Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon

Gosh, they come in 3s.  Ed McMahon died 2 days ago, but I only cared now when I just found out he was the host of Star Search, which I watched as a kid.

Farrah Fawcett finally gave in to her battle with anal cancer.

But the real story is Michael Jackson, the King of Pop.  Upon coming home from my FMA pre-test with Guro (and damn I really wanna take a hiatus after my real test as I'm fed up with his attitude problem), I discovered on the news that Michael Jackson died ... and so did a part of my childhood.

I was the first to Moonwalk back in Providence High School (PHS).  At the time, everyone was doing Usher's sideways Moonwalk.  But I was the first to do it backwards, true MJ style.  When PHS outlawed breakdancing and everyone resorted to popping & locking, I did it MJ style as he had just celebrated 40 years of his career.  And in my Theater 111 class during my first semester at CSUN, Fall '02, Eugene and I did an MJ style dance battle.

Words fail me at the moment.

It was my first time seeing Mark in months when I stopped by his place after midnight to pick up some records.  That's a code word, by the way.
