I'm Back!!

It's been a while since I've blogged. I've been busy working on some other projects. I've meant to blog but just kept putting if off and now it's been well over a month. Last night I went with my Mama and we watched Julie and Julia. Long story short Julie blogs everyday for a year. I've decided to see if I can blog everyday for week. I don't think I've blogged two days in a row, so this will be quite a challenge for me.
I'm calling it the "Week of Bon". I really don't have much to talk about. Not much has really happened on the home front. Since my last blog Michael Jackson died. It's not really topical anymore and it's been waaaay overdone on TV etc. But I do have some observations on the topic. It caught me as odd that so many people swept that last fifteen years or so under the rug. First of all the guy is just a plain weirdo. The guy looks like a wax statue at the Roswell Alien Museum! How can anybody take the guy seriously? Second, what about that little boys thing? When he died you just heard a bunch of tributes and everybody pretended that none of that ever happened. The Michael Jackson that everybody liked has been gone since 1987!! Why is everybody crying now? The guy has been a recluse for damn near two decades? His cultural relevance since then has been being a punch line for late night TV. What surprised me most was how upset African-Americans were about the who thing. I get he was black at one point and he had some sort of skin pigmentation thing going on that played a roll in him turning himself white, but he turned himself white!!! Did he have to straighten his afro? Did he have to get rid of his nose? Did he have to have white kids? For me this would be like Garfield going through numerous surgeries to make himself look like Odie. Then adopt two puppies. Then marry Lisa Marie Presley. Then start fondling puppies. In other words a complete betrayal. No way I would keep claiming the guy as my own.
