New Linux distro review!! http://www.newlinuxuser.net
Well, it’s been quite the strange couple of days with the deaths of two celebrity icons, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Of course, Farrah’s passing was not a surprise considering she has been battling cancer for years. The big surprise was of course, Michael Jackson’s death, of which the circumstances are not yet known, as his body has been flown in for an autopsy.
Normally, I could care less about celebrity events (not that I wish anyone dead) but these two people have had more of an impact on society than most people.
First of all, Michael Jackson was known and loved by millions across the globe; considering this was about 20 years before internet social networking, that is a pretty big deal. I can remember being creeped out by the Thriller video, which most people my age were upon seeing it the first few times. It was like watching a short horror movie that was pretty good at the time. I will remember that just for the fact that I could be creeped out by a horror-movie lol..(it takes a lot). Not only that, but as someone who has an appreciation for talent in the fine-arts, Michael Jackson had a dancing ability that made him the Baryshnikov of the pop world. As to his private life, of course there were a few allegations of child molestation that haunted his career. I will not say, no..never! because sometimes you just never know about a person but I feel that he was innocent of these crimes. I fully believe that his accusers were either themselves doing it for money or their parents were coercing them to do so. The reason I think this is because, looking over all the weird things MJ was known for doing (like song-writing from high up in a tree) I think he ended up regressing to his childhood years. He never really got to have a normal childhood and in fact, spent much of it on the road as part of the Jackson Five. I think all the things he did, from Neverland to having kids over all the time was just a reflection of the child he didn’t get to be. Who knows?
As far as Farrah Fawcett is concerned, we all knew this was coming as she had been deteriorating in condition for quite a while. I can only hope she at last was married to Ryan O’Neal and that she was able to spend time with her son before she went. I admire her (and the other angels) for their parts in pioneering the field of television for women. Charlie’s Angels was a show about empowered, strong and independent women who could more than take care of themselves at a time when most TV women were housewives.
And so ends my nostalgic foray into my childhood memories lol.
Tony is on fire again!!! After being in first position at the road course this weekend, he was passed for the win by Kasey Kahne! Congrats to Kasey who has been winless a long time now. Can’t begrudge him for his win and Tony came in second!!! Holy Cow!! Could this be Tony’s year for championship number 3? I sure hope so!!!
Holy shit! Tony is 4th in the lineup for the Sunday race at Sonoma. What does that mean? Well, typically, and I do hate to say this out of fear of ‘racing blasphemy’ but Tony is not all that great of a qualifying driver. Sometimes I think that he just doesn’t care because he knows that unless he’s driving a piece of crap, he is marching toward the front (what he does best) so to see that Tony qualified 4th?? whoa! The rest of the field better look out because usually that indicates that Tony is sitting on top of a rocket! Good luck Sunday Tony!! Win it!
I really hope the judge in this case understands that he does not have a simple case of a teenager who has done wrong but that this is a very obvious symptom of someone who is already a sociopath.
That’s right, Tony Stewart just won his first Sprint Cup points race today, the first owner/driver to win a race since 1998!!!! Way to go Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate Jimmie Johnson because he is the only serious competition for Tony Stewart. Tony nearly won his first points race in Dover last weekend but with a Talladega style finish, Johnson overtook him for the win. DAMMIT!!!! I really wanted this for Tony but hey TONY STEWART IS THE POINTS LEADER IN THE SPRINT CUP CHASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That’s right! Oh yeah! (Okay sorry)
Where was I? Oh, yes, the fact that Jimmie Johnson gets on my very last nerve. Yes, he’s a great driver no doubt about it. But I want Tony to WIN dammit..so Jimmie get outta the way!!!!
I am soooooooooooo happy for Tony Stewart who just won his first ever NASCAR All-Star race!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tony just keeps getting better and better…I can’t wait to see what happens when Tony gets into the “zone” (the point during the summer where he seems unbeatable) This is the first All-Star race that an owner/driver has won since Ricky Rudd in 1998!!!!
All the haters, now what!
Tony keeps getting better and better every time he gets behind the wheel, and the crazy part is that he isn’t even into his “winning time” yet, that part of midsummer when Tony can’t do anything but take 1st..2nd place in the Cup so far, you can do it this year for sure, Tony!!!
It seems like I keep saying it but I figured I would do it one more time. I apologize for anyone I have been neglecting in favor of getting my band’s new website up and running. You are being neglected for a good cause, I promise. The website is now up and running. Stop by and you’ll know what took me so long lol
