Sorry about this, but please just give security your I.D. – we don’t want no trouble.

Okay now that you’re in, Look our Bar Room. :silly: :cheerful: Annie Decorated it and I think she’s done a FABULOUS job!!!!! Thanks Annie!!!!
After, if you are still walking, talking and coherent you might want to stop by our gift shop!!!!
N O W S E R V I N G :
Hey there handsome, excuse me for a minute I’ll be right with ya’ 
MENU LIST:
N E W ON THE M E N U!:

DDD, also served by the bottle

Dirty Dirty Dirty Diana
INTRODUCING The dirty, Dirty, DIRTY DIANA: Some of you addicts have been pretending. And it’s really not necessary. When you come into the bar, have a seat. Your drink has already been prepared. We’ll even serve you the bottle. After all, it’s got your name on it. :yes: :alien:
Warning: Do NOT Mix this drink with Bad Boy Shots. We’ve heard some stories, let me tell ya!

Bad Boy Shot
THE BAD BOY SHOT: Let’s face it, you’re not a good girl and you’ve never been one. You need something strong in ya and this big, black bottle IS IT. One shot is usually enough though we at CCC already know that’s not all you want. Pure Testosterone, raw masculinity infused with some BAD a$$ attitude – all you need to do is open up, throw this one back and wait for it.
:pouty: :sick: Warning (Drink Responsibly)

MJ

- MJ, Too
MJ: We’ve taken this infusion of all natural MJ bodily extracts and perfectly blended it into this refreshingly, naturally sweet and tangy citrus beverage we all ooooooof course, MJ. And we swear, it taste just like JUICE! We can’t really explain what it will do to you — experience it for yourself. You’ll understand after your very first swallow. :whistle:
A Wet Sabah: Creamy Sabah w/ just a hint of Michael in her.
In honor of our favorite couple’s special night we at CCC have created two special drinks:
CHASTITY and UNLEASHED

Ms. CHASTITY
MS. CHASTITY: Coy and uninhibited, sweet and sincere. Remember when you were without fear, honest and whole — do you want to feel like that little girl again; do you want to experience, if only for a moment, the blissfulness of youth? Enjoy, Saniia’s Ms. CHASTITY. Experience the quality that captured Michael’s heart. INNOCENCE IS INTOXICATING.
UNLEASHED: Years of discipline, control and abstinence can only result in one thing: UNLEASHED. We were there. We captured it. We bottled it. Taste the flavor of unbridled passion.

Liquid CobraCrack ™
LIQUID COBRACRACK™ There hasn’t been a chapter uploaded for days! Your internet connection is on the blitz and you can’t find your IPod. Your family and friends have completely disassociated themselves from you because you’ve become a walking zombie. Not one of them understands why you’ve been staring at the blank screen of your computer for days now. But if you don’t get some Michael in you and in you quick, you will just explode!
Due to the number of addicts jonesing outside of CCC we rolled up our sleeves and created this TEMPORARY infusion of Michael in the form of Liquid CobraCrack ™. Stock up now while supplies last. Keep some in the back of your fridge, in the garage, under your desk at work and in your nightstand. Never be without Michael again!!! But Be Warned: Liquid CobraCrack ™ is equally as addictive as the real thing and there is a high likelihood of developing a tolerance very quickly. :sad: You really just can’t replace the real thing!!!!

The cool, refreshing boyish joy of Michael in your glass.
MINTY MIKE: Inspired by Sonia: We were just goofing off, experimenting when we took Michael’s cool smile, his refreshingly sincere good nature, his boyish charm and added just a dash of delight and to our surprise, POOF!!! A Minty Mike appeared! One sip and we couldn’t stop laughing!!! Almost scientifically identical to the chemical compound of JOY, this drink will chase away any and all of your blues and put a peppermint — permanent smile on your face. Enjoy!

Creamy Sabah
CREAMY SABAH: Creamy Chocolate Mike w/ just a hint of Sabah. We searched high and low for a non-x-rated picture that we could put up and this is what we came up with — WHEWWWW!!!!

