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.

The First Day

Hey, I am here... On the first day of summer vacation. It was an awesome day... well, uh, almost. It was sort of weird, and somewhat painful, but it all turned out alright.

It all started this morning. My nose was so runny, and I had been blowing it from the time I got downstairs. And by the biggest blow my left ear had sort of felt different from the other ear. Soon it started getting better until we went to my dad's clinic. At his office, I was having a great time having lunch with Mom and Dad to showing the office lady, Lisa, this exact blog you, the reader, are reading right now. The bad news was that dad stretched my ear so far that now it is farther away from my head than the other one. Oh, yeah, now all my ear problems are solved. Not just yet. On the ride home I plugged my ears with my fingers to block a sound. But when I pulled my fingers out it began to hurt on my right ear, the opposite ear from the ear that Dad had stretched. I cried for a while about it but soon it got way better once I blew my nose as advice from Dad.

I had a great first day of summer including the time I went to see my grandma at the hospital. And why is she at the hospital? Awesome question. Well, to start back in 06' or 07' grandma had a stroke, sort of major. She's been recovered from that already, but things got bad for her and my parents when my grandpa, or as I called him, Papa, died in October of last year. Just last month she went out to Dallas, Texas to help her daughter, Cherise, my aunt, with their two new twin babies, Ella and Everett, but while down there she had little minor strokes that led to a giant stroke she had here in Tennessee after she came back. Now she is recovering very well by taking Physical Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. It's really fun at the hospital especially because there's a TV in the dining room. The bad part of the TV thing that it only has a limited amount of channels, by that I mean it doesn't have Disney Channel, Disney XD, or Nickelodeon. At least they have the Discovery Channel.

So I've had an awesome day, I want you to have a great summer. Like I said this past month, it's all downhill. But now, we've reached the ground. Have a great summer blog ya' later.
