R.I.P MJ

Im not one to rant and rave about someone's dance moves simply because i dont know enough about dancing to appreciate it like some people do... but when i watch michael jackson dance, all i have to say is damn! that guy had some moves. Everything from his patened moonwalk...to his stall on his toes...to his spins and flow and rhythm. The guy was one of a kind. I remember when i was working for a catering company a couple years ago and after we hosted a big event we were washing the dishes, we were exhausted after spending all day on our feet running around and it was about 2 :30 in the morning. Somebody turned on the radio and "bad" came on and everyone just started dancing and singing and got so into it. Ever since then i realized why he was so big and why people loved him so much. I also remember when i was on my mission their was a family we taught and this little boy named Joseph had a beat up copy of thriller on video and was so excited to show it to us because he thought since we were also from America that we knew MJ. Of course we weren't able to watch it but everytime we went back to that house joseph always had thriller playing in his room and would try and copy his moves and sing like MJ. He really was an icon in every nook and cranny of this world. Hopefully people will remember the good about him and not the bad. Im sure he is in a better place now and doesnt feel so "lonely" as he reportedly seemed to feel throughout his life. RIP Michael.

Thriller...probably the coolest music video ever.
