I'm thankful that distractions find their way to me quite often the past days.
I'm not even asking for it, instead I keep thinking what I have done last year to the exact time, how I felt, how 'it' felt - and this feeling comes over me again - this strange feeling full with sadness, lonliness and emptiness. This thought of reminding me what happened, the thought that over 365 days have passed.
But without asking for it, I faced so much distraction since 06/25 that my thoughts are torn apart and can't concentrate on one subject. I'm actually thankful for all this madness I currently faced. I could slap someone's face for trying to set me up with someone, but on the other hand, I'm thankful that I got so mad, that it distracted me for a bit. And all the other little things, that keep popping up. Like an unexpected phone call when I was down which then got me in tears because of laughter.
I'm thankful for that.

There's something I need to say...
... long time, no... blog? Whatever!
I REALLY need to write about one subject! And this is Chris Brown's tribute for our angel.
Well, well. Nice tribute. Emotional, I'd say. And yes, I cried too. I don't think he faked the tears. And so on!
But that's not the point! I'm sick of people's ignorance. "Let's move on", "he deserves a second chance", etc.
Since when does a tribute qualify a person a better person? For real now!
Some people act like it was a slap on the wrist and that he didn't beat the ish out of his girlfriend. Fyi, I'm wether a CB nor a Rihanna fan - but beating up a girl/woman goes beyond a "mistake".
His further actions prove if he became a better person. Not a tribute.

#Justice4MJ Twitter Events / Karen Faye & Sam - MY thoughts
"A Plan To Seek Justice For Michael Jackson" had this wonderful idea to make #Justice4MJ a worldwide trending topic on Twitter on March 11th. I do not want to go into detail about the definition of "Trending Topic", please google it or in case you do not find anything, feel free to ask But let me tell you this: it's important and the idea of this event was to provide information which have not been in the media - information that maybe MJ fans or non-MJ fans did not know - an event to make people question things.
To cut a long story short. March 23rd - the event was repeated by the same group -as mentioned above- again. After some time #Justice4MJ disappeared from all Twitter lists - worldwide, countries, cities - which is impossible due to the fact that #Justice4MJ had more mentiones than Topic on e.g. No. 5. Some people (including myself) questioned that and suspected regardless of the disbelieves of other Twitter users that is has been blocked.
MJFSC/ ACMC organized their event on March, 25th and posted possibilities to change the tweets in order to be a trending topic. Regardless of this changes #Justice4MJ did not show up although of a great amount of tweets. On short notice the organizers decided to change their hashtag to #WeLoveMJ which reached the worldwide Trending Topics easily.
I have said it on tuesday - on thursday and I'm saying it today again - I haven't changed my mind since tuesday and improvements did not change my mind either. In my opinion it has been blocked - since tuesday and it was obvious (hopefully) to everyone on thursday. What the reasons may be? - we can only speculate.
Conspiracy or was #Justice4MJ reported as spam?
A way to enable the freedom of speech or too many similar tweets?
A way to stop interesting information to be read by others or too many suspended accounts?
It's up to you what to believe.
And I will end this blog by sharing my point of view on Karen Faye and Samantha. I actually did on my twitter account but unfortunately I tweet too much and my thoughts disappear after some time.
You are allowed to like them or dislike them. That is not my problem. But this bashing makes we wanna scream STFU! Providing such information on public twitter accounts make other people take over this opinion without researching on their own. But besides that - I have seen A LOT of tweets - I do research (in order to find out where the division comes from - for myself - I won't share my opinion on that) and to me it seems that people are wether bored, obsessed or very jealous. I mean, how can someone talk endlessly about that persons on twitter accounts which are only dedicated to them?? Seriously! This stupid SHIT (I say it loud and clear S-H-I-T) is distracting, and you distract yourself without knowing it (or maybe you do?). Look into other things, people that have been in Michael's life and controlled it - that is where you should look into - that are the kind of information you should provide on your damn twitter accounts. You only care about that Sam said this and that, interrupted the nurse and Eddie without considering that there was a delay on ustream and without considering the good things she said.
I'm not saying you should like them - Seriously - I am NOT - but to be a social competent person in nowadays society and to act like Michael - treat persons with respect and do not hate - that makes you look ugly.
Thanks for your attention!

We Are The World?
As (maybe) many of you I saw the premiere of the remake of "We Are The World" which was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie (... as it's officially stated, I know we MJ fans heard a different version, but officially I stick with the official statement now ;) ...).
I also followed discussions about the song.
Will Michael be in it? Will Paris and Prince be in it? Will Janet be in it? I'll hate this song if Michael isn't in it. It's just money-making. Miley Cyrus can't sing. I want MJ's kids in it. I don't want it. Oh, Michael is in it, they are using him.
And so on. Pretty confusing and tiring. Almost everywhere was someone who complained about something and many people forgot what it is about:
HAITI.
It's not about the singing, it's not about who's HOT and who's NOT. Even if Michael wouldn't appear in it, there would be still artists singing HIS song... uhm... I mean Michael's and Lionel's song *cough*.
Of course, I don't agree with every artist on there, but why should I surround myself with negative emotions when it's still for a good cause? Complaining doesn't make it any better. Instead we should use the energy to support Haiti and to support the fight for Justice.
Is it money-making or true charity? - I don't know. I won't post my opinion here due to lack of information. I didn't read any news or background information on that subject.
And to end this - NO ONE is forced to support WATW 2 in order to help the people on Haiti. You can donate to many different organisations, but more important is THAT you donate. And so did I and I will continue on that way.

