The day Michael Joseph Jackson died was a very sad moment for a lot people. I was born in the spring of 1984 so that puts me right in the middle of the Thriller to Bad album eras. Michael Jackson was 1st the celebrity I looked up to. Long before I discovered basketball or even rap music there he was. I remember getting my ass beat for "moon walking" in my socks across the living room floor in front the TV to Smooth Criminal. 1 of the best times of my life is when I dressed as him for Halloween in pre-school. I remember the glitter glove, white socks, & shoes. Till this day, when I go the club & his music comes on I feel like a kid again. My eyes open wide as saucers then I begin to impersonate his dance moves. Regardless of what his personal issues may be I will always see him with a childlike innocence. People may not understand why I have taken the death of a complete stranger so hard but for me he was more than an entertainer. He was the 1st person I ever wanted to be like. Before I could put into words how much I love my family, I knew that I loved him & his music. So with his passing, its like part of my childhood has gone with him. When I listen to his music I just shake my head in disbelief at his genius. His music is like listening to Mozart or Chopin. I can close my eyes & just drift off because it is that magical to me. So on June 25th, I didn't just lose a great entertainer in whom I admire but I lost a close friend. RIP Michael Joseph Jackson, you were dearly loved by this man here.
