mj died today

michael jackson died today and i cannot believe it. personally i'm still reeling from luther's death a few years ago, i'm not really ready to process this too. i'd really thought i'd get to see michael grow old while i did.

and i totally didn't know about it until like 2 hours ago. i mean i'm in guadalajara, minding my business and we did a lot today. it's not like i can overhear people talking about it in spanish, nor is anyone calling me long distance to share that news. so i'm just offline and out of the loop. fred broke the news to me via skype, and i think we were 10 minutes into the conversation before i understood what he was talking about. actually i just caught some clip online while talking to fred, then started putting the pieces together and had to double back to him like oh, THAT'S why ya'll are having a mj marathon in buenos aires. crazy, crazy crazy.

anyway, mj is clearly loved by all my facebook and twitter peeps. once i knew what to look for there was a wealth of love and tributes on people's walls and status. i didn't even feel the need to add to the fray, there is a lot of stuff out there. but here my own:

MJ I WILL MISS YOU.
thriller is the most perfect album ever.

'chest pop/chest pop/chestpopchestpopchestpop'

love,
