The one you can't have...

My latest love in music is Adele. I never really made an attempt to listen to her when she won all those Grammies, but somehow she found her way into my playlist a couple of days ago and man, I cannot get enough of her. I saw this video of her singing in Royal Albert hall, and she was so emotional about her song "Someone Like You". I must admit I cried a bit when I heard it for the first time. But listening to her talk about the song and the man who inspired the song is heartbreaking. She's sold millions of records, made millions, won Grammies, but she cannot have the one thing she really wants... It really broke my heart to see cry on stage. Seeing such a beautiful, talented, successful person cry over a relationship we sometimes take for granted kind of jerks things back into perspective right?

Schumacher doesn't need your SEO-optimised letters...

Michael Schumacher emerged from coma and the world let out a sigh of relief. Websites tripped over themselves to write about it and linkbacks to older stories they'd done on the legend peppered the update on his health. Every single SEO-friendly word was in place, tags all perfectly done, keywords shoved in, published with perfect headlines to grab the attention of the reader and of course search engines. I stumbled across one such "letter to Schumacher" and couldn't decide whether I should be crying for the state he is in, or for the fact that when he is able to sit up and read, he'll read these pseudo "we-love-you-schumi" pieces, or at the pathetic sample of SEO-journalism.

The soul behind reporting or even writing an opinion  is lost. And the saddest part is at times the job is so shoddy that you can actually see the words are just slapped together to make a vaguely coherent sentence, but one that a search engine might immediately pick up.

I cannot even bring myself  to be in his wife's shoes for the tiniest bit. The pain and anguish she feels right now is something no wife should ever have to experience and yet there she is living her worst nightmare. Her heart might have pounded with fear every time he got behind the wheel and to think a holiday is where he stopped being the Schumacher we know.

So I think "reporters" need to stop writing letters to him and dissecting his life. You've got enough hits for your website on his name. Now just leave that family alone and let the man recuperate. He doesn't need your stupid letters to get him through this.
