Wow cool! Not that death is all that awesome, but 2 really great things came from the passing of the "King of Pop" :




1. While vacationing, i found out through mass text messages that Farrah Fawcett & Michael Jackson died on the eve of my birthday, weirdness. On my actual b-day, we went out to this bar that had an awesome DJ spinning classic MJ tunes all night long. It was virtually impossible to avoid Michael Jackson all weekend, which is fine because i dig his music, and obviously could do without what he did with mannequins and little boys. Additionally, they had a huge projection screen playing video footage of some really old concert, and then the DJ was pretty cool about turning the whole celebration of life business into this huge positive unity vibe and the importance of being loving and accepting. I got hugs from people i never met, hugs from friends and new friends and this super nice old man told me i was beautiful (and he wasn't even asking for spare change, wow!)




2. Friends on the news! Way to go hiphop dancin' Val :)
