Only in things like this, the online blogging tool, can one actually hit a reset button. Well, sort of. So, what in the seven oceans am I talking about? I have finally archived my old entries off of the readable internet face. Now, I am starting anew and hopefully my entries will be a little less melodramatic. Sometimes I get so carried away with how I feel right then and there, or here and now. My objectivity gets blurred by the cascading emotions that are rushing forward, which in a sense is fine because isn't that why the blogging phenom flourished? Because we are all just humans. Wanting to write away our emotions hoping that in the end we will feel better.

So moving forth. I'm fully determined to usher those raw feelings into my writing so that someday, in the near future I hope, I will become a published writer. And not just some aspiring wannabe who's only appeared in some publication in high school.

Okay, on to the, I guess, main dish of my ranting here. I can't resist it. I must fall inline with the rest of the world here. I just have to lash out my opinion on the recent catastrophe that hit the entertainment industry. Yes, I am talking about the unfortunate sudden death of Pop King Michael Jackson. Indeed, the man whose hits such as Thriller, Billie Jean, and so on had been played over and over again in countries throughout the world. True that I'm not a huge fan, but it is still undeniable that his talents has inspired artists that I admire. Plus he himself is a legend. Creating music videos and of course his dance steps. While I can't fully say that we should overlook the 'bad' things he has done, I still sympathize for the man. Many remember him as the 'guy who dangled a baby on the balcony of some hotel in Germany' or perhaps the 'guy who molested young boys'. My typical excuse of it being human nature doesn't suffice as a reason. We may not fully know what he was thinking, but we speculate like the humans that we are. When I hear the name Michael Jackson, I think of several things: the mentioned labels, the spoof in one of the Scary Movie, but most importantly, a music legend that has set such a standard throughout the music industry that perhaps no one can surpass. I mean come on, the man's a genius, and was able to capitalize on his talents. I do hope that he is remembered in the most positive light possible.

I watched a couple of movies on Thursday, and probably will try to post some reviews. In the mean time, back to re-organizing. But on a side note, I read in a previous entry of mine that I supposedly do not believe in having regrets. Perhaps, it's true. I try not to dwell too much in the mistakes I make, but at the same time, it's not such a completely true statement. When I know I fail on something, I really do think hard about that.
