The Man in the Mirror

I heard on the radio this morning, someone say that Michael Jackson looked a lot like a canadian white woman. That's hilarious... just like most celebrity deaths.

It cracks me up when people have an emotional response to a celebrity death. To those people: You didn't know him, you never met him, he didn't give a shit about you. So he's dead! Shut the fuck up. People die all the time and you're not broken up about them.

People say "but he was a pop legend" or some shit like that. Right! He was a pop legend and had about a dozen hit songs and his legacy will carry that. He will always have that which is a lot more than what most of us ordinary people will ever have. Face it, we'll probably not have a legacy... unless, of course, you want to count: having kids, sitting in front of a computer, drinking more than you should, shitting four times a day, and not doing a bunch of things that you say you always wanted to do. That's my legacy.

I say it's too bad he didn't die 15 years ago before he started touching little boys. Let's not forget that he was a very fucked up individual. The music lives on; the person is dead. Perfect!
