Michael Jackson.
I have always been a fan of his music, and I was never afraid to admit it. I would blast it at the Best Buy I work at, people would laugh, but then generally start bobbing their heads to the music. How could you not like his songs. Everyone knows a song by him. He is a legend, no one is going to top what he did to the world. I don't care what anyone said about him, he was amazing, and I never believed those accusations against him, they just never made sense to me. But I won't get into that.
I remember when I was a little kid, and my Dad would check out his Moonwalker movie from the library every weekend. Basically, from what I remember, it was just a compilation of Michael's videos, and at the end after Smooth Criminal it had a mini movie where he turned into a robot and a car or something like that. It's been too long, but anyways, I grew up with Michael, even if I never actually met him. He was a part of my life, all our lives, don't be afraid to admit it.
When I was sitting online two weeks ago, and saw someones facebook status say. "WTF!? Michael Jackson DIED!" Instantly googled the news stories. To find that he just had had a heart attack, which put me in some relief... But then I read cardiac arrest, and then the stories started popping up everywhere, now saying he was dead. So I went downstairs to tell my mom, and we turn on the news. They said he wasn't confirmed yet, we watched for 20 mins or so, then we had the confirmation that he had passed. I instantly tear up.
These past two weeks have been rough, but I have been playing his music to lighten my spirits, because it always made me happy. At work too, some people were really happy to hear it, some people said the rude things that you would expect to hear also.
Today I watched the memorial service live, and shed many tears. I would have loved to be there. Since today was the memorial, I thought it would be a good time to post this piece.
I made it the day he died, but I wasn't sure if I was happy with it, so I didn't post it. I went back and did some revisions, which I think made it better. I only wanted the best, and I am still not sure if this is that.
I didn't expect to write a book here, but I thought it was fitting.
Rest in Peace, Michael.
I love you!
