Rest In Piece Michael Jackson

Hearing about Michael Jacksons death was of course a shocker. I didn't know what to think at first, I actually became rather emotional inside. For me, Michael Jackson is such an amazing artist, no one will ever be able to compare to him. His music was the most influential, incredibly written music ever. Its hard to put into words how his music truly impacted my life. I remember listening to him ever since I was little, my dad would tease me because Thriller would scare the shit out of me. But his music was so inspirational, and played a part in giving me such an open mind. Songs like Black and White, Earth Song, Man in the Mirror, Heal the World, They Don't Care About Us, and many others, all were so real and true, he sang it perfectly where you could feel his passion in the lyrics he was singing. And if it wasn't lyrics it was just the song, Remember the Time, Jam, Keep it in the Closet, Scream, and SO many others are just incredible beats and just pretty much perfectly put together and preformed. But his music is so captivating he just grabs you w/ his lyrics and just the flow and beat of his music, just made you want to dance. And oh MAN could he dance. He was so crisp and clean, and perfect w/ his moves, he just never missed a beat. Remember the Time's dance sequel is one of my favorites, along w/ Smooth Criminal, Bad, and countless others [Of course Thrillers choreo was AMAZING] He seriously changed music and dance forever. Its hard to put into words the amount of talent this man really truly had.

No one seems to notice that anymore, all they decided to talk about was the negative things about him, and the shit he was accused of. I would think since he died people would ignore that and possibly giving him the credit he deserves considering he's probably been a musical influence in some of the artists they listen to. Without Michael Jackson we wouldn't have a lot of the artists we do today, only few are true artists, a lot of the shit coming out now is retarded, but thats another post lol.

I thought that the MJ tribute at the 09 VMA's almost made me want to cry, I thought it was awesome for Janet to come out and kind of have her last performance with her brother. The dancing was incredible, it was so well put together I was pretty much speechless and yes Kanye is a douche for what he did to Taylor, he also took away the fact that that night was suppose to celebrated in Michaels memory and Kanye, in my opinion, really disrespected that, and Taylor. But anyway, please feel free to comment about Michaels music and dance and how it has impacted your life. And please, remember him for all his great things, like revolutionizing music and dance forever. And enjoy the videos =]

Thank you

What is wrong with US?

" A string of attacks in the U.S. in the last month left 44 people dead in all.

A gunman killed 10 people and himself in Samson, Ala.; shootings that began with a traffic stop in Oakland, Calif., left four police officers and the gunman dead; an apparent murder-suicide in Santa Clara, Calif., left six dead; and a gunman went on a rampage at a nursing home Sunday, killing seven elderly residents and a nurse who cared for them. "

44 lives are lost, 44 families are still mourning the lose of someone they loved, and that is just in one month! What is wrong with people?? And why do they take the lives of others? Of people they don't even know! It makes me sick, every day on the news its always another sad fucking story, kids shooting up schools in other countries, its always violence and murder... WTF?!

I hate going out in public, for a few different reasons. 

1. No one pays the fuck attention to what they are doing. - they are all wrapped up in their cell phone conversation and their own little bubble to possibly consider the person you just cut off, or the fact that you're going 30 in a 45. People need to pay attention and realize they're not the only one in the mall, grocery store, driving on the street, anywhere. It's called manners and consideration and its obviously something NO ONE is teaching their kids anymore. 

2. Everyone is in a hurry! Seriously... I do the speed limit because I can't afford a speeding ticket! And I leave early enough that I don't have to hurry. I hate being rushed, I hate being late. My class starts at 8 am and I leave before 7:30 and live not even 3 miles from my school. Traffic is hell after 7:30 and its full of everyone in a hurry to get to work. if its 40 mph I'm not going to go over 45. I don't want to get pulled over, that will make me late, plus cops camp the same spot almost everyday so no, I'm not going to speed up even though you're on my ass. Go around, and kiss my ass while you're at it. 

3. People need to GET OVER THEMSELVES! Ok so, you're walking in a store and someone damn near misses your grocery cart because they don't have the decency to look where they are going and realize they're not the only one in the fucking store. People have no regard for anyone, its like you expect everyone to be cautious and watch out for you and you just go along as you please, w/ no regard for how you're treating people around you. 

I strongly believe smiles are contagious, I wish I could say the same for kindness. Everyone has problems, and places to be, and things to do, not just you. So slow down, and maybe smile for once, hold the door open for someone if you meet them at the door. Let someone go ahead of you if you meet them at an intersection. Everyone seems to be so pissed off all the time. Don't get me wrong, life fucking sucks, but that doesn't mean you have to let it effect you, because you don't know how you effect someone else. It's sad to say that a lot of all this is because of horrible parenting. Parents that didn't take them time to teach their kids true values in life, and manners, and respect. I don't have to know you to respect you. I lose respect for you when you disrespect anyone, including yourself. I can only hope that one day there might actually be somewhat peace on earth, where we can all just get along and just..

