YESTERDAY

yesterday is a day ill never forget. while sitting at the nail shop my phone vibrates with an message reading "MICHAEL JACKSON DEAD AT 50 DUE TO CARDIAC ARREST, R.I.P. MJ". I instantly checked the entertainment news from my cell phone and got nothing. i waited and checked again and still nothing. until the text messages started to overflow my phone with r.i.p michael jackson and my cell phone started to ring with calls saying, "girl have you heard?" and "girl did you hear?!". i was floored and in disbelief. told my nail tech nancy what i heard and she turned the television on immediately! we picked up kcal9 and there it was...Michael Jackson hospitalized due to cardiac arrest. it hadnt been confirmed whether or not it was true and i was really hoping it wasnt. moments later they put everyone's wondering to rest because it was true!! michael joseph jackson had passed away at 50 as a result of result of cardiac arrest! my mouth was wide open because i couldnt believe it! this musical icon, this legend that i grew up listening to, watching, imitating has died! its crazy! it still doesnt feel real! while driving home all you heard was micahel jackson songs and watching any music tv station had nothing on but michael jackson videos to consistently remind you if his passing. all i can say is the heart goes out to the jackson family! it feels as if a part of my childhood memories have been changed dramatically. you look at icons as if they are invicible and then the unexpected happens and there is the reality staring you in the face. R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON. YOU HAVE TOUCHED SOME MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES WITH YOUR LYRICS, MOVES AND JUST ALL AROUND PERSONALITY. YOUR MEMORY WILL LIVE ON FOREVER!
