“If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.” -Michael Jackson

I need to vent because if I don't let this out well...

Michael he...

If it weren't for Michael I wouldn't know some of my best friends that I have today. I remember seeing him on tv for the first time when I was younger, when I actully knew that it was him. I'd heard my folks talk of Michael Jackson before that but I had never put it together.

It was the 30th anniversary concert.

My cousin and I almost always had it on after that, dancing to Jackson Five songs in the living room for months after it aired. His music helped though various hard times. He said a lot of intelligent things. He inspired me.

I remember when I first saw him I thought wow! He could dance, sing and he could draw pretty good too. He was a humanitarian.

I've been crying since I first heard the news. I had to try and suck it up for my newphews graduation but after that I started crying again. I can't look at him, or listen. You Rock My World just played on BET and my crying became sobs. My head hurts, my throat hurts, it feels like someone knocked the wind out of me. I want to scream until I can no longer.

His poor family...

He was Michael Jackson. He was supposed to outlive everyone else. Why go like that?

I never got to say thank you.
