The world was quite Tuesday when everyone said their final goodbyes to The King of Pop, Michael Jackson. As 20,000 fans rolled in at the Staple Center in Los Angeles to give their thanks and prayers. Singers such as Lionel Ritchie, Stevie Wonder and a few others sang on stage to some of Michael's songs. People in the audience once the song was done yelled out how much they missed the King of Pop. The news even broadcasted from different parts of the world and the US which was really cool. The family gathered on stage to sing "We are the world". That was very emotional to handle. At the end of the ceremony, the family came on stage and said a few words and thanked everyone who showed up and thanked the fans. As for me, I played my forty-five record of thriller on my fisher price record player I had when I was a kid in memory of him.
The last couple of weeks it's been quite hot here in North Carolina and I normally get sinus infections in the spring or fall months. But I got one in the summer. My asthma has been quite a pain. There are days when I feel fine and days that the humidity is so bad that its kind of hard for me to breathe. I have what you call bronchial asthma. My sinuses have been a bit rough that I feel that everytime I blow my nose it feels like its going to fall off. (no offense Michael) Right now I've been taking every allergy pill known to man. But I am feeling alot better now. I guess its just a seasonal thing. Other then that The RBC Center is right around the corner and we will be starting off a new hockey season. I can't wait. The Durham Bulls ballpark has really helped me out this summer plus I enjoyed the people working out there and most of the fans too. This weekend, Seattle emailed me a letter telling me that they needed help at Raleigh's Downtown live show. Joan Jett is coming and is going to draw in a big crowd. So G-Gordon Liddy and I decided to make some extra money on the side. Plus it looks like easy work. I believe that G-Gordon Liddy will be applying for the security job that Seattle does and as for me I will be a greeter at the door and making sure no one brings in suspicious items as liquor or pot. Plus I get to stamp people who will be drinking if they are over twenty-one. Plus it would be nice to work with someone I already know at the RBC Center. Next week, Seattle and I are off to Asheville, North Carolina for three days. Since I've never been it would be cool to see some mountains and to explore new things and different towns. Plus its going to be nice to get away from the city and Ziggy for a while. It's been rough these past few years having a decent night's sleep and then Zigs waking you up in the middle of the night. So, I am going to be staying busy these next few weeks. Who knows what will happen next. |

I had a productive weekend. Saturday ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) somedayseattle had to work Raleigh Downtown. For those who don't know, it's a concert that is an all day event that begins at 1:30pm and has a bunch of bands that play music till 11:00pm. Plus its FREE! All you got to worry about is buying food and beer for yourself. So, downtown played The Tubes and Cracker. Since Seattle is a big fan of Cracker I decided to go with him and listen. I ended up inviting one of my friends from high school that I haven't seen in ten years. We hung out and discussed how school used to be, where everyone is now and what we are doing now. Sunday, I spent the day with Drama Queen and John Deere. Since Seattle had a disc golf tournament there was no reason for me to hang out at the apartment all day. Drama Queen picked me up and we headed out to do a few errands. We then headed back to her house where Rusty (her Boston Terrier) was happy that we were home. She showed me everything they have done to prepare for their wedding next month. We even went through some old photos and laughed at ourselves when we were just kids. By the end of the day, she drove me back home and Seattle and I discussed how our day went. Not to mention that tv show host Billy Mays died on Sunday. This has been one miserable month for celebrity deaths. |

You often see celebrity deaths come in threes but on various months. But this month in June it came all in one week. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, and now the king of pop Michael Jackson. All I can say is wow. Today on VH1 Classics and MTV they are playing old music videos and movies that Michael Jackson were in. I remember when I was a child I had the silver shiny socks and a small pin of Michael Jackson I wore on my jean jacket. I still to this day have the 45 record of thriller I am never going to get rid of. All these memories and it still is shocking. What are your memories you have of Michael Jackson? |

The first time I started working out at The Durham Bulls ballpark in Durham, North Carolina I thought it was going to be a piece of cake. All you do is hand out ice cream to all the fans and sometimes if your lucky have one of those ice cream carts set up at the first or third base line and watch a baseball game for free. As I car pool with my father G-Gordon Liddy sometimes I turn to him and say "These home games are sometimes a big stretch." He told me I was right. Sometimes working out there for one or two weeks straight before the team goes on a road trip can be a bit tiring. So this whole week I've been working and enjoying the time with my co-workers cracking jokes and watching people. I noticed that it's the middle of June and already its getting hotter outside. So much for those lazy days of summer. Now its those lazy "hazy" days of summer in North Carolina which everyone can't tolerate. Hopefully I can fight it now till August and then when September rolls around we'll finally be getting cooler weather again. Yesterday, I was giving one of my co-workers a break outside and I wasn't paying attention and someone yelled out foul ball and I looked up and it bounced out in one of the seats and landed near me up some one already grabbed it. I thought to myself crap I should have been outside tonight. Oh well, there's always next time. Anyways, nothing else has been going on with me. Seattle and I and a couple of people celebrated Blindmansblog birthday on Wednesday. Good times with friends and drinks and a good meal. It was nice. I also found out that my friends in New York that I went to middle school with are planning to have a ten year high school reunion. Since I left New York when I was thirteen it would be nice to see everyone again and see how their life has been since. But I already cheated and went on facebook and looked up half of my friends and found out. But as for now, I have to work the RBC Center tonight. It seems an Australia country singer named Keith Urban is playing and along side is a band called Sugarland. It's going to be fun people watching and best of all it's on a Friday night so maybe I'll be able to get some tips outta the drunks. (ha-ha). Maybe if I persuade them with my yankee southern accent they'll slip a few dollars on me. I guess we'll just see. |
