Happy Birthday, Michael
Today is Michael Jackson's birthday. He would have been turning 51 if he didn't die on June 25. Though, the last fifteen years of his life was bitter to me and I don't have too many things to say, I will say this: I want to remember the good time. I don't wanna think of him as an emotionally unstable man, weird, or an alleged pedophile. I want to remember as the gifted fronter of the Jackson 5. I want to remember his as the man who wowed the world with his moonwalk. I want to remember him as the entertainer who made me, as a 6-year-old, eager to watch his then-new music video. This is all I will say...
happy birthday, Michael.
I CAN'T READ OR WRITE!
At work, I entered the office to sign in and I was informed we were not allowed to read books, magazines, newspapers, or
anything. Being a person who likes to write in her journal, I'm not allowed to write.
This is outrageous! I like to read and write! What will we be allowed to do on our free time?! Look at the fucking wall?! Before I go on, I work as an outside operation agent. For those who fly often, sometimes there isn't always a jetbridge attached to the airplane. Our job -- especially since there's more than one plane -- is to lead passengers to the correct aircraft and to lead them into the terminal when they arrive to Chicago. Anyway, the thing is that there is frequent downtime. So, in the meanwhile we entertain ourselves by reading or writing. Now, that opinion is taken away. We can't exercise our minds. We would be the last people to know of current events. If a student needed to study on the sidelines, they are out of luck. In my opinion this job sees us as robots, not human beings. I should go maverick on them.

Last Thursday, when I was at work, I was speaking to a flight attendent. She mentions her mother has a new boyfriend, however, the flight attendent is not happy with the union. I asked why. She says partially due to the fact that her mother is 82 and her lover is 46. Though, her 82-year-old mother is healthy, active, independent, and youthful for her age, the relationship seems odd to the daughter...along with the belief that the 46-year-old is using her for money. I thought the story was strangely interesting. I told her before my birth, my parents got together despite their 32-year age difference. My mother was her early 30's, while my dad was in his early 60's. My paternal half-siblings were sicken by the relationship from the beginning, especially due their own mother's sudden death and the alleged affair shortly before. My then 12-year-old maternal half-brother wasn't pleased about it, either. However, with him being a minor, he had no say. Me, I opened to the flight attendent, telling that I was struggling with a man in his early 60's having feelings for me. She said something was wrong with him. I couldn't agrue a bit...it's all too weird.

:| Now, I'm not talking about
all straight couples, but I think
some if not many take marriage for granted. Some heterosexuals who are in a serious, live-in relationship (not to mention sometimes with children) choose not to marry due to lack of interest, having no belief in marriage, or afraid of things not being the status quo afterwards. There's probably other reasons, but the ones listed were just my opinions. Personally, I'm a little old-school, traditional, and a little religious. I don't understand why these people won't marry. What's holding you back? Some gay couples
wish they had the right to marry. Also, you can
save money, according to what Suze Orman said. However, it just my opinion and random thought.
