Remember a few years ago when the prisoners at a Philippine prison did the infamous Thriller dance in the prison courtyard? Word is that it dramatically cut down on prison violence. The Warden there was a visionary. Now if we could only get those chuckleheads out in those California prisons to follow suit. Imagine the Northern and Southern Mexicans, the Aryans, and the brother’s coming together through dance to overcome their differences. Okay, I deserve to be slapped for even mentioning that.

But the Filipinos are at it again as they pay tribute to the late great Michael Jackson. Story here!

The Michael Jackson That I Remember!

Ever since Michael Jackson passed away yesterday there has been non-stop coverage of his life and the circumstances surrounding his death. What never ceases to amaze me is the media’s fascination speculating about the cause of his death instead of celebrating his life. It reminds me of the death of my father. People would offer the perfunctory “I’m sorry” followed by “What did he die of?” Does it really matter? He’s dead! As if a fatal heart attack or getting hit by a bus are any different.

What is equally as troubling is the fact that they are delving into a lot of things that are certainly inappropriate at this time. Such as his self loathing, i.e., the endless plastic surgeries, the straightening of his hair, and the bleaching of his skin. They are also bringing up the fact that his children are not biologically his and who is going to get custody. I didn’t know that but who cares? He was taking care of them and that’s good enough for me. I even heard one pundit say that he is worth more in death now than he ever was in life. Think Elvis and Graceland. It’s sickening!

And of course, the sexual allegations are mentioned in the same breath as his number one hits. That was a sad and disgusting part of his life. You’d like to think that the allegations were false but when you settle for 23 million dollars, that really is just hush money. The molestation charges a few years later were even more disgusting even though he was acquitted. Michael Jackson’s life was a paradox, he had it all and still had nothing. For all of his fortune and fame, he managed to lose himself and that was tragic.

But none of that is the Michael Jackson that I choose to or care to remember. I first saw Michael and The Jackson Five when I was 9 or 10 at Shady Grove in Rockville, MD and I was completely blown away. Over the years as Michael matured and ventured out on his own he continued to mesmerize me with his talent. That included not only his singing and dancing ability but his creativity in his music videos. He singlehandedly forced MTV to start featuring black artists on its network. We all have our idiosyncrasies and personal demons to battle but everytime I saw Michael Jackson perform, it was through they eyes of a 9 or 10 year old in awe! Hope to see you moonwalking on the other side…

You’re Beautiful!

more about “You’re Beautiful!“, posted with vodpod

My life is brilliant.

My life is brilliant.
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I’m sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won’t lose no sleep on that,
‘Cause I’ve got a plan.

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.

Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Flying high,
And I don’t think that I’ll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
I saw your face in a crowded place,
And I don’t know what to do,
‘Cause I’ll never be with you.

You’re beautiful. You’re beautiful.
You’re beautiful, it’s true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it’s time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.

Don’t Cry For Me In Argentina!

How fucking pathetic! Not since Mike Tyson emasculated himself in that infamous interview with his former wife Robin Givens, have I ever seen such a sorry excuse for a man. Mark Sanford of South Carolina is a joke. I could barely contain my laughter when the ‘Luv Gov’ stated that he spent “the last five days of my life crying in Argentina.” What a crock of shit! Move over Evita.

The one thing that really troubles me is that the state’s largest newspaper had obtained the Governor’s private emails between himself and his Latina lover and had been sitting on them. It’s a good thing they did. Here is a sample of the Lothario’s romantic rants:

“Got back an hour ago to civilization and am now in Columbia after what was for me a glorious break from reality down at the farm. No phones ringing and tangible evidence of a day’s labors. Though I have started every day by 6 this morning woke at 4:30, I guess since my body knew it was the last day, and I went out and ran the excavator with lights until the sun came up. To me, and I suspect no one else on earth, there is something wonderful about listening to country music playing in the cab, air conditioner running, the hum of a huge diesel engine in the back ground, the tranquillity that comes with being in a virtual wilderness of trees and marsh, the day breaking and vibrant pink coming alive in the morning clouds – and getting to build something with each scoop of dirt.”

Those South Carolina boys really know how to woo the ladies. He should resign immediately, not only because he has condemned this type of behavior and has called for prior miscreants to resign, but because his assault on romanticism cannot go unpunished.

After having a full day to digest everything, it appears that the Governor may have been set up. That is why he was forced to conduct an ad hoc press conference instead of releasing a statement. Who released his emails to the press and leaked what time he would be arriving at the airport will probably be answered soon. I almost felt sorry for the man as he cried and the children behind him mugged for the cameras. But then I thought that if you have to fly to another continent to get a piece of ass, you don’t deserve my sympathy. It’s in the dictionary between shit and syphilis.
