What it do...'tis I Headphones...your favorite invisible, non-existent blogger who happens to be sleeping with your boyfriend or girlfriend? OHHH did I just say that?! I THINK SO!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! So on to pressing issues....SHALL WE?!
So, if anybody actually follows this blog...I guess I went on a sort of prolonged break from updating this blog but now I'm back and better before. I've created a new blog -Chief's Agenda 2.0- but that's for my rant and raves about anything that truly bothers me and most of the time it's most likely MJ. So I've decided to make this a more personal random blog of my life.
So, I really don't have anything much to say right now but I have a lot of it in me especially with everything happening in the news. So right now I have to focus of some work for school so I'll be back later with a fuller and better blog. So until then....JUST BEAT ITTTTTT!!!!

Track 1: A Month Into 2010 & A New Outlook On Society: I FINALLY GET A LIFE!!
Not really....
Sobriety is not for the weak!
Okay, enough of this random talk!!!
In true breaking news, I entered my name into Google and I got a hit. Apparently, I am labeled as a homicidal maniac who dresses up in a Snuggie and stabs at the trees because they been messing with my baby momma and running up in my territory while I am trying to make that dough...
Well you know what? GOOGLE LIES!!!
...........................................................
I don't own a snuggie......
Ummm....what? What's Headphones talking about these days? I'll tell you what! ABSOLUTELY everything....Alright, let's get to the agenda SHALL WE?!

Ummm....what? What's Headphones talking about these days? I'll tell you what! ABSOLUTELY everything....Alright, let's get to the agenda SHALL WE?!
I thought it's about time that I update this blog which hopefully I'll make a continuous effort...
It has been four months since my last blog I've written that was nothing more than what was going on with the whole investigation regarding Michael Jackson. I had to stop because frankly my erratic typing and reckless use of grammar frighten a few of the children....
On a serious note, first up old news....
After almost 8 months since Michael Jackson's death, Conrad Murray was arraigned on one count of manslaughter after pleading "not guilty" in the death of Michael Jackson. He's out on a 75,000 bail and is still practicing medicine of course under the exception that he does not prescribe nor put any patient under any type of anesthetic....
Yeah....this has all became irrelevant to me because instead of this being thrilled that this case is finally moving again I instead want to poke fun at the fans that were present at the courthouse that day...
I know you're looking at this blog like "Headphones why would you do that? Aren't you a fan of Michael? Why wouldn't you want these fans at the court house?"
To answer all those questions: SHUT UP!
Nah I'm kidding....the reason why I'm poking fun at them is because they have brought shame upon the whole image of a MJ fan...which has suffered enough when MJ was alive but now has taken a turn for the worst now that he's gone. For which I'm afraid could never be repaired.
Yes I am a fan but I'm a fan with common sense and also know that Michael Jackson's shit does in fact stink. I love the man's music, persona, his humanitarian side but I don't turn a blind eye to the actions I disagree with. The reason why I say fans should be within 500 feet of the courthouse is for the fact that they're actually impeding the actions while at the same time unknowingly make themselves as well as all of us looks like insane, blubbering idiots.
Those who question are actions (TINI anyone?) view those with some common sense and sense of decorum (like me and a couple others) as HATERS. WE DON'T WANT JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL!! YOU BELIEVE HE WAS ACTUALLY GUILTY OF CHILD MOLESTATION!! Excuse me....CHILD *********** (<--it says molestation btw)
Yes, we do and no, we don't....We do want justice for MJ's death. But shouting "murderer" to Murray as he walks into the courtroom, providing your own "finding" from your amateur investigations to media outlets, singing off key while dressed up in a jacket with 5 dollar sparkle beads glued to your ten dollar jacket from Wal-Mart and wearing your little sister's jeans, constantly spamming threads with your little petitions and messages stating to call the LAPD with threats of riots in Murray isn't arrested thus risking an arrest for impeding a criminal investigation and reckless use of 911 (In English: Wasting the LAPD's time) and believe me I can go on but I'm already committing a grammatical sin with this poorly written run off sentence and I commend anyone who reads through this sentence and still remembers the idea. By doing all this it results in one thing, you're ****ing off a lot of sane fans as well as possibly ruining the case the LAPD has put together to present.
