Goodbye Michael Jackson- We Will Miss You

[sonicspin]

I remember when I was little, my mother told me about an amazing man. She showed me his music and his videos, and it was like seeing something make-believe become real, true magic! Since then I've always wanted to be able to do what he could, I danced, I sang, I watched, I listened, I believed, and to all, I still do. The impact Michael Jackson had on my life, and everyone else's is absolute and will last forever! Though I don't want to believe the man has passed away, I take comfort in the fact the legend will also be eternal. One of my life dreams was to meet Michael Jackson and tell him how much his music affected me, but now the best I will ever be able to tell him is goodbye...

I come here today to pay my respects to Michael Jackson, with my brothers and sister of the video game community. Share how you feel here...

Long Live the King

Not to be rude or anything, but you shouldn't be mourning his passing. To mourn his loss and wish he never died is selfish. (Not saying you are doing that.) He finally left this planet, a planet filled with hate and prejudice. He's in a MUCH happier place now, far from all of the accusations and racist pricks. Celebrate his passing, not cry over it.

He would never want to see tears coming from the eyes of anyone.

Will man lament the state he should envie?
To have soon scap'd worlds and fleshes rage,
And if no other miserie, yet age?

OT: I'm sure a lot of people are going to miss him to. He was a talented musician, and an astonishingly successful one at that.

A text I got from a mate of mine, about half an hour after MJ's death was announced:

"Michael Jackson has just dies, the debate begins... bury him or recycle him"

My friends are assholes.

GAH! Don't do that! My brain is in a very fragile state right now. That quote almost broke it! D:

Agreed.

People really need to get over this. Also, Ed McMahon died this week and he wasn't mourned nearly as much.

I've never understood Michael Jackson's celebrity cult, and I never will.
