I realize at this point in the day it is no longer news, but I truly cannot believe that Michael Jackson died today. it's almost as if part of me believed he was going to live forever. As if his legendary reputation was a a lifeline and as long as people kept WOO-ing and grabbing their crotch Michael would live on through infamy. But apparently he like many others throughout time will become legendary and we will be telling our children about what it was like for us when Micahel Jackson died...

...And that whole concept to me is crazy!

I know he got weird and started living a strange life but everyone knows that at one point in time he was an incredible performer, and a lot of people most likely are going to run out and get his greatest hits just so they can relive those few great memories they have of him when they were younger.

It's a funny thing, mortality. No matter how long you live on this earth it's always a surprise when someone is here today and gone tomorrow!

Not to undermine those others who have passed but Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon passed away too! I couldn't believe that either. I can look back for years and remember these 2 on television! It's always weird when celebrities die because you see them and hear about them so often it's as if a part of your life ceases to exist when they go. It's amazing how much we associate with those we've never even met!

Well God bless them all and I hope they have a safe journey to wherever they go!
