prays
Someone swears his true love
Until the end of time
Another runs away
Separate or united
Healthy or insane

And to be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
Yeah..
To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)

To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
Hey...
Be yourself is all that you can do

even when you've paid enough
been put upon or been held up
with every single memory of
the good or bad, faces of luck
don't lose any sleep tonight
i'm sure everything will end up alright
you may win or lose

But to be yourself is all that you can do
Yeah...
To be yourself is all that you can do

Ohhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
Ohhh...
To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
To be yourself is all that you can--
Be yourself is all that you can--
Be yourself is all that you can dooooooohoooo

==================

one of my favorites of all time: it's one of the most profound songs i've ever heard...it's a "gospel song for a restless spirit" according to Bono. if you truly get what this song is talking about, we are soulmates & we should have a long, long talk.....  :

..> ..> ..>..>I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing fingertips
It burned like a fire
This burning desire

I have spoke with the tongues of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

I believe in the Kingdom Come
When all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Well, yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

=====================

th..th...th...that's all folks!

as some of you know, life has been kicking my ass lately.  i just wanted to tell you all that:

1. i appreciate all the thoughts and prayers you've sent my way. they've made all the difference...and you people who have stood by me for a long, long time...you know i appreciate it more than you can possible imagine...i wish i had words to express what you all mean to me.

and

2. i'm going to make it through this difficult time.  i find inspiration in music and movies, and this one is one of my favorites right now (believe it or not...you should really see this movie!)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3wuXyOUKJw

here's the original scene in the movie...which should make you want to see it!:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb2Uytv61XM&feature=related

-D-

PS: for you lazy folk, here's the original quote:

 The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!
