Today was just a rough day for me in general. I woke up in a crummy mood, just on edge all day, and some people have just really been pissing me off lately. I think I'm going to make this entry public because it doesn't really have too much personal stuff in it.

Anyway, one of the early people to shape my taste in music died today. While I didn't support a lot of his more recent lifestyle choices, there's no denying the greatness of his talent and musical genius. He was a spectacular artist and will never be forgotten. It really saddened, but humbled me today to hear about the death, and all the great things people had to say about him. But I really wonder why so many people didn't bother saying nicer things about him more often. Whenever I'd play Michael Jackson with a group of friends, the immediate response almost every time would be "EW WHY ARE YOU PLAYING MUSIC BY THAT FREAK" or something of similar nature. I really think things could have been so much different with him if more people could just show the kindness in their hearts, and really be supportive. I guess what I'm trying to say is I hate how our society works with everyone just trying to oust everyone else. I don't get why people can't be more compassionate towards others.

Re: Sad day
People actually said that when you played Michael Jackson? That's ridiculous. His music and everything is awesome. I don't see how anyone could think otherwise, even with some of his personal choices. Those people are lame, lol.

Re: Sad day
Yep, people have said that. And I guess they just have a lame perspective. I think that will change after how much everyone is recognizing his talent right now.

Re: Sad day
the problem is the past 10+ years have been terrible for him so this next generation really don't know sh!t and only know about all the lawsuits and court stuff he was going through. Even though he was cleared of  it back in 2005 his career was ruined and that's what started it. Do what you gotta do man. Listen to it dance to it you listen to music because you love it and he's got by far the best stuff in the world.

My kids were never allowed to tell Michael Jackson jokes in my home. No matter what I believed about the allegations. I don't find peoples pain and suffering and weaknesses to be something to laugh about or make jokes about. It often frustrated me greatly!

 

Maybe if he was shown the compassion that everyone deserves he wouldn't have had so much darkness. I have always been saddened by his life story. I only pray that he is finally at peace.

Honestly, I believe a lot of the allegations were pure garbage, and that it was just undeserved negative attention. He already had self esteem issues, and it wasn't helping that almost nobody was giving him some kind of positive reinforcement.

I'm glad you made a rule like that, good to know someone was taking a stand.

Re: Sad day
You know? It was really hard for me, when all that came up. I did not want to believe it, and still so often I wish I just didn't. But with Michael Jackson, there are TOO many boys who acussed, over many years. Michael totally fits the profile,  and to claim innocense at any expense is typical. With Kobe, there's room to be unsure, with Michael, theres just not. It makes me very sad.

 

I just got done reading about Ted Bundy, don't know if you know who he was. But as aweful of a person as he was, being a sociopath, he obviously struggled greatly with his demons.  After he killed the girls and came out of what ever state of consciousness he's in to kill them and do the other things he did, he would find himself in a state of panic, later he would go back and visit the body and put makeup on them. Some wierd sense of remorse I think, I don't know. I think it's very sad, Definately sad for the victims, but for him as well. He didn't want to die, thats the truth,but executing him put a stop to the craziness in his head.

Re: Sad day
I totally agree.

 

Michael has always had a part of my heart. I grew up with his music and always hearing about him. He was my moms favourite artist, and man, she cried like a baby when she heard he died.

 

He was such a generous man, and I really did love him! I wish people wouldn't be so quick to judge. Even if they didn't enjoy his music or went along with the rumors,

 

they didn't have be so rude about his death. A lot of my friends were making fun of him and passing around crude jokes and it really did upset me.

 

The man just died; and they couldn't hold off a day or two?
