Requiescat In Pace

(I'm listening to Michael Jackson's 7 minute long version of "Will you be there" as I'm writing this)

Some 13 days ago the world lost it's biggest and brightest star, although
I can't really say that he's lost. Millions of people all over the world listens and have listened
to Michael Jackson's music, I'm somewhat sorry for not being around when he and
4 of his brothers broke through and became more and more famous.
(I was born in midst of the year of 1989, but this text is not about me.)
But to continue, I'd say that he's not lost and can never be lost
as long as there is a loving heart still listening to his music, keep watching his videos
and as long as he is in somebody's mind he could never be lost.
Who can help but to be inspired of Michael Jackson?
10 individuals in the same mind and the world would only have smaller problems.
He has shown us a way now it's up to the rest of us to follow up.

"There's nothing that can't be done if we raise our voice as one"

I have mixed feelings about the memorial service that I and millions of other people around
the world watched yesterday (July 7th), but I'm trying, in the spirit of Michael Jackson,
not to think about the negative and focus in the positive.
Although I have to say there weren't that many that looked at "The Promethean"
when they spoke. I often got the feeling of that it was just a speech rather than a eulogy.
And the media can just go away, they are indeed hypocrites and have no respect at all,
some of the people attending (won't mention which ones) also seemed respectless.
Why couldn't the people around Michael say those things when he was alive?
50, 20 maybe even 10% of the support on the memorial should've been there
when Michael was alive and needed it, now some act sorry,
that's what it seems like in some cases anyway.

I think it's hard for my brain to process that he has died, when I saw videos of Michael, if I may, performing live on stage in the 90's I could not help but to think of
him being not only a truly amazing artist & musician
he was also an extraordinary humanbeing and an illusionist.

I don't know if got the feeling of or that I hoped and wished for that he wasn't dead and would magically appear somewhere on stage,
that struck me a couple of times during the memorial service.

I'm truthfully and really sorry that I will never get the chance to get to know him as the person, or the other persona as it were,
I mean the individual he was off-stage,
which was a part of what Berry Gordy was talking about in his eulogy.

I'd like to dedicate this to Michael Jackson and his children; Prince, Paris and "Blanket".

"Behind every man now alive stand thirty ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living. Since the dawn of time, roughly a hundred billion human beings have walked the planet Earth.Now this is an interesting number, for by a curious coincidence there are approximately a hundred billion stars in our local universe, the Milky Way. So for every man who has ever lived, in this universe, there shines a star."


Truly the greatest entertainer.
