Settlement reached over Aaliyah's death
The parents of rhythm and blues singer and actress Aaliyah have reached an undisclosed settlement in a negligence lawsuit over her death in a 2001 plane crash, family attorneys said.
A chartered Cessna 402B carrying Aaliyah and eight others crashed shortly after takeoff on a flight from Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas to the Miami suburb of Opa-locka. Investigators believed the plane was 315 kg overloaded.
Attorneys for Aaliyah's parents, Diane and Michael Haughton, have filed a notice in federal court to say the case has been settled with an agreement to keep details confidential.
The parents sued plane operator Blackhawk International Airways Corp, owners Skystream Inc and Gilbert Chacon and flight broker Atlantic Flight Group. Blackhawk did not have permission from the Bahamas for commercial flights.
Aaliyah, a million-selling singer turned movie star in Romeo Must Die and Queen of the Damned, was 22 when she died.

I found this article this morning, while taking a break from my essay. Its been two years since the plane crash, and finally they've settled it. I just hope aaliyah's family can now rest and move on now.

heeey all.
i really shouldn't be online rite now. me have an essay to start and finish. Who knew writing a literature review could be sooo damn hard. I still have like 6 books to read, then i can write the damn essay, its not even that long. I'll be soo thankful once this week is over, I have another essay due on friday, but i guess i could always hand it in on the Next monday...i wonder if they count weekends as days late also? hmmm...
i'm trying to watch some atomfilms. but streaming video has never liked me, but i've bee downloading some stuff and looking for some new music. Getting bored with all this old shit, but the one song I really want i can't find on Kazaa. its' soo weird, Dido's white flag...i need a copy of that song, and every time i search for it its not there. but i really like the video clip for that song too, you should all check it out - watch rage, cos they play it.
I've had a busy weekend, and so far my week has been good. I went to uni yesterday and it was cool, i didn't feel like i was wasting my time, the weather was good, and i suppose i was happy because i spent awhile with lisa and her funky friends, and their pretty nice people. i still feel weird though, i mean, i can't seem to really make friends in my own classes. I know people, you know, u say hi to them, sometimes u have discussion with them, but no real friends you know. I like Jon's friends, but i think they don't know how to act or talk to me, and i never really speak alot with them. But their still all very nice people. it's kinda strange how i make friends through friends, there has never really been anyone i know that i haven't met through a friend. anyway, i shall leave you now with a small sample of my current playlist (the one thats in my head)
playlist:
Pete Murray - Feeler
Thicke - Brand New Jones
Utada Hikaru - Automatic (mtv unplugged)
Jet - Are you gonna be my girl?
Third Eye Blind - Forget myself
