Ted Williams, the golden-voiced former homeless man is one inspiring story for the start of a new year.
Of course, what he came to be by way of drugs and alcohol is not at all something that is inspiring but because he has a talent, a “golden voice” that captivated millions of people, Ted Williams was given great opportunities for another chance to be a better person.
We need inspiring real-life stories such as this to lift our spirits and be challenged to do more than we can.
Lady Gaga YouTube One Billion Hits

No doubt about it, Lady Gaga with one billion hits on YouTube has got to be the most watched personality online.
Someone asked me why Lady Gaga is so popular. I can’t remember what I answered exactly but I said I think she is very popular because her songs are dance-able and easy to remember. The fact that her fashion sense borders on the ridiculous if not atrocious makes her even interesting.
Frankly, I don’t even know how she looks like without her make-up unless I Google her name and look at her photos.

I just hope nothing like this will happen soon.

This Is It World Premiere
Oct 28th 2009greenbucksAround the Metro & For Information & World Watch
Today marks the international launch of the two-week showing of “This is It” featuring Michael Jackson.
We haven’t made plans yet to watch but I am excited to say the least.
I am sure a lot of people took advantage of the first day to watch, especially since tickets have been sold in advance several weeks ago.
I wonder if the ticket counter sales clerks are scrambling to use their handy weapons before patrons who will part with their money. The weapon? why a barcode scanner of course 😀
My son is a self-confessed fan of the late pop icon. Yeah even if he just heard of and saw MJ at the time of his death. Never say too late.
