i know we make light of me never getting sleep and overworking. but i’ll say that he didn’t go in vein. i will do my best to slow down as to
not overwork myself to the point in which i can’t even enjoy life anymore. im am devastated over this but we all have memories. i just hope
that he will get due justice in all the press memorials and whatnot. i know he was mired in controversy the last decade of his life
but i think its time we let him rest in peace and learn to separate the ART and the ARTIST. –that is the MJ i will forever remember.
