I've died and gone to heaven. A pic of Diego Luna and Shakira at the MTV Awards - Latin America.

Chicano Coffee Shop

I was in one of my old hoods this last weekend and found a Chicano coffee shop. They serve lattes and chorizo burritos. Talk about heaven!

Skip Starbucks and go give your money some hard working Chicanos.

Artist Goli Mahallati

I ran into the works of Goli Mahallati at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival. Her paintings had vibrant color, amazing texture and expressed immediate emotion. You can see a slide show of her work at http://www.gallerialuna.com/eventwindowt.htm

Ugly Betty

Sadly, I can so relate....[FLASHBACK] 22 years old, on a plane, trying to fake the funk in a Mervyn's "suit" on my way to the East Coast to negotiate some partnerships...

How come every time you come around...

The Killers

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he come

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young

Can we climb this mountain I don’t know
Higher now than ever before I
Know we can make it if we take it slow
Let’s take it easy, easy now, watch it go

We’re burning down the highway skyline
On the back of a hurricane that started turning
When you were young
When you were young

And sometimes you close your eyes
and see the place where you used to live
When you were young

They say the devils water it ain’t so sweet
You don’t have to drink right now
But you can dip your feet
Every once in a little while

You sit there in your heartache
Waiting on some beautiful boy to
To save you from your old ways
You play forgiveness
Watch him now, here he come

He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
But he talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when you were young

(Talks like a gentleman
Like you imagined when) when you were young

I said he doesn’t look a thing like Jesus
He doesn’t look a thing like Jesus

But more than you’ll ever know
