I remember when I was a kid and "Beat It" came out. Out local elementary school got to jazzercise to it. I thought it was the coolest thing. We all choreographed our movements and everything. Each bong of the bell we would put our hands to our face and spin around. I also remember eating at Pizza Inn and hearing Thriller and Def Leppards "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and dancing in the restaurant. Now that we all can see how embarrassing the 80s really was, or maybe how embarrassing I was, I wonder what is to become of the King of Pop. As an outsider I really can't say what exactly the jury is looking at. I think it is pretty close to even. Since both the defense and the prosecution has had prior deeds I think it makes them even. It is a pretty close call. It appears like it might end up at whose story the jury believes - a self professed peter pan millionaire or a boy whose mother is litigious. I bet the deliberations take a while. Take note of where you are when the verdict is given. I remember when the OJ Verdict was given. I was at Texas Tech in the student center. For some reason all of the African Americans decided to hang out there when the verdict was announced. There was probably 250 people stuffed into the student center to watch the verdict. I didn't notice I was the only white guy there until after the verdict of "not guilty" was given. One of them said, "Let's riot anyway" and they all laughed. I quickly exited the building after realizing what could've happened and after all the stares I was getting. However at this verdict I don't think they'll say that. I think most people think he's guilty. Then again most people thought OJ was guilty too. What do you think?

Thought of the Day
"Oh look Elaine, the black and white cookie. I love the black and white. Two races of flavor living side by side in harmony. It's a wonderful thing, isn't it?"
"You know, I often wonder what you'll be like when you're senile."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Yeah, I think it'll be a very smooth transition for you."
