what a day....

michael jackson and farrah fawcett? both stars dead, in one day? whoa. too much to take in. every headline i see is about mj. the king of pop. dead at 50. the world will never be the same. dont get me wrong. i love me some michael jackson, but seriously? what about our troops who are fighting tooth and nail, getting KILLED for the iraqi people's freedom? or the uproar going on in iran? and the whole nuclear warfare business going on in japan? and hear we sit, allowing michael jackson to take over our facebook pages, our newscast headlines, and radiostations, bc suddenly this is waaayyy more important. it seems a bit ridiculous to me. i dont know, maybe im missing something. like i said, its sad-he was a wonderful musician, but really. i can think of sooo many things that should grace the attention he is getting.....i wont lie, there have been several times i have said outloud tonight, 'i cant believe hes dead', but then on my way home from jae's soccer game, all that was on the radio was michael jackson, and when i went to cnn.com to check the new-which i do every night, there was no 'news' headlines, just mj tributes. and facebooks-all mj stuff. but in the midst of his scandals, everyone was right there to slander him at the drop of a dime. huh. just sayin. i just think we all have our heads in the wrong place. everyone. me included....but what do i know....

moving along.....

my sister jenni had her baby!!! and, for the first time EVER, my prediction was WRONG...she had a boy. yay! so she now has 2 girls and a boy. michael john. very excited to have another nephew, and another nephew soon to come in the next week or so....eek!

on this day, i lost a great friend several years ago. she was a twin. she was a ray of sunshine to many people. she had a laugh that could make a whole room light up, and a personality that was amazing. she was in this world for a short time, but during that time, she touched so many lives. her death was tragic to many, but it brought our group together in a way that one could never imagine. she remains in the hearts of us all- and i smile thinking about her, the memories and the love she brought us all. you are missed b.c.s, you are missed.
