Rest In Paradise, Michael Jackson.

Hm, there was less blogging about MJ than I thought there would be... so I'm just gonna paste my Xanga entry onto here...

Yesterday, I couldn't believe what just happened. It felt like it was all a joke, like he would jump up and start dancing and say he was just kidding. But he never did.

Out of all celebrities' deaths that I have known, it never hit until the King of Pop passed away. It was so unexpected, so quick. He really was the only living man I could think of, that the whole world knew. He was so amazing, and he contributed so much to our culture. He was entertaining... a talented singer, dancer, performer. I am so glad that he lived through part of my lifetime.

He really inspired me in music, even in dancing, acting even. Haha, when I was trying out for The Wiz musical at school, I wanted to be the Scarecrow because of him. I learned from his amazing singing. I tried imitating his body movements. He was so goood. I made Man in the Mirror one of my inspiration songs, to become a better person, to go out there and try to make the world a better place. I thought he was one of the coolest people ever.

Of course, I was affected by his flaws, and I asked whyy ?! But wow, does God teach us a lesson. God made this talented person who has been able to touch so many lives, or at least be part of so many lives... and what does the world see? They only see the outside, the rumors, the flaws... But here is a man who sings powerful, thoughtful songs. A man who has so much influence, one who could reach out to so many people. With his death, it's amazing to see how many, if not everybody, people see past his imperfection, and recognize the significance he has made in their lives. To see how everybody was affected by this man's death...it's just so sad.

I was quite sad to hear the tragic news, I kept thinking maybe it was just a fake death and he was just on some island of his own or something, so that he could finally get away from the bad things in life. But I'm actually pretty happy. He truly was a significant man in this world, and I'm glad he's somewhere up there, where he'll sing and dance with angels, in peace. Someday we'll see him live, haha. MJ, thank you for your music.

Michael Jackson's a freaking legend. :) The world says bye, we'll missya.

Last Day of Sophomore Year!

hi, my name is michelleabiera, and today was my last day as a sophomore.

 last week, i had to say bye to some seniors, such as liana banana and rachelly belly.

tuesday was the last class with 6th period French 2, such a tight-knit, chill class, which I will miss. 

today my last period was P.E., in which all the P.E. classes stayed in the gym.

many people took pictures during this last period of their last day of the school year.

many signed yearbooks.

i encountered cuties.

people were laughing.

i see other blogspot kids and decide to include them in my blog.

school ends and the students are giddy. i see friends at the front of the school.

sophomore year is done!

the end.

P.S. I do not know how to use my camera yet! :( But I'll get to it. When I get my hands on it. When my brother comes back from 4 years of college. Next week.