As for the constant labeling of "HATER", just because we have a difference of opinion and choose not to have our visions clouded by the bright light that is MJ's fame doesn't mean we hate the King of Pop. It just means that we're representing the one thing that MJ rarely had in Michael's life and that's the power of NO. We chose NOT to follow blindly. We chose to say NO, I disagree with MJ. We chose to say NO!
So, after writing all this I just have one thing to say one thing to say to sum it up.
Go right ahead.....
Write your letters, call the LAPD, continue to shout "murderer" until you're blue in the face. Continue making fools of yourselves but at the end of the days don't come crying to the boards when you face your foolish actions. Don't throw tantrums when you don't get your way. Don't blame the media for being so bias, ignoring you, or making you look like a fool. And finally, don't blame Michael for your actions.
In other shorter news, The Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony aired on Friday. It also premiered the new remake of Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie’s “We Are the World” that was written 25 years ago as a response to the famine of Africa dubbed “USA for Africa”. The remake is “We Are the World: 25 for Haiti” which already signals a hint that this will not end on a good note (PUN INTENDED)
Apparently, Haiti wasn’t important enough nor was worth the time and effort to create their own anthem so instead playing off MJ’s good name they decide to do the planet good and recycle the song.
(This coming from comments from the forum boards and YouTube)
Nothing says donate like having teeny bopper musicians mixed in with the heavy hitters of the music business but then again anything beats listening to Mariah Carey’s need to pierce the listener’s ears with her high pitch screeches. If that doesn’t get you, then try listening to Wyclef Jean’s warbling which in fact is more entertaining than listening to the excessive use of autotune (that explains Jay-Z absence) and the disjointed rap solo. The only part that kept this remake from being a total disaster was the fact that they had chosen to keep Michael’s parts untouched and awkwardly placing Janet in a side by side shot of the two Jackson siblings singing the first chorus. Jennifer Hudson wasn’t exuding a lot of her talent that was seen in the Grammy’s Tribute to Michael Jackson with Celine Dion, Smokey Robison, Usher, and Carrie Underwood as well as herself performing his hit song “Earth Song”. The only singer of the “music group” Pussycat Doll” also provided vocals and that was all….BTW can anybody else name the other members of the group…..I didn’t think so……but whoever does gets a dollar. But with or without Michael, this was doomed to fail as soon as the thought was perceived. Overall, the remake isn’t bad if you are able to sit through the eight minute video without cringing, experiencing that dirty creepy crawly feeling, or the intense urge to vomit…So much to criticize on but I need to stop before I step even further into the unknown territory where music nerds and just overall negative people with no heart and time to waste bashing on a song that is appealing to the younger generation thus creating the “OH, WHY IS THIS GUY SINGING JUSTIN BEIBER’S PART!”, the “THEY’RE TOTALLY SINGING THE 2010 VERSION!”, and “THEY TOOK THAT FROM THE 2010 VERSION!” kind of talk whenever the original “We Are The World” is played by the old school fans. I weep for the future and knowledge of the old school. As well as the death of rap, many site dedicated to the genre have shut down out of desperation because the remake was the propofol that was fed through the tube and basically killed rap. YEAH I WENT THERE! I know that was a cheap shot but I know that the five people who read this blog with stop ten paragraphs into this entry to see it and for those who do read this all the way through congratulations you have no life but here’s a cookie. But I do apologize…. R.I.P RAP ~1974-2010~

Track 32: Sickness Ain't Kind & Neither Is Everything Else
Alright....so if you're wondering where the fuck I've been....I don't care because nobody has been asking that question...so let's get to it....SHALL WE?!
The only reason I haven't been blogging here is because I've been blogging more on this forum I've join and I'm up to almost thirty entries on there. But hopefully that will all change with the upcoming New Year. I got some plans that I'm hoping to stick with into 2010.
Hopefully 2010 will be a better year because frankly 2009 has been a shitty SHITTY year!! I mean it started out good but then as soon as June hit that's when all the shit hit the fan. But anyways here's hoping... Off that, I've finally finished my third semester which was worst than my last semester but I don't wanna think about all that right now because all I want is my sleep back....By the way, how do you like the new layout of the blog? Yes, I'm doing the tribute to the King Of Pop during the BAD Era so WHOO on that lol....
