-Are we programmed for civilized order, or uncivil destruction? Yesterday I was at the Tragically Hip concert in Bobcaygen Ontario. We were told that there is a free shuttle bus to take us to the concert venue that was about 15km away in a farm field. Upon arrival at the location to get on the bus, we were informed that the bus was no longer free and that we had to pay $5 and obtain a bracelet to get on a shuttle bus.

When the bus arrived everyone pushed their way to the front in a not so orderly fashion like a herd of cows rushing off a Slaughter truck. Have we been programmed to fight for what we want, or have we been a subject of destruction trying to impress and make a statement in front of our peers? If the concert organizers assured everyone that there would be mass waits for the concert shuttles and to get there early and be patient, we may not have had the problem of controlled chaos.

Once arriving to the 50 acres of open farm field with a mass crowd of about 25 000 people and a small stage at the bottom of the field, and barriers leading the concert enthusiast to a day of controlled disorder of waiting in hours of lines for food, beer, tickets, and washrooms. This all leading to a day of a first annual experience of the Big Music fest. Besides lines after lines and disorganization, in shipping the herds of people to and from the venue, I had a great time with friends and family.

I woke up this morning feeling great after all the non paleo drinks and had a feast of eggs and bacon. When the feast was done I ran to the dollar store and bought sidewalk chalk to use for me muscle ups:
