so i’m sitting here thinking about how excited i am to go home and listen to my new cd that my wife got me for my birthday (that’s right…not only do i still get cd’s, but i’m also 27).  the cd is a live concert recording by a band named muse.  i like muse a lot…not because i identify with the lyrics or because the music moves me to tears.  the reason i like muse so much is because they took music to the next level.  not brit rock to the next level…they took music to the next level.  they did something that has never been done before and made it awesome.  music as a whole will never be the same because of the small things that they have done.

i got a few other gifts that too.  as i sit here typing this i am wearing my new t-shirt that i got for my birthday.  it’s a simple shirt.  it doesn’t have the flash and bang of a band like muse.  it doesn’t attract thousands and thousands of people to huge arenas.  it’s pretty simple.  it’s a plain black t-shirt with white letters…two words…but it has a powerful message.  the people that made this t-shirt just wanted to raise some awareness in a simple way, but they ended up changing history.  everyone has the power to change something.  we might not change the world, but we can change the way someone looks at the rest of their day.  we can change the way someone looks at friendship.  we can change the way someone looks at our faith.  we can change history.  what in your world needs changing?  GO DO IT!!!