As of lately, I have been battling a bad cold since Tuesday and it didn't help that I had two finals on Wednesday but I got through them both and I went home, finished up some remaining homework, took two shots of NyQuil and passed the fuck out. Thursday, I spent the day in bed hoping to get over this damn cold and then I hear the doorbell....but think nothing of it until....I remembered that my mom was expecting a big package that is supposed to be a gift for my dad on Christmas was suppose to be coming in soon so I get up to check it out and encounter my dad who checks on how I'm feeling and tells me to take some more medicine and in turn I ask him to gimme some tomato soup. So while he's off doing that I go to check on the two packages that have arrived and I was right one of them was HUGE and thick and the other was a smaller baggy most likely something for my brother I'd have to wrap up later...I look at the big box and I FREAKED OUT!!! There is a frickin' Michael Jackson Opus sitting in my living room....The MJ Opus is a book that MJ had been working on before he had passed and the people he was working with decided to finish it and release it as an expensive tribute. I honestly was not expect I would actually get one since it was so expensive but I am truly grateful and still shocked as hell....So for the rest of the day I've kept my excitement to myself. Later on that night, I saw Santa Claus riding on a firetruck which brings me to the conclusion that SANTA IS A FIREMAN!!
(Anyways, I just realized that I have severe ADD when it comes to posting blogs....lol)
So Friday, nothing really to highlight except that my mother calls me up while I'm in bed recovery and she tells me she has a prize for me IF I do something...so she tells me to clean the kitchen and kick my dad out of bed so I can make it up. So I do all of that as soon as I get off the phone with her because she is SOOO adamant about this being done. So she gets home later on and I'm more excited for the pizza because I'm hungry but after eating my mom presents me with a magazine that I have been meaning to buy but it's either missing or I never have any money for it. It's an MJ magazine that also functions as a calender but really like I wanna mark up a pretty magazine with that hahah....But when I told her that it was a calender as well she became all crestfallen and sad and looked at the presents which told me the third thing I'm most likely getting which is a MJ calender but I just told her that I wasn't gonna use it as a calender lol. But aside from that nothing else except it also started snowing too...YAY!
Today, Saturday wasn't eventful either due to the fact that we're snowed in but I had an awesome dream that involved one of the 3T boys or Tito Jackson's sons but I won't go into because frankly kids could be on Blogger so nyah....but otherwise I woke up to a winter wonderland and took some pictures of it when it was at barely a foot of snow. Right now it's looking to go to two feet so that's something to be happy about lol...and Christmas is looking to be a white one too. So instead I spent the day straightening up my room so I could make some room for the new stuff from Christmas to put it and then my mom made me wrap some more presents for her friend and she kept telling me that I will be compensated quite nicely for my skills. Maybe with a new certain book...that's hiding under her bed lol...Here's to a great Christmas coming up in a few more days...That's basically all I gotta say so umm yeah I'm gonna go and watch some Rocky VI, put away my clothes and count the days until Christmas so yeah.....BYEE!!!

Track 31: Food For Headphones' Brain...Oh How Depression Looms...
So...it's been four months going on five months since we've lost Michael and I feel I'm recovering but I have my days where I'm just a walking shell...I don't talk unless spoken to and basically just keep to myself. All I ask...why him of all people? I'm happy yes....but that's what they want to see but it's not what I feel...So, I have this reoccurring dream/thought that eating away at my mind and as I write about it...it brings me to tears. So, when I go through my days there ain't no sunshine when Michael is gone and even when the sun is shining at it's brightest it's still dark in my eyes.
Anyways, in my thoughts I'm walking through a cemetery...graves are lining my paths it's foggy and there's a slight mist. Why do I have to keep seeing this place? You brought me here why? Just to show me what will never be? I come upon the first grave and there is a girl who is 15 sitting there sobbing for her lost. I kneel beside her and we strike up a conversation. 'It's not fair...why did God have to take my uncle of all people?' She continues to cry out and I offer my an answer. Sometimes when a person completes their mission....they're called back to God. The girl looks at me with her tear stained face...'What about when their lives are cut short by the hands of another...someone who he thought was his brother? The real life Cain & Abel. She goes silent and I get up and start walking again then I hear. He was a man...who had once knew nothing but crime until one day he broke the silence with the sounds of chains at his mother's funeral before he's goes off to prison. Afterwards, he becomes a pastor and preaches the word of God. He wasn't even given a chance to fight to survive. If he wasn't even given a chance then how can I have faith in God again. With that she's gone. The date was April 11, 2006...
