Presently passing outside my bedroom window, you would think that I was commemmorating the King of Pop by blasting his classic hits. But if you were my neighbor, you would already know that this is what I do every other night.
A strong staple of my music playlists, Michael Jackson, or "MJ" as his worldwide fans would call him, defined a pop generation, and to this day - is still the #1 selling artist in History with over 100 million copies of his "Thriller" album sold worldwide.

With that said, there is no need to explain that as I play my music list now, with such timeless classics like "Do You Remember the Time", "You Rock my World", and "Butterflies" on rotation, that there is a different note that hits the airwaves -a feeling of underlying respect and nostalgia that is now forever sealed in each and every record by the one & only King of Pop - R.I.P. MJ -

For the Love of the Game

It was never for the fortune
nor the fame
It was I, pursuing my inner flame
That inner spark
of my engine plug
Burning fire to reach something higher
new heights to scale
new visions to attain
new adventure - To discover
what it is the game entails
