Michael Manslaughter for Murray

It has been almost a year since Michael Jackson's death and still the circumstances surrounding the events that lead up to his passing are somewhat unclear.

His former doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, who is currently charged with involuntary manslaughter, has been the centre of attention as the possible cause for the stars demise for some time now, with a piece of evidence recently being criticized for being inconsistent. The evidence in question, given by Mr. Alvarez, Michael Jackson's logistics director, states Dr. Murray halted resuscitation and delayed calling in the paramedics. A lawyer representing Dr. Murray claims that the evidence is inconsistent as it fails to match up to a statement previously given to the police by Mr. Alvaerz.

It was a shock to all when it was revealed the singer had passed away last June, and since then there has been some debate over the circumstances surrounding those events, with some people reporting ghostly sightings of the star, the most prolific of which was recorded by CNN.

April is when the next hearing has been scheduled for Dr. Murray, but many fans have stated that they simply wish for a man who had a troubled life in later years, to have a peaceful death, something that remains illusive almost 10 months on.

Obama-Lama Drama

President Barack Obama met the Dali Lama, and China seem to be very angry about that. The long standing political debate over the relationship between China and Tibet, where the Dali Lama is the president-in-exile, and the apparent dominance China has over the country and the Buddhist religion would have escaped the notice of few in the world, but for a man who advocates peace, leads a religion and has no military might, the Chinese government do appear to be acting like a child who dislikes the game because they are not winning.

The U.S.A. have made it clear that this is not private rather than a political events, though how are we to know what took place behind closed doors. The reaction to the meeting though has raised the question, how long will China continue to hold this somewhat strange stance again the Lama and Tibet itself? Relations between the United States and China have been more publicized of late due to the recent Google row in which China was accused of instigating cyber attacks against the well known search engine but their response to the meeting between these two political figures seems as important as condemning a murderer for stealing a chocolate bar.

Ticking away

Only a few hours left until Christmas, then I will be in possession of a few more objects, other than that nothing much will change.

I intend to see the season in by watching Invader Zim in bed until I fall asleep, that's about as festive as I can be tonight.

I was meant to be going to Carmarthen today to pick up meats for Christmas and have see how the place has changed since moving away from it. That will now be taking place tomorrow as it will be slightly easier and such.

This is supposed to be a time of holiday and doing nothing but I still find myself drawn to work, chasing people up for their music and coming up with plans and ideas for articles. If anything it means I have something to get straight back into once January arrives.

Good morning

It's Sunday morning and the sun appears to be shining for once in the history of this great nation.

Christmas will have been and gone by this time next week and people will be wondering what to do with themselves; primarily the people who think that drinking stupid amounts of alcohol at night is the best thing to take place in their weekly schedule, people who tend to say things like "hd fab tme wiv gals" or "got mashed with the lads" yes you're clever people: go drink unhealthy amounts, talk as though these pubs and clubs provide some form of activity, maybe colouring or playdough, then brag about how you remember nothing or how idiotic you were. You are the idiots who will go no where in life but still insist you are amazing even though you work in an office trying to sell mice or insurance for toe nails to people. Do you really think you make the world better?

God this horse is high.

Argh

The back of my neck seems to be hurting today, primarily because I have been sat at this computer doing work or fiddling with software.

Managed to complete a decent portion of my work on Race and Ethnicity but the highlight of the day has to be seeing my latest articles up on the magazine website:

I do rather enjoy my work, and I am damn good at it :-)
Christmas shall be upon us soon. Tomorrow shall be spent putting decorations up making room for the new things we shall acquire.

Lies

All night across Facebook and Twitter people have been going on about the snow, from Cardiff, to Bridgend, to people who live in places I can't spell on the other side of Bridgend.

Yet I wake up this morning to find the world any colour other than that of snow! Did it simply pass us by or were people lying simply exaggerating the fact that it drizzled last night for a few hours.

BAH!
