So I'll let you go, I'll set you free And when you see what you need to see When you find you, Come back to meI personally don't think he'll come back ... which is sad given what they've had. *sigh*
Michael Jackson, the sensationally gifted child star who rose to become the “King of Pop” and the biggest celebrity in the world only to fall from his throne in a freakish series of scandals, died Thursday. He was 50.
Jackson died at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles. Ed Winter, the assistant chief coroner for Los Angeles County, confirmed his office had been notified of the death and would handle the investigation.
The circumstances of Jackson’s death were not immediately clear. Jackson was not breathing when Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics responded to a call at his Los Angeles home about 12:30 p.m., Capt. Steve Ruda told the Los Angeles Times. The paramedics performed CPR and took him to the hospital, Ruda told the newspaper.
Jackson’s death brought a tragic end to a long, bizarre, sometimes farcical decline from his peak in the 1980s, when he was popular music’s premier all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV, dominated the charts and dazzled even more on stage.
His 1982 album “Thriller” — which included the blockbuster hits “Beat It,” “Billie Jean” and “Thriller” — is the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50 million copies sold worldwide.
The public first knew him in the late 1960s, when as a boy he was the precocious, spinning lead singer of the Jackson 5, the music group he formed with his four older brothers. Among their No. 1 hits were “I Want You Back,” “ABC” and “I’ll Be There.”

I saw the trailer of New Moon earlier while in the movie house and I cannot help but remember that music for Bella supposedly played by Edward. It’s very haunting and sweet perfect for the movie, the setting, the characters and the plot in its entirety. Am not sure if this music had lyrics on it if it’d have the same effect on me, I guess that’d be dependent on the words and on the voice of the artist whose gonna sing it. But for now I love it as it is and it’s stuck in my head, my iPod, my notebook. It has been playing on my notebook over and over for I don’t know how long.
While roaming round the mall I decided to take a break and eat a good meal at Red Ribbon. I ordered meal number 1 which consists of drinks, meal and a slice of cake, for the cake you get to choose between chocolate or custard and being a chocolate lover I opted for the chocolate slice. Now when it was served they got me a custard cake instead when I said I ordered chocolate he shoved the receipt at me and said what's printed was custard.
Now I got two options to shrug it off and just enjoy the cake or to rant and bitch about it and demand on having it replaced. While munching on my food I weighed the cons and pros of each side ... now though I wanna have a chocolate cake am not all pleased with the idea of nagging. The idea of bitching seem to have some sort of appeal for instantaneous release but then mom used to say that educated people don't rant and rave and humilate others.
But then they wouldn't switch my cake even after I asked politely so I let it go and charge it to experience.
So remember Alex Band of The Calling? Yes, that's right. He's the gorgeous vocals of The Calling with that heart shattering voice and beautiful face. Am bubbling and yes I adore him voice, face and gorgeousness all in one. Well I've been a true blooded TC fan in the span that they've been a band but now that Alex has gone solo I follow his music just the same. This new song of his, well not really that new it has been released in 2007 I think, entitled "Hold On To You" sweeps me off my chair and I just love it. Take a look at the lyrics and see the video below, it's not the music video but a fan vid which is nice just the same.
Hold On To You by Alex Band
You walked into my world
A beautiful girl
Lost in a movie
And though we’re light-years apart
I’ve stolen your heart
Left you on empty
And I know that this isn’t fair
But in all the craziness I need you there
Chorus:
I’m gonna hold on to you
I’m gonna stay strong for you
And if everyone fades away
I’ll still be there for you
Naked under the sky
It’s a blue moon night
We sink with the ocean
Crashes up at our feet
So sticky and sweet
Never felt more like children
In my mind I’m trying to find sanity
With all the confusion here, it’s hard to breathe, but I'll
breathe...
Chorus...
All my life I’ve dealt with pain
So I don’t need you to drive me insane
Even the best things have to fall
It makes you wonder why we love at all?
And I know that this isn’t fair
But in all the craziness
I need you there
And I know you’re impossible to top
You ask me if you’re too little
You're more than enough for me...
Chorus...
Im gonna reach, reach, reach out to you
I wanna be one with you
And if everything fades away
I’ll still be there for you
