Late night and MJ

A couple of nights later, and my previous long post seems a little harsh.  I'm aware it could've been construed as offensive to people who do work for those causes everyday of their lives for many many years, and I hope it wasn't taken as something negative that way.  I was just venting about the badgering thoughts that have been my only friend as of late, these restless several days.  But it's true, isn't it?  It's tiring.  And I think Hawai'i life has been wearing on me.  Well, I mean, just politically.

Yet another reason to yearn for LA.

I totally miss my family and friends, and as great as people are here, it's not the same.  The truth is, I've been feeling kind of alone lately.  Strange.

Had Hogaku tonight, and that was almost great, except it had to be cut short, unfortunately.  Unforeseen circumstances.

Watching Oprah now, and it's an episode where she recalls, with commentary, her very first interview (THE very first interview) with MJ back in something like 1993.  His innocence and gentleness are remarkable.  The alarm just went off in the middle of their interview.

Anyhow, he was dating Brooke Shields at the time.  So interesting.

There really was a mystery about him - the way he talks about his life, his childhood, his music, his love life, everything.  He's just very likeable, in this interview.  Though, he seems lonely.  And sad, too.  

On another note, there are some incredibly strange things happening on this computer.  It's doing weird things, like my cursor disappears, or like the other day, it started freaking out and when I shut it to make it stop, it wouldn't turn it back on.  I had to pull out the battery and restart it.

My cursor isn't showing as I type this up now.  Frustrating.

One restarted computer later, I'm back now.

Taiko will be interesting at the very least, the next few weeks - prepping for a mini concert next Friday, going to Hilo this Saturday to perform, going to Maui in a few weeks - at least there's stuff to look forward to from a performance standpoint.  Also I'm going to try and get as much fue training as I can the next 6 months, while I can.

Lots of thoughts lately about my impending future.  And after an exciting email exchange with Megatron, it's left me with a lot of thoughts about my politics, law school, and where I'll end up in say, 5 to 8 years.  Really.

Had a great few days, so hope it only gets better.  Work starts next week too, maybe the kids will brighten up my mood.

Back to Oprah and MJ.

EDIT - He just danced for Oprah and I think I had a huge orgasm.
