Start The Movement For MJ!

Mostly all of his life, Michael has been in the spotlight. We all know, even Michael knew, the consequences for being there. There are moments that made you shine because they noticed the good things you have done and then there are the snakes constantly biting at your ankles trying to bring you down. They do this with the power of money. They lose all kinds of respect and morals when money is involved.

Michael has faced all kinds of disrespect in his lifetime. From the lies and accusations to them calling him "Jacko." Til this day they still continue to call him that but this trial has opened new doors to the media to feed on. Just to get their ratings and popularity up, TMZ and other media sources have been releasing images of Michael after his death while in the hospital. These particular photos were used in the trial as evidence but they were so drastic they caused some of family members, including his mother, to leave the room. The media should not even be able to get their hands on them. There are even people trying to torture his children with them. Respect has gone out the window. We all know that TMZ can ruin people's life, but come on! TMZ has been exploiting Michael's death since day 1. They were saying he was dead before it was even confirmed. Then they post the hospital photo of him dead and now his autopsy photo! I'm fed up! Enough is enough!

All of us MJ family most continue to stick togther. We are strength in numbers and unstoppable. We can make a change. We may not be able to stop them all but someone needs to be made an example. JOIN THE MJ FIGHT! FIGHT FOR HIS RESPECT AND PRIVACY!

5.9 Earthquake Hits Virginia, Rocks East Coast

Photobucket


Tuesday here in New Jersey seemed like a normal day until about 1:51 PM. I was at work sitting at my computer and I began to feel a slight sway. I thought maybe it was something I ate or that I was feeling dizzy. I was looking around and I didn't notice my co-worker or the customer react, so I thought it was me. I asked her did she feel the shake and she said she didn't. Then I looked over and saw my keychains on my magnet strip shaking. So I knew it was something other than me feeling weird. Then it was reported on the radio that there was a 5.9 earthquake in Mineral, Virginia near Washington, D.C. We felt the tremor from that. I knew I felt something and that I wasn't losing my mind. My mom and my friend, Moses, even called to check on me. It was felt as far as North Carolina and as far up north as Massachusetts. It was definitely a scary feeling. I can imagine how they felt where it actually occurred. Thank goodness there has been no reported injuries or major damages.

The Royal Wedding: Winning London

Photobucket

Aww the kiss! Aww, how cute is the little girl.


I'm not from London but I know so many people and things I admire from there. It seems like such a great place to be and I wish I was there. Prince William or officially His Royal Highness Prince William Arthur Philip Louis, Duke of Cambridge, Early of Strathearn, Baron Carrickfergus, Royal Knight Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, Master of Arts has married, his love and sweetheart, Catherine Elizabeth Middleton. The ceremony was held at Westminster Abbey, London. I would have loved to have been there being that it was the first royal wedding since 1981 when Prince Charles married the late Lady Diana Spencer. I'm sure so many people in London and around the world were excited. I would like to extend my congratulations to them and wish them a long prosperous and blessed marriage. God Bless!

Making the News Nationally!

I wanna thank Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker for his heroic work on Monday after the 2010 Holiday Blizzard pushing cars out the snow and helping streets get plowed. Just by recording him and taking photos, they aired on ABC 7 Good Morning America, Fox 5 News and The Weather Channel. I'm so excited for this honor and I would love to thank my honorable Mayor Cory Booker for working as hard as he did.

My Photo and Video Featured on NY Daily News Website

What turned out to be a random moment turned out to be a quite cool one. I tweeted a photo and video to my mayor, Newark, NJ Mayor Cory Booker last night to wake up to various positive feedback from tweets all over. The City of Newark and the Mayor Cory Booker loved my work. I didn't think it would get around like and to the attention of the NY Daily News. They requested my permission to use and credit my photo and video clip of Mayor Cory Booker helping local residents get through and out of the unplowed streets of Newark with man-power. I was quite honored that they would want to use my photograph and video.
Mayor Cory Booker's response was:CoryBooker Wow! That's kind of awesome.

Wow what a snow day for me?! :-)

Tiger Woods Shirtless?! And Your Point Is...

