King of Pop and an Angel

On June 25, 2009, I was eating breakfast with my dad at Dennys. I took him to doctors appointment and we needed to take our meds, so we went to grub. Because of the twitterverse, i found out that Farrah Fawcett had lost her battle to cancer. I told my dad, who responded with "I remember her poster. she was beautiful," of course, he was refering to the iconic shot of her in a red one peice swinsuit and that one of a kind smile.

I headed to work later, and was chit-chatting with my co-workers when my friend, Karilo, sent me a text that Michael Jackson was rushed to the hospital. I told my co-workers and in 2 seconds we were on TMZ trying to find more info. A lil while later, news broke out the The King Of Pop had died. At this moment, the world stopped for Michael. The internet and all social network sites crashed as fans all over were spreading the news. Millions of people began mourning his death. My dad called me in the midst of this to let me know that Michael had died. I can't speak for everyone, but i believe the world truly lost an iconic figure.......a legend. Despite all his antics and that tabloid coverage, whether true or false, his influence in Pop culture as truly something. I will never see another Michael Jackson, at least not in my lifetime.

I won't go on with more details, but it was trly a sad day. Its one of those things that when you look back in discussing this, you will always remember where you were or what you were doing.

RIP Farrah Fawcett.

RIP Michael Jackson, your life was rarely peaceful.
