On my way down to the valley this morning a random Mexican in a silver F-250 put a Mike memorial keepsake program out of his window and gave it to me. We were in stop and go traffic. That was very nice of him. I guess he saw the MICHAEL JACKSON FOREVER across my back window. A simple act can go along way in making someone’s day better. Thank you random Mexican man! I hear there is a Mike event at the city walk this evening. I wanna go. I would love to get back into television and follow that career goal. TV is very wack sometimes. Now that the facts are out and there are no new developments, people are starting to speculate and that upsets me. If I were still in television I would ask that I not be assigned to any stories Mike related that were not Positive and fact based. I am biased in a good way and I was raised right. I cannot, will not slander is name in any way. Not even for a job. I did get to write 2 stories about him when I was an AP. They got dropped, but I wrote them. Thanks for giving me those stories P! I forget what is was about. He was in Bahrain back in 2005-2006 so that was probably what it was about. Just heard on KCAL that they are running tests on his brain. He is just somewhere decomposing. Being human; a living being sucks in that way. Damn, Latoya signed the death certificate. This still seems unreal. Last night when I stopped to get gas there was a white piece of paper in the LA Times paper rack about a Commemorative Sunday Mike LA Times with his 1984 Grammys pic on it…I took it. Good news, it comes out this coming Sunday. I thought I had missed it.
There’s this Universal “Moonwalk” event tonight at the city walk where they are going to screen Thriller, The Wiz, and do a dance retrospective of his dances. I am going. I hope I have fun. I tend to have to do these things alone. Oronde said he would meet me up there so maybe I won’t be so on the verge of crying and will be able to celebrate.
Went to Universal Moonwalk tonight. They had dance offs and moonwalk contests. WAIT, gotta interrupt this report…I just saw a commercial for Nightline where Martin Bashir’s bitch ass is promoting an interview with Joe Jackson about what he feels should happen to the kids and what he thinks led to Mike’s passing. WTF kind of shit is this? How could he be affiliated with or even consider speaking to Nightline or anything Martin Bashir related after the way Martin Bashir’s Bitch Ass did Mike in that Living with MJ show? That shit was so bad and biased the network had to make a rebuttal show hosted by Maury Povich to set the record straight! Man, folks ain’t right! Folks ain’t right. Anyway, back to the Universal Moonwalk. They had dance contests and other random people dancing. You know…I didn’t like the way they had the dirty 80’s outfitted (thanks Oronde) zombies spliced into the Thriller video. It was stupid. I’m out here to watch Mike on a big ass screen! Looked like someone’s dance class full of 13 year olds. Singing along to The Wiz was fun. Me & Oronde shot the breeze and the breeze shot back. It was kinda chilly out there. Walking through the City Walk they had Mike’s music playing. I heard IJCSLY and Leave Me Alone. They were selling Mike T-Shirts for $9.99 at some souvenir store. I don’t want a shirt that mentions his death. Today was a tearless day. I wonder if my grief is lighter when I am away from home?
