Michael Jackson

When I woke up this morning and learned that Farrah had died, I wasn't shocked. I was sad for her family, but I wasn't surprised as I knew she wasn't doing well. I WAS shocked to learn that Michael Jackson had passed away. It's such a weird thing. He was so brilliant but there was so much about his life that was eccentric and tragic. No matter what you thought of his personal life, whether he did or didn't do the things he had been accused of, no matter how oddly he dressed, he was a musical genious and I wish things had gone better for him. So sad. Rest In Peace Farrah and Michael.

Perez Hilton

I just don't know about this guy. He can be such a slimeball, consantly berating celebs about their hairstyles, weight (even though he himself has battled the bulge!!), significant others, the way they dress, every little minor detail about them. He says Beth Ditto(who is very obese) is awesome but calls someone with a slight tummy bump unhealthy. He is a constant hypocrit. Yet, sometimes he will be such a nice guy and tries to be an advocate for good causes. He's quite the annoying individual. While I don't promote violance, I can't say I feel very sorry for him for being punched by whoever he was punched by. It's true, no matter what you say, no one has the right to actually physicly harm you, but you know what? Don't be surprised if someone actually DOES try, because words do hurt people and there is only so much someone can take. And while we're being honest, Perez Hilton has NO room to talk about anyone else's weight, hairstyle, clothing choices or anything of that nature. Look in the mirror buddy. P.U.

Skateboard Parks

Skateboarding has come along way over the years. When I was younger it was just a bunch of kids practicing on the sidewalks, not very good, but giving it a try. Then they started having skateboard parks where all the skateboarders could go and play safely without the worry of cars or hurting other people by accident. Now you can even purchase skateboard ramps for your own backyard or driveway. You can get them at discount prices from Discount Ramps. They even have a pro half pipe.

Little House On The Prairie

So this episode is one that I have always thought was utterly heartbreaking. Albert and another young boy are down in the basement of the (blind school I think?), where they are set to totally remodel and add an addition on to the buidling. The boy has swiped someone's pipe and convinces Albert to take a hit from it. They both cough and sputter and are startled when someone calls them upstairs for dessert. They leave the pipe, still lit, down stairs in a basket of what appears to be clothes as they head upstairs, complely forgetting about it. Later in the evening a fire starts and then the horror begins. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykQlkpiuxdc
