Insomnia and Michael Jackson?

So it's half past 2:00 a.m. and I cannot sleep. I have a damn Michael Jackson song stuck in my head....


"Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough
Keep On With The Force Don't Stop
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough..."


What in the hell?


Yes, over and over again I keep humming it. Fine, I'll admit too that sometimes when I hum it, I cannot help but shake my head and shoulders a little.


I heard this particular song on the radio on my evening commute home from work today, er... I mean yesterday, actually. But I came home, played with Vivian, went for a walk, talked to a friend and did some things around the house. So....why is it back in my head now when I should be sleeping? Is Michael sending me cosmic forces and trying to channel me?

I just went back and read the lyrics thinking it might have some hidden meaning for me and what may be going on in my life right now. You know how sometimes you can hear a song 100 times and then suddenly pay attention to the lyrics. And those lyrics may give you some kind of epiphany or new perspective on life. Maybe the lyrics will give me a clue...

Nope, these lyrics don't mean jack to me. In fact, they sound rather silly and repetitive.

In fact, I just laughed at the line where he says, " I'm melting (I'm melting) like hot candle wax". Laughing out loud....

Um, yeah Michael. You are melting these days. You don't look like yourself anymore. Hahaha! In fact, I just found this comical history of Michael's face, comparing him to Mr. Potato Head, The Joker and other literary figures of time.


I don't mean to pick on poor Michael. The media does that enough already. I really do like the guy. Well, I like his music from back in the day. He wasn't a masculine fellow, as comedian Eddie Murphy would joke. But he was a talented guy and his music will forever be a part of history.


All I sit here and wonder is why I can't get this particular goofy song out of my head. I have tried to at least think of another one of his tunes I like better than this one, like "Smooth Criminal," "Thriller," or "Billie Jean." But, Nooo! My mind races back to this one.


So again, I repeat, What the hell?


Am I am not sleeping because I'm nervous about the house going to act of sale on Friday? Am I thinking about how my parents are coming to visit this weekend and how I should really clean the house before their arrival?

No, that's not it. Both of those will be fine. I really believe that our house will sell without any problems. And well, my parents know what a slob I can be so why concern myself with that.


I don't know....


Michael, leave me alone! I need to sleep! Can't you go bother Tito or Janet? I'm crawling back into my bed now. Go look for your glove.