I continue along the path until I come upon another grave. This time there was another girl who was 18 at the grave. This time she's wearing a uniform...a police uniform with no emotion on her face. She stands there like a soldier at attention. She hears me and acknowledges me and nothing more. I stand next to her and strike up a conversation. 'This man...died in the line of duty and yet no recognition...' But he was a man who died for protecting those who couldn't protect themselves and doing what he loved. 'Yes, he did but his death was overshadowed by the death of his suspected killer by the supposed hands of his own.' I felt crushed because this man also acted as a mentor towards me and a few others whom we're so close to. I broke the news to my closest friend who had no way of finding out so I thought it was best to tell him. He was the closest to him but he's wasn't here to pay proper respect to his mentor. I attended his funeral not just for myself but for him as well. But he brought together a community who honored and were touched by his heroics. She looked at me with a small smile and for that I thank him. She hands me something and walks off but now without saying 'Rest In Peace Sergeant' and with that she was gone. I look at my hand and see a police officer's sergeant chevrons. The date was June 27, 2008.
I continue walking until I come upon one final grave site until I'm finally able to exit. At this site sits a little girl no older than 10 clawing at the dirt with tears falling fast and freely and some small dirt smudges on her small face. 'YOU CAN'T BE GONE!!' she screams repeatedly. I run to her and grad her and try to console her. She grabs at my shirt and continues to sob loudly trying to figure why she lost him. 'YOU SHOULD STILL BE HERE!!' For this I have no words and in fact I felt I've lost my voice. I just continue to listen to the girl sob by now she's down to a quiet sob as she returns to her spot. 'You even sang it in your song...whisper three words and I'll come running......She barely whispers 'Michael, come back. I still don't speak...I just walk to the girl, kneel down and hold her as she keeps sobbing....the day was June 25, 2009.
These three girls are myself...at the ages I've lost the people I loved and respected most. The one who speaks to them is also myself representing those who try to console me with their hollow words...words that seem so general now. With each I was able to help I was able to move on until I was able to leave the cemetery. But when I stopped at the ten year child I felt loss...I was 10 going on 11 when I became a fan of MJ and when I found at he died I listened to 'You Are Not Alone' and that opened the wounds and I reverted to my 10 year old self who was that hardcore fan. He died when I was 18 and turned 19 on his three month anniversary. I was able to recover from losing my uncle and my mentor but who can console me after losing MJ...I take each day with one step and hopefully I will think of those three with nothing more than a smile. I may grieve more for MJ but I don't love my uncle any less and I respect my mentor so much more for being willing to give his life up. Is there really such a thing as a time limit on the grieving process...
Love & Peace

Track 30: We'll Be Moonwalkin'
How ya be my lovely Blogger?
'Tis I, your bad-ass...random-ass....soaked ass Headphones, here to bring one of my random rambling of a blog because frankly I ain't got better shit to do then just sit here on the computer and look at videos of Michael Jackson's old performances which are still great today, um....cats fighting then watching another vomit, turtles having sex which is fuckin' hilarious by the way (This is what I do while you're at work lol and yes I did actually watched these videos). So let's get this shit crackin' SHALL WE?!
First off, I'm not in a good mood because I'm still pissed at the 86 Metro bus for straight leaving my ass and duex it's very cold, deary and wet outside cause it's raining and it's October and it's Fall but it feels like Winter. So cold and rain and me do not mix well today....no no no...but the silver lining in all this inanity of it all is that I finally got my little fangirlish hands on Michael Jackson's one and only 1988 auto-biography 'Moonwalk' which was re released on Tuesday in a special 2009 edition which feature a new foreword by founder of Motown Records Berry Gordy. I almost thought I wouldn't have been able to get it because I thought I'd be a nickel short of the price but thankfully my giftcard my mom gave me for my birthday (THANKS MOM YOU JUST BOUGHT ME $100 WORTH OF MJ BOOKS LMAO) had enough to cover the change and I had enough to cover the remaining amount so yes I am proud owner of said book lol...
