The Elephant Man.....

          " I am not an Animal !!, I am a Human Being" This is a quote from a movie that Michael really liked called " The Elephant Man ". Michael said he related to that movie a lot and that he could see himself a lot in that movie. I feel like that quote is probably what Michael felt like saying sometimes to the Media and to the public. There was a lot of people, especially the Media, who seemed to treat him like he was a caged animal and an outcast. They crowd around him and take pictures and everybody always wants to look at him. Michael said he felt like he was an animal in a cage sometimes. The media always has to make up vicious rumors, at one point they said that he wanted to buy the Elephant man's bones, which we all know is not true. I think the problem with the world is that we forgot that Michael was a human being just like us. Before he was famous, he was doing exactly the same things that we do in our everyday life. The problem is that once he was famous, he was forced into being different.

           I definitely feel like Michael was treated like he wasn't human a lot. Just like the Elephant man, even though the Elephant man was human, but just disfigured, they treated him like he was nothing and like he was a freak. Some people forget that inside every person there is a Soul and that you can't just treat people any kind of way that you want. You have to realize that your words can have a huge effect on someone, weather it is a good or bad comment. I think Michael had to suffer a great deal from the negative comments that was said about him. I don't think he deserved that at all, people always seem to attack what they don't understand instead of just realizing that it is beautiful and unique. At the end of the day everybody deserves to be treated with love and respect. For all of the Non-MJ fans you should realize that Michael was a person just like you and me and try to show him the common respect that you would for other people. For the Fans thank you all for treating Michael like the beautiful person that he is.

If The World Was Blind......

  A few days ago I was watching Stevie Wonder's performance at Michael's Funeral, and he was speaking about how much he loved Michael and how great he is, and it got me thinking" What if the world was blind" ??  As most of us know, Stevie Wonder is blind, yet he was still able to see the beauty and love in Michael. Him being blind forced him to have to get to know the person Inside and allowed him to not judge Michael on the outside like most everybody else seems to do. Here's my thoughts on how I think it would be like if the world was blind :

    If the World was blind we couldn't see Michael's beautiful Smile
    If the World was blind we couldn't see Michael's inspirational dance Moves
    If the World was blind we coulnd't see Michael's hypnotizing facial expressions
    If the World was blind we couldn't read Michael's beautiful Poems
    If the World was blind We couldn't see Michael's amazing Music Videos but.......
            If the world was blind there would be no outer Judgement
            If the World was blind we couldn't read any tabloids
           If the World was blind we would appreciate life more for what it is
           If the world was blind everyone would be in less of a hurry
           If the world was blind there would be more compassion
          If the world was blind people probably wouldnt believe so may of the lies they hear because as they say" seeing is believing"
If the world was blind Racism wouldn't exist
If the World was blind there would be more trust
If the World was blind there would be less Fakeness
If the world was blind people would have no choice but to get to know the person inside
If the world was blind there woud be more Love......
 
    But when I think about it more and more, the World is already blind , but their blindness is on the Inside, not the outside......

For all of the Non-MJ fans, just try to open your eyes to the beautiful person Michael really is and realize that you have the wonderful opportunity to be able to see his talent, Smile, dance moves but most importantly you get to see his beautiful heart. For all of the MJ fans thank you for seeing Michael for who he really is !!

Michael's Beautiful Magic

  
                   Michael Jackson was a person, he wasn’t a typical man, he didn’t try to conform to society’s expectations. Michael just had an appreciation for life in general it seems. He is one of the few who would see a beautiful sunset and then thank god for creating it, He appreciated nature and would thank god for the beautiful trees, or a butterflies wings, or the ocean. Michael is definitely unique, he could go to an art exhibit and see a painting and just become totally moved by it, and start to cry. He doesn’t let his “manly” pride get in the way of how he feels about something and I think that is just beautiful. Michael once said that he didn’t like that there are all of these restrictions on what a man can do and what a woman can do. I totally agree, I think everyone should do what makes them happy, and explore all elements of life that interests them. Michael is such a magical person; he makes me feel like I can do anything, I can feel his energy when I watch him on the screen or listen to his music. It always puzzles me when I think of what the media and other people did to Michael. It’s like they wanted to suck all of that energy and magic out of him because they were jealous and ignorant.

              It seems like everyone had on a mask, they never show there true personalities because they feel they have to live up to the worlds standards, and they worry all the time about being judged, but Michael was the opposite, he always stayed true to himself and his beliefs and didn’t let the world change him. I just don’t understand why the world couldn’t just welcome his beauty and kindness instead of spending there time twisting his words and making up so many rumors and making him out to be a monster. I don’t think I will ever understand, but what I do understand is that this world can be very cruel and judgmental. I just wish that Michael could have experienced more of the love he deserved. I was thinking about MJ the other day and I was thinking about those plastic roses and flowers and how much I like them because they never die or wilter, they always stay the same in perfect form. Their beauty lasts forever. I think that is the best way to describe Michael. He is a flower that will never die, never wilter; he will live in perfect beauty forever. For all of the Non-MJ fans, I hope that one day you can see the beauty that is inside Michael and see him for the person he really is. For the fans, thank you for always showing Michael your Love.

