Dos Palabras

With Passion. The Moenia show tonight in SD was outstanding. Yes there were many reasons why -- it was at HOB on one of the best sound stages in SD, the keyboardist had on a vintage Frankie Says t-shirt, the vocalist is insanely hot with a hella sexy voice, the stage was covered in flat screens blasting trippy imagery, they are 80's retro with out being 80's retread, and of course I was with Rickypedia (that is always a good thing), - the list just goes on and on. But I think the most impressive aspect and which actually welled up in me during the show was the overwhelming feeling of passion. Latino culture does not like anything - they love it. Fact is for many years and many reasons (some good - some not so good) I lived my life as ok - that is not me. I am not ok. I am great. Latinos live with passion and that is how I want to live my life. I love the world, I love people, and I love life. I want people to feel my passion as clearly as they can see my smile. Latinos bravely show their passion - they do not live in fear of others that may not share their passion - it is no matter. Life is hard and life is treacherous at times but life is not ok - life is amazing. Mas fuerte.

PS Super Bonus Points -- Although I only catch every fourth word sung -- I understood on my own everything that was said to the audience! (It was in Spanish of course.)
