Michael Jackson.

A Living Legend. The King of Pop. The Greatest Icon of his Generation. Michael Jackson.

On June 25, 2009, 2:26pm in the United states, Michael Jackson passed away, at the age of 50.

I woke up today, and the first thing i heard on the local FM through my radio is that Michael Jackson passed away. And the first thing that raced through my mind was: IMPOssIBLE. NO FREAKIN' wAY. but the sombre tone of the DJs were telling me otherwise. And then I went: "Fuck."

Everywhere. Everyone. In the whole world. People are talking about it. they can't believe it. neither can it.

Throughout the whole morning, i was getting the goosebumps. My eyes were welling up. For realz. and i listened to him on my ipod. on the radio. and hearing people talk about him.

He brought the meaning of "Pop" to a whole new level. He was a performer. a breakthrough singer whose songs are still relevant in today's society.

He was an idol. he was my inspiration. he will forever be loved. by the world.

Thought i would post a very meaningful quote from Taraji P. Henson (Queenie in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button):

Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody is watching

Although the original quote was from either Mark Twain or Satchel Paige, depending on the sources, and it goes something like this (once again, differents sources will quote it differently):

Dance like nobody's watching;
love like you've never been hurt.
Sing like nobody's listening;
live like it's heaven on earth

Depending on how u want to interpret it, you can rearrange it anyway u want, the last phrase being the most important one to you.

**on another note: i decided i'm not going to let old fuddy-duddies who do nothing but fail people all day determine whether i can drive or not.
