Gchat Status Message Fun

I can't say how it all started but a few Gchat friends and I started putting up 30 Rock quotes as our status messages. It's been fun.

Here they are:

me: ''Werewolf bar mitzvah, spooky scary. Boys becoming men, men becoming wolves.'' - Tracy Jordan

Vivian: I wolfed my Teamster sub for you!

Bushra: Where are the fries I did not ask for? You have to anticipate me!

Jonathan: Affirmative action was designed to keep women and minorities in competition with each other to distract us while white dudes inject AIDS into our chicken nuggets. That's a metaphor!

Vivian again: I'm just going through the classic stages of grief: fear, denial, horniness, wisdom, sleepiness and now depression

Ok so Bushra told me this is how it all started:

Bushra: actually, if you REALLY want to know how it started...my twitter update yesterday: "The contractors and I have to choose a place for mgmt to take us out to lunch w/team. Wondering if there's a sit-down Quizno's in Oakland..." Then Vivian's reply: "@bushra_b Hahaha! Or go to the corner store and ask them to pay for you bag of Sabor de Soledad!"Then me again: "@Viv_C I just can't stop eating that stuff..."Then vivian again: "@bushra_b http://bit.ly/26gxSU"And that, my friends, is how I found out about all the shirts with quotes on themThank you, thank you, * taking a bow *

King of Pop


Ever since I was very young I have loved Michael Jackson. Actually, his name was the first thing I could spell. I would bounce around on my bed and spell "M-I-C-H-A-E-L J-A-C-K-S-O-N."

I would dance around to all his songs and tell my parents' friends that one day I was going to marry him. Of course this happened to be in the 80's when he was on top of the world. He was the Superstar.

As I grew older and weird accounts of Michael began to surface it really saddened me of what he had become. He really was an alien from another planet. How can he relate to anyone, no one has achieved what he has achieved.

Since his passing, I'd only like to remember the good things about Michael. From 1990 and earlier. He was a great part of my childhood and I feel like that's gone now.

Goodbye Michael. I hope you find your peace.
