The Funk of 40,000 Years

There are albums that have stood apart from their inception, including Jay-Z's The Black Album and Mariah Carey's Music Box, just to name 2 critically and popularly acclaimed records. None, however, compares to MJ's Thriller, a 9-song LP that sold 100,000,000 copies. Watching This Is It was good simply because of the music - completely original and inspired by things that are real. There's a line from the eponymous song that goes "I never heard a single word about you/Falling in love wasn't my plan"; it just holds too much truth. And from me, that's saying something.

Toggling from messenger with 27 contacts online in the sunlit hours of a lazy Friday to receiving one more invite to another fright-themed party at some club tomorrow under its moonlight, I'm left hanging because I anticipated so much from these 3 days, and apparently they could be so simply and indifferently brushed aside, without adequate reply at that.
