Well I had a great night last night. One of my BFF's, Wes, came in for visit. We pulled out my Michael Jackson cd and dance and sang all night. He actually bought "Off the Wall" and "Thriller" Vinal records for $5 two weeks before Michael Jackson passed away. Speaking of which, I'm watching Michael Jackson's memorial service now. Controvery aside...look at the impact this guy had on the world. Smokey Robinson just read 2 heartfelt letters: one from Diana Ross, one from Nelson Mandella on the impact he had on their lives. Maya Angelou also felt compelled to write something....beautiful. He wrote songs like "Man in the Mirror" and "heal the world"....he didn't just talk about making the world a better place, he obsessed over it. I could go on and on about him but i'm just going to stop. I can only hope I leave a legacy like that (the impact, not the scale) when I pass away. Alright, I wrote all that two hours ago, now the service is over and no joke, i have cried myself sick. It was perfect, if you didn't get to see it then look it up. His daughter made me BAWL, and like his brother, Marlon said, "maybe now people will leave him alone." I had a lot more to write about but I guess I'll save it for another time. I am much more overwhelmed than I thought I would be..... R.I.P.
