at the center of the Universe

Words cannot describe what took place at Grant Park (Chicago) last night. I was lucky enough to be 1 of the 65,000 inside the Rally to witness History. There was something in the air and it wasn't the unheard of warm weather for the city in November. One of the greatest things I have ever witnessed. The gathering of 250,000+ diverse, kindred spirits in one night. Complete inspiration. Seasons always call for change.

I remember reading Chris Martin saying that everyone in the world should be allowed to vote for the next President of the United States. Interesting perspective, sounds only fair...

I wanted to posted some numbers that mean a lot to me. Most of of the 35k in 'Howl' downloads tracking are within the USA but personally, these carry more weight. The list goes on...

Kenya - 12
Brazil - 242
Australia - 1,824
Afghanistan - 10
Egypt - 26
Spain - 139
Saudi Arabia - 30
India - 41
Poland - 417
Israel - 54
United Kingdom - 1,916
United Arab Emirates - 63
Chile - 79
Ireland - 92
Philippines - 129
Germany - 351
Canada - 1,798
Vietnam - 175
Sweden - 242

Thank you.

If you wonder why I don't trace the steps I've once walked, its because its old and uninspiring. Empires is meant to be its own vessel and not just for one type of individual. One of the most important things I've learn over the last few years is if you're going to take a chance on something, make it worth your while. Eventually, the reward is greater.
