It’s been almost 2 weeks since my last blog post and I’ve been itching to get on here, but I have been having major WordPress issues.  If you are reading this, hopefully, that means they problems have gone away.  For any WordPress gurus out there, these are the issues I am still having:

1. Pics not showing up in posts (see Today show post from 6/5/09).  The pics are in the media area of my dashboard, but will not load on the site.
2. 500 internal server error.  This happens almost every day at some point to someone.  I’ve contacted GoDaddy (site host) and they said it’s a WordPress issue.

I would appreciate any assistance anyone could give me….this is getting very frustrating.

Today was a day that I will most likely never forget.  It began when I awoke to see Farrah Fawcett on Twitter’s trending topics.  I knew she was sick, but when you are in the trending topics it’s never a good sign.  She had passed away only a half hour earlier.  What is really sad is that she never got to marry her long-time partner Ryan O’Neil.  He had proposed again last week and she said yes, but it was too late.

RIP Farrah.  You inspired so many people when you were younger as an icon and also lately with the hope of your strength in dealing with cancer.

Later today, in the middle of trying to figure out what was wrong with my blog, I looked on TMZ and saw that Michael Jackson had gone into cardiac arrest.  In the age of Twitter, this news spread like wildfire and it was all anyone could talk about.  TMZ was the first to report the news of his passing.  Many didn’t believe it, as it came from a “tabloid” but, as many people may not realize, TMZ is owned by AOL and has a little more credibility than they think.  I immediately posted it to my Twitter and got backlash that I was jumping to conclusions by listening to TMZ, and should wait for a more “credible source”.

Either way, the world lost another icon later in the afternoon.  My childhood is filled with so many memories of MJ and his music and dancing.  He has been an inspiration to almost any musician out there today.  I am sorry that I never had the chance to see him moonwalk live.

Despite all the controversies that he was surrounded by later in his life, he will always be the “King of Pop”.  RIP Michael.
