Thank you all for your talent and hard work.
Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. WOW. That is about all I can say when watching Cirque Du Soleil. I had the opporunity to attend the 'Ka' Cirque Du Soleil show in person years ago, and it was phenomenal. All of the event actors and entertainers are beyond talented, very special, and all coordinate and do amazing things on stage. This coupled with the music which is in the background, usually sang by someone with an amazing voice as well, it makes the entire Cirque Du Soleil experience out of the world. I cannot express in words how watching this makes me feel, it is literally almost like a time warp into another planet, for the entire time of the show. Very captivating. I recommend you check out Cirque Du Soleil. Thank you all actors and entertainers of Cirque Du Soleil for your contributions and continued amazing talents. Keep up the good work. |

The sun was settling down during the evening time, just as I awaking from a short afternoon nap in between classes. A peek out the window showed the sunset radiating at the horizon, and emitted a dark orange and brownish light just before fading off to be replaced by the night time sky and the moon. In the background, I could hear music playing from one of room of one of my suite-mates. It sounded like some kind rock-and-roll or heavy metal, and it was a sound that I didn't like at the time. I just listened from a distance in my room, and while getting up to prepare for the evening set of classes, I heard a lot of drums in the song, and could hear the chorus singing Even flowwwww.. thoughts arrive like ... As time went on, eventually I started hearing the same song in different places ... Even flowwwwww... thoughts arrive like butterflies .. and the tune was very familiar at that point.. then, Jeremy spoke in ... claaass todayyyyyyyyy. Hearing this song outside, at parties, everywhere. I began liking the songs .. and discovered that these songs were by Pearl Jam. At some point, I wanted to have the songs myself to play, so I went and purchased the Pearl Jam Ten CD. This is where the journey continued. I played the CD from start to finish, over and over and over again.... The more I played, the more I liked the songs, the compilation, the progression of the music, the drums, the vocals, the entire emotion within the music. It had captured my attention in a big way, and I looked forward to hearing again and again. I slowly began listening and learning the song lyrics, to sing along, and air drummed or air guitared wherever I was at when the music was on. This music provided a high level of motivation, emotion, reflection, excitement, and nostalgia ... Looking back from today, all of those emotions are still there when playing, and it is amazing how the songs on Ten where created. Definitely authentic alternative rock, original, a masterpiece. I recommend you check Pearl Jam Ten out if you enjoy alternative rock, rock and roll, drums, music that provides heavy reflection on life. Thank you Pearl Jam for all of your contributions. |

Thank you for your talent and hard work.
We had just finished evening lowering of the flags during the color guard daily process. That day was especially exciting because shortly after, there was a dance event scheduled back down in the same location of the campsite. On this week, the Girl Scouts had joined our campgrounds and the dance would be a mixture of both Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts .. Girl Scouts joined our campsite for one or two weeks during the summer camp, which was usually 3 months of Boy scouts coming onsite. I was a mid-teen Boy Scout, and worked the full three months there as a counselor and cook in the mess hall. We ran up the heart attack hill which was a long trek of dirt roads and small mountain, to get back to our tents, take showers, put on our finest gear (jeans, button down shirt, cologne, shoes), etc.. then go back down to the campgrounds flag area. My heart was pumping. I was both excited and nervous, would I get a chance to meet a girl... ? Will I get a chance to dance ? As the sun dimmed into the misting evening sunset, the crowd began to set in and the music was playing in the background. A few were bold enough to try and dance, asking each other to go to the grass and dirt dance floor. At that exact moment, I felt my opportunity. The song playing in the background was Always and Forever by Heatwave. There she was across the dance campground. I wanted to be bold, the music was right. Always and Forever, it was my chance. I took a leap of faith, and .. thought about it, should I do it, can I ask her .. as I proceeded, the music played, it's my song, it's the right time .. just as I was about to ask her, the song was ending ... For eee ver eeever evver.. Ever love you... My heart pumped.. You and me , me and you, we as one... Just as the song ended ... I said to her 'Hi'. She said 'Hi' back. Youuuuuuuuu .. And the music stopped... the event was over.. We smiled at each other, never actually danced, and waved each other goodbye. I missed my opportunity to dance on the grass and dirt, but at least I said 'Hi'. And I would remember that Always and Forever. It was magical. The song by Heatwave Always and Forever remains special and magical to me. Heatwave is very talented and that is demonstrated in the rhythm of that specific song, and the other songs they've created. Thank you Heatwave for all of your contributions and for using our ears to capture beauty within our hearts and souls. |
