I have to admit that I didn't watch it because that's all kinds of sadness; it was on every single channel on my television though (and I only knew that because someone kept complaining about there being nothing to watch - that's life's greatest problem right there *sarcasm*).
Funerals/memorials = un-good times for me. I mean, like I don't even have to know the person because when you're dead, it's usually all the same: the atmosphere, the way people act, the crying, the fact that even though you're trying to be 'happy they're in a better place' it doesn't really provide much consolation. And then my mind goes down the road of the funerals I've been to, and the un-good times perpetuates. So, unless I'm close to you or something (at which point, my dislike for funerals and the like become moot and I'll go because that's what should be done), I won't willingly put myself through that. I hate funerals with as much fervor as I hate being in hospitals (which I guess is a bad comparison unless you know how much I dislike being in hospitals, but you get the idea regardless). Generally, it's just sad to see other people sad. Damn empathy like that. D:
Yeah, so I only watched the ... I guess you could say 'highlights' online this morning. Still made me sad, and I honestly can say that while I listened to his music, I wasn't a hardcore fan. I like his music but I was never truly invested in him like other fans were; but damn, he did change the world. It's amazing.
I was also glad when he got mentioned in the
fandomsecrets community because you know his fans ought to be represented to. Here:
RIP Michael Jackson, indeed.
