wiggle when they walk

guys, I have some bad news.

Michael Jackson died. I put his death in the category of Jerry Garcia, Elvis Presley, and Chris Farley, as in, "who would have thought those health-nuts would've kicked off early?". David Crosby, this is your future.

It's actually pretty sad. really the first celebrity death I've been alive to have been truly touched by. my friend Annabel is angry that that MJ dies and it's like he's been canonized and everyone has forgot about the molestation charges and other wacko stuff he's been accused of. my friend Annabel also has a stick up her ass (but is amazing). the way I look at it, is the same way my not friend Dave Chappelle put it:

woman, talking about black celebrity criminals: "And what about Michael Jackson? do you believe he did it?" (referring to the molestation charges).

Dave Chappelle: "of course not. I mean, he made Thrilla. *softly* Thrilla.

woman: "so you'd be comfortable letting your kids share a bed with him then?"

DC: "fuck no! are you crazy?"

*speaking of Dave Chappelle, he recently did a not-so-secret midnight stand-up performance in portland, that thousands of people showed up to. it only lasted an hour, because apparently only the first row could hear him. come back Dave. so perhaps dying youngish was the only way MJ could put a glittering halo back on his legacy. if he died of natural causes at age 80 I'm not sure his albums and singles would be dominating the charts the way they are now. I confused his funeral for the BET Awards. he is that hot again. of course, we all know he never was NOT hot. klassic.

*the past few weeks I have only worked 30 hours or a little bit less, due to illness/weakness. while I miss the extra cash, it's been nice. this coming week is back to a monday-friday full time schedule though. that is if things work out how I want them to.

*I wish I hadn't joked so much about my sister's pregnancy and how bad it sucks because now she's been in and out of the hospital with complications. while whatever happens will surely happen, it's a sad time for all involved.

*summers should have soundtracks. there is usually an album or two that becomes 'the' soundtrack to my summer. I don't really feel that way this summer, at least not yet. mostly I'm just listening to a lot of Rush, Luscious Jackson, and the new Phoenix. maybe that'll be the summer jam actually

ummm I have to go watch true blood now.
