Distant lights blurred

I was taking some pics at work last night so I didn't have a tripod. This pic came out blurry but I like the effect with the lights.

That is not blur. That is just a miss-focused. If you put your cam in live view set your lens to it's closest focusing distance and slowly focus you can see how the OOF highlights will be rendered at all distances.

Sorry, but it just looks out of focus to me. It's not very interesting in my opinion.
