Michael Jackson - may his legend live on and on...

[laurainlimbo]

I think I'm the last person on my friends list to find out that Michael Jackson died.
I wrote about Farrah Fawcett this morning, and I just checked the headlines and saw the news about Michael Jackson. I'm in shock. Seriously it can't be true.

This has been a really big day. I'm going to post later about some really big changes coming up in our lives too. But now if I write anything it will be overshadowed by this really huge news about the King of Pop!

RIP Michael. I will always love you.

I didn't care much about Ed McMahon - I wasn't a fan of the tonight show, and Ed was annoying. but Farrah was such a big idol when I was younger, for my older sister especially. and even though I didn't own Michael's albums, I loved his music and he was so prominent in the '80s, when I was in high school. a big part of my youth and MTV culture.
nah, you're not callous, you're like my husband who's much more concerned with economic news than about entertainment news. you show that you're a very concerned and conscientious person to worry about the people in Iran. I worry about that too, but I'm not sure what we can do.

anyway, stay tuned - I'm hoping for a moment or two to blog today about my big life changes: we're leaving Chicago. and I might be in Japan next spring!

more later!

Oh, I definitely understand why some people are so moved when an icon dies... I understand it, I just don't get it personally. And in the interest of full disclosure, I was never a big fan of his... talented, yes. Just not my bag, personally. :-)

Oh my! In Japan??? Awesome! I can't wait to hear all about it!!!

I just wrote about my plans in my blog. It's for a filtered list, but you should be able to read it.
it's a big change, but I'm excited.

and as for Michael Jackson, I totally understand. I'm not a huge fan, but I just feel sad anyway.
