7/18/2009 ThrillerLive- A music tribute to, Michael Jackson and the Jackson 5Since Michael Jacksons death last month, i guess like alot around the world, i have sat and watched the tributes, sat and watched the family arrive for MJ's funeral, tryed to get tickets to the memorial ceromony, bought the papers everyday, listened to MJ's music, done and still doing MJ's designs for people, told my own children who this world icon is, what this man, who could dance like no other i have seen did inflenced me throughout my childhood and teenage years....Anything to keep MJ alive within me.
These things never seemed enough, and when the 'king of pop' beat Elvis Presley for the artist with the most singles ever to be in the UK top 40 at onetime, i had to call my mum and she told me about Elvis and how he was her idol, only over time Elvis really had died people stopped talking about him!.
It was at that point i realized that Michael Jackson, like Elvis was to many a older folk out there 'A world icon, a legend', would also die has the years go by. Michael's music would one day be in the distant past, Me playing his music everyday wouldn't keep the world icon alive. I got of the phone from my mum, and got straight back on it again.
Michael jackson will live on in our children!-
He will in mine, middle one is, when she watches MJ's videos, like i was back then when my brother showed him me, completely mezmerized by MJ's moves, little one watched and cryed to the memorial, older one asks alot of questions when she reads headlines on the front of papers, one thing is for sure, they all recognize Mj's music when being played in shops...The shops over time will stop playing the icons music.
The only way i can keep Michael alive in my children is to take them with my mum to London, take them to a tribute of Mj's music.!
Taking the girls to the O2 Arena and then to watch Thriller Live in london's west end on what would of been MJ's 51st birthday (August 29th) will surely be a day for us to remember forever!
The t-shirts we will be wearing arrived this morning-
 Problem we had with the planning is-
1st hotel- City Express Inn, Hakney looks ok on the website, till googled in google UK- More a dissused clothes factory renevated on the inside but they forgot about the out. :-(
2nd hotel- The Queens Hotel, Crystal Palace- Mum and i was happy with untill again i read reviews and googled, to find from the train station to the hotel is a long walk up a slopping hill, mum would never be able to walk up and down that for 6 days!.
3rd Hotel- Olymic hotel, Kensington. We both sticking with :-)
Cheerio to the provoking neighbour....Been awhile since i was actually sat right here, sharing anything good or bad thats been going on in the real world, so thought i would update the 'provoking neighbour blog' ---->> http://mandie-design-academy.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1CF36F002C97A669!4402.entry with....
SHE'S GONE YEEEESSS!!! *i jumped on the tables when i saw the truck turn up * :-)
The street has had two evenings of complete silence, Solitaire hasn't barked when out in the garden after 2200. Infact you could hear a pin drop it really is that quiet. Feels like i live here with no neighbours eitherside of me. New neighbour is lovely, the girls have been playing with neighbours little girl since they arrived yesterday. Although Solitaire is non -to- chuffed that the girls smell of new neighbours two dogs.
We all know that when moving out of your home and moving to a new home lived in by someone else you expect 'some' mess to be left. Poor neighbour has been scrubbing walls, filling them, replacing toilet seats ect since they moved in. Putting all rubbish into black bin bags for 'provoking' neighbour to pick up. New neighbour is not bessed please that when she moved in she has one cupboard door an inch bigger than the actual cupboard itself, 2 doors totally disappered (assume parovoking neighbour took them with her) Right now has i type this, the new neighbour is pulling up lino from the kitchen floor due to 'provoking' neighbour having left their dog in the kitchen for weeks to go the toilet... (I knew i should of reported her to the RSPCA when i had an idea that was where the dog was being kept all day)
I felt like saying to new neighbour i will help you clean, although over the years, if there is one thing out of many i have learnt whilst living in this small village and that is. - Sometimes it is better to not offer ,that way you yourself do not become part of the gossip clan!
Here's to a peaceful cul-de-sac once again!
7/7/2009 I did try,....I tryed to get the tickets, would of loved (like the rest of the world who grew up with MJ's music) to be right there, although if i had those tickets i wouldn't of got a flight soon enough to get there anyway, oh well, memorys are right here, the music always in my heart.
R.I.P
THE KING OF POP,- A TRUE LEGEND TO THE WORLD.... AND TODAY TO OUR CHILDREN!