Afraid To Love Michael.....

                    
                        It makes me really sad when I hear stories of people that say they get made fun of for liking Michael’s music. My question is why wouldn’t they like him? This generation has grown up hearing so much tabloid garbage about MJ that they start to believe them and then they start to speak badly of Michael. There is a author named Aphrodite Jones who said that she had to self publish her book about Michael because “there were no publishing companies that would publish a Pro-Jackson book”. That statement right there tells me that obviously a large portion of things about MJ that are printed in books and in the tabloids and on T.V are not true, yet we have grown up hearing it so much that most people believe it. It doesn’t help either that a lot of people who write these terrible books are people that Michael trusted enough to let them come into his life and work around him. I was shocked to read some of the books that were released after and before his death. The things people will do for money is disgusting!! I guess that is why MJ included the song “Money” on his History album. It just seems like those authors used the fact that they actually were some of the lucky few to meet him; as credibility that we should just believe everything that they say about MJ. I can’t believe the authors would want his fans to believe some of the things that were written in those books! They are so far from the truth and it just makes me sad when I think of how selfish and money hungry they are. I hate that people can’t proudly stand up and say that they like Michael’s music, the way that they can say they like other celebrities music. If it weren’t for Michael all of them would probably not be famous anyway. He started everything, and music will never be as amazing as it was now that he’s gone. All we have now is what he left behind for us to listen to, which is, and always will be the best music ever invented in my opinion.

         I just want to let all of you MJ fans know that you have nothing to be ashamed of because MJ was an amazing, talented and misunderstood person. I know as well as anyone that it is hard to change somebody else’s negative opinion of somebody, but you would be surprised to see what effect a few positive words can have on somebody, so just try to spread the positive information about Michael, that are all the truth and let them know that all the news in the tabloids were mostly lies and they have no reason not to like Michael based on the lies they have been hearing, because it is just not true. I feel like its very important that all of your friends, who are against Michael know the truth about him because it hurts me so bad when I think of how hard he worked and all the pain he had to go through to get to become the King of Pop, and then have his career affected in such a terrible way, just because of tabloid rumors and the 2 families that decided to make up false accusations to get money from him. I just want so badly for people to not only know, but BELIEVE the truth and I hope that one day MJ can receive even more admiration from people instead of what seems like humiliation, when they talk about their love of his music to other people!! For all of you non-MJ fans, just take some time to really ask yourself the reasons why you believed the lies anyway, was it because of the tabloids? Or because you did accurate research on him and then just decided that you don’t like him?? Just please make that kind of decision based on your accurate knowledge and not because of judgments about MJ that you hear from someone else. For all of the fans, do you ever feel embarrassed to express your love of MJ to people?? I would like to hear some of your stories, of how that came to be.

Michael Growing Up Small.....

                The media always likes to criticize Michael’s child-like personality. I really think it comes from his mental and physical abuse from his father and the fact that he didn’t get to have a childhood growing up. Having an abusive parent can have a big effect on someone in either a positive or negative way. For Michael it was a positive way. He took all of his pain and channeled it into trying to help as many children and people as he could. He wanted to help them not feel that pain that he has experienced growing up and help them escape and experience happiness and Joy, if only for a day. Michael has said that he wouldn’t change his past, if it meant that he wouldn’t love children as much as he does now. To me that is so selfless and beautiful, he is really one of a kind. I think he connects so much with a child’s innocence, because there is no hatred, cruelty, scheming, or double standard behind it. It is just pure and loving, which was something Michael hasn’t experienced from many Adults that were in his life. They always wanted something from him, or tried to use him to get where they wanted to be. It seems to me like Michael never received an equal amount of love back that he has given out, which I’m sure was very hurtful for him to have to experience so much hate and judgments from the media and people that didn’t understand him.

                I think people think Michael’s innocence is so strange, because there is no one else they can probably think of that has that level of innocence and love inside them, so they just attack him instead of trying to see where it comes from and how special it is. There is no one else in this world that has gone through the exact amount of Physical and Mental abuse that he has in his life, everyone’s experiences are different, and everyone’s results from those experiences are different, for him it all resulted in Innocence, love and helping others. I think Michael is the only one that can truly understand himself, but I definitely can see it in his eyes, that he has been through a lot of pain and sadness. I know he meant well and didn’t ever want to harm anyone. Michael is a person who has been through agony and can still Smile at the end of the day. He still genuinely loved people even though they spent so much time trying to attack his personality and bring him down. Michael had feelings like everybody else; he should be noticed for his positive, innocent outlook on life and not questioned all the time. Michael brought all the magic and wonderment and joy to the world that no one else could have done. He was the chosen human Peter Pan for the world. For all of the Non-MJ fans, just try to understand Michael before you judge him, and realize where it is coming from, and why. His childlike innocence comes from a sad past life for him, and not having a childhood; which he was strong enough to overcome. For the fans, thank you for understanding Michaels loving personality.

