It was the modern age. Instead of the 1980s, Thriller-era Michael Jackson you know–his solo story begins in the 2000s. Flip-phones. Sparkly jeans, chunky highlights, everything. You were best friends and used-to-be neighbors with Michael. But now you guys are adults–with Michael starting his solo career after breaking from The Jacksons band and launching his album, to you starting your new job and finally buying tour own townhouse apartment in the city. Through the rush of adult life, all you have that keeps you tethered to michael was your Blackberry curve and texts that made sure each of you still remembered one another. Friends. The best of friends. That's it...right?
Witty and sly of course. He used to be shy as a kid and teenger, but now the fame has built his confidence a bit more.
It was 2008.
You walked down the street of Sacramento, California. You came from a long day at work, wanting nothing more to slip on your Aeropastale set and lay on the couch
When all of a sudden, your Blackberry buzzed.
It was a text from that once lanky boy you knew from Encino, Michael. Except he was in Los Angeles, surrounded by a bunch of models and his producer, Quincy. At a party for the release of his new album, Thriller.
But of course...he was texting you amidst it all.
the text read. you could hear his Indiana accent in your head.