Now, as of right now I'm currently killing time in my school's computer lab because frankly I'm in no mood to walk through the rain and wait for a bus so I'll take a later one because this is how much I love my blog...so I thought I should update it once in a while I mean just because Miss Cougar can go on hiatus doesn't this spic should lol j/k j/k j/k....I just win I had money for food ;_; lol....Although this is perfect weather to be listening to 'Stranger in Moscow' -le sigh-
Anyways, I want to write that I found out that this guy who worked at my mom's job had died from I think a rare form of Lupus so condolences to his family. This guy was short little Asian man like half my height (not being racial speaking the truth) and he was just plain adorable lol and I can't believe he's gone I mean I was sad when he quit but to hear he died is just one big plain ouch. Also Al Martino from The Godfather who sings "Speak Softly" which is one of my favorite song died two days ago at the ripe old age of 82 so Al you'll be missed by this chick....
This brings me to what's been buggin' me these past weeks even months. Why can't a person just die in peace overall...I'm not wishing death on anybody I'm posing a rhetorical question. But I mean no matter what the circumstances are surrounding their death whether it be suicide, cancer, drug O.D., or whatever...can't they just pass on and be done with...For the pass 3-4 months I felt as though I haven't been able to properly mourn MJ's death because the media is constantly talking about it and sometimes without fair views...Instead of just being sad I keep getting angry because of the media's way of reporting on anything Michael it then reaches the fans and in turn the fans go crazy with angry and sometimes I feel some of them are blind to the reality of it all...People are coming out of the woodwork releasing books on MJ and some are being labeled traitors and money making scumbags, the upcoming "This Is It" is being boycotted by some being labeled as a way to make money of his name, conspiracy after conspiracy as to what really killed MJ, and so on and so forth...
Here's my take on this whole situation
On MJ-related literature: Half of these people will write anything that can keep the readers attention and some (not all) will say they did research, they investigated, they interviewed said witnesses. Case & Point, Ian Halperin wrote a book that was released a week or so after Michael had passed and it made some very huge claims such as Michael was gay and used women as a cover, the kids aren't really his, he used hard-core drugs, and of course no book on MJ is ever completed without the infamous molestation trials. I was like some a person downright said I WILL NOT BUY THIS BOOK!! NO WAY IT IS PURE BULLSHIT!! I WON'T GIVE A DIME TO THIS MAN!! But of course I relented and got the book and I felt guilty for reading this book but as I read through it I realized something...I was right this book was pure bullshit lol...but the point is that I read a book that had huge claim but nothing really solid to back it up and here's my message. A person can write a horrible book but it is up to you as the reader to formulate your own conclusion. Going into a book you need to make sure that you read any book about MJ with an open mind because no matter what they throw at you...even if it sounds plausible you don't believe it unless you hear it from the man himself and now that he's gone we'll never some of the answers but the authors sure as hell can try to and answer...
Making Money Off of MJ's Name: Do some people realized that when you buy MJ merchandise that has been approved by the estate that some of the money goes to HIS estate which means to HIS kids. So to boycott the "This Is It" or any other product is just non-sense because you'll actually be denying the estate money which turn no money for his kids or for the charities. And for what some self-satisfying feeling that you didn't allow the corporates to sway you into buying their money making products because they're exploiting MJ's name...I'm not defending the corporates and I'm not using the kids to ensue guilt I'm merely just being realistic. This is like a double edge sword if a person releases anything of MJ we don't know what they'll gain out of it they're labeled a 'money making scumbags' but nothing is released no money goes to the estate. I admit I'm very disappointed in SONY for how they're treating MJ's music and I would love to see MJ's fan take that eyesore down to the ground.
Conspiracy: We can all hope and pray and do dark magic and give anything to have MJ back alive but unfortunately fate is a cruel bitch. As we all know his death was labeled a homicide and the primary target of focus is Dr. Conrad Murray who was with him the day he died. To me that is who I blame for MJ's death...he was there in that room and he was the one who stuck the drip in his arm and he is the one I want punished. But I hear these people giving us elaborate conspiracies that involved people that we're out to lay there hands on MJ's money and they actually believed this like it's the holy word and label people who want to deny it or challenge it as not being a true fan. Just because I don't want to believe does not give you the right to challenge me on whether I am a true fan or not because they is no ten commandments to follow to make you a so call true fan. I loved MJ with all my heart but I am a person who wants facts and hard evidence. Show me a video or audio of these people actually talking about killing MJ but it is not a crime just to say I WANT TO KILL MICHAEL JACKSON! If there is evidence of a plot to kill him then it is labeled a crime. All these conspiracies are no better than if you had written something for the tabloids and sold it for millions.
