When I look at these shoes, I see someone who’s hard at work and passionate about what he does. He’s not lavish or flashy, just a good man with good intentions. Just what this country needs.

Face to Face

Face to face
my lovely foe
Mouth to mouth
raining heaven’s blows
Hand on heart
tic tac toe
Under the stars
naked as we flow
Cheek to cheek
the bitter sweet
Commit your crime in your deadly time

It’s too divine
I want to bend
I want this bliss but something says I must resist

Another life
another time
We’re Siamese twins writhing intertwined
Face to face
no telling lies
The masks they slide to reveal a new disguise

You never can win
it’s the state I’m in
This danger thrills and my conflict kills
They say follow your heart
follow it through
But how can you
when you’re split in two?

And you’ll never know
You’ll never know

One more kiss
before we die
Face to face
and dream of flying
Who are you?
who am I?
Wind in wings
two angels falling
To die like this
with a last kiss
It’s falsehood’s flame
it’s a crying shame
Face to face
the passions breathe
I hate to stay but then I hate to leave

And you’ll never know
You’ll never know . . .

Well look who decided to move in…

What’s more beautiful than the styling of the new Alfa Romeo 8C Spider? The 17 mile Drive in Monterey California along the gorgeous Highway 1. Yes, the scenery here is absolutely stunning, but I’m always in awe of the homes along the drive. (thx bodyvis)

Before I get anything done today, I’m gonna need to do some of Vera de Milo’s expert cardio:

Betty White makes an appearance on the Late Late Show as McCain’s new speechwriter. I see sly-dog McCain has got a few more tricks up his sleeve before November 4th. Betty White is a comedic genius! (thanks to N!COLE for the link!)

The super-crazy, bright-colored, 80’s-hyper-color blog style was fun… for a while. Over time, I got so tired of seeing my face with the wincing expression and super-trendy sketchy colors. I got to the point where I couldn’t stand looking at my blog anymore. I stopped posting and became quite disinterested in my blog… using Twitter and Flickr to fill my yearn for Internet-gab. I woke up at about 5am and couldn’t sleep this morning, so I decided to bring my blog back from the dead. I’m quite excited about creating a super-clean, super-simple style that loads in a fraction of the amount of time, as well as working on getting my flickr and twitter streams integrated in to my actual blog stream. Yay for contiguous life streams! Stay tuned for some big changes. 

Sadly, I’ve been neglecting my blog. I wanted to pop by real quick to share a fantastic little piece on a very talented Bay Area photographer, Erin Malone. Erin used to manage my team at work and has recently left for greener pastures. While I will miss Erin as a manager, moreso, I’ll miss talking shop with Erin. Her fantastic journeys out to the marshland behind the Sunnyvale campus at work are forever documented in her fantastic photo portfolio. This KQED piece just showcases a few:

RIP George… You will be missed!
