ah sleep

Last night I sank into bed and didn't wake up for 12 hours. Oh it feels good to sleep again. Today I payed my bills and shredded all my junk mail that'd been piling up. That felt gret too. So now I'm thinking if I spread out the time between my daily tasks it may make them more enjoyable. I could sleep every 2 days, pay my bills every 2 months and empty the trash every two weeks. I don't think my cat would be too happy if I fed her every other day though. Good gosh this was a lame entry. I tried my hardest to think of something to write that didn't include Michael Jackson but it was pretty much impossible. So here is my view on the media circus. It baffles me why men and women with masters degrees and more stand around outside the Santa Maria couthouse waiting for MJ to walk in wave and walk out and wave again. I'm doing it because I really need the money and the proffesional connections. Its an excuse I know but if I had well known name in the journalism world I'd put in for a different assignment. His fans stand outside and chide us "heck with the press Michael's the best" or "Fox news lies" and my personal favorite, "wearing pajamas is not a crime go report some real news." There are some real nut cases out there but that last chant rings true. Sensationalism in the news is fed by what I'm reporting and I'm not proud of that.

I love MJ

Thanks to Michael Jackson and the fact that he enjoys spending time with little children I got a job with Getty Images for the remainder of the Michael Jackson trial! Unlike my gig with Polaris Images Getty actually pays a day rate. Honestly I think Michael is innocent and I'm sorry the world finds this trial so enthralling, but starting a relationship with Getty is worth my waiting 7 hours a day for him to walk in and out of the Santa Maria Courthouse.
