Michael Jackson passed away today.
I'm lucky enough that I learned in 05 when my grandfather passed away that life is precious. You are given one life and one life only. Make the best of it. Not only to cherish the weekends, but as well as each and every moment that life brings your way. We are all merely here just bumping around and into each other like particles floating in the wind. Our paths may cross and some may even collide, but as people we experience and learn from each interaction. Michael Jackson showed us all many things.

Beside the obvious that he brought us the music, the lyrics, and the emotion. He also brought us the signature dance moves, the methodical choreography, the vision of his own appearance, his perfectionism in performance, and his flawless entertainment. Forever will last his studded glove, his white socks with black shoes, his red jacket, the aviator sunglasses. the moonwalk, and his spin and lean. I will remember him for his pioneering the Epic Music Video, making the music video into a movie, a global event. He is also responsible for the Epic choreography routine. Even Janet has to give credit to her big bro that he brought the group dance routine above and beyond where it is today. MJ's world concert tours were also Epic. Only a handful of bands can boast bigger grossing world tours, and not many solo performers can compete with what he accomplished internationally. Even his Epic albums spawned so many number one hits, it's mezmerizing that so many hits could come from so few albums.

He was the King of Pop indeed. His songs were heard by each and everyone no matter what walk of life you were. Take time out today to remember where you are. Remember what you are doing. Freeze this moment in time for you to tell the next generation about what you learned today, how you felt, how your life changed.

Yes, my friends we are getting old. A generation is passing. Time does cruel things to everyone. Time we can never get back, and never replace. So the next time someone asks me why I smile all the time, and how I can laugh all the time, you will know. It's not that I don't have the capacity to be serious. I can be serious when I feel like it or when the situation calls for it. But in the meantime and in between time, WHY SO SERIOUS? Live life! This is it folks, this is all we get. Make this your own time. LIVE LIFE!
Song of the Day: Heal the World - Michael Jackson
RIP Michael Jackson