Pure
Prince Michael’s PURE – Cool, Sweet and light as mist, this magical drink refreshingly satisfies your craving for Prince Michael without the calories or the alcohol. Passion distilled to its purest form, PURE WILL cure your thirst . . . but alas not your desire. Feel free to drink it all day and all night but be warned, Prince Michael always leaves you wanting more.

:wub: L.O.V.E.:When it comes to shots, we don’t offer anything that is more electrifying. We are serving the pure essence of Michael. It IS all that he had ever stood for and nothing more. People who met him basked in its warmth. It was in his words, his actions, his demeanor, his behavior and most of all, his smile. He simply exuded it from his pores. He gave and never asked for anything in return and now we offer the same to you.
If you’re feeling down and you need a pick me up; if you have been hit with a dose of negativity and need something to chase it away, we present to you something that will fill you with only the most natural of highs. It is ten times stronger than any of our other drinks and lasts twice as long: L.O.V.E. Have a shot today and experience the love of Michael Jackson. ***If you experience an immediate sense of peace, joy and contentment, don’t be alarmed that’s the magic of Michael in your system.

Chocolate Covered Mike
CHOCOLATE COVERED MIKE: For those of us with a sweet tooth introducing, Chocolate covered Mike. It’s decadently sweet, addictive, satisfying and unbelievably good for you. It’s just too perfect, OMG!!!!

SANGRE: Other establishments serve Sangria. We serve Sangre. Simply put, this sensually, seductive mixture of perfectly blended fruit, aged wine and just a tinsy weensy drop of Michael’s blood will invade your system and change your personality FOREVER. Undercover cameras captured the woman in the picture above seconds after she took one sip – we are not even sure she had a chance to swallow. Michael NEVER knew what hit him but I hear he was smiling for days afterward. Try it – if you’re woman enough. :devil:
THE FORCE: This drink is served with a resuscitation kit. I don’t’ think I need to say more!

The Prince Royale
THE PRINCE ROYALE: You’re a lady, and you know truthfully that is the only kind of woman who can capture Michael’s heart. You only drink to relax, not to get drunk like some of the lesser women who frequent Da Smooth Criminal. You’re not interested in cheap sex, you want a life time commitment from the object of your affection. Your drink will be served in our finest crystal, the ones etched in gold, on a silver platter in the VIP section of the bar. The smooth and fruity undertones of this vintage wine will peel away the layers of your resistance until you are as free from your inhibitions as any Creamy Mike lover. The only difference is you’ve done it with style. The price of this drink only reflects your superior self-worth. Go ahead splurge. You’re worth it! And Michael will definitely take notice. He enjoys the finer things in life and so do you.

Thug Passion
THUG PASSION: Okay it’s no Michael but you’re strapped for cash. The flavor doesn’t last as long but it’s just a ‘lil something to keep you going until you can get a REAL drink. A favorite of our financially challenged customers. What you see is what you get and damn, come on girls, you have to admit, it looks good as hell.
THE MABHA: A smooth and tangy combination of Sabah and Michael with a twist and zesty kick at the end. Don’t nurse it, ’cause it get’s flat. Drink it while it still has that sizzle!
THE GENTLEMAN WILL stay in you all night and will also be the first thing you feel when you wake up in the morning. Now let’s be clear: It’s not a hangover. It’s better than a hangover. It’s a HANG ON I’M CUMIN’.

Cool, milky, deceptively sweet.
THE MIKEGASM: Hands down, our most popular drink! Cool, Milky and deceptively sweet, you won’t see where the bang is coming from but IT WILL hit ya!!!!! What’s worst, you’ll keep ordering it anyway. We can’t explain why it explodes in your mouth, we just know we like it!!!! Make sure you have a designated driver if you start throwing back this one. We’re not going to take responsibility and you WON’T have just one.
MR. M: This is our signature beer. We brew it on the premises but if you’re watching yourself, you can get our light version instead.
MRS. M: The light version of our homemade brew, for our responsible drinkers who also want to make it home in one piece.

Holoma's Soup
HOLOMA’S SOUP: This deceptively potent drink has babies popping up all over the place and since Michael loves da kids, we just can’t take it off the menu. It’s spicy and fruity and served with a strangely cool mist circling up top. Don’t mind the woman in the back hovering over the cauldron. She mixes a big batch of it every morning and though we’ve never asked for a specific list of ingredients, she says that it’s all natural and we trust her!!!

