Michael Jackson is Dead

I was a little surprised to see the news this morning that Michael Jackson was dead. The story was broken by gossip site TMZ but was unconfirmed by other sources. So I didn’t take it too seriously. I mean, how many celebrities past their use-by date create some headline to make themselves newsworthy? But it has been confirmed.

I guess the autopsy would make interesting reading. That is, if only they could cut the body open.

There was a report that he had skin cancer. I’m afraid that that wouldn’t have killed him as it wasn’t his skin so he would have been unaffected.

There’s no truth to the rumour that Michael Jackson has faked his own death so that he can move to Thailand where he can actually afford the little boys. None whatsoever.

What a climax to his life though. A warped talent that he was. Now hear this – I’m almost certain that one of his albums will be No. 1 somewhere within three weeks. His album sales will be huge in the coming month and the record companies won’t be able to churn them out quickly enough. That’s probably just what he needed to pay off his debts – die.

Proof That Not All Weirdos Support The Eagles Or Dockers

Saturday was derby day in Perth. The two local AFL clubs, the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Dockers were playing their 25th twice-annual grudge match. A lot of people that follow these teams I would classify as weirdos. But, that's just me.

Dropped Yu-Jin off at taekwondo and had some shopping to do. Normally Coles is bustling with people but it was strangely quiet. "Aha!" I thought, "Derby today". I expected to see quite normal people in the store. But most of them were social misfits and strange looking people (I blended in quite well). It shocked me a little to conclude that not all the weirdos in Perths support the Eagles or Dockers.