I've just had enough with all the questions about his death. I want him to be at peace, I want his children to be able to look at their father the way they always seen him, I want him to be remembered for being the greatest star in the world. Unfortunately with the way things are today...it's be a while before I'll be able to think of you Michael and just smile and laugh...
Well, I'm done with my ranting and again this is my take on the issues and my opinions which I am entitled to and should not be considered as me trying to pass off as facts. Some of what I say could be wrong. I'm sorry to be this way lol must be the weather but anyways I've finished in the nick of time since I have to go and I managed to finished a blog in the allotted time OMG I'm so proud lol. So, now I'm off to go home, get warm and make some soup for me to enjoy while I read my books. I'll end my song here and take my bow...so until next time my loves...Farewell, so long, adios, adieu, sayonara.....
Love & Peace

'Tis I, your bad-ass...random-ass....soaked ass Headphones, here to bring one of my random rambling of a blog because frankly I ain't got better shit to do then just sit here on the computer and look at videos of Michael Jackson's old performances which are still great today, um....cats fighting then watching another vomit, turtles having sex which is fuckin' hilarious by the way (This is what I do while you're at work lol and yes I did actually watched these videos). So let's get this shit crackin' SHALL WE?!
First off, I'm not in a good mood because I'm still pissed at the 86 Metro bus for straight leaving my ass and duex it's very cold, deary and wet outside cause it's raining and it's October and it's Fall but it feels like Winter. So cold and rain and me do not mix well today....no no no...but the silver lining in all this inanity of it all is that I finally got my little fangirlish hands on Michael Jackson's one and only 1988 auto-biography 'Moonwalk' which was re released on Tuesday in a special 2009 edition which feature a new foreword by founder of Motown Records Berry Gordy. I almost thought I wouldn't have been able to get it because I thought I'd be a nickel short of the price but thankfully my giftcard my mom gave me for my birthday (THANKS MOM YOU JUST BOUGHT ME $100 WORTH OF MJ BOOKS LMAO) had enough to cover the change and I had enough to cover the remaining amount so yes I am proud owner of said book lol...
Now, as of right now I'm currently killing time in my school's computer lab because frankly I'm in no mood to walk through the rain and wait for a bus so I'll take a later one because this is how much I love my blog...so I thought I should update it once in a while I mean just because Miss Cougar can go on hiatus doesn't this spic should lol j/k j/k j/k....I just win I had money for food ;_; lol....Although this is perfect weather to be listening to 'Stranger in Moscow' -le sigh-
Anyways, I want to write that I found out that this guy who worked at my mom's job had died from I think a rare form of Lupus so condolences to his family. This guy was short little Asian man like half my height (not being racial speaking the truth) and he was just plain adorable lol and I can't believe he's gone I mean I was sad when he quit but to hear he died is just one big plain ouch. Also Al Martino from The Godfather who sings "Speak Softly" which is one of my favorite song died two days ago at the ripe old age of 82 so Al you'll be missed by this chick....
This brings me to what's been buggin' me these past weeks even months. Why can't a person just die in peace overall...I'm not wishing death on anybody I'm posing a rhetorical question. But I mean no matter what the circumstances are surrounding their death whether it be suicide, cancer, drug O.D., or whatever...can't they just pass on and be done with...For the pass 3-4 months I felt as though I haven't been able to properly mourn MJ's death because the media is constantly talking about it and sometimes without fair views...Instead of just being sad I keep getting angry because of the media's way of reporting on anything Michael it then reaches the fans and in turn the fans go crazy with angry and sometimes I feel some of them are blind to the reality of it all...People are coming out of the woodwork releasing books on MJ and some are being labeled traitors and money making scumbags, the upcoming "This Is It" is being boycotted by some being labeled as a way to make money of his name, conspiracy after conspiracy as to what really killed MJ, and so on and so forth...
Here's my take on this whole situation
On MJ-related literature: Half of these people will write anything that can keep the readers attention and some (not all) will say they did research, they investigated, they interviewed said witnesses. Case & Point, Ian Halperin wrote a book that was released a week or so after Michael had passed and it made some very huge claims such as Michael was gay and used women as a cover, the kids aren't really his, he used hard-core drugs, and of course no book on MJ is ever completed without the infamous molestation trials. I was like some a person downright said I WILL NOT BUY THIS BOOK!! NO WAY IT IS PURE BULLSHIT!! I WON'T GIVE A DIME TO THIS MAN!! But of course I relented and got the book and I felt guilty for reading this book but as I read through it I realized something...I was right this book was pure bullshit lol...but the point is that I read a book that had huge claim but nothing really solid to back it up and here's my message. A person can write a horrible book but it is up to you as the reader to formulate your own conclusion. Going into a book you need to make sure that you read any book about MJ with an open mind because no matter what they throw at you...even if it sounds plausible you don't believe it unless you hear it from the man himself and now that he's gone we'll never some of the answers but the authors sure as hell can try to and answer...
