Working the Wiz: Another Recession Challenge

I was so behind at work, I had to go in for a few hours. Since I had to sit in front a computer to monitor applications, with about three hours of down time, I watched the film adaptation of the Wiz. The deaths of Richard Pryor, Nipsey Russell, and Michael Jackson and the age of the creation may make the production a classic, but it is still not make it a good movie.

Michael Jackson's Memorial

This service, just like Michael's talent and outlook on life moved me on so many levels. Thanks to the Jackson family for sharing Michael by allowing a public and televized service. The service was more than I expected. It was nowhere near a circus; far from flashy and flamboyant. What a classy, diplomatic, and dignified celebration. Michael's three children have a lot of loving arms surrounding them! I send love and light to family and other mourners and fans. The world is a better place because of Michael Jackson!

My Personal Tribute to Michael Jackson; "Your Butt is Mine"

Day 1 of not using profanity. Since Michael did not cuss; I have decided to try the same. How long can I go? This is Day 1. Check out Bad.

Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson, R.I.P.

Ed, you and Johnny helped me embrace my years living with insomnia. Mr. McMahon, thank you for providing comfort when I was alone.

Farrah Fawcett, you were the inspiration for my first "grown-up" hair style and the ONLY school photograph that made this camera shy girl, proud. Thank you for providing a model for me to enjoy being a girl.

Michael, you, the King of Pop have inspired me in so many ways. My VERY FIRST pop record was one of the Jackson 5. Now, I am a lover of music with a rather large collection. You played a major role in my life culture and my global view. Michael, thank you for your part in my becoming a world citizen.

Black or White

Today, we had an 80's theme at work. Last night, I pulled out some of my old LPs and chose to take the Thriller album to work today. When I received the news that Michael Jackson had died, I had not yet arrived home. I still had the "Thriller" album in the car with me. Although I felt an unfillable void; I sensed immediate closeness to Michael's spirit. At this time, I cannot identify the event; it was something other than a coincidence.

On a much happier note; I visited with my neighbors and their newborn. Even though both, Mom and Dad are Aggies, they and their children are the most adorable family.