Michael On The Inside Looking Out

           
           Michael Jackson was never able to live a normal everyday life like the rest of us. There was always something he had to do since he was little, weather it was rehearsing, photo shoots, traveling, or shows, So for people to sit around and judge him and act like he is wrong for having a different way of thinking and different views on life , is just not right. The more I think about it, it’s not him that’s wrong, it’s the people that are wrong for not allowing him to live the normal life that he wanted to live. Every time he would try to go to the grocery store, walk down the street, or go to the movies he would get swamped with paparazzi and fans and couldn’t do those things. So I think everyone should look at it from that perspective. It’s not that Michael didn’t live a normal life, It’s that the world didn’t give him a chance to. Then they would go and judge him for it, as if he had another choice. I couldn’t imagine always being stuck inside of a hotel room or in my home under constant security and very little personal space. It seemed to me like Michael always had to be on the inside looking out at the world, and was never able to really experience it for what it was. Whenever he would meet a stranger he could never really get to know them because they would change when they realized it was Michael Jackson, they would just give him complements about his music and dancing and Michael could never get to know their real personalities.

           Im sure that must have made Michael feel very lonely inside, I think that he just wanted to have at least one true friend that didn’t see him as Michael the Entertainer, but as Michael the person. With Michael’s fame he was able to experience a lot of things that other everyday people do not, such as traveling to different countries and meeting a lot of different types of people but in return he couldn’t walk on the beach, or relax on a bench at the park. I think Michael wanted to fit in and be like everybody else, and since he couldn’t he had to create a life behind his gates at Neverland. Although Neverland helped a little at easing the pain of not being able to go out, I could still sense that it wasn’t enough , and that it would never be enough until he could really be able to experience the real thing. I think he had so much sadness because he knew all along that he would really never be able to. For all of the Non-MJ fans, just try to take a moment and put yourself in his shoes, especially if you’re a really outgoing and social person, could you imagine having to be stuck inside your home 24/7 and not being able to walk down the street?? If you think of it in that way, you can be able to sense why MJ was so sad and also why he created Neverland as an escape. For the fans Im sure MJ loved and appreciated your enthusiasm when you would see him public !! Lol

Does it Matter if Your Black or White??

       Hey everyone, I wanted to talk about a subject on MJ that the media has made a lot of controversy and rumors about, even though the proof was clear as day in photos and coming from MJ's words himself. We all know that Michael has Vitiligo, which is a skin whitening condition.I think it's really sad to see that even after MJ's passing, there are still those lies and negative comments about him having Vitiligo, even though it was proven in an autopsy that he did have the disease. I just can't believe how the media could be so insensitive to MJ's skin condition. Ever so often you hear about other celebrities such as Farrah Fawcett, Michael J. Fox and Patrick Swayze. Throughout their times of sickness, all they received was respect, love and people showing their support in hopes of them getting through that terrible time. For MJ it was the total opposite!! I don’t think I have ever witnessed such cruel statements and publicity towards a celebrity that had such a serious disease. Michael is such a sweet, caring and talented person and I don’t understand how the media and other people could treat him the way they did, because just like Farrah, Michael J.Fox and Patrick didn't choose to be diagnosed with there diseases, Michael Jackson didn't choose it either. I don't see how the media could speculate on weather MJ has Vitiligo or not, when the proof is in the photos. As they say “Seeing is believing” and you can clearly see that MJ has spots and discoloration on his arms and neck in photos dating back to the Thriller days. Michael himself even said in an Oprah Winfrey interview, that he had the disease. Yet instead of the media and other people feeling sorry for him like they did with Farrah, Michael J. Fox and Patrick, they treated MJ like he was a freak and like it was his own fault that he turned white. First of all I just want to ask” what is wrong with looking white anyway’?? Why does it matter if his skin turned blue, red, yellow,or pink??

               It shouldn’t matter, he is still the same beautiful person inside and outside in my opinion. He’s still Michael Jackson no matter what color he is. I really think that Michael didn’t come out with the details of him having this disease earlier, because he wanted to keep whatever he could private, since everything else about him is out there for the world to see. I can’t imagine the pain he must have been going through, when he realized he had Vitiligo, Im sure one of his big concerns were what the media would say or do. I think that’s why he tried so hard to cover it up with his dark make-up until it was too hard to control. I hate that he had to go through it but I think it made him stronger, and that it was in God’s plan for him. I think he looked perfect in all of his eras like the Bad, Thriller, Dangerous, and Invincible and I couldn’t imagine him looking any different during those time periods. I think that the media and other people want to hate Michael Jackson simply because he is Michael Jackson. It isn’t about his white skin, it’s about the fact that their jealous and just wanted to tear him, so they could feel better about themselves. If they were smart they would stop spending their time critiquing MJ’s appearance, and spend more time working on their own insecurities. So for all of you Non-MJ fans that believed MJ was “trying to be white”, I just want you to know that this is not the case, and you should ask yourself “Why does it matter what color his skin was anyway”?? For all the fan’s , well you already know by listening to MJ’s song that “ It don’t matter if your black or white” Lol
