Childhood Memories...

One of my youngest memories is of when I was around 2 or 3. I remember sitting in an apartment in our building that was below ours getting ready to watch (what I believe to be) the first showing of Michael Jackson's Thriller video. There were a bunch of is gathered around a TV sitting on the floor. I can still remember how scared I got once the giant contacts were put in his eyes. LOL!

It's really sad how Michael Jackson's life and death came about. He was one of my most idolized celebrities since I was that age. When he died I was in total shock, as many others were I'm sure, and it wasn't until his service that I came to realize that he was really gone. Over the years all we heard was all the bad things happening to him so in a way it was bittersweet for him. At least his music will live on along with each and every one of our memories that corresponds with them.
