Michael Jackson 1958-2009

I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Michael Jackson cast actual Native Americans for his video 'Black or White'. I appreciated not seeing a stereotypical image.

I felt that it helped alleviate the under representation for Native American's in Film and Television.

So today...finding out that this child star, icon, the King of Pop was dead it was surreal. Unreal was my first thought via Twitter.

Good, bad or indifferent, its a loss everyone is reflecting on.

Thank you for the music. Thank you for the videos. Rest In Peace.

As a proud Native American I wish to express my deepest sympathies to the Jackson Family and the children he left behind.

The muse and inspiration fuel this passion

The passion felt escapes me in the form of what you read here. Sometimes you will recognize a name and face. There will be times I shine a light on the obscure and unknown. May we luxuriate in and admire the talent in whatever medium its delivered to us.

Its been nineteen days since my last post. Everyday since then has been a slow steady progression to where I want to end up.

I'll be taking a more professional approach to the content added in the future. That will include a brand new site and company name. In the mean time we will still commiserate here.
