MJ Death? tell me about it i feel the same

luvsJack · 07-16-2009, 06:06 PM

Teacups, you are going to always find it sad. He is definitely gone too soon. Its always sad when someone that makes such a mark on culture is gone. You can't help but think, no one will ever have that kind of impact again.

I remember when Elvis died. (I was like 13 or 14) It was sooo sad. I cried every time they showed the "Aloha from Hawaii" show, which was pretty often. I felt like that song said "the day the music died". And I still think its sad. Especially thinking of how he was in the comeback special and then to what had become of him by the time he died. It was such a shame that fame had done that to him.

And it is such a shame that fame did that to MJ too.

I find myself waking up in the middle of the night thinking about him and then suddenly thinking that maybe it was a dream.

But it wasn't.

arielsleepingbeauty · 07-16-2009, 07:28 PM

I feel the same way.
These past couple of weeks i have felt sad about it, but felt silly to say it to anyone.
I am relieved to know that I am not the only one who feels this way.
This morning my mom came over to pick up my daughters and I was watching GMA which was showing something about MJ. My mom saw it and said that she can't believe he is really gone.

He did touch so many lives.

Since you guys are as sappy as I am I can tell you this... I bought a few of the memorial magaiznes and they are sitting on a table sort of in a walk thru area. Every time I walk past I have this little ritual of making a cross with my finger over his face.

It *is* terribly sad, even 3 weeks later, because when someone who's seemingly always been around, whether on the radio or television or what have you, suddenly isn't out there in the world anymore, it's a shock.

I am also surprised at how much his death has bothered me. It IS VERY sad. And I am not normally one to really "care" about celebrities. But this one hits very hard.

But cheer up teacups, and everybody that misses him. He is finally surrounded with peace and happiness.

I miss him too. Rest in Peace Michael.

You are so right.

It is very sad.

Watching that Pepsi accident video really rattled me. I feel like we are finally starting to see the full picture about how and why he became hooked on prescription drugs and the reason he did all the plastic surgeries. It's still hard to believe he is gone. I am addicted to watching the news and watching his videos.