Dear beLIEvers / Justice for Michael
Dear beLIEVers,
I feel like speaking out to you and I don't know if many will even read this.
I feel you, we all do, because we share the same pain. Our angel has been taking away from us and it's hard to understand and to accept it.
I have an open mind and after some months I was ready to take a look at all kind of theories. And YES, I also watched some of the Hoax theories videos, although my heart told me it was wrong after seeing Paris speak and Katherine's eyes full of pain. After watching some of them and my own research I came to the conclusion that it can't be an hoax.
It's not my intention to insult you, but
please don't judge anyone because they are smiling in the video because it does not mean they are happy.
Please don't judge anyone for being tongue-tied, we are human and it happens.
Please don't jugde anyone for mixing dates, we are human and it happens.
Please don't judge anyone for using the present tense, because it feels so strange to speak about a person in past tense.
I'm not telling you to stop investigating for your clues, but if you want to have correct clues you should investigate in all directions.
I just wish you would focuse your energy towards the latest happenings. Michael needs your help, we fans need the help of all fans. We need to stick together.
What if you find out one day that Michael is really gone? Wouldn't you blame yourself for not showing your support in the fight for Michael's Justice? Wouldn't you blame yourself for not trying to contact the LAPD or DA? Wouldn't you blame yourself for not being 'there' but instead of looking for clues? What if someday -and I pray to god it won't happen- one of the 61 autopsy pictures would be leaked? What would be fake then? Would you still claim it's photoshopped? How many proofs would you need? How long would you wait for Michael to come back? How many song of Michael would you analyze even if he hasn't written them (e.g. "Cry")?
And just in case, IF Michael really faked his death in order to escape a serious danger in his life, don't you think it would be 'stupid' to come back and having the same danger back?
I'm sorry but no matter which direction you prefer, Michael is physically gone. But we need to stick together to get JUSTICE for Michael and I wish all fans would work together.
It's all for J.U.S.T.I.C.E.

Paris and Prince Jackson at the Grammys
It's almost a week ago and I don't have to say much about the appearance, except of:
I'm proud of you both. I love you!
MJ Exhibition at the O2 - Fanday
A bit late, but better late than never.
Last month, to be specific, January 23rd I visited the MJ Exhibition at the O2 in London.
It was emotional as well as interesting. Just seeing the O2 and knowing why I am there brought tears to my eyes. The Exhibtion is just "Whoa" and definitely worth the trip to London (in case you are living abroad). But nevertheless it's a depression thought to be there while you are standing in front of Michael's outfits and being blown away. It's a rollercoaster trip of emotions. The part that was hurting the most was the "This Is It" part of the Exhibition. The outfits, the stage, etc.
If you are able to go there, let me tell you one thing: It is not allowed to touch anything, to take pictures or to film. But if you are doing it, be quick and make sure no one of the secruity is around LOL
The Fanday party was great. As well as the dance groups, the singer, the little children and the 80's host. Gosh, I loved her, she was so funny. Navi was good, but the mood of the audience was rather.... well, bad.
BUT the shop. Holy cow, a paradise for every MJ Fan. Huge pictures everywhere. Only MJ articles (T-Shirts, bags, Booklets, CDs, Posters,...) If I would have had a bit more money... well ya know ;)
Later we (2 german fans and me) tried to meet some MJJC members but "Slug & whatever" (that's how we decided to call it since we didn't know how to pronounce the last word) was over crowded and therefore Mrs. Music and Sils_ from MJJC and 2 fans from a dutch forum tried to find another spot to enjoy the rest of the evening with a dinner at the O2.

Besides from all the trouble we had to face the other days and the lack of money, it was a wonderful trip!

