Please don't ask me why, but I'm very down in the dumps today. I really have MJ on the brain. 
Still kicking myself for not getting a chance to see him in concert.
I would love to visit MN once, the place that he loved and to see a venue or so that he played at. 
Just to say I was there. 
I hear it is a beautiful state, I have never been. 
Maybe one day. 
Hoping everyone has a great day. Play some MJ.

Yesterday,  MJ would have had his annual Christmas Concert.
I played a few of his concerts, I have to say that it made me cry. And I played them again today and I smiled.
He had so much more to give his fans.
