R.I.P. Michael Jackson (1958-2009)

June 25th, 2009 by rxmitchell

Today, the legendary King of Pop, Michael Joseph Jackson, passed away in Los Angeles, CA. He was 50 years old. His inimitable music and dance moves will be remembered forever. His artistry defined perfection. His private life was tainted by malicious controversies that imprisoned his spirit and trust in “childhood wonderland”. His death marked the end of his battles with cruel and unfair opportunists but the beginning of his true freedom and happiness in the next life. MJ fans could finally remember him with reverence in a magical Neverland. May his soul rest in peace…

Speaking of freedom, a good “Thriller” dances away melancholy but not forever…

September 18, 2007: Randy Pausch

“Almost all of us have childhood dreams; for example, being an astronaut, or making movies or video games for a living. Sadly, most people don’t achieve theirs, and I think that’s a shame. I had several specific childhood dreams, and I’ve actually achieved most of them. More importantly, I have found ways, in particular the creation (with Don Marinelli), of CMU’s Entertainment Technology Center of helping many young people actually *achieve* their childhood dreams.” - Randy Pausch, Oct. 23, 1960 - July 25, 2008

A Taste of History

January 20th, 2009 by rxmitchell

Day 1.

Presidential Inauguration 2009

Presidential Inauguration 2009

At exactly 12 noon, President-elect Barack H. Obama becomes or will be sworn-in as the 44th President of the United States of America, and as the historic first African-American US President.  Also, VP-elect Joe Biden takes his inaugural oath today.

I can’t be physically present in Washington, DC, for the Inauguration-related partying.  I am staying at home and the following minute-by-minute unfolding of events on CNN.   I feel so lucky that I don’t have to stay out there in the cold but I intend not to miss moment in history so I plan to be as teary-eyed, as ecstatic, and probably as restless capturing all “digital moments” opportunities (in the comforts of my couch).

Last night, I wrote a song (lyrics/poem)  dedicated to President Obama and his victorious race to the White House.  Let’s read it together (or sing it to the tune of your choice, for now).

“Moment for Change” (The Unofficial Obama Song)

You stayed in my shadows
As history unfolds
You stood up in line for “Change”
Just because I am with you

I am nothing to the stars

But I am the greatest with you
I just want to touch you
And to let you know

Chorus:
Now is for Change
To shine and make it through
But this is your moment
As I love you

You’ve been there for me
As I live the dream others most aspired
This stage may belong to me
Only because I’m with you

I had tears but you make me smile inside
I falter but you keep me believe
I am weak but you me give a lift
This is for you

Chorus:
Now is for Change
To shine and make it through
But this is your moment
Since I love you

I thank you for seeing through me
For feeling my heart
From the start to this moment
It is you and I forever…

It’d definitely be a magical experience to have a taste of the historical moments in the nation’s capital as President Obama takes the first bite of the throne (with all the political and economic challenges bonded with it) as the country’s “top CEO” and the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful armed forces in the world.   God bless President Obama! God bless us! God bless America!

Itchy Happy Holidays To The World!

“Santa… are you there?”

Heartless

December 23rd, 2008 by rxmitchell

It’s only a job.  I am still here.

Perhaps this is the spark that I need for a new start.
Perhaps I am that one missing graphical statistic for the seeking-for-work market to reach the tipping point – come on, the uphill curve must stop somewhere!
Perhaps the moment has come to face the twists and turns of life.

Thank God for a beating heart!

Perhaps there is such a fixation as destiny.
Perhaps I will have to follow a new path.
Perhaps it’s not good to work so hard – it really doesn’t matter in a psychiatry ward.
Perhaps I am too brown to continue to move up the tier.

Perhaps I was born in the wrong side of the globe.
Perhaps I have to learn the recipe for clatite cu spuma de mure.
Perhaps it’s time for a dental check-up.
Perhaps I want to go to Paris, too.

I lost my father when I was a kid due to heart disease; perhaps he needed a heart no more in the next life.
Perhaps earthlings don’t feel the same way as the angels.
Perhaps it makes no difference if I have a heart in heaven – happiness interminable.
Perhaps a heart is very cheap trade in hell –- no heart : no feelings : no pain.

Perhaps my mother will have to expect fewer calls from me this Christmas.
Perhaps Santa will have to appear (and appeal) to Congress and present a “sustainable” business plan for a bailout.
Perhaps the magic of the season may work for me in time for a “happy” New Year.
Perhaps holidays “unpaid” is the best way to celebrate its true value.

Perhaps my wife would love to have some Maryland crabs sautéed in olive oil and lots of garlic for dinner – it’s been a while.

The world is round.  Worldwide economy is down to the dumps.  Money changes everything.  Justice is blind. God is omnipotent. Tomorrow never dies.

According to the 2008 World Health Statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO), cardiovascular disease remains the number one killer in the world – 29.9 % of the total number of deaths in 2004, that is, ischemic heart disease (12.2%) and cerebrovascular disease or stroke (9.7%) combined.

Like you, I, too, may be heartbroken (or simply broke) but this “man-made” tragedy should make us stronger and better (not bitter) persons.  Give to no one the right to hurt you (and vice versa)… otherwise, you will have to stay and live with them in agony forever HAHA!

Perhaps you have your own story to tell.  Perhaps…

Perhaps this is my story.  I say it again; God is watching!  Whatever happens in life, I will be happy and successful someday.  I walk one foot forward in every step to remind me that I can only live a day at time. Yes, everything happens for a reason.

It’s only a job.   I am still here… to be with the ones that really matter (most).
