Michael Jackson's Complete Will

Michael Jackson's Death has had a huge effect on his fans and the music world. We have lost a legend and he will never be forgotten. For me personally, I will never listen to his songs the same way again. The news so far is that there will be a public memorial at the Staples Center at 10:00AM on Tuesday July 7.
My first interesting find on this topic is that there have been multiple people who have committed suicide because of Michaels death. You can read about this here : Fans Commit Suicide.

My main reason for posting this is because I have come across Michael Jackson's will. In case anybody was interested in reading the fine print. You can read it right below. either click the document link or use the full page or zoom buttons to get in close. I have read through it and here are the most interesting points.

1. Michael's Father, Joe Jackson, is left with nothing
2. MJ's Children will be under the custody of his mother
3. Secondary custody is granted to Diana Ross
4. MJ is leaving his Beatles music library rights to Paul Mcartney. Thus ending that feud.

Feel free to comment anything you want. I'd like to know what you think about the whole situation and MJ. Now Beat It and sign up for my blog for the sake of Michael .

Blind photographers


I am a decent photographer and so are the group of people on the site I will share with you today. The only difference is they can't see because they're blind. BlindPhotographers.org is a site which showcases galleries of photos taken by some very talented photographers who are visually impaired. They all come from different backgrounds and have different reasons on how they lost their sight. Some of them can see to a certain degree which ranges from just seeing blobs of colors to only seeing dark and light shadow. This is truly amazing and inspires me as a photographer and as a person. I highly recommend browsing through the photos in their gallery or on flickr. I have no idea as to how they can achieve such awesome photos without really seeing what they are capturing.

Blind boy can see. Amazing! must see to believe!

Today I have something inspirational to share. I have a keen interest in eyes which is why I want to become an optometrist. I believe that miracles happen all the time and the impossible is always possible. This video is about a boy, named Ben Underwood, who is blind, but doesn't need help getting around or finding things. He uses echolocation to see his surroundings. yea like a bat or a dolphin does. It is something that has to be seen to be believed. This is inspiring and just plain astounding. You'll see what I mean. I have posted here five videos which are parts of a documentary about this boy. I am sad to say that this inspiring sixteen year old passed away earlier this year due to a recurrence of his cancer, but I am sure he served as inspiration to others to realize that everything is possible. God bless you Ben.
