Like a comet
Blazing ‘cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Justin Timberlake: I can’t find the words right now to express how deeply sadden I am by Michael’s passing. We have lost a genius and a true ambassador of not only Pop music, but of all music. He has been an inspiration to multiple generations and I will always cherish the moments I shared with him on stage and all of the things I learned about music from him and the time we spent together. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.

Liza Minelli: He was a kind, genuine, and wonderful man. He was also one of the greatest entertainers that ever lived. I loved him very much and I will miss him every remaining day of my life.

John Mayer: A major strand of our cultural DNA has left us. RIP MJ. I think we’ll mourn his loss, as well as the loss of ourselves as children listening to Thriller on the record player.

Lisa Marie Presley, Jackson’s former wife and daughter of Elvis Presley: I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children who I know were everything to him and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me.

Brooke Shields: My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing.

Britney Spears: I was so excited to see his show in London. We were going to be on tour in Europe at the same time and I was going to fly in to see him. He has been an inspiration throughout my entire life and I’m devastated he’s gone!

Madonna: I can’t stop crying over the sad news. I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless.

Will.I.Am, Black Eyed Peas: I am so grateful to have worked with the King (and always will be King) of the music industry. He was a gift to the world, he is a bright light and I wouldn’t be surprised if the world stopped spinning tomorrow.

Goodbye, Michael.

I decided to sign up on Polyvore a few days ago and I’m having a blast with it. Here’s two outfits I’ve put together so far.

lyrics
26.6, the day I was born
I learned to speak in a whole entire different form
My parents didn’t budge the fact I couldn’t speak
Instead, embraced me with care, signs they started to teach
Back in my school times, life felt far from fair
Kids got curious, gave me the daily stare
They couldn’t understand, why am I using my hands?
Never asked for sympathy, on my two I stand
Never got fed-up, always kept my head up
Few times got knocked down but my pride made me get up
I couldn’t speak, but that didn’t make me weak
I only got stronger when they ridiculed week after week

It’s about time for you to open your eyes, open your mind
It’s there for you to find, no longer time to decline
The jokes are on you, so what’s it gonna be
This is our life unheard and as you’ve never seen

As I got older, made it to the university
Even though the rest doubted, no one believed in me
Slowly the attitudes changed, my life is re-arranged
People no longer looked at me as I was strange
Could you believe that not until ‘95
The rights of deaf man in law was not identified
But now sign language was our native tongue
So even my father could now show where he’s coming from
He used to tell me if he got caught using his hands
The teacher would take those hands and give them a good “wham”

Docs drilling holes in our head tryin’ to be heroes
But if you look into their eyes you can see the sign of euros
But really they don’t care
They just trying to make a profit, out of makin’ the deaf hear
(yeah) Implants and wires, let ‘em know we tired
How the hell that gon’ change us and make us admired?

It’s about time for you to open your eyes, open your mind
It’s there for you to find, no longer time to decline
The jokes are on you, so what’s it gonna be
This is our life unheard and as you’ve never seen

Damn right we can’t hear, But I don’t care
We ain’t disabled here, I use sign language yeah
We got our own language yeah, proud of that I am
We got our own culture yeah, I’m bi-cultured here
We got our own history yeah, I’m part of history
We got our own society, this is my community

It’s about time for you to open your eyes, open your mind
It’s there for you to find, no longer time to decline
The jokes are on you, so what’s it gonna be
This is our life unheard and as you’ve never seen

Laura (my sister) showed me this page and we decided to do this challenge together! Let’s hope I do succeed, haha. :uhm:

You guys should try it too!

(Summer solstice is today so the challenge starts TODAY!)

Edit: I added my list to the content page. Whenever I get a task done, it’ll be checked off. I’ll be posting about my progress on this challenge every Sunday as well.

(a day late, eeps.)