Wow, who would have thought a golfer would have a body life that? I could tell because how his shirt fits him and how his arms stand out. The recent photo shoot for Vanity Fair magazine shot by well-known portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz (she's great!), features Tiger Woods shirtless on the cover stating the photos are the never-before seen side of Tiger; They include various shots of Woods shirtless and baring his muscles. The cover photo shows his expression as serious and makes him appear like he's a tough guy. Like he has some kind of an attitude. Of course these photos of Woods were criticized like other shots taken by Leibovitz, especially since the scandal. People are saying that he seems self indulged and into himself. The man is just posing for photos, why do people always have something negative to say? He's just another athlete posing shirtless. It's is weird seeing him like this but it was bond to happen someday. As for the marital issues, I hope that he can work it out and learn from this mistake. Then return back to golf.


Tiger Woods always had a serious look on his face game day anyway.

Tiger Upper Cut from Me

I'm not trying to take sides on the issue but I'm tired of hearing about the issue. Not just his case but all of these celebrities and their personal affairs being aired out like dirty laundry. These people are human beings and they had private lives. Their private lives need to just stay within their homes. I'm just so tired of when something negative happens to someone, their faces are all over the news and newspapers. No matter if it's CNN or ESPN, Tiger Woods dominated the channel today. From a woman's point of view, I do feel bad for his wife. As a husband and a father, he should not have done what he did because when you marry someone your committment is to your wife. Plus they have a child. But that is a personal issue for her and Tiger to work out. They are going through a tough time right now and people just keep digging into it. A question that really gets to me is if he didn't crash his truck in front of his own house would all of this have come out? Would all those women would have come forward? My main question is can America focus on something else please? All this hoop-laa is driving me crazy.

Janet Jackson opened up to Robin Roberts about Michael

When Michael Jackson first died, my reaction was wondering how Janet was taking it. Then seeing her at the memorial service when Paris Katherine grabbed hold of her after her brief touching words, I knew she was trying to be strong for the family. It is a very tough time for her and the family. I was so proud of her when she was able to do an excellent and memorable performance opening at the MTV Video Music Awards. It touched my heart so much that I cried. I was also happy to see Janet Jackson open up for the first time since her brother's sudden death. I wanted to know how she was handling the situation, but I know it was devastating. Last month I did get the chance to hear LaToya's side. They were very close siblings. She mentioned how close they were and how he was an inspiration to her. She still finds it hard to go see the rockdoc film of Michael Jackson's final rehearsal days, This Is It, because it still makes her heart heavy. It is even hard for her to see the previews and posters advertising the film. I feel her pain because when I lost my father to congestive heart failure it is still hard to go to the church he preached in every Sunday. Just the memories that come into mind, no matter how long ago it was for me, will still bring tears to my eyes. The interview showed a side of Janet we haven't seen. She mentioned how she felt Michael's doctor, Dr. C Murray, was guilty for his death and how she did try to reach out to Michael before as intervention. Yet Michael shied away from the public and his family. This really has an affect on how she feels today. But Janet has always been known to be on Michael's side through his times of criticism, judgement and accusations.

I do pray that Janet will stay strong and always keep Michael in her heart until they meet again.

May God be with her and her family through this tough time. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Jackson family.

Here's a bit of their memories and photos of Janet

Michael Jackson - My Heart Poured Out

Ever since Michael Jackson passed away, you see a lot of people expressing their love for the late King of Pop. Which people were really there, which people are the ones who cared about his downs as well as his ups or are they the ones who loves him all of a sudden? As I was growing up, I was exposed to the Jackson family and their excellent music, whether it was Michael Jackson, Janet, the Jackson 5, etc. I just couldn't wait to see what new ideas they would come up with especially Michael. He was such an inspiring person, not only musically but he was also a great humanitarian. He loved nature, he loved helping people and he loved to see happiness throughout. This is why I always loved Michael.
There was a point in my life where I did, but not intentionally, forget about him. There was a time where I took him for granted. I also thought he was invincible. I thought he would be here forever. I thought he was alright. I thought he would always grace us with his presence. So you tend to put people like that on he back burner for a while cause you know it's going to be okay. He was hurt. He was lonely. He was a human being crying out for help and we all thought he was crying wolf. He's been through so much, from accusations to criticism, but he was invincible to us. Maybe it's because he always smiled or put on a hell of a show. Maybe it's because we never saw him cry. Well I'm am typing this with tears in my eyes because this gentle soul has slipped through our fingers. But I always loved him but I do feel bad about placing him on the top shelf of reach.
This situation was a wake up call to me in many ways. It lets me know not to take anything for granted. Not to take for granted your family, your job, your education, your health, the good times and especially yourself because tomorrow is not promised to any of us.

My heart, thought and prayers go to the Jackson family and rest in peace to the King of Pop.
To my family and friends, I love you!!
