Don’t miss this great opportunity to show off your drumming skills and get some SWEET Soulidium swag!!!

To everyone that I love.  You know who you are!,

First I want to apologize for being a complete loser and neglecting some of our friendships/relationships.  You all are so important to me that you may never know how far my heart stretches for you.  I have not been in contact with a lot of you for quite some time.  I used to blame it on the fact that I am busy and always had too much on my mind.  Well, These past few weeks I have really come to the realization of my faults.  I thank you all for sticking with me through my endeavors and not losing hope in me and our relationships. 

I am a man of many demons and as I try to overcome them, I feel lost and alone.  I have allowed myself to become detached in hopes that I may find myself and whats important to me.  I have discovered that the thing most important to me is YOU!!!!!!  I have lost site of what makes me "Danny Ray Cayocca JR", and that is my friends and family.  You all have played a part in my life that has helped me grow into the person I am today.  Without you, I may not even be alive.  The truth is, you have always been better to me than I have been to you.  I have the best family and friends a man could ask for, and I let it slip by me.  For that I am SORRY!!!!

I love you all and I hope that we will forever be in each others lives.  If I were to die tomorrow(God forbid), I would want to be remembered as someone you could always count on.  NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!  Please accept my apology and don't ever lose sight of whats important to you. 

God bless!  Don't drink and drive, and always wear a condom!

Sincerely,

Danny R. Cayocca JR

"Streets of Cold"


Eerie is this place
The streets so dark and cold
No one around
The feeling of this is old


Trash fills the gutter
The light dims on the crack
Looking for something
But it is all black

The night air is curiously thin
Strange is the darkness
Loneliness fills this place
Not knowing where home is

Wandering is the only hope
That someday it will all end
With all the existing pain
No hands are there to lend

Take the steps to find
The happiness that once was
It all looks the same
This place is full of dust

A face in the distance
Brings a longing full grin
Hopes of anew
Embrace the hopes of an end

A stranger approaches
Bringing a hand and a smile
Its all over
Makes the search worthwhile

As the hand is lent
It fades away just the same
Leaving desire
Once again starts the pain

Left again to fend alone
Teased is the lungs that sighed
A relief that fizzled
Was it all just a big lie

Searching for that hope
But nowhere to be found
The heart is bleeding
As it thumps so loud


Running around searching
But the calling out is fruitless
Take it away
The feeling is so helpless

Oh to that face of hope
These streets are dark and eerie
Come and return
So it will all be over shortly

Both souls are lost
To this dark and cold night
Bring them together
To be each others light


No one should walk alone
But the walls have divided
Tear it down together
To find each other misguided

Reunited once again
The walk shall not be cold
Hands held tightly
Walk together and never let go

I dunno guys, I feel almost restrained by the pressures of life and reality at this point.  Though music is my passion and my portal, I am still feeling like there is something out there for me.  What is it?  I dunno!!!!!!  I need to get out and get myself into something adventurous.  I need to get my mind off of work, money, women, etc..  And just live it UP!!!  I have wasted a lot of time sitting and wishing and waiting.  I'm ready to raise some hell, or at least feel like the years aren't passing me by.  Hm...  what to do, what to do..  any ideas?  

Hey all, just wanted to let you all know that me and Jerry Morte have opened a new recording studio called Loud House Studios.  We are running very good package prices right now and are starting to fill a lot of slots..  Give us a shout to get your music recorded the right way.

Hey all, I'm gearing up for our tour with SEVENDUST!!!  It's gunna be a great tour that ends June 24th in Tulsa, OK.  We leave tomorrow morning to make it to Club 101 in El Paso, TX by the 9th.  I will try to keep you all updated with some kind of tour diary or something.  If you can make it to any of our shows, that would be incredible!  We are working on getting a date in Springfield, MO with one of the bands that will be on the tour with us.  So stay in touch and watch the Soulidium myspace page for updates on that. 

Also, if you know of any good blogging sites were I can keep my diary, please let me know.  I havn't done anything like that before so I'm new to that.  NEWHO, Thanks for your support guys and gals.  I'll talk to you soon.

My memories will not fade of the times that I shared with my 4 brothers.  I will not soon forget what was sacrificed and lost to be apart of something amazing...  It was not the destination, but the journy!  The road traveled by many but shared by few.  I never wanted it to end this way, but happiness is worth more than gold... 

My 4 brothers will always have a place in my heart.  I will always miss them.  Hopefully we can meet again.  If I learned one thing, it is that "He who has the least marks, is the most flawed" 

Some of you may not know what I am talking about, but just use that quote as a word from the wise.