Making Money Off of MJ's Name: Do some people realized that when you buy MJ merchandise that has been approved by the estate that some of the money goes to HIS estate which means to HIS kids. So to boycott the "This Is It" or any other product is just non-sense because you'll actually be denying the estate money which turn no money for his kids or for the charities. And for what some self-satisfying feeling that you didn't allow the corporates to sway you into buying their money making products because they're exploiting MJ's name...I'm not defending the corporates and I'm not using the kids to ensue guilt I'm merely just being realistic. This is like a double edge sword if a person releases anything of MJ we don't know what they'll gain out of it they're labeled a 'money making scumbags' but nothing is released no money goes to the estate. I admit I'm very disappointed in SONY for how they're treating MJ's music and I would love to see MJ's fan take that eyesore down to the ground.
Conspiracy: We can all hope and pray and do dark magic and give anything to have MJ back alive but unfortunately fate is a cruel bitch. As we all know his death was labeled a homicide and the primary target of focus is Dr. Conrad Murray who was with him the day he died. To me that is who I blame for MJ's death...he was there in that room and he was the one who stuck the drip in his arm and he is the one I want punished. But I hear these people giving us elaborate conspiracies that involved people that we're out to lay there hands on MJ's money and they actually believed this like it's the holy word and label people who want to deny it or challenge it as not being a true fan. Just because I don't want to believe does not give you the right to challenge me on whether I am a true fan or not because they is no ten commandments to follow to make you a so call true fan.

Track 29: Oh The Randomosity of Halloween!
*staring at profile pic of MJ goodness*OH! I didn't see y'all there....What is good my lovely Blogger! 'Tis I, Headphones, back again double the random, double the Spanish (for your info books, I'm Mexican-American just a little fun fact for ya), double the spaziness. I'm here to bring you joy and laughter because frankly I ain't got nothing to complain about really.....yet....Alright so anyways I'm bouncing around and going Off The Wall and really I have no clue I dunno guess it must be the Life cereal (MMM CINNAMON GOODINESS) but these past days were good.
Saturday, I went to the movies with my dad to see that Michael Moore Documentary Capitalism: A Love Story. It actually wasn't that bad...it was eye-opening but I kept getting lost lol and for any Family Guy fans in here it's like this....While watching the movie I kept hearing people laugh at some of the references Michael Moore had made and I thought "this is just like the season primere episode of Family Guy when Brian and Stewie are stuck in that Washington Post comic and Brian is the only one laughing at it....Stewie has it right....S.....T....F....U! lolSo anyways afterwards we went SHOPPING!!! at the grocery store bleh! Not fun....what is fun is going to the mall down the road which is housed to Books-A-Million and f.y.e (For the some who don't know these place it's like a low scale version of Borders or Barnes & Noble or any shop that is a primary bookstore lol and f.y.e is like a low scale Best Buy lol). So freshly strapped with a gift card to the bookstore I set foot into it and set off to find me some MJ....which I did find....I managed to pick me up the Hardcover Versions of the LIFE and PEOPLE tribute magazines to MJ which is awesome and I found a really nice paperback tribute by Whitman it's called MICHAEL JACKSON: The World Says Good-Bye To The King of Pop and it's basically a book of quotes from all the celebrities in the music industry as well as a few fans from all over the world....and it has some beautiful pictures too...last but not least I also found the book by Bruce Swedien "In The Studio with Michael Jackson which I can't wait to read after I've finish Randy T.'s book. So after I make the purchased the woman ringing me up state of course the obvious....you must be a Michael Jackson fan which of course I said yeah that's me...lol and she was really cool she told me about the new book by the Rhabbi and how that may be the only book that isn't out to trash MJ's image unlike others....like I told her about the Unmasked book and she was like "when I saw I was like no...." then of course the molestation cases came up and she stated that she was ashamed of the families for taking the money because if she was the parent and he DID do it she'd want to see him behind bars. I agreed with her...don't scold her because she's entitled to her own opinion and like her if our kids were molested we'd want the offender behind bars even if he is famous....we can't let fame blind justice.....but that's all I got to say really....
