Today was not about controversy....

said ABC Nightline anchor Cynthia McFadden, as I got in tonight from class. And that was my sentiment as I watched or should I say listen to Michael Jackson's funeral earlier today. I think his daughter really put a human touch to the service. Talk about emotional. See it here in case you haven't.


I now know my coworkers and I weren't the only ones BALLING our eyes out

Jennifer Hudson was on point.
This is by far my favorite song by him and come to think of it most of my favorite songs by MJ are the inspirational ones. She killed it. The little dance they did around her was nice too. I had the volume on most of the time and was able to go back and forth.

I also want to say to CNN and Facebook that was one of the best uses of technology I have seen - that may not be saying much but I loved the opportunity to be logged in to Facebook AND watch (actually listen) to the service. See CNN discuss the partnership here.

Happy 4th All

Here's wishing you guys a Happy 4th of July. I spent the entire day doing nothing that I should have. Also, today is President Obama's first daughter, Malia's birthday... Happy Birthday to her.

Lastly, just found out Steve McNair passed away or should I say was killed today. No real details at this point but thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
