I must confess, I watched every minute of the Michael Jackson memorial, funeral service. You know you did too. That man has had so much influence in my life and I never even knew him, it's beyond ridiculous. I actually got choked up when his daughter spoke, so sad.
On a lighter note though, how funny is it watching the media's insane coverage of anything and everything Michael Jackson, example, finding out the craziest trivia on the King. Like how he owned the skeleton of the elephant man, bought an Oscar, and owned the rights to the anthem for South Carolina or was it South Dakota or South Africa or... South America? Either ways it's impressive. Seriously how much more fun would it be pretending to accept your Oscar if you used a real one instead of your shampoo bottle? Anyways "Thriller" will always be one of my favorite music videos, ever, period. Rest in peace Micheal.
