Enough Already.

Michael Jackson died.
Yes.
The King of Pop is dead.
Yes.
Moving on now...oh no. No-wait-ah yes this qualifies as a celebrity death that requires a burial with more attendance than a Deceased president's or more facebook status updates than the Obama election. Yes, this man, woman, whatever he wanted to be, child diddler person achieved more google hits, song downloads, and magazine memorials than any person I have ever seen. I wasn't a big fan of Michael's. I liked him when he was a cute little kid

Look at how adorable he was. And black. And male. He was normal as far as an audience member could see. I enjoyed songs such as "ABC" and "I'll Be There". Ok, so normal songs basically. Then as he progressed to this....

I found myself to still like his music, like "Smooth Criminal". This is my favorite Michael Jackson song EVER. I have the version by Alien Ant Farm too. Other than that, Thriller, not interested. I know, it's orobably a sin somewhere in the Bible that says, thou shalt love Thriller but in all honesty, the dance moves were not complex, he was just that type of performer that performed such simple dance steps with overexaggerating finesse and emotion. Honestly, look at the video. Go, I'll wait here and you can watch it. Now go look at a Chris Brown or Usher music video..yeah..little bit more intricate if I do say so myself. Billie Jean, not my cup of tea. Although, David Cook did a beautiful rendition of it on American Idol a couple seasons ago. So, besides giving me the motivation to learn the moonwalk, I never really felt connected to him as say..Heath Ledger. :)

*He was also a father. Hearing Paris Michael speak of her father at his memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, it was clear that no matter what he did or what he was accused of, he meant the world to this little girl and he should be left in peace. I know if it were my dad I would ask for the same.

Moving On..

Roger Federer.

Really? Really Roger?

I can't stand Roger Federer.

He is almost just too good. He's the equivalent to the 1990's New York Yankees. Unbeatable when in the high pressure situations which is what all tennis is, especially Wimbledon. On the opposition, I am in love with Andy Roddick. I have been a fan of Andy since I was about ten or eleven. This was when I stopped taking tennis lessons at the YMCA. Irony, I know. Anyway, he had come up to reach huge stardom and then pretty much fell off the face of the earth for some time before finally hiring a new coach, shedding fifteen pounds and came up with a new approach to the game. One, that led him tothe Wimbledon Finals. I was cheering on not only Andy Roddick but Andy Murray as well in the beginning. I was obviously conflicted when they played each other but alas the underdog came out on top. So naturally, being an American I rooted for Andy Roddick when he played Roger. Fourteen Grand Slam title were working against Andy and the beat him but nonetheless he put up a Hell of a fight and I am proud of him. It's been a long fan relationship but I can finally say with pride after many years of being mde fun of (sorry Andy) that I am a proud Andy Roddick fan.
