Recently, I created a Michael Jackson roleplay site. Basically, you can sign up as yourself, your alterego, a Michael, or any other Michael related character. (Like Janet, Jermaine, etc.) It's a site where you can talk to "Michael" and Michael's alteregos, as well as interact with other characters, all roleplaying as characters in the MJ world, making you feel Michael is right there with you. We're just starting, so I would really like it if we got some members, and possibly some MICHAELS too! Please pass this along and try to get people to join. :D Thank you. http://moonwalkthisway.bestbb.net/

Today, while I was standing at my locker, someone came up to me and began demanding how I could possibly like Michael Jackson. Before I could defend Michael, he continued to list off every tabloid headline that ever existed. I soon walked away, not because I was at a loss for words, but because he was too pathetic of an opponent for my rebuttal.
As I have explained before, teenagers are easily controlled by the wiles of society, and they think how they feel would be the best way to fit in and be accepted by fellow friends and the environment they interact with. They fail to think with the logic that is needed in a workplace situation and that is needed in the real world. If they had bothered to stop and think it through, they would find it's very impossible for them to be right. In fact, how can an underqualified grade nine student have the right to pass judgements for an entire jury and an unbiased judge of state? If you're failing general mathematics and cannot differientiate a square root from a polynomial, I do not feel you have the right to make judgements where professionals are involved. Just because the media says something on television, doesn't mean it's right. As a child, we've learned from our parents to trust the TV. After all, we grew up with educational shows and newscasts. We believed it when Elmo taught us that 1+2 does in fact equal 3. We believed it when the local weatherman said it might rain tonight. So why should that feeling change with age? I mean, eventually, we'll all realize that the sources for the stories can be either reliable or unreliable. Most magazines just want to sell more copies, that is their job after all. People would rather buy magazines if the headlines were "Downfall of a Superstar!" instead of "Michael visits local orphanage and donates money". People crave scandals. It's their nature. We love to see the ones at the top fall to the bottom. Now is the time for the teenagers of our generation to see past the lies and the webs they weave. And maybe someday, the media will come to their senses that these are people's lives they're runing. People with family, emotions, feelings. People who can cry. Celebrities aren't just a pretty face on the television screen, or a voice coming out of your radio. People feel they can put them down because they're not RELATABLE, they're not REAL. But the point that everyone misses is that they ARE indeed real. And when they finally become human in your mind is when you can finally see everything clearly. Thank you for listening to my rant.

I'm 14 years old. :) I never thought age was really a restriction in loving someone as much as I love Michael. Because some haters might argue that since I didn't grow up with him, I don't understand him as well. But they can't be more wrong because I am. I mean, I have to put up with a lot of mockery because of what I stand for. It's sad to see what the world has succumbed to; as teenagers. It's exactly what Michael said. This kind of behavior and hate (aided by the media) is what leads to kids bringing guns to school. I think teenagers are extremely gullible. They believe what they read in the media. And since everyone thinks Michael Jackson is "weird" and a "pedophile", they choose to believe in the fit in, and to avoid standing out and being made fun of. Well, I'm taking a stand and I'm saying, "You know what? I don't want to believe something that's lies spewed by the media. I want to believe in someone pure of heart." And I choose to believe in Michael. Nobody bothers to dig deeper and see what they might find. But when they do? It's totally worth it. I read up on an article depicting the legality of the child molestation charges. And if you read all the facts, it becomes clear that it was all a ruse for extortion. I'm a writer, as well as a humanitarian and that's because Michael inspired me to become who I am today. He inspired me to change my attitude and the way I look at life. I know if someone tackles me down, I could just get back up and know my friends are always behind me. I began a charity in my local community in Michael's name, because I believe that one day, his vision might be fulfilled. And World Peace, however impossible that sounds, might be achieved. And that's it about me. xoxo, Anne

Join my groups, everyone! :) But also, group photos aren't working... wonder why? I promoted this website on my Twitter, as well as Facebook. Thank God for social networking ,eh? That's right. I'm Canadian. I say "eh". Haha, sometimes, I think Michael would've liked hanging around with me a lot. I have his sense of humor. We could have water balloon fights ALL day. I wouldn't climb a tree though. I'm too much of a wuss. I could just imagine Michael doing a little puppy face and trying to get me to climb the tree with him.

Well, I was watching "In the Closet" for the umpteenth time, and I kept spamming my friend's MSN convos with: 1. The youtube link 2. How incredibly HOT and SEXY and GORGEOUS Michael was 3. Random pictures of him And this is one of the funniest things that I got out of it. My friend: Anne! Keep your pants on! Me: I WILL NOT! (For Michael? Of course not)

[verse 1] I can’t believe you left, you just left me all alone. Everyday I return to this empty place called home. I didn’t believe enough, before you had to go. But now death tells me that I was wrong before. I see you on the TV, and I think of what you sang. You entertained and dedicated, but we just didn’t appreciate it. Now they still hate your name, at least you’re already gone. You had a vision to heal the world, I remember with this song. [chorus] Who sang out their heart. Who saved many lives? You know you’re better than what they say you are. So just rest in peace, with my best wishes in your heart. [verse 2] Everywhere I walked, I saw the news racks there. Your face emblazoned on the cover, your jacket auctioned “rare”. They talked about your leaving, how you overdosed on drugs. Some accused of homicide, while others couldn’t care enough. They cooed over your children, then they complained about your will. Rumors spread and names dropped, the fortune of a billion bills. You’re worth more than money, a human life in itself, is much more important than a diamond on a shelf. They don’t care a human died, all they see is cash. They can’t see your stunning smile, your person and your laugh. [chorus] Who sang out their heart. Who saved many lives? You know you’re better than what they say you are. So just rest in peace, with my best wishes in your heart. [bridge] Then again some day they’ll meet, you in that final place. You’ll show them that they were wrong, with your amazing grace. Your compassion for the repressed, your kindness for the poor. Will tell us that we’re the “weird” ones, for not knowing what you were for. [chorus x2] Who sang out their heart. Who saved many lives? You know you’re better than what they say you are. So just rest in peace, with my best wishes in your heart.
