Michael Jackson Dies of a Heart Attack

Very, very sad news, the king of Pop Michael Jackson died of a heart attack Thursday 25th June 2009.

I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson, my favourite being his Thriller albumn. Thriller, was released in 1982 and is the biggest-selling album of all time, selling 65 million records according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Michael Jackson, had a history of health problems, he was due to stage multiple comeback concerts in the UK, beginning on 13 July 2009.

Well miss you Michael :(

Cirque De Glace Ice Show

IF THE CREATION OF THE WORLD
WAS SHAPED BY FIRE & ICE, THEN
SO IT WILL BE FOR CIRQUE DE GLACE,
AN ICE SHOW BEYOND IMAGINATION


I went to a Cirque De Glace show the other day. Started a little slow with a lot of not so scientific information, (how can you reforest the Earth when it originally had no forests) but when the ice skaters entered the stage it was very entertaining.

Not quite sure what they were thinking setting fire to the ice half way through, but no one tripped on the melted area (big line), so looks like the melted ice wouldn't be an issue.

They kept bringing a big ball out (the Earth) that one of the performers would do gymnastics on. They brought the ball out 4 times which was a bit much for a two hour show, (after the second time gets a bit old) though suspect it was to give the skaters time to change costumes/rest. Other than that I thoroughly enjoyed the ice show and would recommend it.
