Dailies

So it's my birthday today.

Yes, go ahead, I'll wait.


Ok so all I've been getting all day long are text messages and calls going "happy birthday! Oh by the way, did you know Michael Jackson is dead?".

Yes, I know. I'm on the internet for a good 15 hours a day. I'm aware. So stop it already.

Three years ago my uncle was killed in a suicide attack on my birthday. My aunt emails me this morning going "happy bday T. I'll never forget your bday because it was the day Uncle P died"

Gee thanks. Of course my birth isn't a good enough reason to remember it.

Yes, I'm a little annoyed. And I wish all the drama queens would stop with the oh woe is me, MJ is dead exclamations. Shit happens. People die.

That said though, RIP Michael Jackson. You were a strange man, but your music was awesome. I was trying to figure out my favorite song and I was like oh its gotta be Heal the World. But then I realized exactly how many of his songs I really loved. Black and White! Man in the Mirror! Beat it! The Way You Make me Feel! Will You be There!

He kinda was the soundtrack of our youth. What a legend.

Hey happy birthday.

I must say I was pretty surprised by all the outpouring of emotion on MJ, thought he was largely forgotten.

the radio's were sick, crying about an already cried about man.. i understand when they say it once twice but when its every other minute for god knows how long.. poor dead man's soul wouldn't be left in peace.

on to wishes.. i do hope you will live through this year and i hope you will live it well enough to want to live another year.
Hair will start turning colour soon and your skin will require more moisturizing.. creams enriched with vitamin E is recommended by most. I however state - olive oil - is the best :)

considering the fact you're not the one dying on your birthday i'd say count your blessing and quite ya bitching fool.

chill out and have a great year!

I was standing in the middle of Times Sq when they confirmed his death. It's shit like that, grandeur, that makes ppl emotional.
I blasted his music for 2 days. It's true, brought me back to the wonder years.

It could be worse. I could've died on your birthday.

Pot calling the kettle black.

This from a drama queen who could not sympythise with a loss of a loved one of her own aunt.

"I wish all the drama queens would stop with the oh woe is me, MJ is dead exclamations. Shit happens. People die."
