End of this week has been strange…I got out of bed on Friday to news from my wife that Michael Jackson had passed away. Immediately I searched the internet for news about what happened. Then, you wanted to hear your favourite MJ songs again and again. Its so strange, he was only 50 years old and preparing for a series of major concerts. He was fit and at the prime of his life. 

I practically grew up with MJ with songs like ABC, Rockin Robin and I’ll be there in the early years. I saw him in concert at the National Stadium in 1996 or 1997 and he really mesmerised us…well, now he’s gone, we are left with just memories and the songs. MJ will be one of those enigmas who will be bigger when gone rather than living…

Then, there is the death of Farrah Fawcett…we first knew her in our teens as a Charlie’s Angel and she has also left us with many memories. She was the pin-up girl of the 70s. We will miss her.

Football suddenly seem so insignificant compared to the deaths of the superstars. But Ronaldo and Tevez had left Man U and we haven’t signed anybody yet. Maybe Fergie is counting on some of his fledglings to carry the club next season. We’ll see, but we definitely need one more world-renowned striker to carry us thru. Either Benzema or Villa will fill the hole. We got the funds from the Ronaldo sale so money should be the least problem. Gotta act fast…

This has also been a week to spend some time with the children before they return to school. Its almost time to return to the real world…
