Michael Jackson

Hey.

 I just want to put this out here.

I. Love. Michael. Jackson.

No, not like I want to marry him or anything. That would be really weird. And creepy. I don't want to think about that now... He's kind of attractive, but I don't like him in that way. Let me rephrase that.

I. Love. Michael. Jackson's. Amazing. Music.

Now that the awkwardness is cleared up, let me elaborate.

I'm sure some of you people like MJ. Maybe even as much as I do, who knows! Other than you... And I'm sure some of you don't. But that doesn't matter, because I'm talking about me. I hope that doesn't seem conceited or anything. So.. back to music.

I wasn't always a fan. It happened pretty recently, a few months ago. I remember in 2009 when he died. A bunch of kids in my RE group were talking about it. I recall saying that I didn't know if I liked him or not, as I haven't heard many of his songs.

Even now, I haven't heard all of his songs. But I have quite a few albums. Bad 25, Thriller, This Is It, The Essential Michael Jackson, The Definitive Collection... And I'm still working on getting more.

Some of his songs are inspirational and have deep meaning, such as 'Man In The Mirror,' 'Black or White' and 'Price of Fame.'

Other songs are beautiful love songs. They either want to make me cry, or make me feel super happy. Some of those are 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You,' 'Billie Jean,' 'P.Y.T.' and 'The Girl Is Mine.'

There are also some songs that are a mix of romance and partying songs. 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' 'Street Walker' and 'Just Good Friends.'

The party/workout songs are probably my favorite, though. 'Bad' and all of the remixes, 'Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough,' 'Speed Demon,' 'Thriller,' 'Smooth Criminal,' 'Al Capone' and 'Another Part of Me.'

There are tons of other songs by him that I haven't listed. I have all of those songs and more. But MJ has tons of songs that I haven't heard yet.

I hope I'm not creeping you guys out with my obsession.

Anyway, I hope you guys go and listen to Michael Jackson sometime, he's really amazing. If you can't figure out anything good to listen to, just send me an email or leave a comment. I'd love to help you out!

Results

The meet today was AWESOME!! I didn't do the 50 freestyle because for some reason my coach put me in 50 butterfly. But it was really good! I got a medal in every event (placing first, second or third) so I'm really happy. I also took off a ton of time in my events. Here are my times (for those of you who are swimmers ;-D)
  • 200 Medley Relay- I did free and my time was: 31.66 seconds. I think I could have done better on this, but my start was bad. =/ We were the only group of girls, so my team got first!
  • 200 IM- My seed time was 2:55.95 and I dropped about 2 seconds, which is a lot of time. I got third place, my time 2:53.10
  • 50 Butterfly- My seed time was 38.95 and I dropped about 1 second, my time 27.83. I got second place. =)
  • 50 Breaststroke- My seed time was 42.80 and my finish time was 42.08. So I dropped .78 seconds. =) I got FIRST!!!!!!!
Haha I'm crazy. =P
