This Is It.
Kendall and I went to see This Is It today. It was intensely moving. This planned tour of MJ's would have been incredible beyond description! Not only would it have been phenomenal entertainment, but as a show, it would have had a really significant MESSAGE behind it too. (If you want to know what the 'message' was, go SEE the movie...I can't deliver that message with the same impact and effectiveness that MJ did...or WOULD have, if he'd had the chance.) He was such an incredibly kind, caring and gentle soul. It was almost as if perhaps, in the last few months of his life, MJ might have finally been beginning to really find himself.
It was also interesting to be reminded that this last tour was not just about MJ. There were HUNDREDS of people behind the production of this tour...costume designers and make up artists, film makers, technicians, dancers, singers, musicians. This tour would have been the opportunity and experience of a lifetime for these folks. They were all so INCREDIBLY talented and had all worked so hard. I'm glad that at least a portion of their hard work will be seen and appreciated by many through the making of this film. The world lost a true treasure when MJ passed away...much more of a treasure I think, than many people realized. This film is soooo worth seeing. It's not the kind of film that will 'blow you away' (like the actual TOUR would have been!). It was obvious to anyone who has ever seen MJ perform live that he was holding back during rehearsals...his performance intensity would have been amped up 10 times that level for the live performances. But it was still a great film to see, and a fitting farewell to a truly precious person. RIP in Michael.

“Neuro Linguistic Programming is the most powerful tool for
change that exists today.” — Psychology Today(Monday 08 October 2007 : Michael Eckerman Texas)
Michael Eckerman ~ the best presented training
Absolutely the best presented training seminar I've ever attended. The instruction and the creative way the information was transferred from Michael Eckerman to us is world class. I have been totally inspired and will never forget this time.

Why NLP?
NLP has had a profound impact on the field of personal development since it was first developed, nearly twenty-five years ago. NLP has been described as the new science of personal achievement, but it is much more than that. It is a highly effective methodology based on the belief that all behavior has a structure and that this structure can be modeled, learned and changed. As you study NLP, you will learn about your own patterns and programs, how you can change them and have more flexibility in your life. How you can literally run the software in your mind to get the results you want and make the changes that matter most. Personally and professionally, people from all walks of life have been enhancing their lives and finding greater success as a result of NLP.
NLP was initially created in 1975 by Richard Bandler and John Grinder, who began modeling and duplicating the magical results of a few top communicators and therapists. Some of the first people to be studied included Hypnotherapist Milton Erickson, gestalt therapist Fritz Perls and family therapist Virginia Satir. Since then, many others have contributed to the growth and development of the field. And finally, the trail of techniques created through this type of modeling is what is commonly known as NLP. The programs in this catalog describe the many different techniques we teach and use. Michael Eckerman
Ar Auditory Remembered
Auditory Recall - Is when you remember sounds or voices that you've heard before or things that you've said to yourself before. When you ask someone, What was the very last thing I said, they typically look in that direction.

NEWS!!???
While laying on my couch from a new position now that we rearranged the living room, I watched the news. It was the 10 o' clock news, I usually watch the world news at 6:30 because of Charles Gibson but anyways..I was watching the news and a few stories peaked my interest.
First story was a 6 year old boy was suspended from school for 45 days for bringing a knife/spoon/fork that he got from the cub scouts to school. Now during the child's 45 day suspension he is supposed to attend an alternative disciplinary school. Seriously? the kid gets straight A's and he has never been in trouble before, and on top of that he's a cub scout. He didn't bring it to school with the attempt to harm someone and if his parents trust him with it why not just confiscate it and give it to them?? Someone posted on a facebook what kind of parent allows their child to have that? A parent responsible enough to teach the child how to use it. I had a teacher last year who used to teach at a disciplinary in upstate New York. Now these kids make the delinquents in my school look like cranky kinder gardeners throwing a temper tantrum. Now where they grow up hunting is a way of life, according to my teacher there was a two week period in which the students didn't come at all because it was hunting season. These kids have open access to the guns in their home and they are taught how to kill with them, guess how many were in that school for gun related altercations???? None. These kids were raised with a respect for guns. They were taken out on hunting trips when they were as young as 3 years old so they know its not a toy, they're parents would never accept them playing around with a gun or another humans life.
Story number two involves some elementary school kids learning a song about Barrack Obama and his policies. A group of protesters think that politics should be kept out of the classroom and that the song teaches the kids to idolize the president. That is just about the dumbest thing I've heard all week (so far, its only Wednesday). What happened to current events?? When I was in elementary school I had to do current events every night and I learned a song about Martin Luther King Jr (not exactly the same thing but stick with me here people). The song informs the students of what's going on today politically, they cry and whine about how younger generations are so unaware and how we (younger generation) are choosing to stay blind to these things but a catchy song is just the thing we need to jump start little kids interest in politics and news. I know that doing current events at first was the most tedious thing in the world to me but by the time I reached 3rd grade I would stay up til ten to watch the news because I had an after school program. I liked being informed and feeling smart, I liked being able to discuss my political stance with adults and them telling my parent I was a very bright child. Most adults aren't aware of Barrack Obama's political policies are, shouldn't we be applauding the students and not chastising them and their teachers because we may not agree????
And I'm a bit of a conspiracy theorist so the whole Michael Jackson dying story seems a little fishy to me. Ok so if he is dead and someone did murder him, who and why? Who stood to gain the most from Michael being dead? I don't know what his relations were like with his brothers but I'm pretty sure he was closest to janet and his mother so they wouldn't see to much gain from it: Janet makes her own money and he'd give his mom the world if she asked so I pick Joe. If anyone wanted Michael out of the way most it'd be him. Joe is no longer the belligerent jerk we all know him to be but the grieving father and I'm sure there is money to be had in there some way some how. His brothers are also suspect, honestly who here can name all of the other Jackson 5 members?? Not me. But, would one of them really kill their brother over jealousy and money, not likely and I'd know, I have a younger sister I'd sell if they'd let me. Then there's also the possibility he's not dead at all and hiding out somewhere. Michaels music and style has always been popular and probably always will be, but he hasn't been. People have songs, and jokes and comedy sketches dedicated to the fall of Michael Jackson. I don't give a shit dead or alive the guy is weird and I'm not going to take back my statements about him because he's dead. I do still believe he had the tendencies of a pedophile and I do believe he must have lost his god damn mind to destroy his face the way he did. I'm not falling for that "lost childhood" bull shit the Jackson's have been trying to push on people for years. Day after day kids in America are forced to grow up at younger ages because of situations that they are put in, now whether it makes you crazy or pushes you forward is up to you. Michael was going forward for awhile and then something broke in him, but they need to realize that's a reason not an excuse. I can't just go around punching people in the face, later telling them that I came from a broken home and expecting them to be less mad at me, now can I?? They want us as the American Public to rethink the way we treated him because he was the king of pop, but how would they feel about a math teacher touching on their child's goodies? We shouldn't feel guilty about our statements because they hurt his feelings and now he's dead, it was true, Michael for the past two decades has been the epitome of a freak. We (or at least, I) never said we hated Michael but its hard to accept him knowing what he'd become, it wasn't that we didn't understand him, it was that we were finally beginning to understand him personally and not liking what we were seeing.
