A Birthday To Remember?

Well, weeks have passed and now it is the day that Michael Joseph Jackson would have turned 51 years young. It's the August the 29th and of course people are sad, are still mourning and are having the predictable MJJ day. I myself was sat here when I was introduced to a young man by the name of Marcus Joseph, an obvious life long fan who liked to impersonate his idol. The dancing anybody can try and replicate but like Freddie and Elvis, Michael Jackson had a voice that was a hard feat to replicate. Marcus Joseph in my eyes has managed it, it brought tears to my eyes and sent shivers everywhere hearing such classic ballads of Michael being sung by a young boy who's voice did not fit with his face. You heard him sing and could only picture Michael. It was amazing. I am not one that follows replicators nor impersonaters but I will be following this young fellow to see what becomes of him.
Anyway, I recently went to the UK with my little Lois and had a suprisingly good time, although from day one you knew it would be intresting. Day one we both nearly died on the tube, why oh why knowing that this enterprise is so busy and demanding have the powers that be in fucking suits can they not make it more safe!?!
It was rediculous, knowing that if anything really dangerous was to happen there was no officials around to take charge of things, you are completely fucking alone with hundreds of people not giving a shit about anything apart from squeezing on/into the hot tin tube!
Okay back to Michael, his death has been put as a homocide, well duh! Michael my have been a mentally fucked up drug addict that put himself in strange situations, but he also paid people money, a lot of fucking money to help care for him, ie: doctors, these/this doctor were paid an unbelievable amount of money to help protect and care for Mr Jackson.
Michael knew that the drugs he used were so strong that he needed supervisation when taking them, this is what he hired "people" for.
So when it is publicly announced that Michael died due to lethal amounts of propofol in his sytem, lots of narrow minded folk say "well its his own fault" and "that doctor should not be charged with anything as Michael knew what he was doing".
I partly agree, Michael did know what he was doing, Michael also knew what he was doing could possibly one day kill him which is why he paid this certain "doctor" a lot of money to take care of him. Drug addict or not, if this doctor at one point stuck to his vows as a doctor he would have said, "Michael, I dont care how much you pay me, I will not admit anymore to you" But the money was obviously more important to this man, and becasue of that it is manslaughter in my eyes, this tradgic death could have been avoided. Easily.
We also have the whole conspiracy / is he alive/ was it suicide or murder thing out. Its like a train wreck I cant look away from, I hate to read such nasty rumours but I suppose as a fan you have to take the bad with the good, and can also look away if you really dont want to see it. Michael Jackson is dead, I have no doubt in this, despite "real" footage of him being scene after his death.
I truly believe and hope the man is dead now, it absolutely broke my fucking heart at the news of this legend's demise, but I dealt with it like all the other fans out there, and finally accepted it. Hated it but accepted it. To even think for one minute that Michael would put his fans through that goes against everything the man ever stood for. To put also his family through that is just not that man! If Michael Jackson himself was to knock on my door and say "hey I am alive" I would gracefully admit I was wrong and ask for an explanation. This is the only thing that would ever make me think he may not be dead. He is though and I think we all know it. In the words of Hetfield, its sad but true.
Started to watch Entourage,,,, Jesus Christ, it's been on. what? Four years and I have only just finally decided to watch it, and managed 4 seasons in three days, it's awesome, although I think I am NOT an Entourage fan, I am an Ari fan. That man both Ari and Jermey is awesome. The writers and casting of that show are complete genius's. I am going to start watching season five later on, it's brilliant, and it is not Sex And The City with men, not one bit! So I thank HK for not pushing me into it but cleverly mentioning it once and a while, if anything that grabbed my intrest more, I was like why on earth is this man obsessing over this show and not pushing me to watch it with him,,,, clever move HK!!!
Fuck me, Michael Jackson is awesome, excellent and all other words that mean he is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No HK I will not cut down on the exlamation marks, I like them!
Hell's Kitchen is back. And bigger and better than ever. Only a few episodes have passed and its grabbed my attention quick.. will comment on it more when more episodes have aired. Along with The X Factor in the UK., that started last week and a few minor changes but yet to soon to leave a judgment, I will say one thing though, there are so many people out there who really truly believe they have "it"! I don't know what "it" is, but I know they dont got it!
It's Michael Jackson's birthday today... I do keep tearing up. I can't help it. Accepting his death does not mean I am not to be upset at the fact that he is gone. They say he will live forever and all that and in many ways it's true, he will, his music will. His soul will, He left a stamp on this world, He left his mark. People that never were alive when he was will still know who he was in the future. He will still have new fans in ten, twenty years, he will still be selling albums and getting number one spots when the majority of us are all gone. I agree.
Like Elvis, Michael Jackson did not die, he just went home!! Hee Hee!!
Happy Birthday Michael. Love you.
