Michael Jackson Dead at 50 - His nose at 20

My initial reaction to hearing Michael Jackson died was "aw that's sad", but then I thought "Why should I be sad?". Any sadness was merely selfish. Thoughts of death and feeling how mortal I am. I was born in 1980 and now the gigantic pop start of that time has died, I must be old! Really heart warming empathic thoughts for him.. yeah right. In reality I didn't know him and I don't know his family, we didn't share moments of joy with each other. The only connection I ever had with Michael Jackson was me on a dance floor and him on a record. It's sad for his family and the children who claimed to have been molested by him (only for him to be acquitted). My hopes are he is at peace, no long fodder for the media freak that he later became, and that the children who accused him get some sort of closer from this as well. I think the biggest lesson to be learned here is: Parents don't beat your kids, don't verbally/mentally/emotionally/physically abuse them, over all just try as hard as you can not to f*** up your kids, 'cause they'll just turn in to bigger, weirder, sadder, creatures then you could have ever imagined! Oh and they'll might sell billions of records at the price of their privacy and sanity!

. . . Or maybe Michael is on a beach somewhere sipping a mojito with Tupac and Biggie!
