A blog is an engine and behind that blog is a person. There, in that very chair,  sits a  person with bounds of creativity. The type of creativity that you can not ever imagine because it is unimaginable to your mind. It creates.  By the time you are reading this the engine has worked twice as fast,  faster.  The engine is moved by some type of driver and the engine has many tools. It employs services to work as engines in order to make it grow. The production must try to keep up with the mind yet the creativity, it DOES NOT STOP.  It flows and drives and moves and the more it makes the more it has for it is infinite. This post is one of my fav’s and was originally posted Feb. 5th, 2010.

Tonight I’m going to the Sony Centre for Hope Rising! a concert which benefits the Stephen Lewis Foundation. There’s performances by K’Naan, Alicia Keys, Rufus Wainwright, Angélique Kidjo, Holly Cole, Jully Black and more at this first annual event. I’m most excited to see Rufus Wainwright because I love him. I’m going as media so hope to get a good spot so my photographer & I can get good photos. No way this rain is putting a damper on my day. Stoked! My most listened to Rufus song.

I watched the whole thing go down yesterday.  I love voting and feel this election was very exciting. The way information is delivered & talked about today is very different than it was during the last election in 2008. Social media was a hot topic across all media. Voter turnout was higher than previous years, although not by much. I’m interested to see youth vote number, I really hope young people came through! Someone on Twitter asked me: “What’s got you so election happy. Is that JUST you feelin’ peeps should be out and voting… ?” Yes. That is exactly it. It is very important to vote.  Hope I encouraged at least one person to get out there and cast a ballot. I liked seeing the rise in  NDP, pretty crazy they have never had more than 48 seats. I talked to a bunch of people who chose to vote that way for the very first time.  Surprised to how low the Liberal vote was. Excited to see the Green Party in the House of Commons for the first time. I only want the best for you, Canada.

Laying in the grass. Dance parties in the park. I got a rocket stick like this from Wind Mobile the other day.

I grabbed onto that voters card. and took it downstairs to my polling station. with my raincoat on. Then I voted. I marked an X in that box like it was my job. Really gave’r, y’know. Then I came back upstairs and looked outside. And read Flipboard, on ipad. Then I listened to some Metric. And admired the flowers I got last week.
