disbelief.

i am in shock. never thought i would be writing a post about this so soon. i just can't believe he's dead. now, i never anticipated mj to die an "old" man. he was strange and i know he was in many people's "dead pool" years ago, heck i can't believe he wasn't assassinated sometime during that "alleged" child abuse molestation trial. but at the young age of 50, just 2 months shy of his 51st birthday. it's just too soon.

i'm sad for his mother and father. it's not right for a parent to lose their child. trust me, i know.

i'm sad for his siblings. a family that, despite their struggles, was a strong, close family and loved one another dearly.

i'm sad for his fans (me included). his music and dancing was out of this world and will never be compared to anyone. i'm sad for those fans that shelled out the money to go to london in a few weeks to see him in his final concert. a concert that i seriously, seriously, considered attending. a final concert that will never be.

he will be remembered for many things, both good and bad. but it's his passion for the art of music that he should be remembered for...that's what i'll be remembering him for.