Creamy Mike

Creamy Mike w/ Extra Creme
CREAMY MIKE: (Inspired by Annie) Pure milk chocolate, lightened to perfection with thick, heavy cream and a blend of exotic liqueurs, the taste of this drink will linger in your mouth for hours. You’ll find yourself constantly licking your lips and thinking about it even after you’ve cleaned the last drop out of the glass with your finger. So delicious we naturally prepare two when it’s ordered because everyone gulps them down so quickly. BE WARNED: This drink WILL give you a particularly wicked alcoholic sugar rush. A number of women find it very difficult to keep their legs closed even after one small sip.

The Foreplay
THE FOREPLAY: (Inspired by Martinigirl) Trust me. Looks CAN be deceiving. This seemingly happy go lucky drink will put you flat on your back and keep you there. No matter what you’ve heard YOU ARE NOT READY for this drink. The tangy taste of pineapples smothered in Amaretto and Southern Comfort will knock you right off your feet – literally. Once on your back, you WILL stay there for days . . . and nights. I took this off the menu because I lost a couplah return customers. It’s served with a life size cut out of the Michael pic above. A bunch of people ordered, left and were never seen again.

Golden Boy
THE GOLDEN BOY: (Inspired by Enola) From the moment this Martini came into existence we knew it was special. Inexplicably sliding down your throat like icy cold molten lava, we struggled to formulate an adequate description. Fearing, because the drink was so powerful, that we would face multiple law suits if we put this volatile concoction on our menu we decided in the end it would only be safe to offer ONE drink PER PERSON per LIFE TIME. Ladies, ladies, before you protest, please try and understand: The Martini . . . shakes/stirs itself! (Cue dramatic music) ( O-O )
THE THRILLER — (Inspired by MJQuan) It sizzles, it pops, it dances in your mouth and then it gets down in you and makes you wanna dance, too. One sip, and your hand is up in the air, you’re pursing your lips and saying, “Oooooo”!!! This is our most popular non-alcoholic drink. You can take it all day and never get tired. Enjoy!

