It’s been a while. I know. Shut up.

Today I learned that the King of Pop has died.

Michael Jackson passed away earlier today at the age of 50. Although results from the coroner are not yet completed, it seems that he died from a heart attack. CBS aired an hour-long special that I watched where they recapped his life, both the good (usually had to do with music) and the bad (his personal life).

I wouldn’t say I’m a Michael fanatic. I’m too young to remember his glory days, all I got was the sick times of court cases and a creepy pseudo-caucasian Michael (I wondered for the entire special if CBS would mention his curious ethnicity transformation… guess what, they didn’t).

Still, I’m sad. That man could sure dance.

Although at the same time, he was millions of dollars in debt. Coincidence? Let the conspiracy theories begin. Boyfriend thinks he faked his death. I think it’s suicide. Thoughts?

ps: Australian sex god actor Alex O’Loughlin is returning to television this fall! In an original concept never produced before, he’ll be starring in a medical hospital-set drama about relationships and life called “Three Rivers”. Maybe I’ll call him McDrea– oh, wait.

Today I learned how to do Michael Jackson’s Thriller dance.

I don’t really know where the inspiration struck. It must have been some time between coming from from dinner with A and P and our traditional goofing off — someone was singing Thriller, or someone struck the pose… and suddenly I realized that I would be really, really cool and have tons of friends if only I could learn how to do the Thriller dance.

So I found myself a wicked awesome website with step-by-step instructions and learned it. Just in time to rock all the sweet Halloween parties I’ve been invited to for Halloween. I highly recommend checking it out, since any instructions or direction I give will probably be confusing. The website, which is Thrill the World.com, also features video of each step. Extremely helpful.

Expect a video of your’s truly performing soon.
