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.

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.
