I don't get it

Michael Jackson amoung others died this last weekend. I personally took the death of Billy Mays the hardest. He cracked me up, but he is getting the least attention, mostly becuase, well the star power of the other deaths. This is what I don't get, and not to be cold, but they are all has beens. As in they have been famous or popular, but they're no longer contributing to the very thing that made them famous.

Ed Mc. died, while sad he was in his late eighties and sick, so this is less than suprizing, and hasn't generated all that much media coverage, so this just sucks.

Farrah died. She was very ill for a very long time, and if you're a person of faith you can think she is in a better place, and if your not, you can think at least her pain has ended.

Michael Jackson. I get that he was the king of pop. Was being the most important thing here. In past 15 years or so, he has been in the news for nothing good. Everyone on my tv is talking like we lost a genius and music will never be the same. Well, hasn't anyone noticed that he hasn't been producing relevent popular music in a very long time. The music industry is the same today as it was last tuesday. I never liked his music, not really my ball of wax, but it is still there. I can listen to Bad, or Billie Jean, or Scream. Okay that last one was listed to make a point it was on his latest record but no one knows.

I was driving into the office and on npr they were interviewing someone that flew from france to stand in line in harlem to see the apollo theatre.

I guess if there is a lesson to be learned here it is this, don't take today for granted. Celebrate today for what you have, don't morn the loss of the past.

Things I've learned

So for about the last 16 years or so, I have known that I know very little about what women want. They're obfuscating creatures whose motives remain a mystery to me. I had always assumed that this started around the same time that I started caring to know what women liked.

Well, as I now have a daughter, I have had several ephinays. Among these is that I am a touch more fusty than I would have liked to belive. However that is not the point of this post the point of this post, Is the lesson I learned while holding my wailing daughter. I do everything I can think of and she screams like a siren. Here mom doesn't seem to have this problem.

I have learned I have I no idea what women want, stems from them being born, not from my actually caring to figure out what they want.

that just doesn't seem right

I am being a concerned father and I am worried that my little girl is going to fall to peer pressure and at best be a Broncos fan and at worst not like football. Ah, the thought gives me the chills, anyway, to install good sense in her at a young age I was over at http://www.babyfans.com/ looking through the selection of appropriate Steelers merchandise. I see several sleepers and a mobile some socks and this item.

It is 16.95 and while it is a sweet item do i really need a leash for my baby? Am I doing this parenting wrong? Or is this just a poorly placed product? No where in the what to expect in the first year book does it mention getting a leash for the girl. Maybe that is in one of the adanced books, like the how to prepare your wife to send your baby to military school or something like that.

Also since abby is clueless (at least as far as all things iron maiden) this is eddie
