This must have taken so much time, I love this so much.

I first became familiar with Michael Jackson in about the 4th grade, 1999-2000 school year.  There was a whole Michael Jackson music video marathon, and I sat and watched totally glued to the TV.  Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough and Thriller, awesome.  I loved it so much.  I also knew of him when he was little and was cute singing the ABC’s song with the Jackson 5.

A few years later there was all of the nonsense about his skin and surgeries and I wasn’t sure what was true and what was a lie, but I really did not care about what he did to his own body.  I did feel bad that he was so unhappy with himself.  When things started happening with the little boys I then lost interest and I felt terrible about what he was doing.  This did not make his old music any less great, I just definitely did not like him as anymore.

Yesterday, June 25, 2009, at about 2:30 pm, 50 year old Michael was pronounced dead in the UCLA Medical Center by the La Police Department.  The only reason this police force, known for dealing with drug dealers and robberies, was handling this was because it was such a high profile death.  So many people were there and are upset because of this, so they needed a strong force to keep the crowd under control.

So, an end has come to an internationally recognized star.  Goodbye, MJ.

MJ through the ages:
