... Wow.

They say deaths come in threes, and that seems to hold true for celebrities, too. So we had Ed McMahon, and then I heard about Michael Jackson a few hours ago and wondered who was #3. I found out now it was Farrah Fawcett.

Okay, I admit, I was honestly shocked and stunned to hear about Michael Jackson. Not that I'm a really big fan or something, but I mean ... he was Michael Jackson. It just seems incomprehensible to me that he's gone. He was just ... always there. I have TV Guides from 1991 and thereabouts with pictures and articles about him. My youth group once did a music video-type thing to the Jackson 5's song I Want You Back (which I always found extremely catchy and fun). And I admit, I do like song of his songs. (Smooth Criminal, The Man in the Mirror, etc.) As far as the Neverland scandals, you know, I don't know whether there was any truth to them or not. I don't know, and it's not my place to judge. The world will probably never know for certain.

I've been playing the guys' parody of I Want You Back.