Getting back to the title of this blog...I'm on a mission to create MJ's Smooth Criminal outfit for Halloween but I've decided to turn it into something new so I'm taking two of my favorite performances which are Smooth Criminal and Dengerous and combining them into one....so now instead of traditional blue/white I'll be black and red....so today I went shopping after class since I wanted to exchange my new military jacket for a bigger looser size and now I'm in heaven which I hope I can wear to see This Is It lol. Then, off to Payless Shoes where I bought BOOTS (sorry...boots make me squee) and on the plus these boots look almost like loafers and are a dream to moonwalk in ....I bought a new tribute shirt but unfortunately need to exchange that so two out of three ain't bad lolSo as of right now I'm happy because I've managed to complete more of my mission and since this costume idea it'll be a snap *snap* (I just hope people don't condem me for remixing a classic hm) as of right now I need a red shirt, red socks, suspenders, and spats...and with that I've finished with my randomosity and I'll leave you with you mind in a puddle...Until then....
Love & Peace

Track 28: New Look For The Blog & Birthday Run Down
What it do lovely Blogger? 'Tis I, Headphones, coming at your with my 27th blog which is kinda of a shocker since the most I've ever blog was like 12 so yeah...I must really like this place....so let's get to business....SHALL WE?!
So anyways as you may have noticed (well obviously lol) I have changed up my blog with a new header and new colors of blues and blacks to match the theme of the new header which features the late King of Pop Michael Jackson from the "They Don't Care About Us". It's one of my favorite song of MJ's from the HIStory album. The song really fits to how I feel about today's society overall from the government to the future of today's children. The quote is from Scream which is another song I love and it also show my stand on today's society. But anyways I made the background as a late tribute to Michael Jackson. So Michael this blog is dedicated to you....
Speaking of tribute, Michael's third month anniversary since his passing just so happened to fall on my birthday September 25. Yes, I have turned the big 19 and I must say I felt somewhat bittersweet since that morning I had my Computer Info System class and that was just plain super boring so I just couldn't wait for that class to end so I can just get home and relax and fall asleep to MJ which I did until I had to go to the eye doctor....not cool.....
So I did go to the doctor and stayed there for like 4 hours but up side of it I got some new glasses (yes I'm a nerdy nerd nerd lol) and got my old pair fixed so I got two working pairs....Plus, all day long I've gotten Happy Birthday texts and looked on my Facebook and saw loads of them so just wanna say a big thanks to all those who took the time out to wish a happy birthday lol. Afterwards, my bro took me out to eat but not without being in a car blasting nothing but Michael Jackson music because being the brother that he is he knows that I am a huge Michael Jackson fan YO! It's a great Japanese place called Sakura's and that place is awesome....entertaining and great food.....and can't end a meal without embarrassing the birthday girl by getting a piece of awesome cheesecake NOM NOM NOM!! Then I got home to catch what I could on the Dateline Special on MJ's Secret Tapes and then I went to the kitchen and realized something wasn't right and before I could run away I was caught and embarrassed again with another cheesecake with a printed picture of MJ (I had stated that if I could I'd want a cake with a picture of MJ on it) my bro called the cake a bootleg MJ cake so I could not help but feeling embarrassed and laughing. Because present to come aside from the dinner was my mom's...She gave me this beautiful coffee book of Michael Jackson chronicling his life and success :) to go with my Barack Obama book.....two men who have made History....
Next day Saturday I went out to breakfast with my mom and her two friends who happen to be sisters and my mom told the waitress that it was my birthday and I was like NOO!!! not again lol....but the waitress was like exasperated like "You were supposed to tell me when I was in the side kitchen so she wouldn't hear and before the meal" she was nice about it though she told me Happy Birthday and I was glad nothing happened...or so I thought....I was again embarrassed for the third time when the staff present me with a Birthday Sundae but it was delicious no less lol silly waitress but she was cool no less....That was it and I gotta say even though I didn't get a lot I was happy for once lol...
That's it for now....just wanted to share my birthday with y'all and I'll be back to blogging about the going ons and my take on everything so far....so until then....
Peace & Love
