We are born, we nurse, we crawl, we walk, we talk, we go to school, and all the while we are learning. We start with letters, numbers, names of objects, and elvolve into dates, events, calculations and all the while we are processing. We are lectured on timelines which have shaped our past to create our future and all the while we are thinking. We experiment and try, we guess and study to know answers and all the while we are creating. I used to think of "History" as grand moments of the past that were on page of a syllabus for me to memorize, and I was yearning. Yearning for my own part of "History". Events that one day my grandchildren would want to interview me about for their own classes. I am now in the midst of my own life and destiny realizing in such a short period of time I have seen so much History that are now on text book pages. The world is different from when i was born, already. Cell phones have been created, Mp3 players, Internet, Cloning, Monumental Natural Disasters, Terrorism, A very public sex scandal in the White House to The First African American President of The United Stated voted into office, as well as a Woman running for President at the same time, Stalk Market Crash, Economic highs and lows, and all the while the human race continuing to cope. Somewhere in the middle of huge global change, there was a man born to entertain the world. He was Michael Jackson, and perhaps following a list of such great "History" his existence seems smaller, but the truth be told, he was/is single handedly the most well known performer/musician/singer/entertainer/icon to affect and cross multiple generations all at once WORLD WIDE!!! He is the only man who could die and send wild fire across a globe almost instantaneously. His death is another part of History, and I am saddened and in awe that it is in my young adult life. The world is a little bit dimmer today since this star has been extinguished, but he molded me and so many others in ways we didn't even see happening. I didn't know I was apart of history when I was watching Thriller, putting on a white glove, moonwalking, referncing a bad nose job (that's right, i said it) and yearning to be apart of something that was already apart of me. Thank you Michael. Thank you for your contribution to History and to my life, for your music and your gifts. For making kids my age all over the world apart of something that will live on forever all the while reaching out to more and more as the music lives on. History has once again been made. Rest, Peace, Love, Light. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
