Michael Jackson

“In a world filled with hate,
we must still dare to hope.
In a world filled with anger,
we must still dare to comfort.
In a world filled with despair,
we must still dare to dream.
And in a world filled with distrust,
we must still dare to believe.”
Michael Jackson

I have a thing for Michael Jackson. I know, ever since he died everyone is obsessed, but my obsession started long before his tragic death.

Back in middle school, I remember my best friend at the time, Alaina, and I would always listen to a Jackson 5 cd. Soon after, we started becoming more and more obsessed with Michael. We made t-shirts while he was on trial that said "smooth but not a criminal". That summer of his trial, we were at the beach together with my family. The day the verdict of his trial was to be announced, we were out and about shopping and eating lunch. We realized at luncht aht we might not make it home in time for the verdict so we made everyone finish eating quick so that we could make it back to our beach house in time to hear the news. It was a funny day.

I have accumulated lots of Michael Jackson things over the years. Several t-shirts, pins, books, movies and all of his music. I have done reports on his life several times in school and always enjoy watching specials about him on tv. He was truly one of a kind.
