Other Half woke me yesterday with, “patay na si michael jackson”

the weird thing was i didn’t, for a second, think it was a joke. i just wondered how it happened. as if i knew he would go early, die young or self-destruct sooner.

and he probably knew it too. as lisa marie presley wrote in her blog, MJ knew his fate.

“Jackson talked with her about his death during ‘a deep conversation’ 14 years ago about ‘the circumstances of my father’s death.’

‘At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, ‘I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did,’ Presley wrote…”

it’s just so sad.

i grew up with MJ’s songs. i was creeped out with the thriller video but at the same time i was transfixed by the the dancing and the singing. my friends and i watched out for MJ’s videos because he often cast models (off the wall, etc) and MJ always made his video into a spectacle.

it’s just…well he had just a sad life at the end.
