Ryker is FAT!

I need to exercise Ryker. He has gotten way too fat. It is either that or he has a tumor in his belly.

Plus he begs for food all the time.

Michael Jackson

I liked MJ up through Thriller. Once he started altering his appearance and his behavior got all weird, it became tragic to me. The guy was blessed with immense talent, but unfortunately (and this happens to many famous people) fame was too much to handle. He didn't have a normal childhood and never grew up. I really think to him that his behavior with children as an adult may have been completely normal to him since he was still a child in his mind. I guess you could say he suffered from arrested development. I don't blame him. I blame the people around him that enabled him to be that way and didn't help him grow up to be the man he could have been. He died too young. I really wish his life had turned out different. I really enjoyed the retrospective of his early years. He was so gifted and an amazing performer.
