Michael Jackson Memorial

Today was the final farewell to the King Of Pop. I had to work today and missed the live memorial so I caught it later on I just finished watching it and I must say the inspiration is there. Michael died at 50 which means he came up in the world in a time where there weren't many black people out doing what he was doing. Breaking records, being on national tv, having a cartoon. Not to mention the scandals he went through as an adult. He has risen above it all. What ever your personal views are on this man you cant deny the power and affect he had on the world. I agree with Berry Gordy ... he is the greatest entertainer! He can sing, dance, he commands your attention. I've always been a MJ fan but in his death I understand him as a man more. I've always had an appreciation for the artist Michael, but after seeing the lives he has touched between people who are torn up about it coming in to make a deposit at work and his friends who had the chance to speak about him at the memorial, I see how great of a person he is. Not was but is. We all have a purpose in life and I believe you should use yourself to the best of your God given ability to make an impact on the world as Michael did. Im just brought to tears as I write this and listen to a few of his songs. The man was great and I vow from this day to use each and every one of my talents to impact someone in the world even if the only person I make an impact on is myself!
