I'm kinda unsure what to write today, only that I feel a certain sense of unease and loss. It's very strange, but when someone cool dies, it's, of course, always sad. And you might say, "why care about celebrities, you don't really know 'em," but this is not entirely true. If you're a fan of someone, or followed their lives in the news, then you certainly feel closer to them than a complete stranger. It's real. It's what they do. And Michael Jackson was someone we all knew (of). Regardless of his personal life, and getting to know the media's side of the man, his music crossed so many borders and brought such a huge contribution to the music industry, that you can't help but to feel sad about this death. This is my small tribute to MJ - the King of Pop - he honestly deserves all the accolades he's ever received. And I read on www.news24.com that his record sales are being boosted tremendously by the news of his death. As with most artists. Mostly celebrated after death. However, I'm sure the recent record sell-out of tickets for all his planned UK concerts made him realize that he is still loved by millions. Despite the recent bad publicity, downward spiral in sales of his last studio album, and financial troubles he faced. And now, more than ever, I'm sure the world is mourning the death of a legend. Long live the King op Pop!!! No matter a case of black or white!!!PS: Oh, and for everyone that's asking, I'm feeling great and happy today! Bad days are just there to balance out the 'overflow' of good times (I guess?) - but thanks for all the sweet messages on Facebook & Twitter. Feeling strong and ready for a new challenge!!! Wooohoo!!
PSS: Thanks to the best friends I have in this world!! ;)
