Free Cirque du Soleil Show

Cirque du Soleil put on a free show down on the Harbourfront today, so we braved the traffic and crowds (both excessive) and went down for the performance — more pictures of it continue after the break. He’s been catching some flack over “wasting” money, but I’m pretty vicariously excited that the Cirque founder has decided to take a trip on the space station. I’m actually surprised that there aren’t more rich folks lined up for space tourism — in terms of profound experiences, I can’t imagine there’s much that compares to looking down at the Earth from orbit.

Every time I walk down by the water I think about what it would take to tough it out and live year round on a boat here in Toronto — there are people doing it — until I can make it somewhere warmer. I really feel life’s clock ticking and have this terrible worry that there will be far too many dreams unfulfilled when time runs out for me.

    Following dreams is good. Unfortunately, sometimes your dreams get in the way of achieving your dreams. Pick the ones that are most important to you, and to those you love.

    I wish I had known about this performance!

    Dreams, hmm.
    You’re already living it. Don’t lose touch with what it is you desire most and have already achieved. When the time is right, you’ll have your boat and open seas. Till then, live in the now. Toronto harbors are nice to … walk past in the summer, but prolly not-so nice to live on during the winter. If you’re gonna do it, do it right!

Wow Shannon, that's really annoying! What is it, 1997 on Geocities? Retroweb is NOT cool!
