So yesterday (August 29th 2009) Would have been the date that Pop Legend Michael Jackson celebrated his 51st birthday. So you know you tune into the radio to hear all his jams playing, all his videos on the music station and I am overcome by this uncomfortable feeling. Michael Jackson is really gone. And its something that could happen to anyone but Michael had a way of making us believe he was immortal. I became a die hard Michael Jackson fan when I was 12 years old. I remember watching his documentaries and listening to his music and everything. Songs he had made before I was even born but yet something about him just kept me captivated. Headlining on the news in other countries as well as seeing all the pandemonium he created was truly outstanding. I remember promising myself that I would see him one day, that my life will be a little more special that one day I met Michael Jackson. However on June 25th it all changed. I remember finding out through a text message and just not believing it, until the news confirmed it. Watching millions of his fans and when it finally hit me I just broke down into tears. And to truly comprehend how serious this meant one didn't have to be a die hard MJ fan. Even if you appreciated his music his death touched a little spot in your heart. And its not like the media makes things any better. The man is dead and they still find more garbage to throw on his name. They humiliated his children, I mean do they even deserve this, can't they mourn over their father in peace? Its so sickening I don't even feed into it no more. So yesterday as I was listening to Never Can Say Goodbye, I decided that I wouldn't. Instead I would appreciate the legacy he has left behind through his talent and his music. Words will never express the pain we felt on June 25th, I love you Michael, and I guarantee you he'll never be forgotten. So all the MJ haters, get used to it.
