Rest in Peace Michael

I don't know why Michael's death moves me so. Perhaps because we are the same age. Perhaps because I grew up watching him grow up. Whatever. He was a brilliant and talented and somehow damaged man, and I am sorry that he is gone.

He had such a gift and yet it was completely overshadowed by the darker events in his life.

It's been sad to follow him in the news for the last decade. And sadder today that he is gone.

Thank you. This is one of the most fitting blog posts that I have seen about MJ so far.

I don't know what else to say except that I echo your sentiments, and that I felt this the only blog post worth commenting on regarding the subject.

It bothered me, too. I know he had problems and if, in fact, he did hurt his accusors in ANY WAY then he absolutely deserves the shaming that comes his way. That said, I can compartmentalize his genius. I put that in a different box where the shadow of his tarnished self cannot cast a shadow. One part of him deserves all the veneration he gets and another part deserves, if not pity...then reproach for his enablers. I know they were legion.

Embarrassing Personal Revelation #892

Joni Mitchell once wrote, "All I really, really want our love to do is to bring out the best in me and in you, too." It didn't. My partner and I have separated. We tried. We really tried. I am embarrassed to admit this. I even considered erasing this blog from the internet so that I would not embarrass myself or her. But my whole purpose in blogging was to have some kind of a community where I could be open and explore my writing in a personal way. You have shared the good things with me. You have seen my ugly 5K Ass Project photos. It would feel cowardly to just disappear. Plus, I could use the support.

Excerpt from student paper today: Being politically correct is a way that we speak here in America so that we don’t offend any whining babies. Only pathetically weak people that don’t have the balls to say what they feel and mean are politically correct [idiots]. Society and the media have made it to where people are now afraid to say what they actually mean. Comedians are now the only people who actually speak the truth about society. Except now even Saturday Night Live wont put anything that is not politically correct for fear that some left wing idiot will throw a fit a make NBC apologize. At this point in her reading of this cogent argument, my boss said, "does he realize you will be reading this paper?" Oh yes. And it gets better! Today’s society has become way to obsessed with how things need to be right and to make people feel better. The correct term these days for garbage man is a sanitation engineer. No, a garbage man is no kind of engineer he has no college degree...

First comes love. . .

Then comes doing our level best to destroy the family. Susan and I sat cross-legged on our bed last night and swore our undying love for one another. No witnesses, no music, no officials; just two happy gals staring into one another's eyes. I am very happy. It's funny, wearing this ring has made me a little self-conscious; I spent the day feeling like I had a neon sign on my forehead that said, "Look at my finger!" My office mate Mark said he felt the same way after he got married. Symbols are powerful things for English majors. Now if only I could claim her on my health insurance. "We learn to love by loving."
