I have been on the phone all weekend with Verizon, trying to troubleshoot my internet, and now they have to send a technician out tomorrow!!
Hopefully, I will be back up and running soon!!
Ever since I got this new computer with Windows 7, I have had nothing but problems!!
ARRRGHHHHHHHH!!
Okay, so as I am writing this, I see my internet light is out again on the modem, so I can't even post this.........
Will try as soon as the light blinks back on!!
Wish me luck!!!
I stood before the grave of my dear departed friend, and looked at the tombstone, memories of good years gone by floated through my mind. Not all the memories were happy ones, but they became alive as I looked down at the earth. My experience was uplifting, and I was glad I visited the cemetery.
A cemetery is a sacred place, and it is open not only for burial, but also for visits. People are buried there by their loved ones, so they should not be forgotten. Bones in a cemetery bring back memories of living years; those living years are remembered by those that care. The value of a human being might be weighed in the way their body is treated after they are gone, being disposed of in an unmarked grave might state something about the dead and their relationships to others. I loved my departed that is why the dead body was not ignored, and it received a dignified burial.
A bone-yard is a place where human bones are buried; the bones come in all sizes and shapes. People who think human bones should be thrown into a garbage dump go there to dispose of their waste. The graves are unmarked, and whatever is buried there is soon forgotten. Animal as well as human bones fill the ground, and only an expert can tell what they are. Mixed with the bones are all sort of waste, and some would call it a garbage dump rather than a bone-yard. Few would call it a cemetery.
A bone-yard has its place in the world, not everybody deserves to be positively remembered. They were cruel to others, and never tried to be helpful. Why waste the expensive grounds of a modern cemetery with remains gladly forgotten? A cemetery is a place where good memories live and those graves will always be visited. The bone-yard and the garbage dump are twins; they both never get a visit except to dispose of waste. For those of us that want to be remembered after we are dead, now is the time to do good deeds, and live a life without harming others. People will remember the way we lived and those memories will last even after we are gone. If we are selfish and hurt others, the decay of the bone-yard or a garbage dump will be waiting.
How do you feel about this?
Let me know.........
I took my grandson Marcus to see the Michael Jackson movie, This Is It, and we both liked it a lot!! It is more of a documentary than a movie, and not so much a tribute to his life and works, as it is mostly the last rehearsal performances leading up to the Tour he would have started in July of this year, had he not died prematurely.
There were some boring parts about how they would set up the stage, and Michael being the professional he was, would routinely stop the rehearsal to tell a dancer to "do this, instead of this" or to tell the musicians that they need to hold that note a little longer.
I truly was hoping for old footage of his videos, and maybe interviews or something, but this is not that. This is specifically his last performances and giving you an inside view of what the tour would have been like.
They were going to re-do Thriller in 3-D and I am sure that would have been awesome, had we gotten to see it. We saw some snippets of some of them in costume, and moving towards the camera looking all ghoul like, but that is it.
Michael was still the ultimate performer, and still had the voice and the dance moves that he is loved so much for.
Marcus wanted to dance like him and imitate him, and I thought he was so cute! I have pics that I will post later.
Till Next Time,
For Music Monday I have chosen one of my favorite Michael Jackson songs, the video is various clips of him dancing. The original video isn't available. But this will do! :)
Today was a fun day for me!
Last night Donny Osmond was awarded the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy for winning Dancing with the Stars with his dancing partner, Kym Johnson.
I am happy that they won, and I know there is a lot of disparaging remarks on the internet this morning about how he shouldn't have won, and Mya should have won, or Kelly should have won, but I just want to say that with the 3 of them in the finals, I didn't care who won! I liked them all and thought that the quality of dancing this season has been better than other seasons. So any one of them could have won and I would be happy. They all deserved it in one way or another, but only one could win.
I do think that Donny and Kelly improved the most throughout the season, whereas Mya seemed to be great right from the beginning. She was always at the top of the leader board, where Kelly and Donny had to fight back more than once. Also, Kelly and Donny had more mistakes and fumbles than Mya (who didn't seem to have any?) so this finale really showed how much they both had improved.
Below is the clip of the winners being announced. It is only a minute long and worth it to see the faces. Enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed this season of Dancing with the Stars, I did!
Till Next Time,
