I just don't get it...

I am getting fed up with the people who refuse to move from the high-speed lane on the highway to the travel lane. I mean seriously you CANNOT go 45-50 in the high-speed lane…you are messing up the entire flow of traffic for anybody with half a brain! And I suppose for those of you participating in this frustrating act you wouldn’t understand how infuriating it is so this really is falling on deaf ears but it’s a point worth making for my piece of mind...

Michael Jackson

Today I watched video footage of Michael Jackson’s last days of concert rehearsal before his untimely death. He was still quintessentially, Mike. In all the ways that you could possibly think of, he looked good. Healthy, alert and going strong…which we now know was a bit of a façade. But like all of the greats that we have ever come to “know” we have found that we never really know them entirely. The dancing was immaculate and so innovative, a few of the new songs displayed were socially conscience with a great hook and poppy beat. It was all we could have ever wanted or asked for from the man himself, at least in my humble opinion. It made me reflect back on my life and all the moments I had linked to Mike. It made me very emotional and made me really for the first time appreciate all that he was to the world, this country, and the average person. He appealed to everybody old, young, black, white, rich and poor. And that is something no matter who you are and what your controversy story might be of him you can’t deny. He was a man of the people even when he stepped back from them. A man. A performer. A legend.

Confused

So with the advice from a wise friend I decided to switch gears. That is from Twitter to blogging. More or less because the idea of being short and concise is a little bit too much for me to grasp. But in the process of doing this whole bit I was feeling a bit overwhelmed...for a girl with so much technology I sure could use a day of figuring out how to put it all to work with the most potential. In any case here goes...

Today was a great day aside from the ridiculous amount of rain and wind that came down upon us. I mean for the love of God how much more can we possibly take?? July 1st and I'm wearing a sweater, pants and closed toe heels to the office!! C'mon! But I digress...I did get to have a nice lunch with my sister Kate and a lovely family dinner out with the Mama and Kate. And as odd is it may sound it was nice to organize and clean up the room that somehow turns out to be a complete cyclone if I don't pick up everything the minute I use it...
