My poor little blog is suffering as of late.
I’m going to blame it one the rain.
I mean, seriously was NY transported to Seattle unknowingly? On one hand, I’m grateful because my garden is thriving! On the other hand, not seeing the sunlight has really messed with me. I NEVER want to get up in the morning. It’s not good. Plus, I feel cheated out of a large portion of my summer. Summer in New York is truly magical. And it’s been raining everyday, so that sucks the life out of you and makes it impossible to attend concerts, movies in the park, etc. Plus, when it rains on the weekends that is just lame.
On another unrelated note, I’m so fascinated with how people are reacting to the passing of Michael Jackson. I admit I was shocked when I heard it yesterday at work. It seems that everyone around the world knew him and has a memory associated with his music. Whether it was making up dances to his songs as a kid, attending one of his concerts, break-dancing to his songs on old cardboard boxes, watching him moonwalk across a stage, remembering “We are the World,” or just being fascinated and/or horrified with his life being played out on TV in front of the entire world. He truly was the king of pop.
Unfortunately, we also can’t forget about: “blanket”, the face masks, the accusations, the surgeries, the marriages, Neverland, the Martin Bashir documentary…I could go on and on. But, despite how his life ended up, my heart goes out to his family and I know that he’s in a better place, free from the pain he experienced on this earth.
The cool thing is that people seem to be really remembering the good that he brought to our lives through his musical talents. I’ve been listening to “All Michael, All the Time” today from an online radio station today work and it’s been great. I may even stop by union square on my way home to check out one of the many vigils happening around the city.
