QUESTION - What did Michael Jackson do in his free time and what were his hobbies?
ANSWER -
How much time do you have exactly? LMAO!
Because there is technically a lot to list out.
Michael was able to do all kinds of cool stuff, it was wild.
And when Michael actually GAVE himself free time, he enjoyed doing a lot of fun things.
️
He was always a super workaholic so that meant that free time was like dessert; and he was on a diet that didn't include dessert because he would always make himself work, even on his days off and his weekends.
Other times, he simply didn't have free time because being him meant being busy.
But when it was free time, it was fun time.
People were always so confused by his youthfulness and child-like nature, but they didn't understand that he needed that in order to stay SANE because the truth is: people that are workaholics will work ourselves until we're sick.
Just like perfectionism, workaholism is a blessing and a curse.
It helps you zone in, hyperfocus, practice, and create. However; you can sometimes get a bit carried away, too. I honestly realized that having a youthful spirit is like glue. That part holds you together, keeps you healthy, helps you stay happy within all of the stessful work you have to do, and it's necessary.
Michael often wouldn't take vacations or breaks because relaxing would actually make him feel lame.
He used to say that relaxing too much made him "feel like a bum" and like he was "wasting his life away" if he wasn’t doing stuff. LMFAO!
Yes, perfectionism and workaholism will put you to WORK forever. It's not even a game at all.
For everything he knew how to do; there's honestly a lot, so brace yourself lol.
The Grand List Of Michael Jackson's Hobbies, Skills, Interests, And Abilities:
He loved riding around the ranch in carts, cooking, acting, drawing, reading, musicals, plays, watching cartoons, singing, going to live shows/concerts, watching movies, playing games, being outside in nature, climbing trees, riding on amusement park rides, dancing, art, broadway, having water fights, studying to better his craft, swinging on swings, swimming, playing a little basketball, theatre, shopping, writing stories, creating poetry, taking photos, recording videos, learning new things about basically anything.
Also, he loved talking to people all night like folks didn't have anywhere to be the next day. He was a night owl and could talk all night in person or on the phone with people until 2-3 in the morning, or later.
Michael LOVED to talk a lot and enjoyed having conversations with other people who could do the same. He was able to talk to anyone about anything and it didn't matter who you were or where you were from, as long as you were a kind person and he was able to be comfortable with you. Just like on stage, he wasn't shy anymore if you could get him talking.
He loved playing videos games, reading comics, magic tricks, playing pranks, voice impressions, giving gifts, donating to people directly, jokes, donating to charities, making songs, dreaming, taking walks, and everything fantasy.
🕊
He wrote letters, cloud/stargazed, hosted fun get-togethers, and liked to listen to music MAD loud (ridiculously loud).
He loved cars, boats, and motorcycles.
He rode bikes and skates and scooters and skateboards!
He collected antiques and rare collectibles.
He also enjoyed making designs and plans. For example: he made designs (or blueprints) for renovations and wrote scripts for shows/films!
And just think, this isn't even everything.
This is simply a summary of his hobbies and it's pretty damn long. He was extremely vibrant and hilarious and fun, for real. We truly lost a real one out here and life just hasn't been the same ever since.
Do you see any of your own hobbies or interests in the list?
I feel like there's so many that everybody can definitely find at least ONE inside there somewhere.
Thank You For Reading And Au Revoir!
Long Live The King Of Music Forever
