What a day.....

Woke up late, hour late getting into the office.....listening to Good Morning America while getting dressed (as usual) they were promoting a special scheduled for tonight on Farrah Fawcett and touting how poorly she was doing. The comment was even made that she wasn't expected to live through the day.......

Around noon it was posted through various media sources that she had indeed passed away.

Later in the afternoon a coworker commented that she was seeing online where Michael
Jackson had been rushed to the hospital in cardiac arrest. I wondered out loud if he would be the next as deaths tend to occur in threes......Ed McMahon earlier in the week and then FF earlier in the day.

I got in my car to leave Joey's after stopping to pick up adhesive to hear the DJ talking about the passing of Michael Jackson.

Several media outlets have had almost nonstop coverage of MJs death, even playing and replaying the tape of his body being taken to the coroner's office for autopsy.

The similarities between Elvis' death and MJ hit me.....

Elvis: King of Rock
MJ: King of Pop

Elvis: preparing for a comeback tour at the time of his death
MJ: preparing for a comeback tour at the time of his death

Elvis: dead from a heart attack
MJ: dead from a heart attack reportedly...

Elvis: fans gathered in large crowds to mourn together and lots of media coverage

Elvis: died in the bathroom
MJ: wonder what room he was found in.....

MJ married to Elvis' daughter at one time....


So that's my observations of a strange day......now to gather my things together so I can create with Debby Schuh the next two days!
