"All for one and one for all"

This morning 8:30 after dropping of my girlfriend at work, I ran up through Quebec town and on to the walled city. As a ran along the wall the city seemed really quite, the odd car here and there and not person walking in the center (i think its holiday time), it made me think of the film I am legend and how people take each other for granted. I admired the beautiful view and continued my run, I ended up running past the plains of Abraham the site of the Paul McCartney concert, it was still being dismantled 2 days after the end of the show. As I past the site i noticed the workers busy doing their job and remembered with out the team behind "SIR PAUL" we would not have concert, the lighting, the stage, the sound, the cleaners, the catering and drinks, the security, the planners, the people who thought it would be a good idea in the first place, the transport, i could go on.....point is no one is more important we just want different things. We are in this together, so I walked over to 2 men in hard hats and thanked them for a great show and, it felt odd but I'm glad I did it they thanked me for thinking of them.

Sir Paul Mcartney in Quebec



Well what a day 300,000 people descended on the plains of Abraham to see an absolute legend. Being from Liverpool and recently moving to Quebec, I thought my chances of seeing a Beatle play live was very slim, When I came to Quebec from Liverpool I remember having various Beatles tracks on my I-POD and in particular listening to Universe quite a lot, The day I meet my girlfriend in Amsterdam I was know as hay Jude by her friends, before I got here I sent my girl friend a music box from Liverpool witch played the song "I wanna hold your hand". In addition to that it seemed like everywhere I went in Quebec they were playing Beatles, restaurants, bars shops etc. Then the announcement of the GIG on the plains on the 20th the Day I was Born. So he did all the favorites Hay Jude, Elinor Rigby, Give peace a chance, Yesterday the list goes on. For me 2 stuck out Give peace a chance (as I have it tattooed on my arm) and Elinor Rigby. The point to all this is I'm on my own personal mission to make a difference and achieve my dreams, so it reminded me that if that PAUL FROM LIVERPOOL CAN DO IT, I CAN TO. Even if its in the smallest ways I'm not gonna give up and neither should you what ever it is. Just keep your eyes open and when you change the way you look at things the things you look at change.
