For those of you that follow me on twitter, you know that I made it my duty to go out and have a fun night with the girls. Due to that, my site has been neglected today. I couldn’t let this day pass, however, without celebrating the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson‘s birthday. His contribution to music is unexplainable and can’t be touched by any other artist after him. I’ve decided to post my favourite videos from MJ and also an audio of one of my favourite songs. This song makes me cry every time I listen to it, so I’m not sure why I torture myself with replays.

Michael Jackson “Human Nature.”

Enjoy “Black or White,” “The Way You Make Me Feel,” “Scream,” and “Earth Song.”

I honestly can’t believe it’s been an entire year since MJ passed. I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was the day of my cousin’s high school graduation and I was on twitter (as usual), fooling around and blabbling about nothing. I saw the first tweet go up (I wish I could remember from whom), but I instantly started doing my research. Shortly after, I hit up TMZ (the ‘firsts” in the blogging game) and there it was. They had a lot of information in very little time. At that point, CNN was so behind (I still think that’s why twitter became so popular) there was no point in watching them, tweeting was the only way to go. After everything was confirmed, I remember going the entire day (myself and my family) saying, “I can’t believe Michael Jackson is dead“. Mind you, I do not know him personally, I’ve never met him, so for this to hit me and others so hard, was surreal. I remembered crying (although, I’m certain is was mixed emotions from my dad’s and uncle’s death), but nonetheless, I cried. You start remembering people (especially the good things) when they’re gone. I listened to old music I had of him, watched old videos (MTV and BET didn’t help), he was everywhere. I’m not one to go on and on about celebrity deaths, but for whatever reason, MJ‘s death hit me and I truly felt it. I always felt alone arguing with others about the crap in his life (including the trials) and I never felt that he was “creepy” or “weird,” for whatever reason, I understood him. I looked deeper into what he had to say, sure it was easy to judge him, but he had a place in my heart and that made me want to look beyond the headlines. The lawyer in me just won’t let someone off without an argument a winning argument.
Anyway, this was all written to say, I’m still saddened by his death because it could have been prevented. There are so many questions and so little answers. I purchased a shirt recently (because I was online surfing and can’t help but use my credit card *sigh) that said, “LEGENDS NEVER DIE” with a picture of MJ on it. He was truly a legend and an icon. May his soul continue to rest in peace.
