(no subject)
Im sure everyone was awaiting an entry yesterday. Especially after i posted this June 17th....
"the day Michael Jackson dies i'm going to have a serious nervous breakdown.
well, i have nervous breakdowns everyday, so this one will be a different sort of nervous breakdown? oh yeah, a serious one.
whatever, either way, im going to freak the fuck out.
oh yeah, and shut up."
weird...
But truthfully, i was at a loss for words yesterday. I still am. I couldnt post. This event has pushed me even farther into my cave. Im not sure what to say. What do i say about someone who has literally saved my life? I don't care if you don't like Michael Jackson, i dont care what you think about him. I don't expect people now, just because he's gone, to suddenly like him and understand my views, i really dont, but if you dont care about MJ, atleast respect the fact that someone whom i have never met, has saved my life before. That's how inspirational he was to me. I am an extreme pessimist, and there hasnt been an optimist yet to change my views, but Michael Jackson. So for someone to change my life so much and actually make me happy every single time i was ever sad, it takes a fucking lot.
Michael Jackson has really changed my life and how i see the world, and I'm not going to talk about how awesome he was and this and that, you can turn on the news for the next week and listen to all of that, but no matter what you think of him, you cannot deny, that when it comes down to it, we all know he was a legend, an idol, and an amazing musician. There will be many that try to imitate MJ, and no matter how close they get, Chris Brown, Usher, Justin Timberlake, not ANYONE will ever be able to top Michael and create the power that he did in his lyrics. And many will disagree, simply because most people only know the greatest hits, but for those who go beyond the hits and actually listen to the lyrics and the messages he displays, will understand where I'm coming from, and realize what a genius he was.
It's time to return to my roots and head down to Gary soon. [Wearing my MJ engraved bracelet and MJ shirt, of course] and this time im going under unfortunate circumstances.
The day I've always feared has come, and as sad as I am, i cannot believe the outstanding response I've gotten from my friends. I thought there wasnt a way to smile, but my god, all the phone calls, and texts, and messages proved me wrong.. It made me happy to know that EVERYONE immediately thought about me. And most of the messages said the words, "I'm sorry for your loss" as if it were a family member. thank god everyone understands my deep passion for this man. Crazy.
MJ was just an eccentric person that was extremely misunderstood, so say what you want, but we should all be thanking him for his inspiration, his perseverance, his innocence, and most of all the talent that he shared with the entire world. He brought me up, and i wouldnt want anyone else in the world to do so.
Plenty of people and things have let me down in my life, but MJ has NEVER, and will never, ever let me down. Anything so extraordinary as to excite wonder and astonishment from me really means a lot. because i am not passionate towards many things. I don't respect too many people, because respect is not given, it's earned. MJ is one person that i respect in every aspect.
I admire him for many reasons, and we all should. The man is unbreakable. After going through so much in his whole life, he was still an optimist, and never gave up. He left me too soon, but I find peace of mind thinking about all of his accomplishments in his life, because nobody in the world could do as much as he did. He was only 50, but he lived one hell of a life. I can only wish I have as much strenght as he did.
You can try and deny a legend, but you cant try to deny the fact that the music from all of his albums are played in every corner of the world and the reason for that is because he had it all...talent, grace, professionalism and dedication. He was the consummate entertainer and his contributions and legacy will be felt upon the world forever. I'm completely with you Quincy, I lost my one and only prodigy yesterday, and part of my soul has gone with him.
Hah, i said i wouldn't talk about how awesome he was and this and that, and look at what the entry turned out to be, lol. But hey, i couldnt help it.
And although this whole entry was filled with much sadness and despair, it's going to end with excitement and happiness, because theres nothing else in the entire world that id want to be doing right now than going down to Gary Indiana and sitting on the porch of Michaels old house. I dont care what I have to do today,you better believe i'll be there. And im excited to see where the legacy of his music brings me next. The most difficult objective I've always faced in my life throughout the years was finding motivation. just motivation for everything in general. but because of Michael Jackson, i was able to overcome many things, and I'm excited for the motivation and strength he will bring me now.
I hope he finds the peace he's been longing to find. In your own words Michael, "Never can say goodbye.."
So i wont end it with goodbye....
THE MAN. THE GENIUS. THE LEGEND.
LONG LIVE THE KING.
