So, I have decided to start another blog. Again lol. Seems I'm so caught up in this virtual world I simply cannot resist the temptation to introduce something new. Oh well, I guess its allowed, seeing the number of free services, ideas going around and the emergence of new things to talk about everyday (any retard could have figured that one out). So what am I on about this time?
Well, this could get a bit personal with time, but for now its just about everyday life and things every other person goes through. meeting new people, experiencing new things, emotions (eeekk), going new places, highs and lows, happy days, disappointments, anger, complaints, appreciation...well the lot really - maybe a clip or two from the news desk and from my music catalogue. I haven’t really had the chance to rant a rave about much lately, seeing as the death of Michael Jackson seems to have taken over the virtual world as well as our everyday lives and television sets too. Jumping onto the bandwagon......
I never met him, but growing up he was my childhood hero - I haven't met anyone from my age group who wouldn’t go shopping for trousers two sizes too small so they could reveal the white socks..And the white glove..Yes the white glove - mandatory fashion accessory for an infant back in the 80's or early 90's. So yes you've figured it out, I’m an eighties kid. Anyhow, I remember mastering the moonwalk at an early age - didn’t we all think we were "smooth Criminals" - and I learned it so well it’s still stuck in me till today..helped of course by my high school years when we had our moonwalk version code-named "SLAM" to make it sound more funky/cool/whatever identity we were trying to portray in those days (good days though). Bad was the theme song...and after a dance session always end with the kick and shout "who's Bad"..lmao. And there was Thriller. For some odd reason (well not so odd now), I grew up believing it was a movie (well you can say it was). Now i know why, with the attention span of a 5year old (when I did eventually see the clip) why i believed it to be a movie. Gosh that was one long music video..And boy was/is it brilliant. That is undoubtedly the greatest music video of all time, and my first experience with "Horror movies" before being introduced to the mind blowing Friday the 13th series.
Getting a bit older, Jam took over; with its hip-hop tempo I can see when my love for hip-hop came. Black or White, Heal the World, Remember the Time, Give it to Me. Singing along, mastering the lyrics, and the dance moves. Stuck to the tellie just so I could show off the dance moves to my friends, convinced I was the coolest MJ fan and the best dancer as well. They were good days I must say.
Earth Song. They don’t care about us. Every time I’m on youtube past couple days and watching an MJ video, there has been 20 others watching the same video at the same time. No wonder why google news and Wikipedia crushed for a moment after his death. The man was a legend.
That said, he was never far from controversy. From the plastic surgery, baby dangling antics, lil boy accusations..Well..The lot. And that seemed to be all some lil boys and gals know of the man, or would like to remember of the man. Understandably when they were introduced to the wonderful world of Wacko Jacko, he may have been in the limelight for the wrong reasons. That does not however give anyone a reasons to update facebook statuses with junk and tweet pathetic words. Let the man rest in peace – black or white – this world was too much for him now.
So yes, the fairytale with the King of Pop has finally come to a screeching halt, as did the fairytale with the Princess of the World, Princess Diana (though that seemed more of a conspiracy than that of the MJ’s doctor secretly poisoning him with prescription pills). And that has taken over my first blog post.
Well, I’ll be back shortly, maybe with a totally different idea from the sad and somber one that’s I’ve just dropped. Maybe I’ll spread the smile idea from Cleo’s Diary.
Hello and Goodbye…nice to meet you.