Support LOVE

I don't get it? Why? Why do this to someone? You give them the chance to finally let them share their love in marriage to only take it away. If you've ever experienced being in love, whether straight, gay, black, white, whatever it doesn't matter. There should be no restriction on love. It is something so special and so amazing that everyone should be able to have it and have the option to marry if they choose. Why take that away from someone? What does it matter to you? How is it hurting you to let others express their love through marriage? Seriously? This is so fucking irritating. WHO CARES? It doesn't cost you money for 2 men or 2 women to get married. It doesn't cost you a fucking thing to let to people share their love for one another.

This country has come far when it comes to equality, we get a step closer to actually being a UNITED States(Obama being first black Pres), but yet, this ban comes in place which just makes us more divided. What's next, because someone decides to share happiness w/ someone of the same sex they're not going to be able to eat at certain places? I mean come on. Oh it bothers you to see 2 men holding hands, and lord forbid they kiss in front of you. Well fuck you, it makes me absolutely sick to see you at all. How does that make you feel? Or better yet, I hate to see you kiss your loved one and express your love for one another. Feel shitty yet? You should. Why keep happiness from someone? Especially when it really doesn't effect you in any way. 2 people should be able to express love for each through marriage, no matter the age, race, sex, or anything. It doesn't matter. Love is love. Something so amazing has these restrictions. 'Oh, you can't get married because you love another woman.' What kind of country are we?

Someone said that because Obama won presidency that our country is just going to be more divided. I said yeah, if the you let it. We don't have to be, the people of America CHOOSE to be divided. Because they can't get over themselves, and have too much pride. I don't know how, I'm not proud of this country. We've been going downhill for years. Call me unpatriotic I don't give a fuck, I don't hate American's, I hate our gov't. The people fucking us over. The people that will do something like 9/11 and use it to get us into a bullshit war. I support our troops all the way, but not this fucking war. We're rebuilding a country that has enough of its own money to rebuild itself. It's time to bring our troops home and rebuild OUR country. The country people dream of living in... I don't see how now. We have to go into debt to stay alive unless you have top of the line health insurance. Even if you do, the insurance companies will find loop holes and ways to make you pay. Its bullshit. We're one of the only countries that have to pay to go see a doctor and to see if we're going to live another 5 years. Its just completely ridiculous. And for those of you against socializing health care. GET OVER YOURSELF.

What if your loved one got extremely sick, but because they don't have health insurance, they can't go to the hospital without having to pay an ass load of money, and go into debt, just for someone to tell them what is wrong w/ them. Not to mention they'll probably have to wait 4 hours just to see someone. Wouldn't you want socialized health care then? So they can just walk into the hospital whether they have money or not and get proper treatment. It makes me sick that people are so selfish to basically not care if another human dies. Our gov't doesn't give a fuck, apparently a lot of our citizens don't either. People need to get over themselves and swallow their pride. I am hoping things get better in this country because of course, I have debt and I can't move the fuck out of here!

President Elect

Now before I go on I have to let you know I did not vote, I didn't want Obama or McCain as President. And since I couldn't vote for who I truly believe should run our country I didn't vote at all. Which if I would have, it would have been for Obama.

Anyway,
Now that we have made history w/ our new President a lot of people are mad. I honestly would like to know why someone voted for McCain, not why you didn't want Obama, but what was it about McCain that you liked enough to give him your vote. I know a lot of people didn't vote Obama because of race, age, experience, and because of his name, and if you voted only on those reasons, shame on you. We live in land of freedom where we are all equal, you are no better than I, nor I am any better than anyone. Our country has gone to shit. And its not Obama's fault, its not McCains fault, and its not all just Bush's fault. I don't believe McCain would have been able to fix this country, just like Obama won't. Not in a 4 yr term anyway. A lot of people think our country is going to go to shit because of Obama, well wake up people our country has been on that steady downhill climb for awhile now.

So all I am wanting is reasons why you supported McCain.
Not reasons why you don't like Obama, what is something that McCain stood for that you believed in and supported? Are you supporting his causes and what he stands for? Or are you supporting the fact that he has more experience? Or did you support him just because he's not Obama, and what is it that you don't like about Obama?
I do have to say tho, that I do believe Palin is a joke, her interview w/ Curic was ridiculous. (I believe shes half the reason McCain lost) If she was VP I would be worried because of how close she would have been to being President, if something were to happen to McCain. People talk about Obama's inexperience, but yet they think she has enough experience to take on the roll of President. Which I find funny.

But anyway, feel free to respond w/ why you support McCain. I'm sure this will bring on people getting pissed of and unleashing their anger, go for it. If this pisses you off, sorry, this is the beauty of Freedom of Speech.
I do have to say that I hope Obama does well w/ his term, and really tries to pick up this country from the shit hole its been thrown into. We'll see what type of "terrorist attack" our government thinks up to test him as our new President.

Please, if you have not seen it, watch this movie :

Love will keep us alive.



I don't get why people can't put the color/gender/sexuality behind and realize we're all equal. My hope is one day America really will be free.
