I didn't really get to see much of Ted Kennedy's funeral last week and although I'm no great lover of the Kennedy's I believe credit should be given where credit is due.
Although I thought the funeral was a little over the top,and chances are good we has the tax payers, probably helped fund a good portion of it.
40 years of public service is something to be commended and standing up for ones beliefs is also a good thing,even if most of his beliefs were not mine.
A life lived well is a good thing and although,like most of us,we all have bad and good in our lives and some peoples bads are worse then others,none of us can cast stones when we all live in glass houses.
So may Senator Kennedy rest in peace and may his family feel comfort in knowing he is with his beloved family.

Michael Jackson
I have finally had the time to sit and listen to some of the things about Michael Jackson.His talent was only exceeded by his odd behavior and sad lifestyle.
When I think of this man I remember how talented he was even as a child,a fabulous singer and dancer a gentle a quite man who was in such need of love that he reached out and embraced people who tried to suck the life out of him.
His abusive father,unloving mother,lack of a childhood and need to please all around him.
Some where along the line his gifts and talents became lost in a lifestyle of pain and drug abuse.
I remember him at his best with his brothers dancing and singing and his thriller years.Top in his form and able to make clear rational decisions.
He seemed to always have a sad air about him looking beyond his family members at something that the rest of us were unable to see then instantly smiling when a camera flashed his way as if on cue
This is a person who deserves to rest in peace because all his talent and money in the end never brought him the happiness he needed a sad and lonely figure with a ghoulish face that looked like something out of batman and the dark knight.
I guess in the end a person with so much talent can never live all their life in one life time.So many dimensions and so few ways to truly express them all. This was a talent whose light faded away to soon.No matter how you look at it 50 is way to young to die for any one super star or not.
