I am in love with the beautiful people!

As we waited in line last night at the WICKED AWESOME SWEET Muse concert at Arrow Hall, I fell deeper in love with out diverse city, our generation, and our planet.

All I could hear in my head was "One" by U2. The lyrics hummed over and over in my mind as I looked around at the mosaic of faces; all different sizes, ages, colours; the blending styles and miscellany of eras... The things that stood out the most were sparkling eyes and easy smiles. It was both inspiring and heart-warming. You could feel only positive energy in the air, as the sun began to set, and this energy was further heightened as everyone slapped high-5s as the line slowly entered the building. Here for a good time, it echoed.

I feel that our generation, has taken the best of everything, from 50s fashion, to 60s/70s hippie love, to 80s originality, to today's ever advancing technology, to the world's variety of cultures, to new ideas and concepts, along with the finest of old proven theories. We have accepted them all proudly and made them our own.

We seem to know how important of a time we are living in. We are the generation that will go down in the books as the people of world world, that banded together across oceans and in every language, to save the environment, to focus on Pro-Peace, to live together as one. The Internet has given us a tool like the world has never seen before, and with it we can accomplish things that only lived in sci-fi stories and comic books. We have taken it and exposed things like "The Secret" ( a whole other blog story in itself - - and working everyday...) , produced things like Live Earth, and Live Aid, and we are uniting people across the globe. There is strength in numbers and in education...

...I could ramble on for hours, springing from one tangent to another, but I really have to get to work before I get myself fired and kill the happy vibe!

I just had to note how wonderful last night was while I can still hear the base thumping and the crowd cheers in my ears. I was honoured and touched to be a part of the shared love and passion for for the music. As always with concerts. But especially this time. In an environment that was safe, friendly, and open-minded.

Thank you Muse. Thank you Cold War Kids. And thank you to all you beautiful people!!

The world is good.
Peace and love.
