Michael Jackson

Hey guys, I'm going to take a break from the normal schtick to talk about the big news today.



Today, June 25th, 2009, Michael Jackson died. It's a sad day. I was actually editing a dance recital today at work, and one of the songs was "Thriller". I come home to my sister running out of the back yard telling me Michael Jackson had a heart attack. Not gonna lie, it was pretty upsetting. I'm a Michael Jackson fan, I'll freely admit it. He wrote some amazing songs, and sold more on ONE record in the US than anyone else. He's written songs that EVERYONE knows. If you don't know a Michael Jackson song, I don't believe you. Thriller changed the history and set the bar on music videos. He single handedly changed the music business.

And yet, some people still have to be dicks. Some people have to make fun of him. Sure, he was a pedophile. And I'm not gonna look past that. What he did there was wrong, and I don't approve of it at all. But I'm going to remember Michael as an artist, not a pedophile. Some people have to make jokes and try to make light of the situation. There is no light to make of it. A legend died, along with two other legends (Ed McMahon, and Farah). He revolutionized music, and yet you have the audacity to make jokes about his wrongs? Did people make jokes about John Lennon's drug abuse when he died? How about Kurt Cobain? No, it's simple politeness not to. You think you're being funny, but in reality, you're just being rude. You're disrespecting a man that changed music, so you're insulting a man that changed what you listen to. And to those who think that he was no big deal, you're wrong. This passing is just sad. So to the people out there making jokes, just stop. You're looking like a giant moron.

Well, there are my thoughts. Rest In Peace, Michael, you aren't forgotten.

Oh hey, I'm back! Yeah, I was out for a while, but I'm back now, and that's what matters! Let's get back on topic now...

YOU KNOW WHAT I HATE?

Anyone who can't properly use headphones. I mean, are they really that hard to use? You just plug them in, set them at the correct volume, and listen to music. But, no, some douchebags just HAVE to go the extra mile and turn up their headphones ALL the way and wear them around their neck. Usually I don't care, because I'll have mine in. However, if I don't, it's a nightmare. Some people use a playlist, and listen to different songs. Keyword: SOME. Some buttmunches just HAVE to keep playing the latest Soulja Boy, Lil Wayne, 3OH!3, or some other crappy mainstream artist's song. I don't care how much you have to "Turn Your Swag On", I don't want to hear it. And if you tell them to turn it off, you know what they'll do? They'll pause the song, say "What?", you repeat the question, and they say "Whatevah" and continue doing it. I just want to bring a steel pipe on the bus and do some batting practice with their heads. Every single MP3 Player or iPod comes with a pair of headphones, and if they don't, they are cheap! Just for the love of god, plug them in!!!

And that's it for Today, kids! Thanks for reading!

I'm Sean, and it's great to be back.
