So I log into Facebook after taking a nap this afternoon (had to catch up on some sleep after a friend's 21st birthday), and this is what I come across:
I then log into my Twitter, and yep, it's no different:
I just heard about Farrah Fawcett dying on CNN earlier today *before* the nap, and now
Michael Jackson??? Crazy...
So what was your most memorable MJ moment? One of mine was when I was about five or six years old... My family just received a package from the U.S. with all sorts of goodies, including a VHS tape filled with recordings all sorts of sitcoms, cartoons, and music videos that we couldn't see on
AFN (we were stationed at the time in
Pattonville, a U.S. Army base in Stuttgart, Germany).
One of the videos (which was more of a short film) was this brand new Michael Jackson song called
Thriller. I had never seen any horror movies up to this point, so *hoooly crap* that Werewolf scene scared the bejesus outta me. I thought it was all over, and then, a few minutes later, ZOMGWTF ZOMBIES!!! And that narrator's voice! *shudder* Scary overload for a six-year-old!
Luckily, The Jackson 5's
Can You Feel It was also recorded and included somewhere else in the tape, so that made things better and made me forget about the horror that was Thriller. ^^
Well, you will be missed, Mr. Jackson. I hope that people remember you for your greatness, and nothing more.
Aaaanywho, I need to get going... Sorry btw about not having my mix up yet! I was super sick these past few days (imagine trying some banging trance & breakbeat with a headache)... (>_<)

don't you find it kind of sad how he was ridiculed and brutalized while alive. now everyone wants to pay tribute to him.
@miss_lyrical - I know, right? I guess that's unfortunately what ends up coming with being placed on such a high pedestal for anyone... It's just that MJ was placed pretty much placed the highest, and as a result, ridiculed and brutalized the worst.
When I hear about random celebs doing weird and unusual things in public, I start to wonder if I'd start behaving that way if I were in their shoes, as I'm sure that I would probably start to lose touch with reality after having paparazzi and gossip writers hovering around me all day too (among whatever else celebs have to deal with)...
