This image is from October 2007 when a Code Pink protester confronted Condoleezza Rice just as she was about to testify to the House Foreign Relations Committee.

“Blood of millions of Iraqis is on your hands,” the protester told Rice. “War criminal! … War Criminal! Take her to the Hague.” she said as she was removed from the room.

It is a powerful image of two faces standing for two different issues. Condi barely bats an eyelash as the Code Pink protester comes at her with bloody hands. There’s a video of it here.

They both believe they are doing the right thing. One is for the wars and one is against.

So many people are against the war, yet not all are willing to stand up for what they believe in. Some may go about it in a different wat than this protester did, but this did get some media attention, and that was the point.

Sending a message.

What message does this picture send to you?

Face it, we must stand up for the things we believe in, and stand up against the things we don’t.

Well since it’s Friday I thought we could make it a Fun Friday post. Have a bit of fun and put a smile on your face.

When I was a kid I loved playing video games and I still like to when I get a chance at my age. I grew up playing Atari, Coleco Vision, Intellivision. Those systems had some fun games.

Eventually Nintendo, Sega, Play Station, Xbox, N64, and all the other game systems and upgrades. With so many it’s hard to keep track.

I also loved going to the arcade and plugging quarters into the machine. Street Fighter was one of the most popular games there. There would always be a group around it watching while others played. Click the image to face off on Street Fighter.

When I went shopping with my mom, she would give me a few bucks to go play some video games as she went shopping. It seemed like that’s what all the moms did. I must admit I didn’t mind going “shopping” with my mom.

I haven’t been to an arcade in years. I’m not even sure if there is one around here anymore. Maybe with all the video game systems the kids stayed home and the arcades closed down. Unless, it is just because I stopped going myself and never went to seek out an arcade.

Tomorrow is Saturday and I think I’m going to wake up and see if I can find an arcade and plug a few quarters into some machines. See if I can find one of those antique Street Fighter machines or a Zelda. Galaga took quite a few quarters from me too. In the mean time, I’m going to face the fun with the help of FunCityGames.info and I have to keep with the theme of Blogger Faces so I can only add the games with FACES.

Go ahead! Face it! You know you want to have some fun ;-)

Many of you may look forward to this day, others may dread it. February 14th, Valentine’s Day is here and it’s more of a day for the ladies out there, although the guys get some special loving too I’m sure.

So to continue with my face theme, I thought we’d go with the special holiday and we’ll take a look at Cupid.

I must admit, to me Cupid looks like a female in a lot of the pictures, but in fact is a HE. Wikipedia can prove it with their very revealing pictures. I know we already had a revealing picture yesterday, so I opted not to go there today.

According to Wikipedia, in Roman mythology, Cupid (Latin cupido) is the god of erotic love and sex. He is equated with the Greek god Eros, and another one of his Latin names Amor (cognate with Kama)

It is said that if Cupid’s arrow hits you, you will fall hopelessly and madly in love with the next person you meet. I know many are waiting, and waiting for that arrow of love to hit them.

When I think of Cupid I think back to when I was a kid and I’d get a bunch of Valentine’s in my little mail box in elementary school. Most had Cupid on them of course. I remember feeling bad for some of the kids that didn’t get as many as the others. I’m not sure why the teachers didn’t make it a rule that if you handed them out you had to give to everyone in the class.

Is Cupid the ‘Face of Love’?

I’m not sure myself. If you are with someone you love, I think you already know the Face of Love. If you don’t have a special someone for this day, you’ll have to wait until you do meet your ’soulmate’ as some like to call it.

What you see when you look at Cupid’s face is up to you, but I hope everyone eventually meets that Face of Love.

With US troops, along with coalition forces, fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, I think the Statue of Liberty needs to show her face on BloggerFaces.com 

Liberty is something most people today take for granted. We have the freedoms we do today because of those that have sacrificed in the past, and those that continue to sacrifice today.

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States and is a universal symbol of freedom and democracy. It was designed by sculptor Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi.

When I look at the Statue of Liberty, especially this image, I can feel the strength of the people, the strength of freedom. I feel lucky that I have the freedoms that many others in the world don’t.

What do you see when you look at the face of Liberty?

The Statue of Liberty is something all must see in person to get a true feel for her so plan your visit.

Liberty is a symbol of our freedoms, standing tall, after all these many years. We the people should stand tall for freedom and as you look at your fellow man, woman and child, you’ll see liberty in their face.

In addition to posting pictures of the faces of many well known people, I’m also looking for images of the maybe not so well known people – Bloggers. The blog is called Blogger Faces, so why not include some pics of the wonderful bloggers out there.

If you would be interested in offering your mugg… er face… to be posted on Blogger Faces, feel free to post a comment to this post, along with a link to a post on your blog with an image of yourself. Include a little something about yourself and your blog in the comment if you can.

If I use your picture I’ll of course link back to your blog.

I can’t guarantee I’ll use all the pictures submitted, but I thank all of you who take the time to post a comment.

Oh, and say hello to my friend Blogger.

Welcome to BloggerFaces.com

Faces…Everyone has one. Each one unique in it’s own way. Through this blog I will attempt to touch your emotions with some images of, yep you guessed it, FACES.

I love looking at images of people’s faces that spark some type of emotion inside me. Be it happy, sad or angry. Why else do you think emoticons are faces? :-)

Pictures take a moment in time and capture it, to keep for yourself or to share with others.

You always hear those sayings, “I never forget a face.” or “I’m glad I can put a face to the voice (or words) now.” “A picture is worth a thousand words” is what comes to mind for me.

Sometimes a picture will just leave you speechless or take your breath away.

As time goes on I hope to touch every kind of emotion in you as I can with the images I post here on BloggerFaces.com

I started with Jesus Christ, and though I in no way can compare myself to Our Saviour, I thought I’d post my face here.

I hope you’ll find my blog somewhat enjoyable and that you’ll return often. If you’re a blogger, and not shy, I’d also be interested in posting a picture of your face to become part of Blogger Faces.