How To Spot A Fake Jackson Account
As many of you I'm sick of posers and fakes on Twitter.
To be specific: Fake Jackson Twitter Accounts.
To be sure if the person is fake or is real you can follow these hints:
1. The first thing to make sure if the account is real, is the Verification sign which you can find above the persons followers. Unfortunately Janet and Randy Jackson are the only ones who have a verified account yet.
2. If an account isn't verified (yet), you can easily check if it's real if you go to their official homepages or related websites (in case of the Jacksons the site of AETV or interviews where it's mentioned). But unfortunately these accounts mostly doesn't have the amount of followers they deserve.
3. Speaking of followers. Not always the numbers of followers are everything (for example @ALLJACK5ONS. This account is real but they only have -to this moment- about 6,330 followers which is only explainable by the lack of the verification sign). But fakes (and mostly moneymakers) tend to "follow back". Did you see Janet following back all her fans? Genevieve? Austin? No! They don't have to promise to "follow back" in order to increase their number because they are real and use twitter to keep their fans up to date with news and thoughts.
4. BUT a small number of people who are "followed back" by a "Jackson" is not always the determining factor too. Looking at some Prince, Paris and Blanket accounts you can clearly see that they are just following a small number. But we don't need to argue about Michael's children because almost all verified Jackson accounts informed us that they don't have a twitter (MySpace or Facebook). To add one Jackson in this point: Rebbie. Austin himself said that his mother didn't know twitter before december (but to this point some fake accounts already were around) and that he isn't sure if his mum will ever join it.
5. If you are still not sure if it's real or fake take a close look at the tweets. Sure, we all love if a Jackson answers us or retweets us but if it's too much it seems kind of suspicious. Which doesn't mean I want all Jacksons to ignore their fans - NO - I'd love to see more communication ;)
BUT if this person seems to have awfully a lot of time it's strange. You can also check who this person is communicating with. Is the "Jackson" tweeting with one of MJs kids? FAKE! No discussion here! All Jacksons know they don't use it and wouldn't never claim that this isn't true.
More suspicious is the way of tweeting. We mostly know how the Jacksons talk and behave in public but it can be imitated. But is this person always angry about the lack of the verification and threatens to delete the account? Is the person strangely advertising stuff that doesn't fit? Does something not fit with official statements? (One example, one girl claimed to be Autumn Jackson and said that she just talked with Jermaine... but to that time he was in an airplane, flying to germany). And don't forget to check twitpic or tweetphoto. Why would La Toya upload press photos of herself when she could share private pictures of her in a hotel room? Just refering to this because she does upload videos of her "being on the road" on her YouTube channel - which can not be faked.
6. My last advice is to check Jackson-Source.com. They have the real accounts there, because they communicate with the some of the Jacksons.
But sometimes there a damn good fakes. I remember one about Jermaine, it was before ALLJACK5ONS and none of this 5 point made the account look suspicious. In that case you can only wait untill someone verifies it or ask some of the Jacksons in hope for an answer.
I hope all this points will help you in the future to expose the fakes.

The Jacksons Twitter Interview (@ALLJACK5ONS)
The Jacksons gave their first twitter interview ("Twitterview") today (January, 10th). Fans were able to submit their question on aetv.com and the best, most interesting, most asked, etc. (you know how it goes) were picked and used for the interview.
The interview took place between the @ALLJACK5ONS and the @AETelevision accounts and each tweet got retweeted to make it easier to follow.
As you can see, the members of the Jacksons typed their name before the answer.
And now have fun reading and cross your fingers this will be repeated one day soon. It was fun and interesting!

Jackie: not fighting with my Brothers.. LOL

What inspires you to create music?
Jerm: Traveling and seeing different nationalities and cultures. Also, everyday situations inspire me as well.
Tito: wow, that's a good one. Lot's of things inspire me, but creating comes from within
Jackie: creating a new sound and making that J5 magic inspires me.
What instruments do each of you play? How did you learn to play it?

Jackie: I remember always having to wrangle Michael & Marlon from pranks all day. "I'd say, Michael & Marlon get serious"

Jermaine: Who would you say is the sharpest dresser of the group?
Jerm: I AM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"After this, we're doing films."
Sunday, January 10, 2010 at 12:00AM Those were the final words my uncle Michael would ever say to me.
It was at the end of our family day at a Beverly Hills Indian restaurant. While I was saying my goodbyes to the rest of my family, I went up to my uncle and hugged him. I told him that I loved him and that I was proud of him and proud to be his nephew. I also said I would see him soon because I was planning to go to the UK to see his shows. He responded by saying that he loved me more. He then paused, looked me straight in the eyes and said, "after this, we're doing films."
That was our master game plan. You see, my uncle had another huge passion besides music... that was film directing. We would always talk about making films together, me and him, we were going to be a 1-2 Jackson power combo.
That's what I loved about my uncle. You truly believed like you could do anything when you were with him. He made you feel like that. He was so inspirational.
Since he's been gone, a huge hole exists for me. One that can never be filled. An emotional, spiritual, and mental hole. The only thing that helps, is knowing that I am doing exactly what he would want me to do. Doing what he taught me to do…. and that's film. And that's why Code Z is so important to me. It's about a promise. A promise to direct films. A simple promise that I made to my uncle, who was and always will be the greatest.
I know someone could say that Code Z is just a zombie series. But it's much more than that too. It's the official start to my film career... when I finally stopped talking about it and started doing it.
I really want to thank all of you for helping me keep that promise.
