Today, my brother and I were going to give our parents their anniversary gift which cost us over $3000. The gift was a trip to London in August to see a show on Michael Jackson's comeback tour. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got a call from my parents that they have decided to get a divorce. My brothers and I just shelled out $5,000 each and spent months planning their 50th Anniversary party that was supposed to be next month. FML
Today, I was going to surprise my boyfriend at his family birthday celebration with a $2,000 trip he's always wanted, Ireland. Right before my gift, he had opened his mother's gift, an envelope containing a plane ticket. Guess where it was going? FML
Today, I took my mom out to a fancy restaurant, and spent close to $300 on her Mother's Day present. Later, my little brother drew her a card with crayons on pink construction paper. She cried. He's 20 years-old. FML
Today, after planning 4 months in advance and spending almost $600 to cover everyone's tickets to the event center, all of my siblings decided to bail on my 30th birthday celebration because driving 3 hours is too much. FML
Today, my mom told me I was a bad daughter because I didn't get anything for my parents' anniversary. I just sent my brother a check for $400 for my share of their gift. FML
Today, my brother and I spent almost $600 to plan and throw a divorce party for our mother. She proceeded to announce that she and our dad are staying together and that we completely jumped the gun. We deserve it, but… FML
Today, I told my parents that all I wanted for my 18th birthday was to go to a restaurant in NYC for a nice dinner. My parents said no, because it would cost too much money. I came home to see my parents had bought a huge TV for $800. We already have 3 televisions. FML
Today, my parents spent more time, money, and effort on my boyfriend's birthday present than they ever have on any of mine. FML
Today, my dad told me he's taking the whole family to Disney World, even my step-brother's girlfriend. But not me, because he can't "afford" it. FML
Today, my son surprised me on my birthday with tickets to a concert I really wanted to see. I was excited, especially since I planned to buy them but couldn't due to the fact it was too expensive. I was ecstatic, until I found out he'd stolen my credit card to buy them. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I concur with the many people who say to show respect to Michael. He was a very influential person and I'm sure now more than ever he will continue to be an influential person. Musical artists have said they look up to him. He was an inspiration as a performer to many different people in the music scene. He's opened doors for the music scene and the music video world. He's the one who created the cameo! Have you seen his videos?! Michael Jordan, Eddy Murphy, Paul McCartney as well as other people have appeared in his videos! Michael's was an AMAZING dancer and his dance moves have been imitated by artists like Chris Brown and Justin Timberlake. Ask any person in the music industry and you'll see how much of an impact he's been. Sure he's crazy, but he was abused, mentally and physically, by his father ever since the Jackson 5. It's obviously had a toll on his psychological development. He doesn't need to be praised, but you certainly do not need to speaking of him in such a cruel way. Sure you can focus on the negatives about him, but you cannot deny the fact that he made amazing songs and amazing albums. You cannot deny the fact that many people commend him for his work in the music business. He has produced numerous number one hits and I don't even NEED to name the songs! He is and will forever be known as the King of Pop and that is no exaggeration.

Okay this isn't that bad. You will get a full refund for you concert tickets. And I'm sure you parents will be thrilled to be able to go to london alone. They can do whatever they want. Its still a kick ass gift. And to everyone dissing michael jackson, Yeah i didn't like him that much either, But do you realize how successful he was? Most of you won't be 1% as successful as he was. So Suck It!

Micheal Jaclson didn't molest those children. He was the King Of Pop so give him some god-damn respect. He had a very troubled childhood between the Jackson 5 and his abusive dad, so he never had a real childhood. That's why he built the theme park in Netherland Ranch. He's innocent and talented. He was a good man, always donating money. Leave him alone and for those of you assholes making MJ jokes now, shame on you. ---R.I.P Micheal Jackson

He was VERY VERY talented. He was also, in my opinion, kind of insane. He WAS addicted to prescription painkillers, and even if he DID have Vitiligo, I don't think that makes your nose get narrower, so he DID have lots of surgery, and he DID dangle his kid off a railing, and he DID wear lipstick. BUT he was ALSO a very very talented and unique individual who pretty much invented pop, popularized the moonwalk, was an amazing choreographer, dancer, singer, and overall performer. Until he had his first surgery he had a lot going for him. I think the stress got onto him. I DO believe that Neverland was intended to be innocent, but there IS proof that some children shared Jackson's bed, which is a little.... unusual. But again, I will mention his talent. So... he was crazy. Awesome, yes. The King Of Pop, yes. Crazy, also yes.
