…for all the beautiful birthday wishes.  Birthday party was last Saturday and we had a wonderful time.  Since then I’ve had a crazy week at work, still waiting on my 2nd paycheck and I’m just trying to enjoy this weekend. We get my niece today so that should be a highlight.

So much has happened this week it seems with the death of Michael Jackson.  I’ve been following it closely as he always fascinated me, with his talent, personality and what seemed like an innocence about him… I just find it all so sad that he grew up never knowing what a normal kid’s life was like, suffering the mental and physical abuse as a kid and always being in the public eye since the age of 5, always striving for more and more because that seemed like the only thing that made him complete and he usually got it…. but Michael just goes to show that someone who is surrounded by people 24/7 can still seem lonely and sad.  Almost every interview of him he talks about how much he was hurt by the reporters and the tabloids with almost a childlike innocence… The man had more money than God even with all the debt he was in and still never seemed happy.  Just goes to show you that money can’t buy you love.  Also, what becomes of his children now?  You know that people are going to try and swoop up custody not for the best interest of the children, but for a grasp of their inheritance.  The man never seemed to have a moment’s peace, so I can only hope he does now in death.  He had more talent in his pinky toe than I can ever hope to have, so RIP Michael Jackson.  You deserve a rest… Lord knows you influenced and entertained the world enough throughout your lifetime.

Anyways, that’s enough from me.  I’m a bit manic this morning, so don’t mind my rambling.  I’ve been up since like 7 a.m. and didn’t go to sleep till 2 a.m. last night… and I’m just not tired enough to go back to bed.  Hope all is well here in DT land.  XOXO
