we finally got the re-release of michael jackson's "thriller", which i've been wanting since it came out a few months ago. it is so awesome. i cannot believe what a revolutionary m.j. was back in the day. i listen to it or watch the accompanying dvd and part of me just loves it--the music and the short films...and part of me feels so totally sad for michael jackson. what the hell happened to him?! i feel for the lost innocence and the lost potential. i feel for whatever he went through, it was obviously horrible. i don't know what the hell he's up to or what he's done, and i don't condone any of his insane behavior. but i know it's a result of a horrific childhood that messed up that whole family--and that makes me sad. i see his little tiny self singing "ABC"...and i remember "the wiz", and i remember with perfection the first time i saw "thriller" (i was five and it scared the crap out of me and thrilled me at the same time) and i feel sad for the little him, and all the little ones out there born to the WRONG people who had no business raising kids. then i love and adore my own some more and pray for peace in the world and give thanks to all the terrific families out there, doing the wonderful, quiet, graceful work of raising a family and being good citizens.
that's what i'm grateful for today: the good families and good citizens of the world.
ps. check out the flickr link on the sidebar if you want to keep up with my crafty photostream...i've got a couple of bags up there and will soon post pictures of jubal's new pants and some shopping bags and whatever other awesome stuff i can whip up.
