I don't want to feel confliction.
My heart beats in vain.
My head hung in shame.
It goes on.

Danny wants freedom, not some stinkin' roadmap
He rides up high. He rides down low.
A son of a gypsy. He drinks his whiskey.
He drove his motorcycle...a hundred miles per hour right thru to my heart.
Now I'm on a two wheeled journey...of highway lust. In his sidecar.
A mountain man. A steely Dan.

Simplicity
It feels like the UI is too far apart. Just as I like to use as few keystrokes/mouse gestures as possible, I also don't like moving my eyes too far to find all the info.
I think Google is great that it keeps it simple. Simplicity is what we are all after on the web and too much clutter makes it impossible to keep momentum.
But given that, too simple and we are all monkeys with keyboards...

American
Deadbolted to new beginnings,
A stranger and yet a friend.
Rarely in a bad mood,
Walks down the street with headphones,
Rarely in a bad mood,
When everybody is having fun.
Enjoys being in the dark,
Or out of view.
Never quite understood,
Never quite understood,
Can come across as offensive.
Cannot sit still for very long,
Unless listening to music for hours.
Walks down the street with headphones,
While secretly hearing everything and anyone.
Loves his family and friends,
Tries his best to understand them.
He listens to advice given,
He listens to advice given,
Is thankful for any moment given.
Proud to be American.
The difference between most people,
Proud to be American.
The difference between most people,
Keeping heads down while staying basic.
Change is a concern, a must happen,
A warrior cannot be contained.
Apologize by being blunt about this subject,
Apologize by being blunt about this subject,
Fighting for the ones that cannot fight.
People are beautiful and come from a lineage,
People are beautiful and come from a lineage,
That needs to be remembered.
To know the past is to create the future,
To know the past is to create the future,
Live by that motto.
Pride of where ancestors come from.
Pride of where ancestors come from.
It's important as an example.
Proud to be American.
Where dreams come true.
Where dreams come true.
For the ones that came before and the ones that come after.
The American Dream is alive, well, and fought for with a passion.