"So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee." W. Shakespeare
This man was so damn fine! I pray I find someone that looks like that!
Hey Janice, there’s only going to be one!!!!! :wub:
mmmorning addicts
line me a row of bad boys… I am feeling a little naughty myself.
*gulp*
oh hell ya…. YUMMMMMMM!
Bad never felt GOOD!
I wanted to share with you guys part of my trip to Cali – with my day trip to Neverland with a recount of the visit and a few pictures…
http://badtourgirl.com/michael-musings/my-neverland-visit/
*gulp*
hmmmmm that burns – oh I feel dizzy
:blink:
brought my lunch today (leftover Chinese…yay) so i can multitask!
So, MartiniGirl is probably still sleeping off all those Bad Boy Mikes, and Enola Lee, Lord help her, she’s probably in a trance from watching HD Mike all weekend! :lol:
Cherry Leigh, best wishes to you on your big move…WOW! how exciting and Collette, I just read on the Tito video page that you just went off to college! Congratulations both of you! I know it’s hard at first, i went to college not knowing a soul but i made great friends that became my family and i met my hubby there, just be open and be yourself, you will find your place, just give it time…it’s an amazing adventure! To be honest I didn’t really get close to my first roommate, she already had friends there but I ended up meeting people through working in the dining hall (hey, it’s a job) and then becoming roommates the next year. We are still close friends 15 years later!
Thank you so much Gracie, I can’t believe that I’m actually feeling homesick at the moment. :cwy:
Everything is new, I don’t know anybody and I have to share my room with another girl and I thought we only had to share the bathroom so it’s still a bit weird to have somebody else here ALL THE TIME! I’m trying to just be myself and be open. And it’s only my second day here so I know I have to be patient with myself. :smile: And who knows, I might meet the man of my dreams here, too! :wink: For now I’m good with Michael on my wall. I was a bit reluctant to hang pictures of him because of my roomate because somehow she didn’t bring ANYTHING personal, no pictures, nothing. And I brought everthing I had in my room in Germany because I thought I would have my own room here, too and wanted to make it look at feel like at home… :blush: :smile:
I’m looking forward to my time here and I think it will be great once the courses have started…
L.O.V.E.
:cwy: oh (((((Cherry)))))…you are making me so emotional! I do remember being homesick, i think i even cried once or twice but at that time in my life, my parents had just broken up a year earlier and my mom had remarried so even at “home” i was feeling homesick for a home that didn’t exist anymore. It was sooo hard but i never considered leaving because i knew i had to make a life for myself and i really had nowhere else to go. My first winter break i went home because i was sick but after that i never went home again for more than a weekend here and there. The girls i met and ended up living with were in the same kind of situation so we really became each others’ family and our horrible little apartment was home. Even today, there is that feeling of “home” when we are together.
It’s okay to feel sad, it’s all part of the process of growing up. So feel sad for a little and then go have an adventure! Good luck with your roommate…it sounds so familiar!!! I am an easy person to get along with but my first roommate and i were very different people, my side of the room was posters, collages, stuffed animals and my messy art major’s desk….hers looked like a prison cell!! but we managed for 2 semesters not to get on each other’s nerves too terribly. Actually, it wasn’t ME that got on her nerves it was my boyfriend (now hubby) because he thought it was funny to push her buttons…he would leave her little drawings on Post-It’s on the walls and stuff like that…just silly but she HATED it! :lol: See, I can laugh now…someday you will look back and laugh too!
and hey, there’s always SOMEONE to talk to at the BAR!! :heart:
No, Enola is NOT in a trance, dear Gracie!
:devil:
Aww Cherry! I would have died to leave home and go to college. My mother absolutely forbid it and at that the time I didn’t have enough guts to secretly enroll and just GO! I wish I would have! I think this is an important time in your life, and like Gracie said, you’ll meet probably the most interesting people and have the most life changing experiences!!!!
You know, even though I hated living at home, when I moved out at 18, I WAS home sick — after all, there was eight of us in the house, my parents, myself and my five siblings so it took some getting used to. Funny, I was always dying to be alone, and then when I was I didn’t like it. That’s how human are, we have to adjust.
Gracie, I love reading your little stories about college!!!! You know, my niece went away and it was kinda embarrassing for her, but her roommates side of the room was pristine, while my niece’s side — wow, it looked like a Bomb hit it! She is not the neatest girl in the world — well I think she kinda suffered for it, that and being so sheltered, I think going off to college was a shock for her and she really couldn’t handle it.
She had a scholarship and lost it and ended up flunking out. Now, a couple of years later, I know she regrets her decision because my other nieces are graduating and my cousin is done and they all went off to college at the same time.
Time flies, huh?
Your boyfriend sounds like a hoot!!!!! Ooops, I mean husband! :lol: You know I love coming of age movies about that time in your life. Guess cause I missed out on it.
Cherry, Gracie . . .. shamone Enola!!!!
Cherry, You’ll be fine. When do your classes start?
Awww, look at the little hugging smileys!!!
I love them, Sabine!
Okay, it almost time to go to bed over here, so I think I’m going to grab a Golden Boy to knock me up… err…out!
:blush:
MAMA! hi, hi…
Girls I am so outta the loop I gotta get caught up!
I never have time to hang out and sleep in da bar anymore…
geeeeeez that is not good – work is interfering with my crack’
:blink:
Ach, Mgirl, you’re not missing out on too much, I’m still singing the blues.
Enola, to get knocked up you need Holoma’s soup!!!
I’m in the same boat as you cherry, we’ll get through it, so you don’t have your own private room, you have to share it? wow that must be awkward but it won’t be forever so make the best of your time there :smile:
This video had be cracking up, it’s sure to take your mind off you homesickness
It’d about Eddie Murphy and Quincy Jones and how they had crushes on Michael LMFAO :w00t: :lol: :wassat:
Hi Collette! Don’t be rude, girl, don’t you see other people posting here? :tongue:
That’s a cute video. Funny, but we westerners always sexualize any affection between men. I think its kinda sweet that they loved him so much, as much as we did. :wub:
yo Yo YO Girls..
sorry to hear you are home sick…
I say throw on a little Mystikal.. and get busy!
show’em what yer working with!
Aoooooooow – gimme another bad boy

