Beauty in the unusual

I went to a concert last night at The Larimer Lounge in downtown. My roommate's band, Biscuitland was opening for one of Kelly Clarkson's opening bands on her new tour. So Biscuitland has jumped forward in the music world now having become the opening band for the opening band! It was a fun night being with friends and of course seeing my roommate throw his guitar to the ground after the final song - later realizing he broke part of it. O well, the life of a rock star I suppose.

Eric and I pulled up on a side street, next to an area of unkept veggitation. This warped sunflower was one of the tallest of all the weeds, standing proud of it's unique beauty - stretching so all could see it. Our race is so judgmental of the differences each individual has.

If you do not look like me, you are different - and that is bad. Instead of looking at the unknown with curiosity, we look at it with harsh glares afraid and unwelcoming. But it is us who are missing opportunities. Missing the chance to learn new things, experience new things and add to our own knowledge of the world we exist in. Our minds are so negative. We have been bred to think and feel with the glass half empty. I encourage all of you to reprogram your nature. Look at the world with fresh eyes. If you look beyond what you want to see, you will find the whole world is full of deformities - and that is what makes it so beautiful, so unusual.
