Michael Jackson's death is sad, okay...I get that. But damn how I hate watching people who never knew the man, mourning and crying and holding vigil.
People: GET A LIFE!
There are many many great people in this world, most of them are never famous. They go through life quietly inspiring others, they help family and friends, they live honestly, show compassion. They are good people...your neighbors.
It may be vulgar to put it this way, but ever single human being in this world shits. We are just humans. A few years ago Andy Rooney was in the local grocery store and my response was: "I don't believe in famous people."
Fact is...some people will be more famous than others, but we all have a resonsiblilty to being good people. To being fair, honest, compassionate. To living right and mindfully.
I guess I will never get the preoccupation with famous people. My parents raised me to believe all humans were equal; that I would no more bow down for my neighbor as I would the pope or the queen of England.
That's just my two cents on this Saturday afternoon.