*gulp*

*thud*
How was I being rude? :wassat: :lol:
Goodmorning ladies,
Just came by for a quick drink before I have to go to work.
It’s pouring down outside and I don’t really feel like going anywhere…so a good shot of L.O.V.E. is just the thing I need to get through the day…
*gulps down a shot of L.O.V.E.*
See you later – gotta run!
Morning Enola, it rained here too, but that was yesterday Have a wonderful day. Hopefully by the time you see this, it will be half over :smile:
OYE..
did I pass out? Did I hear Enola’s heels clickety clack in here…
I think I may be hung over and drunk on the LOVE from the BBM
Well I am a trooper… and think I need a hair of the dog that bite me..
hehe bad boy before work is da best.
happy day everyone
Another sleepless night :alien:
Why do I do this to myself! Hey Mgirl, I need something strong! To KNOCK me out!!!!
Oh, I know Le Force!
Another horrible day at work :alien:
All the budget cuts are killing me. I wonder if anything will be left when we are done cutting back on everything…
I need a shot of L.O.V.E. and a Gentleman…
sounds like they are having a fire sale…
Not good eh honey..
I will join you for a shot of L.O.V.E. – I am stressed to the max myself…
OYE
sometime.. (smile) I just wanna curl up in a ball and stay there all day with my puppies.
A fire sale… Yeah, it sure feels like it. LOL!
The problem is just that I work for the local government. There is nothing to sell apart from a few public buildings – including the Town Hall where I work – and since we obviously still need those buildings, we cut back on service and number of employees instead.
For a creative little soul like me it’s so exhausting to focus on nothing but economic problems all the time…
I HATE numbers.
I say let’s get drunk….
I work with numbers all day… and usuallly i like’em
but I say we still get drunk
look out Bad Boy… Ima going in!
yeah…

