Michael Jackson

Hey.

 I just want to put this out here.

I. Love. Michael. Jackson.

No, not like I want to marry him or anything. That would be really weird. And creepy. I don't want to think about that now... He's kind of attractive, but I don't like him in that way. Let me rephrase that.

I. Love. Michael. Jackson's. Amazing. Music.

Now that the awkwardness is cleared up, let me elaborate.

I'm sure some of you people like MJ. Maybe even as much as I do, who knows! Other than you... And I'm sure some of you don't. But that doesn't matter, because I'm talking about me. I hope that doesn't seem conceited or anything. So.. back to music.

I wasn't always a fan. It happened pretty recently, a few months ago. I remember in 2009 when he died. A bunch of kids in my RE group were talking about it. I recall saying that I didn't know if I liked him or not, as I haven't heard many of his songs.

Even now, I haven't heard all of his songs. But I have quite a few albums. Bad 25, Thriller, This Is It, The Essential Michael Jackson, The Definitive Collection... And I'm still working on getting more.

Some of his songs are inspirational and have deep meaning, such as 'Man In The Mirror,' 'Black or White' and 'Price of Fame.'

Other songs are beautiful love songs. They either want to make me cry, or make me feel super happy. Some of those are 'I Just Can't Stop Loving You,' 'Billie Jean,' 'P.Y.T.' and 'The Girl Is Mine.'

There are also some songs that are a mix of romance and partying songs. 'The Way You Make Me Feel,' 'Street Walker' and 'Just Good Friends.'

The party/workout songs are probably my favorite, though. 'Bad' and all of the remixes, 'Don't Stop 'Till You Get Enough,' 'Speed Demon,' 'Thriller,' 'Smooth Criminal,' 'Al Capone' and 'Another Part of Me.'

There are tons of other songs by him that I haven't listed. I have all of those songs and more. But MJ has tons of songs that I haven't heard yet.

I hope I'm not creeping you guys out with my obsession.

Anyway, I hope you guys go and listen to Michael Jackson sometime, he's really amazing. If you can't figure out anything good to listen to, just send me an email or leave a comment. I'd love to help you out!

Captions!!!

Okay, so everyone else on Blogger has something for a certain day. Like, someone posts pictures or a story or something. But I don't! I know, I need to get with the program! So I'm going to try to do something on Wednesday. Scratch that. I already know what I'm going to do. CAPTIONS!! OMG, love those things! So I'm going to post a picture and you guys are going to look at it, think of something funny, cheesy, or even lame to put on it! Kay, here's the first picture:

This is in my yard. Notice how the tree looks like it's talking? (hint hint)

 

If anyone enters (just put it on your blog and leave a comment on mine) I'll post them all and then decide on a winner! I'll put the winner's picture+caption up on my sidebar until the next week! But I just need a name for it. If anyone has any ideas, please comment or email! (purplepixieblogger@gmail.com) Thank you!

Oh, and a quick announcement... I got a new laptop!! Yay! My old one broke a few months ago, so I had to use the desktops. But my Opa (German for grandfather) bought me one! It came on Monday as an early Christmas present. I guess he wanted me to enjoy it before the world ends! LOL, just kidding. The world is NOT going to end! I'm going to be coming back from an AWESOME vacation skiing and staying at a cabin. (Sorry Daylily, I can't go to your 'end of world sleepover'. =( )

That's it! Sorry for rambling so much.
