RIP: [mj | king of pop]

its still feels surreal that Michael Jackson the "King of Pop" has passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, June 25th 2009 at the age of 50.

I don't know about you guys but i grew up listening to all of MJ's music and i even remember trying to "moonwalk" in my parents kitchen and failing miserably at it, when i was younger. ha! (don't lie i know you did too lol)

But with the passing of the KOP the #1 question asked is "what's your #1 favorite Michael Jackson song?" and to be compeletly honest with you guys.. i can't! there's too many good ones... great ones to choose just one. (i.e. thriller, human nature, billie jean, rock with you, the way you make me feel, heal the world, etc...)

i know i'll get shit for saying this but as the years flew by i kind of forgot all the great amazing songs he created over the years. OK! i didnt forget persay, more like out of site out of mind and it saddens me that his passing and every radio/tv station playing his songs had to refresh my memory of his talent/greatness. i will definietly be adding MJ/Jackson 5's classics back onto my ipod's playlist.

in the end Michael Jackson has left this world a true legend and icon. he'll always live on in his music.
REST IN PEACE MJ!!!

PERSONAL: [career | jobless]

FREE AT LAST!

with some recent events that had gone down with me and the company i worked for (yes! that's right past tense) it was only a matter of time in this economy/recession that i would most likely get laid off when the time came. so when i (along with 3 other people) was called into the conference room on friday, i pretty much knew i was probably getting let go.

people ask me if i knew it was coming? no, but i kinda had a feeling especially when we didn't really have any work coming in. but i still felt it was a little unexpected, if that makes any sense ha. especially since i thought i've been work my butt off and have been kicking ass on the jobs we have been working on recently, clients picking my work etc. but oh well their loss right?!

but to be completely honest it's very much bitter sweet. after recent events i've been some what looking to get out, so this really gave me a bigger push. the saddest part about me getting let go is my coworkers... i'm going to miss them. hopefully we'll still keep in touch.

i also truly appreciate the apologies for me getting laid off... but seriously DON'T BE! i'm sure as hell not. ha! i always look at it as "everything happens for a reason" and "when one door closes another one opens" and i truly believe that. now i have time to focus and get back intouch with me and what i really wanna do. life's too short!

but as happy as i am about getting laid off and to start the "vacation", i do however feel exteremly bad to have to put all the financial reponsablities onto daren now. so hopefully i'll be able to find a new job in no time... after a vacation of course! hahaha

i still dont think it's truly kicked in yet that i dont have work anymore. i still feel that "MAN! i dont wanna go to work tomorrow!" whine lol.

well wish me luck on my new jouney.