let’s get drunk like this!
hahahahaha..
:blink:
Oh, Lord! :wassat:
Boy, I would hate to be him in the morning! :pouty:
:happy:
I love how he manages not to drop his beer…
I can’t stop laughing
It’s like that drug sleep, when the lean over as far as they can go, but amazingly don’t fall. :getlost:
Something in him is saying, I NEED that beer!
so am I still rude Sabine?? lol I’m still not sure what you meant, but that video just cracks me up, there were/are definitely straight guys that think MJ is attractive and stare at him :lol: He’s just too sexy!!!!!!!!! Everyone wanted a piece!
Hi Colette :smile:
How are you? I hope you’re adjusting well to school and feeling more comfortable and less homesick.
Yes, Michael was a cutey pie, everyone could see it :wub:
I’m doing better, I have alot to keep me busy lol, so that keeps my mind off of home and my family, it feels like I’ve been here forever, I can’t wait for Christams then I’m halfway done yaaa :tongue:
Girl, time flies Christmas will be here before you know it!!!
4,285 comments!!! :w00t: I think I might have to open that second room. Good morning all. The sun is shining on my part of the world and all is well. Hope all my addicts are having a blessed and peaceful day. And if it’s exciting, I hope it is in a good way :heart:
Hellllooooo!!!! Why is everyone so quiet, lol! :tongue:
well boss I am just waking up for getting my drunk on so…
but you know you can always find me under some table!
Hmmm I might be ready for a drink – I mean it is afternoon now!
Helloooooooo in there! (can anyone guess what “movie” that line is from? lol
I’ve been soooooo busy! I’ve missed this place. It feels like forever. But a mini vaca in between 2 travel work weeks and I am dog tired!
However there was a MJ tribute night (how cool is that) on the cruise ship I was on.
I have a cold now though, and I’ve been sniffling and sneezing for TWO DAYS!
And did i see a little teaser in my email talking about new supply?? I’ve been going back to read CM here and there whenever I need a quick fix. But like Biggie said ‘neva get high on your own supply’ …. I need yooooouuuurs Sabine!
Let me stop being silly. This cold’s got me loopy. My ears and nose are stopped up!
:silly:
LOL, there you guys go!!! Okay I’m laughing at the reply I got from a certain site which reposted one of my stories:
“We cannot stress this point enough, we have every confidence in the fact that we are well within our rights to publish whichever version of the story we see fit as you are not the original author”
I mean I cannot begin to describe the outrageous sense of entitlement here, let’s not even address the we have every confidence — lots of people have confidence and they are dead wrong.
But why why WHY would you want to repost someone’s stuff when they dont’ want you to? What makes you want to? Why is it so important that you use them?
Why can’t you create your own stuff?
I swear, I will never understand human beings. I mean to me in that one sentence, what I read is this:
We don’t really have respect for anyone’s creative work, and although we say we love Michael, we really don’t adhere to any of the principles he stood for.
We are ready, willing and very confident that we can use anyone we want, and we also believe we are well within our rights to do so.
We don’t care how hard anyone has worked on what they created, nor do we have any respect for real talent.
We don’t have any talent, so we really need YOUR talent and guess what we’re gonna TAKE it, and you can’t do nothing about it, nah, nah, nah, naaaaaa naaaa.
I mean that’s what I read. But guess what, they’ve agreed to take it down out of L.O.V.E.
:ermm:
____________________________
Is that Ms. Ladake I spy there, girrrrrl missing in action!!!!! So you have a cold, poor thing.
Now I hear cruises are a good way to find a husband! My sister married a time share guy she met on one like four months after she met him :wassat:
:silly:
Is that what you’ve been doing??????
Mgirl, are you still sleeping off your hangover or are you ready to start on another one?
yeHA! Lets drink boss!
lol Lots and lots of cuties, but did I meet my husband… ah no.
They did tell us about (but wouldn’t let us see) the $25,000 a night room in Atlantis that MJ stayed in.
I had a lot of fun though!
Lots of cuties, fuh real? I’m so picky — I might see one or two that catch my eye!!!!!
$25K, ahhhh, that’s peanuts :smile:
Mgirl, you pour and I’m drinking. Guess what I’m toasting to?
I saw about 10!
Ugh! I can’t breaeeeve mama!!!!
I need something to clear up my sinuses, sumthin strong!
Do you have some Vicks? Girl rub that on your chest and put it right under your nose!!!
I may have to go get some. I just wanna stay in bed!
The bad thing is I’m not at home this week and I hate being away when I’m not feeling my best.
And you’re toasting???? Huh HUH … is it to new cracky goodness????
Aww Sabine, honey, I had no idea (regarding the message!)
Okay,though. Understood!
Meanwhile, I didn’t even know we could get messages on here.
Oh, don’t worry about it Ladake, girl don’t you get the newsletter or are you one of the few????? :ermm:
UGH… I had the worst night tonight. I posted this blog on another Michael forum that I post on so I’ll just repost it here:
I recently went on a trip to Los Angeles for Michael’s birthday and I posted a blog about it which you can read here:
http://frodes99.blogspot.com/
This is my own personal blog where I can be myself. It says so in the description. So I really let all my emotions out about the whole weekend and I was so happy with how the blog turned out. It took me almost six hours to put it all together. When I finish a blog entry I post the link on my facebook and then also send out an email so that friends and family can read it and catch up on what I’m doing.
