No introduction needed...

When I was around 6 0r 7 years old, on the weekends I would get very bored. I had a couple friends in the neighborhood to play with and also an older sister, but sometimes they don't always want to play and maybe doing their own thing....So I would just sit around and just think of things to do until I realized.....hmmmm......I still have nothing to do lol...

So in the tv room in my house, my mother had a lot of vhs tapes with many labels on them...I payed them no mind until that one day that I got so bored and chose to go and search through them...I discovered many old movies, shows, soap operas and tv specials dating back to the late 70s that my mother had taped (I also think my dad taped a couple, like days at the park when my sister and I were little and would play around etc...)....

I saw one in particular that said MOTOWN 25 on the label written in pencil, I popped it in and saw this....




I could not believe my eyes and what I was seeing...so much talent, irresistible music, excellent dancing.......I was just addicted immediately to what I saw, I could not keep my eyes off of what I was witnessing, even a whole decade after the show was recorded....Then, I saw this right after that............



After I saw that performance, I knew that I was officially in love with music and its many aspects...but most importantly; I was a Micheal Jackson fan (as well as his brothers, LOVE them)....

Michael Jackson's passing has not been very hard for me to cope with surprisingly, probably because I am very optimistic and believe that the time will come for us all to go to the other side one day in our life but moreover because I am still in denial and I don't understand what it means when I think about "Michael Jackson being dead"....The man who put me on to music, which is my savior....Something that I love more than anything else in the world.....The man whose whole life was equivalent to no other human's on this earth......The man who could bring all people together of all races and creeds under the name of music....The man that caught every person's eye that ever witnessed him moonwalk in person or on tv..............NO.............I don't WANT to believe it, but YES...I do understand that he is not here any more...Physically.....But spiritually he lives on through not only his music....but ALL music......His influences on so many other artists is countless....

Since MJ's passing, I have been watching his and his brothers videos everyday, downloading more of his music everyday, collecting memoribillia when I have the money to do so (LOL) and so on. I feel kind of bad that these past years I haven't really been looking into what was going on with Micheal and that I wasn't as into him as I was in the past....But when life's responsibilities like college and work come around...You don't have the time to many things that you want to do or wish you had the time to do, especially being a college student......But I just want Michael to know that I love him, I will never forget him, that I dedicate and pledge my life to teaching the world about the GOOD man he was, no matter what the media says.......He was the most loving, giving and respectful artist of all time......Not to mention the King of Pop....

I could go on and on about how much Mike has influenced me and how in 7th grade after his 30th Anniversay Celebration TV special came on I went to Circuit City to buy the Off The Wall, Thriller and HIStory album and took them EVERYWHERE and how on the way to school on the bus I would have my headphones on...Just in my own world.....floating through music and its heights of wonderment......He also got me hooked on the move The Wiz....LOL....But I refuse to continue to babble on and on because only God and I know how much he has influenced me and if Mike ever knew me...Then he would know too....

I leave you with some of his videos; some favorite songs of mine...Some songs of his that I just discovered after his passing that I love, some interviews and some collages that I have been making recently that are straight from the heart, please click on the images in order to make them larger so you can see them clearly (they look so much better that way, damn you blogspot lol).....I love you all, and I hope Michael has affected you in some kind of way that he did me....Enjoy!
























I hope you all enjoyed this tribute as much as I do, I really could post more but I will stop myself....
God bless you all, and God bless Mike...I MISS U MIKE AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH! THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION! I also have other collages and I am in the process of making more so if you all would like to see more just let me know...
