Don't Stop Till You Get Enough!
Yesterday after 6:00pm est was extremely interesting for me. I finished watching The Game on BET, next up 106 and Park. Within the first few seconds I knew something was wrong because the livest audience was silent and the host Terrance and Rocsi had a look of devistation. They made the announcement and I immediately turned to CNN and MSNBC. After that I hit Facebook and Twitter on my laptop and boy was there a buzz {I heard this morining that Facebook's traffic was double it's normal capacity and Twitter was triple}.
As the night progressed and the devistating news hit the airwaves I flipped from BET to MTV for the musical tributes because I could'nt stomach mainstream media's continued allegations and speculation. I was enraged by this entertainment show (name not worth mentioning) because they had a grim picture posted and horrible commercial, for lack of better non-explicit phrase...they suck! At any rate as much as I desired to be in New York at the Apollo Theater, I know I was in the right place; at home with my 7 month old daughter passing on the importace of this moment through music and osmosis...and I think she got it (she watched the entire "Beat It" video and that's a rarity, if it's not Baby Einstein it does'nt keep her attention). I can't wait to share with her the impact that this GIANT had on our culture. He was beyond talented!
Lessons learned: Live your life, it's yours. Excuses are like exits on the highway, if you get off on every one you won't make it to your destination (thanks Grady). Don't stop till you get enough! Of what you may ask, and I say everything; love, desires, dreams, ambitions, relationships dispite all obstagles keep thriving because your future is yours for the taking.
Rest in Peace Michael Joseph Jackson Your Legacy will Echo throughout Eternity!