A few days after I posted it, my mother called me and we had our regular conversation about what was going on this week and blah blah blah. Then out of nowhere she says “I read your blog. It was really good but a bit over the top.” Now, in my mind I was like “What the fuck is that supposed to mean???” but since it’s my mother I said “What do you mean it was over the top???” to which she replied “It was just all like ‘Oh, I really love Michael Jackson'”. I said “But I really DO love Michael Jackson.” And then she said something along the lines of “whatever” and I left it at that.
Fast forward to today and she calls me again and it’s the same pattern. But this time she mentions what another family member said when they went to my cousin’s wedding this last Sunday (which I couldn’t go to cause I couldn’t take the time off to fly up there). Apparently my cousin-in-law said something along the lines of “I had no idea how much Sara loved Michael Jackson. Wow.” And my mother told me that she said it in a tone that sounded like “Sara is crazy.” Unfortunately, for me, I really care about what people say about me and I know that I shouldn’t. But I wouldn’t let the topic go and my mother ended up saying “Well, he wasn’t the best person and I think you can have better role models.” After that I got really short with her and I handed the phone over to my roommate who is really close with my family and he started to talk to her while I went out into the kitchen and started to cry.
I didn’t know what he was talking to her about but it lasted about 3 minutes and then he called me over and asked why I was so upset.
As best as I could, I tried to explain to him that it isn’t necessarily about Michael, it’s about the fact that my family doesn’t understand me and “passion”. I have a really big family and I am the only one in my family that gets into the things the way that I do. I get EXTREMELY passionate about what I like and I let it show. And I think that my family takes that passion and confuses it with obsession. What is wrong with passion??? What is so wrong with expressing yourself and letting the world know what makes you happy??? Why should we have to contain those things that make us happy and never talk about it??? Why is it “over the top” because I am passionate about it???
Now, I am typing this blog out while I am thinking about it so I’m having all these thoughts pop up in my head. I know I said above that it isn’t necessarily about Michael but when I think about my other passions that I’ve had, my family more than likely shook their heads at it and perhaps laughed it off but they have never gotten the kinds of comments that my Michael passion has had. When I spent 1000 dollars to see Paul McCartney in concert three times, of course, at first, they were like OMG you’re crazy but then they wanted to know all about it after the show. When I went to conventions and red carpet premiers to meet and see cast and crew from the Lord of the Rings films, they wanted to hear all about it. When I said I wanted to go to film school because Lord of the Rings changed my life, they said that would be really cool for me to do. When I said I wanted to travel around New Zealand because Lord of the Rings was made there and I wanted to see everything, they were jealous and wanted to come with me.
The level that these other two passions have had in my life are along the same level as my passion for Michael. No more, no less. Yet why do they feel the need to say that this one is “over the top”???
The obvious answer is the fact that a lot of my family don’t like Michael. Which I already know. But I do have a couple of aunts who are on my side and that does put a smile on my face. But why these comments??? Are they really necessary??? Why didn’t you say anything about my other passions??? Since they are on the same level, they as well should be “over the top” right??? WRONG.
Having a passion for something is the most wonderful thing in the world!!! Why should we, as human beings, deny the things that make us happy??? And why should we be judged for it??? And why don’t more of us show it???
My roommate then told me the short conversation that he had with my mother after I handed the phone over to him. Actually, I threw the phone at him but that’s beside the point. He asked my mother what she said to make me angry and she told him how our conversation went. He then told my mother “Sara just really likes him and he makes her happy” to which she said “Well I think she can have better role models” and he said “First of all Sara doesn’t model her life after him and second of all do you know about all his charity work??? Do you know that he’s in the Guiness Book of World Records for donating the most to charities???” to which she said “Well, I don’t know a lot about that stuff” and that’s pretty much where the conversation ended.
And that’s pretty much my point right there. You say I can have a better “role model” yet you don’t realize what a great example of a role model that Michael is. Now, I want to say right now, I don’t worship Michael and he is not an idol to me. In a sense, I do TRY to model myself after him in the way that I try and be a more friendlier, nonjudgmental person. Which is a GOOD thing. And if I learned that from Michael, what is so wrong with that??? I just don’t understand it.
