The Michael Jackson Memorial Tribute
This is how a tribute is done.
That has to be the most beautiful memorial I have ever seen. I don’t know what else to say. I can’t choose a stand out moment because every minute of it was a stand out. Anyone watching this, a fanatic, a casual fan, neutral or even a detractor, cannot watch this program without telling me they felt something.
I groaned when I heard Rev. Al Sharpton would be there, but he definitely proved me wrong with his speech. Queen Latifah did an excellent telling of Dr. Maya Angelo’s poem for Michael, but I’m not complaining.
And his children, my God his children! They were so beautiful (so was the rest of the family). I really saw Michael in their faces for the first time, especially tonight. I hope they stay strong and God help the media to leave them alone.
Tears tried to flood the gates that were my eyes several times; Brooke Shields’ speech, Mariah Carey and Trey Lorenz singing ‘I’ll Be There’, Usher singing ‘Gone Too Soon’, etc. But it was Marlon and Paris Jackson where I totally lost it.
God bless the Jackson family and bless you Michael Jackson.
Rest in Peace.

ffs, stop sending me the hoax Jordan Chandler article
I already touched on this briefly, but it seems that it needs to be said again in its own entry.
Jordan Chandler has not come to the press and confessed anything. Stop sending me emails to post this. I don’t know who’s bright idea was it to fabricate such an article, and I pray that someone didn’t get any ideas because I posted the entry about the case from Wikipedia in 2007 (which much of it was copied from).
First of all, the article is about wrong in 11 different ways than it is right. Its poorly written, the grammar is horrible, and there’s no source. I’ve seen several different versions of this ‘article’ around the internet, that now contain old pictures [circa 2005] from my blog that no one else has but me. So I know whoever it was, has to have visited here at some point recently, in order to include them. I don’t think its too far fetched to conclude that its probably by an extremely dedicated MJ fan who is so pressed for people to see that he is innocent that they decided it would be a good idea to make up a confession. Gee, thanks a lot. Just what I need.
The writer mixed up the son and father’s names; Evan Chandler is the father, not the accuser. Major fail there. The ‘quotes’ from the ‘interview’ was probably the best part, though. Wake up, its 2009, not 1993. Jordan is almost 30 years old, and the quotes sound like he’s still 13 years old. A run on sentence? “Sorry I lied my dad made me do it”? Really, this is pathetic. Like I said, he will speak about it on his own time, if he ever chooses to do so (which I doubt, but that’s not the point). Making up quotes or confessions is illegal and unlawful. I’m not just saying this for shits and giggles.
Lastly, and most importantly:
Please stop bashing Jordan in the comments.
I give up replying to them all. I really have. I wish I could, but just too many people visiting at this point. If any more crazy MJ fans come here and spew hatred about an innocent person who couldn’t help what has happened to himself, the entry will be closed to comments, PERIOD. It’s not cute. He should not be held responsible; do not write shit like “he should go to hell” or whatever nonsense I’ve been skimming through. He was taken advantage of. He is also the victim in this tragedy.
He was (and still remains to be) abused, but not by Jackson, contrary to popular belief, but his own father. And unfortunately, it happens at an innocent man’s expense.
I just don’t get Photobucket
I noticed all my photos have been reactivated yesterday, but now what? I get the same notice again. Um, okay. I feel like I’ve been waiting for the 30th of June to past forever and now its saying it again, WTF? I’m beginning to hate their service.
Your bandwidth usage will reset to zero on the 30th of next month’s cycle based on your original registration date. All your image and video files will be reactivated at that time.
The racism in the Latino culture rivals America’s
After doing a lot of research (mostly in the library) I have to come to the conclusion that the racism and black hatred here give America’s racial history a run for their money.
