this is a very nice thread =)
well, my "celebration" started at midnight, when my phone reminded me it was Michael's bday, and I was watching the american dream at the same time on vh1. It was interesting though because at that exact moment they were performing "Never can say goodbye". Then when i woke up they were playing the movie again, so i decided to switch to BET where they were playing his videos ALL DAY! =) and i would switch it back and forth between vh1 and bet. At night, I went out with my fam and on the radio they were only playing his music. I got all excited when my favorite song, "the way you make me feel" came on. Thats the point where the night got bitter -__- My mom, dad, and sister started criticizing me about the entire thing. They were like omg, your taking this beyond, blah blah, i was like wtf! the radio is playing their music and i'm singing along, sorry i have no control over that. Then my dad started yelling over and over again "he is dead he is dead" and i broke down into tears. Then my mom got mad because i was crying and ignoring everyone at dinner. they don't understand how much he means to me. I actually care about him, and I think what gets me the most is that he was never fully happy on earth, the world was unfair to him and thats the only thing that really makes me cry. Thinking that he was treated badly publicly all his life. So my mom continued with her "you don't even know him, your not his family crap". and it got to a point where i was just MAD, not sad but mad. And i told her, look lay off. and thats it. Me and my sis went to the movies at a mall. I was still a bit upset when this young girl, had to be around 10 or 11 was wearing a shirt that said "the king of pop" and had on a fedora hat. A smiled as she walked by and it totally brightened my night. And now they are still playing MJ stuff on tv, so i guess i'm just going to watch that.
