Wow...so many impressive contributions. I'm nothin' special, the usual stuff that's been already posted -
love of God, of children, sense of awe about nature, love of art, scientific curiosity (although he was a bit on the deep end and took it a bit further than me - e.g. skeletons and stuff lol),
passion for games, love of cartoons, classic movies, passion for travel and the discovery of different peoples and cultures...
Add to that
a sometimes weird sense of humor, drinkin' from bottles, sitting with the legs crossed underneath our bums (habit which we both inherited from Blankito lol)
, we both forget stuff around (folks at work have to give me back my cells, keys and stuff cause i keep forgettin' them in their office lol or i forget them at home),
we both love to blast out music all over the house and all day long, but especially in the morn when gettin' ready for a new day.......and more painful things like
the deepest sense of solitude (feeling alone in this vast universe, yet providentially tiny planet),
shyness (most of which i overcame in the meantime, but back in my teen years i wouldn't look at people in their eyes; the sidewalk was really the most fascinating view in the world lol) or
the need to bottle up things inside and hide issues from all those around us thinkin' we are strong enugh to deal with them by ourselves,
the need to be in control of our actions and reactions (he got a bonus cause he had the stringent need to also control other people's actions, not only his own),
both being sappy, crybabies (this is where i got the best of though cause i've taken cryin' to a form of art lol),
we both got a biiit of a hot temper which shows up every now and then when pushed to the limit. We also like to
keep folks guessin' of whether or not we are joking. We also both agree
a little mystery to figure out never realy hurt anyone; where we disagree though is about the dosage of said mystery - he likes to cultivate it a bit more than necessary or recommended.
There are also some hilarious things - like
both being accused of doin' voodoo lmao. Also, w
e both got skinny behinds, so much so wind could carry us away if it weren't for gravity. I don't actually believe in this stuff, but
his birth sign was Virgo and
i have Virgo rising which is said to put its imprint after the age of 30. I guess i could blame my
attention for detail and
the mild degree of perfectionism on that. Thankfully in my case they are tamed by lazyness and disorder
It gets funky when the families get involved
- my 'sister' in Spain is called Esther, same as Mrs. Jackson
- my grandma on my momma's side is born on May4[SUP]th[/SUP] same as Mrs. Jackson and Jackie
- one of my uncles (he's more like a big brother to me though cause he's in 40s) is born on May16[SUP]th[/SUP] just like Janet
- Randy is born on the day (Oct. 29[SUP]th[/SUP]) after my dad
- Tito is born (Oct. 15[SUP]th[/SUP]) one day after my 'mom' in Spain, Mari
- Jermaine is born in the same year as my folks - 1954
- btw of years of birth - this year, had Michael lived he would have turned my folks' 54 and my folks turned 58, his year of birth lol
- one of the nannies for Michael's children is named Pia, a name related to my nun friends in Rome where i stay when in town
- me and two of the kids share days and months related to name and birth
- i was born in a place related to crowns and we all know how much Michael loved dat royal title of his *trips while tryin' to bow bee4 the king and lands on her face* and how fascinated he was by monarchy and titles of the kind...
- some others too that i can't write down right now
On the other hand,
we couldn't have been more different - everything from age difference (22 years and some months) to our completely different backgrounds in terms of geography, social and political circumstances; the fact that he was born in such a large family, while i'm an only child and like i said - i'm a lazy bum, while he was such a hard worker with impeccable work ethic, his infamously meticulous patience vs. my volatile, impatient self....but then again those last two might be a bit relative considerin' certain aspects.
Leavin' those aside, i just gotta go O/T because this next particular pic in
dangerous2000watts' siggy is hilarious.
:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Is that red hat worth a fortune in smiles and laughter or what? And btw of your siggy- is that Jude Law laughin' same as me @ Michael's hat? lol Of course we would never dare laugh at Mike himself, but that thingie is simply precious......
Ah....and to get back on topic, one thing i forgot to mention -
my names (both the two legal ones and the others i go by)
feature - in part or complete - in about two thirds of Michael's songs. I didn't actually count them or do the percentages, but suffice it 2 say i
are all over the place, kinda like my green eye on the Dangerous album cover or some of the animals associated with me
And since i mentioned my names - they are not only in Michael's songs, but in other people's from Michael's life, quite a few of 'em them as well. Reaaally freaky stuff, makes ya think we in the twilight zone or smthin' lol.
