The Last Post

Hello to the readers of this blog. I never got around making a final post on this site because of a few reasons. However, after checking out some things about what readers are checking out on the blog, I decided to make this post. I have stopped making entries to this blog in 2017 because of school. I have since graduated and decided to do something else. The blog will never be deleted because it is important to have something like this online. I enjoyed doing the blog but I did not feel like doing any more blog posts. I was kind of losing interest in doing the blog.

Last year, I wanted to start my Youtube project but Leaving Neverland happened and it changed everything. I did eventually do the Youtube video but I realized that it was too much work and it did not turn out the way that I wanted it to turn out. I was advised to do a podcast and that is what I did. It is a lot of work doing a podcast but I really like doing the podcast. 

I want to thank every last one you who read this blog and continue to read this blog. I did this blog to not only state the facts and the truth but to document what happened after Michael was killed in 2009. I hope you all learned something from this blog. 

The podcast is called Michael Jackson and the Truth Podcast. You can listen to the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast.

The Past and the Future Part 4

It is the end of the year and it is time to review the year that was 2015 in the MJ world. In this entry, I will spotlight the blogs and articles that were the best of the year. The sudden news of the ATV/Sony Music Catalogue being sold or being bought on the 30th anniversary of the purchase. I will explore the history of Michael's purchase and the video of comedian and activist Dick Gregory explaining the power of the catalogue that went viral. This year, the Jacksons did a reality show and it was the talk of the fan community. I will get into a subject that was mentioned on the show that shows that people will do anything for fame. I made a mistake doing a blog post that in hindsight was not suppose to be on this blog. I will explain why I feel that way and what I have decided to do with the entry. Michael's children are fighting back using social media and they don't care. I will tell you what I think. The upcoming events and milestones that will happen in 2016 and one was revealed this month that got me excited. Finally, the future of this blog has been bugging me for some time and I will finally get into what I am going to do with the blog.  I hope you enjoy this post as much as I did making it.

Random Thoughts Part 14

This is the 14th edition of Random Thoughts and in this edition, the 20th anniversary of History: Past, Present and Future Book 1 will be discussed. I will discuss the Jacksons, education and why I feel that a certain person should take a break from the Jacksons.  Of course, I couldn't discussed this entry at this time of the year if I did not mention the MJ B-Day celebrations that happened to celebrate what would have been his 57th. I will talk about Donald Trump's comparison to Michael, 3T's reality show and Hayvenhurst being a tourist attraction/museum, supposedly. Finally, I will dedicate this blog to various people. Enjoy reading this entry.

Random Thoughts Part 12

This is the 12th edition of my Random Thoughts series for the blog. In this edition, I will discuss my opinions on the sale of Michael's iconic home, Jermaine's interview with Oprah and the reality show that stars his other family members. I will discuss my communication with the Estate of Michael Jackson representative and why I decided to communicate with the person. Finally, even though I was not able to do my tribute to Michael on what would have been his 56th birthday, plenty of people were able to and I will give a rundown on the ones I felt needed to be mentioned. Finally, I will be dedicating this blog post to a few people who are no longer with us. I hope you enjoy this edition.

Random Thoughts Part 11

I think we all can agree that we want to make sure that Michael's legacy is being preserved the correct way so that people can truly understand why Michael was and will always be a legend. Part of his legacy is his music and his music is the main reason why he has such a huge fanbase. Michael's music is sacred to millions of people and when big corporations, whose only goal is to make money, crapped on the music, the fans have to state and do something. Fans have done that but it seems what they have done and stated has more to do with wanting the music instead of accepting the truth. Katherine is Michael's beloved mother but at times, one have to question what is really going on. I will explain more on this post. Once again, certain people should not be writing books on Michael if they are not willing to accept who he really was and I will tell you why I stated that. Michael's children are showing the world that his legacy of giving back will never go unnoticed and his nephews continue to do right by him. I will also talk about why I feel that Bela Farkas is proof that Michael was truly a hero.
