This morning I was quick to respond to an offer from the nice people at NBA on 5 and bagged myself a pair of tickets for 'Game on at O2', the basketball matches featuring Great Britain v Turkey and Israel v Poland.
Looks like I should be heading to London this Saturday, relying on circumstances of course!
Last night while at my local nightclub haunt everyone caught news of Michael Jackson's passing and instantly went into mourning. Firstly, i don't really understand all the fuss myself but this was the same when Princess Diana died. I guess I don't really empathize with rich and famous people. In the toilets i had to argue with someone when I heard them saying "he was only 50, it just shows how precious life is"...I kindly pointed out that many thousands of non-famous people, a lot younger than that die everyday also.
I also woke up yesterday morning to find news that Farrah Fawcett had passed. I've never heard of her before and I can't say i shed a tear, but now i feel compelled to send her some love. R.I.P Farrah, you must be really mad up there that when the day of judgment arrived, MJ had to take your shine.
On a serious note, I played basketball yesterday too....but nodoby cares about that with all this MJ news :(
R.I.P Michael Jackson. R.I.P Farrah Fawcett. R.I.P My Basketball 'Skills'.
I am a student at the University of Manchester studying Economics (Development & Sociology) and this is a blog containing my thoughts on everything and anything. I write this as a form of personal psychiatry but if i can make some smile or feel like they aren't the only one thinking in a particular way i will be delighted!
