What the hell? Why are my entries all so sad lately? Who wants that?
OMG, I'm in tears. I remember the first time I saw Michael, there was an MTV special on him when I was 11 years old that my mother was watching, and I thought he was weird because these assholes at school influenced me to believe so, but after two minutes of seeing his music video "Remember the Time", I found the spark and reason he was who he was. It was instant for me.
I have loved him ever since.
"He paved the way for racial equality long before Oprah, or Tiger Woods, or Barack Obama and he did it without television, politics, or sports, but instead with his music and activism. No amount of controversy can erase that."
I am so tired of people bitching at him. I am so tired of the skin criticism. In the preliminary exams, they discovered he had the skin condition, vitiligo. Vitiligo is a chronic relatively common dermatologic disorder that causes depigmentation in patches of skin. It occurs when the melanocytes, the cells responsible for skin pigmentation, die or are unable to function.
So excuse me, but bite me to everyone who was giving him shit for dying his skin so it would be all one color. Kiss it, and leave him alone.
I am so tired of the judgment. If you have an opinion, fine, but judging people is ridiculous. Even watching these news shows is sad because they're spending half their time judging him and talking about how sexually charged he was.
Um, hello? Michael?
He was a 50 year old 6 year old. He didn't have a sexual bone in his body. Why do you think he needed a donor for his third child? And don't even start with a gay comment, I don't need it.
Anyway, he doesn't need me to defend him. He is at peace now. He has my support, and many others, and I will love and enjoy and miss him always.
Let us remember his music, his talent, and his activism.
And for crying out loud, no more deaths! I wanna write about something else in my LJ.
And to Sarah and Ed too! We love all of you!
