There are events in your lifetime that you will always remember where you were when that happened. This afternoon was one of those events.
The first thing I think about when I hear the name Michael Jackson is a comedy show I went to in 2003. The comedy show was thrown by a morning show in the Bay Area and one member of the show was really spiritual -- at least for that period of time.
He wanted to on that night, make a blind girl see. This is no joke. And to help the girl see, he needed everyone in the crowd, close to 15,000 to 20,000 people give off their positive energy. He thought that if enough people put their minds together, and reflected, and gave out positive bright energy, we could cure the blind. Sounds strange I bet, but definitely worth a shot.
So it began. They played a video of Michael Jackson's "Heal the World," and then asked the entire audience to stand up, close our eyes, put our hands forward (palms out) and give off as much positive energy as we could, and make a blind girl see.
Did it happen? No. The blind girl on stage said she started seeing bits and pieces of blurriness. Was she lying? No clue, but probably.
However, the moment when the crowd was silent and I felt nothing but positive energy will be a moment I will never forget. In those short few minutes, the world seemed to stand still and everyone was loving, caring and at peace.
So every time I think about that moment, Michael Jackson will come to mind.
DID YOU KNOW? The Michael Jackson song, "Man in the Mirror," was used in this year's slideshow. Go back and take a look if you didn't notice.

That's ashame. He had some good music. More and more people are dying young.
May Michael Jackson rest in peace despite some of the negative things said about him.
