He Was A Thriller



Former king of pop. Musical genius. My idol. Announced today about forty minutes before 5:30. My idol, Michael Jackson, has been confirmed dead, of a heart attack, at age 50. His albums were awesome. His songs were awesome. He was awesome.
Michael Jackson died in current hometown, Los Angeles. One of the greatest singers in the history of Earth is gone. His fame was invincible as he was a hit at age 9. He and his brothers had formed a group known as the Jackson 5. The band in which I sing songs from.

The seventh child of nine had a great life in his youth. As he had made many hits including, ABC, I Want You Back, The Love You Save, and Ben. His solo career went even better with other singles, Shake Your Body, Billie Jean, Beat It, P.Y.T (Pretty Young Thing). And the famous song known to everyone who is anyone, or at least the people from his time, Thriller, which was the biggest selling album in the world and produced 7 hit singles along with 50 million copies sold worldwide.

To me the controversies mean nothing. Jackson had it all. I feel bad for him wasting his money, but in his whole life, he did as much good as Disney's Friends for Change can do to the Earth. His career was a success. His come-back tour was going to hit the U.K. later this year. Rescheduled for never once his death was confirmed.

After 50 years, he made history, being compared to other artists of his day. Mostly Elvis Presley. I and his family of a wife and three kids, Paris, Prince, and third nicknamed, "Blanket", will especially miss him as much as he will miss being alive. As he was a Thriller.

Best Friends

Maxwell here. The man who runs the blog with already 20 posts. And this is Journey to Tennessee. If you don't know why I'm making a cool introduction on the internet... well. I was trying to act like Ryan Seacrest or someone like that. Anyway, today I want to talk to you, the readers out there, about my friends. Or best friends at least.

Now, you've heard of my cousin, Braxton Anderson, my sort of new Tennessee best friend. And you've heard of my Missouri friend, Kohl Haun. But in St. Louis I have a very, special dude who is a lot like me. His name is David. Last name: Pisarkewitz. Yep, easy to say, hard to spell. At least it's hard to spell for you.

We are awesome buddies, me and him have a neverending friendship. The first time we saw each other was at lunch in the 1st grade. Our first game... I do not remember. We love playing wizards and superheroes.

Wizards is our favorite game. We like making up our own spells, charms, and potions. And we usually team up with some of our other friends, who also live in St. Louis, Nathan and Lili. One time we made a spell to switch bodies and pretended to be each other which was really fun. We miss each other now that I have moved to Tennessee. We're thinking about getting a web cam to talk to each other from our different states over the computer.

I'd love for you to meet him. Maybe if we ever get the web cam we could get it on video and put it up on my the blog.

Anyway, Scout Camp was over on the last day we had a space derby with model rockets. Each cub/boy scout gets one time. Except for me. The first time I went it didn't go one bit. It just went straight to the ground. The second, it did the same. But, the third was different. With a lot of hard work and help from Dad, I won.

While at Scout Camp, I made a new friend, Jack. He's a lot like me... and David. He even has a family cartoon they do monthly on Youtube. They call it Fred, the Lovable, Huggable, Zombie. Which gave me insperation to do a cartoon too. 2 actually. I'll tell about em' later.

But, I like having friends. I guess this wraps it up. Have a great summer. Max out.

20th Blog Post Ever!

Hello, it's the guy who has a name is spelled M-A-X. And it's time to celebrate the 20th blog post in the history of Journey to Tennessee. Yes, it's been that long and it is also our 5th month anniversary, since it is the month of June. It's like an awesome holiday or something like that. Like on May 25th, Star Wars Day. Oh, and I'm having a great summer. If any of you asked. I'm so happy, and you should to. Anyway, the news, I'm going to Scout Camp this week, it started on Monday. It's awesome, we did archery, crafts, volleyball, BB guns, and one of my favorites, water games. I loved it. Anyway, let's get on with our online celebration.


Blogger has allowed me to create this awesome blog. That started out with my first ever blog post, To The Muny, that led to, Psych... I'm not in, and it all went from there. But the one blog post I appreciate is the one with my first comment, April Fools! The comment was from my Aunt Angela a fellow blogger. Also the latest post, The First Day, set a summer version of Journey to Tennessee along with this one.


Future posts will be awesomer, like me and my cousin, Braxton Anderson, who's also going to my Scout Camp, are planning to have him as a Journey to Tennessee guest blogger. And every Friday night this summer, started last Friday, me, my mom, and dad have a Summer Family Movie Nights. The first movie we watched was, Sky High, a Disney superhero movie that was awesome. The next will be Spy Kids 2: Island of Lost Dreams.




I'm having a great time but this celebration will not end. I'll be trying to reach a 30 blog posts. So I might see ya' later on this week. So bye, and only 204 days till the end of 2009.
