Zumanity – The Darker Side of Cirque Du Soleil



If you want to see an amazing artistic show but want something with a bit of a naughty edge to it, Zumanity may be the show for you.  Located in the New York, New York Hotel and Casino on the south end of The Strip, across from The MGM Grand.

The music, dance and acrobatics are exactly the quality you’ve come to expect from Cirque.  The music has got some groove to it with strong funk beats backing a very powerful band that plays on a catwalk above the stage.  The show has everything from aerialists to cage fights all overseen by masters that make sure their prey do what they are told.  Intermingled with the show are several comedy sketches that I won’t spoil for you but add a great deal of levity to the atmosphere.


There is definitely a reason the show is for 18+.  Aside from suggestive sex and in your face provocative (but not actual sexual) acts, there actually is some nudity, so leave your inhibitions at the door, relax and enjoy a spectacular night at Zumanity!

A Night at the Edge of the Water: “O” By Cirque Du Soleil



Maybe there is just something about the particular shade of blue that Cirque Du Soleil uses in their promotional material for “O” at The Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, but there is a deep coolness that touches your skin and draws you in to want to know what it is all about.  It had been about 8 years or so since I had seen the show from a seat that gave away a lot of secrets to how this masterpiece is achieved.  When I saw it again last week, I wished I had gone more often.

From what I remember about my first visit, some things in the show had changed.  Not surprising as shows are revamped from time to time.  For one, the sound in the theater is absolutely fantastic.  The music sounds larger than life and was crystal clear to this audio engineer’s ear.  The score by Benoit Jutras has some very ethnic touches among the ballads and power pieces that make a great balance and truly enhance the show.

Equally impressive is the talent on stage and the stage itself, which is constantly transforming.  The timing of the talent was virtually flawless and there are a lot of moving parts to this show.  A great deal of work goes into each and every one of these large scale productions but the water shows have another element (forgive the pun) altogether.

As if all that wasn’t enough, there is a perfect balance of music to show to comedy as a couple clowns bring levity when things are getting on the edge of too intense.

While a bit more expensive (that water doesn’t maintain itself, you know) than the majority of the rest of the shows, it remains a must see for Vegas.  For the best deals, check out www.cirquedusoleil.com and join the Cirque Club for free and doors to special pricing will be opened.

Warning… people in the first few rows may get wet…

#HappyPeopleMakeASafeWorld



There it is but what does it mean?  What does it mean to you?

Just a few days ago, my dear friend Magreeshi (http://www.magareeshi.com/) had an idea of sharing pictures drawn all over with washable sidewalk chalk.  She used the phrase #WetChalkMovement.  I thought it was brilliant and so did a lot of others who started painting their driveways and any available spaces with happy and beautiful pictures.  All kinds of photos and stories were sent in to show her that what she did had a positive impact on people.

I had been pondering for a while what I might be able to do to help bring peace to the world more than I have through my Mental Sauna and other music.  When Magreeshi sent this post out, I came up with #HappyPeopleDoNotHurtEachOther.  While that said what I wanted to say, it didn’t work the way I wanted it to. No matter how you say it, the focus is on hurting people.  I sent it out to a couple trusted people and got responses which eventually brought me to the title of this Blog.

Why didn’t the original version work when it said the same thing?  I strongly believe that specific language paints a picture so, to get the point across, you have to paint the picture in words that you want people to see.  Had I sent the first one, people would think about happy people committing acts of violence.  That wasn’t what I wanted at all.  I often think of Mother Theresa’s statement about refusing to support an anti-war rally but would always support a peace rally.  They both have the same goal but the focus of the former is still on war.  If you say anti-war, what do you picture?  Battle?  Body parts?  Tanks?  That’s exactly why it doesn’t work.  What do you picture when you think peace rally?

When you think about it, how many happy people go around hurting other people?  Not too many, right?  What do happy people do?  They want to stay in that feeling and make others feel good, too.  What do unhappy people do?  Speak louder and louder until someone else is as miserable as they are.  It has gotten even worse not that social media has given everyone a voice.  They have not always chosen to use it wisely.  Many of the posts I used to see are anger fueled, opinionated and some downright hateful.  What does this help?  Nothing.  These people are just speaking out and not doing anything to bring about any change, which is what #HappyPeopleMakeASafeWorld is all about.

When you have dried, caked on dirt in a glass, you can’t just pour it out and be done.  You have to run water through it to get the glass clean again, right?  Your mind is no different.  You have to filter out the bad things in your mind by flushing them out with good things.  I see #HappyPeopleMakeASafeWorld as the clear, clean liquid that can wash that dirt away.

I can’t do it alone. Please help me spread the word about this.  Let’s clean the dirt off the glass so we can see the beauty of the world through it.  Let go of the pointless hatred that isn’t doing anything but separating us all.  Cut out the news that is depressing and doesn’t tell you anything you need to know.  Take everything you can that makes you feel bad when you see it and get it out of your face.  Surround yourself with things that make you smile.  Some things you can do easily, others will take time.  One thing I did was change my home page to Google so I don’t see all the horrible things in the world that are going on first thing in the morning when I get on the internet to check my email since there is no news feed.  Some things are that simple.

Let’s all get together and make the world happy and safe.  Share it everywhere you can.  If you have ideas on how to expand on this, I would love to hear them.  Please leave a comment below.

Thank you and make today beautiful - for you and everyone else!
