The Day That Michael Jackson Died

The day Michael Jackson died was June 25th 2009. That day is today. I woke up at 11 am...which is 2 hours later than I normally wake up. I took a shower and gave my baby a bath in record time getting out of the house at noonish. Today's agenda consisted of returning a dress that I had just bought yesterday mainly because I decided I was too broke to have the dress. Yay $20 in my wallet. But I was still overwhelmingly broke because I got a Worlds of Fun trip two days ahead and a cell phone bill of $140 pending. Not to mention insurance that my sis had to pay for me and diapers, wipes, and who knows what else pending. UGH! I do not make enough for all this. Since summer started, being a lowly waitress at Steak n Shake just insn't cutting it. I haven't made even as much as $40 in a very long time. Each night I go home with about $20 or $25 and it's gone in gas and food by just about the next day. SUCKS! Well today after only being able to put $6 in gas (which by the way is gone already) before work I couldn't bare it anymore. I broke down. My eyes couldn't hold back the frustrated tears. The best I could do was cover them up with my oversized sun glasses. When I had to go into work moments after tearing up all my co-workers weren't buying it. They kept on asking me whats wrong but I didn't want to talk.

Hearing about MJ dying didn't make my day any better. I didn't exactly grow up listening to MJ but I have always liked a great amount of his songs. I know he wasn't a perfect person but despite his flaws he was still a legend. A FREAKIN LEGEND. He is like Elvis. He is someone that will never be forgotten. He will always be an icon. There will be Progressive Auto Insurance commercials with people immitating him. There will probably be people constantly believing that he is still alive just like people and Elvis, or people and Tupac. "I saw MJ today!" haha. I just can't believe that someone so great is gone. Someone who made the music that we love today; someone who developed the art of the music video that artist copy and spill out thousands of dollars to make; someone who inspired so many of the artist that we support. I couldn't believe when I heard some people saying how they could care less if MJ died. That is a shame. It doesn't matter the mistakes he mad (or was accused of making)or the flawed personality or behaviors he had, I don't like to hear about anyone dying. It hurts. IDK Y it hurts so much but it does. Maybe it's because I realize that life is hella short. Whatever it is, MJ, please RIP.

Anyway, the day Michael Jackson died, in my case ended by hearing Shay and Noah chase each other around threatening to bite the other butts haha and going on a spider hunt in Noahs room to teach him to be brave (unlike me). It's 11:55...lol I was about to say that I didn't think we'd end the day by killing the spider but we just did. Well I didn't lol HELL TO THE NAW. My sis killed it and Noah followed her with his shoe to "extra" kill it. lol. My brave baby. I love him. Anyways...what happend with you on the day the Michael Jackson died? RIP MJ! Good Night.