Now, by this point I was really crying because yes, my feelings were hurt. I have had to deal with this a lot my whole life again because of how passionate I get about things. It gets mistaken for obsession. And then put Michael into the mix and with all the negative press on him I get the misunderstanding and the hurtful comments. My roommate was so great, though. He was like “Look your mother or whatever other family members don’t like him or understand him but he makes you happy and you shouldn’t let it bother you.” Which is so true and I totally agree with but the thing with me is that I have such a sensitive soul and this is where I feel I can relate to Michael. Should Michael have cared what the press said about him??? No, he didn’t need to but he had a sensitive soul and he had to deal with it for most of his life. In the public eye. To which, I think, if I were as famous as him I wouldn’t have been able to handle it either. If it’s not true you shouldn’t worry about it but comments like that still hurt.
When I get upset like that I try to not take it too hard cause at the end of the day, it’s true. It doesn’t matter but it’s so hard sometimes. And that’s when I really start to feel for Michael.
And after all of this you know what I realize??? It all comes down to the media and what they did to Michael. If they weren’t so awful to him, I would not have gotten that comment from my own mother. The media fucked over Michael and they fucked over the fans. It is NOT easy to be a Michael Jackson fan. And it’s because of them.
I also want to say that I KNOW I am not the only person to feel this way or to have an experience like this. But for me, right now, this goes deeper than just being a Michael Jackson fan. Being passionate about something does not make me crazy and it doesn’t make me obsessed. My passions do not control my life and my life does not revolve around my passions. These things make me happy and I like to show people how happy they make me. So because I show it to everyone and don’t keep it inside like everyone else does with THEIR passions, I am considered crazy and obsessed. Why???
People need to show their passions more. I feel that a life can change when you can find something that makes you so happy you want to scream it out loud to the world. If more people were passionate, this world would be a better place.
Awww Frodes!!!!!
Well, I think you have every right to your feelings and you have explained it completely . I totally get where you’re coming from.
THe media poisoned the minds of a lot of people against Michael, and because a lot of people didn’t really look past what they were being spoon fed, they just incorporated the media’s negative portrayal of Michael and that’s where he was stuck.
And i think honey you’re experiencing a little of what he deal with. Because how could it not hurt to be misunderstood and portrayed as other than what you are?
I really don’t like to speak to people who have this view of Michael, because my experience is that they’re usually married to them and don’t really want to give it up, and i don’t like to wrestle with people, but this is your family, and I know you told me that for the most part they are loving and supportive. You’re so articulate, why don’t you just tell your mother exactly what you’ve written here.
Tell her how much it hurts you, because you are so passionate and feels so deeply, to have the things you love dismissed. Tell her that it makes you feel that she feels what you love is not important.
It’s human to feel, and natural to be hurt that someone has dismissed something you loved. I don’t ascribe to the “it shouldn’t matter” mentality — of course it matters!!!
You’d have to be a robot for it not to matter!!!!!
What I think it is, Sara, I think a lot of people are AFRAID of strong emotion so they say things like oh, she just wants attention, or oh, she’s obsessive, or oh my god, she’s going over the top, as if anyone can set the bar for how much another person can feel.
It’s kind of crazy, but what I think it is, is that the feelings scare the other person — it might just remind them of a passion they haven’t acknowleged, or a feeeling that they are repressing, so they try to silence it in others as they do in themselves.
At least that’s how I see it.
Michael suffered from this a lot because he was strong enough to say what he loved, and he didn’t feel the need to hide it or censor it, children, the earth, the world, and people who were afraid of their feelings hated him for it, because it made them look/feel less then.
It wasn’t Michael’s fault. He was just who he was. But these people couldn’t stand in his shadow,they instead kind of cowered.
I’m not saying that’s your Mom, sounds like she just doesn’t know about him, and I would ask her to please look into it, I would asked her, Aren’t you interested to learn more about this man that I love so much – to learn why?
Do you really think I’d just fall for a man for no reason???? For someone who isn’t a good role model? Is that the kind of daughter you think you raised?
I think if you approach her in that light, she’ll be able to look at things very differently
I thought your blog was beautiful and I loved it and I loved that you spend so much time creating it and pouring your love into it. I could really feel your passion girl and I love it!!!!!
Now you know my family and I have a pretty rough relationship. When I start expressing things and they try to get all dismissive on me I tell them, excuse me, these are my feelings; you don’t get to tell me how to feel!!!!
That usually shuts them up, though they all love to say I’m crazy!!!!!
So Frodes, muwahhhhhhhhh, here’s a big hug for you.
I hope you feel a little better getting all of that off your chest.
I love your passion girl! Don’t ever change :smile:
awwwwww man – I wish I had time to respond more aptly.
Right now all I can say is f**k’m – because I have to run.
Sara – I love your passion and openness – otherwise we might not have met.
freaking people with their boundaries and fears – they gotta put a label on everything
stay strong my sweet friend have a bad boy on me… I’ll be back a bit later on
