"This Is It" A Musical Experience You Don't Want To Miss..

..and I mean that. Wholeheartedly.

I've been a fan of Michael Jackson since I came out of the womb, pretty much. With that said, it was ALWAYS a given that I would go and see this movie. When tickets went on sale, I shot to the ticket website and bought two tickets for my mother and I for the midnight showing. I was extremely excited.

I honestly did not know what to expect for this film. Would I see a full concert? Would I see strictly interviews with cast, crew, etc? Would I get an in depth look at Michael's creative process? Would I see a man I have never seen before?

There was immense speculation surrounding this film and even before the announcement of the film, speculation was high surrounding his health and his ability. For awhile after his death, it was almost like people tried to give his passing a label, to put a reason out there for what had happened. Whatever label or reasoning people throw out there, it will never take away from the talent this man possessed and the perfect condition he was in to see his imagination come into fruition.

"This Is It" proves all the skeptics wrong. Michael is strong. Michael is motivated. Michael is inspired. Michael IS, in this movie. Even posthumous, Michael raised the bar even higher.

In this film you see Michael in a way, even I as a life long fan, have never seen him. He's in an element of creative overload. His ideas and thoughts just pour out onto the stage and into the crew as you watch him work towards his vision of this magical and awe-inspiring journey that was to be his stage show. When his musicians weren't sure of something, Michael immediately stopped their thought processes and almost molded the idea of a melody with his hands, right then and there. He had a way of working and enabling people to understand his creative ideas that I wished he used in his life in the light. He was seen as such a misunderstood individual and this film shatters that completely.

This movie makes you understand why Michael was the way he was and why his life perplexed so many. Michael never conformed to the "norm" and though the media and the on-lookers turned away, it was the reason his craft was so untouchable and praised. Anyone of us, spoiled and soured by the spread of negativity in today's world, could never reach a level of a Michael Jackson. His naivety was his prized possession that allowed him to be the expressive and sensitive being that he was.

Michael is Michael in this movie. The Michael that most fans always knew existed, but rarely ever witnessed. I imagine that Michael's closest and most trusted have seen him in his true element like in this film. He jokes with the crew, laughs, and encourages the people around him all the while being completly dedicated to his craft and perfecting his show. His balance of fun and work is so beyond what I personally, have ever seen from anyone. It's truly that of someone with the ability to see things like a child and a perfectionist would. He makes the room focused yet at ease. His encouragement of the people surrounding him is professional yet extremely personal and heartfelt. He's strict yet stands with open arms. I work ethic I myself, never knew existed.

The reaction in the theater was all-embracing. The opening of the movie is quite serious and when it starts, you realize that this is about someone who is no longer with us. The saddness sets in and you feel mournful though the subject matter is that of joy and appreciation. However, when the first number starts your heart fills up and you're brought back to that place of personal experience and fun all at once when Michael starts singing. You can't help but smile at such happiness and talent that Michael embodies. I smiled throughout every number, almost as if I was there. You can't help but sing-a-long and enjoy yourself when he's performing. And when he speaks the theater is silent and concentrated on him. It's atmosphere that makes you feel like we have no idea. The thoughts and the creations Michael speaks about and expresses are like none anyone else could ever conjure up. His genius is alive and living in this film.

The footage is raw and there are starts and stops, re-do's to perfect timing, lighting, etc. You see Michael before some numbers discussing his vision and expressing the feeling of specific songs to try and get the people around him to understand exactly what he wants the audience to experience. You see Michael in rehearsals with his musicians developing sounds, melodies, and creating a world around his songs. Every song has an ocean deep experience and Michael literally, drowns you in each and every layer. Michael puts more talent, genius, effort, dedication and work into this one show than today's artists put into their whole lives.

The This Is It experience is something a lover of life would truly appreciate.

Sitting in that theater this morning, I felt so many emotions all at once. It was a whirlwind, a huge and magical whirlwind. I was sad. I was anxious. I was amazed. I was awed. I was intrigued. I was happy. I was surprised. I was mesmerized.

Then, it ends with a single shot of the King in a stance that I will never forget. And you realize, we lost the best there will ever be.

Go see the movie, you won't regret it.

R.I.P. Michael

$7000 Later..

I had a whole other post planned and in the works..however, I've been really busy lately due to something that came up. That other post, will have to wait.

Last weekend, Sunday morning around 2AM my friend and I left this bar we were at to go visit another friend of mine up in Morristown, New Jersey. Morristown was about an hour away from where we were and we had my blackberry ready with directions.

So, I get on Route 24 West towards Morristown and we're fine, just cruising. We see an accident with a car flipped on it's side, "eek" we thought. Kept on, singing. Then we notice, there are NO lights along the highway anymore. What a dumbass thing to do...not put lights on a damn highway. However, there was someone along side of my car and behind me, so I didn't want to put my highbeams on -- incase one of the other cars passed me. The one alongside of us, passed infront a couple of times and then ended up alongside of us permanently.

Now, I'm going about 55 - 60 mph. The speed limit is 55 and of course, the asshole behind me is like, in my damn backseat..but do I care? NO. It's only HIS problem if he rear ends me, cause that insurance company of his will write me a pleasant check.

Anywho, the car alongside of me is maybe 100 ft ahead and all of a sudden it swerves and we're like "WTF" and then PA DOW!

THIS stupid ass decided to jump into traffic (sometime before we came across him), get hit and die in between two lanes.

I was driving in the left lane and this highway had three lanes. This deer was taking up the two left lanes and by the time he showed up in my headlights, it was too late and my beautiful, poor love bug just PLOWED over the prince of the forest.

My friend was in the car, screaming like I had ran over a human. I was like ZOMG!!!!!! Got real calm, slowed the car down and pulled over to the left shoulder. Apparently, asshole behind me hit what was left of the deer after I plowed over his ass..but, he kept it moving and didn't stop. Me on the other hand, my car was smoking, the oil light came on, and the off-roading light came on LOL.

It was like the rollercoaster ride from Hell. My car literally flew once I hit that stupid ass deer.
I mean..it was the biggest deer I ever did see. Like this type of size:

Like what the hell? You figure a deer this big is supposed to be smart and wise and all that jazz..but no. His ego told him to jump into the road and just trash my car and my night. SMH!

So all this week, my father has been going back and forth with the insurance company. I have collision AND comprehesive..so all I have to pay is my low rate deductable. However, these stupid ass people take me for a FOOL!

My car is new. There's nothing wrong with it, I drive it back and forth to school, work, and drove it to Long Island 4 times. It only has 24,000 miles and they want to put USED parts in it.
NO MA'AM!

Sorry, but I was NOT born yesterday..I pay good money, every month for that car. It's never had an issue...and the cheap ass insurance company is NOT going to make some for me. I'll be damned if they put 2004 parts in an '07.

Here's the list of known damage from their first look:
The AC unit fell out/cracked and all the lines connecting it are broke
The radiator is broken
The oil pan -- ce la vie
and my bumper...that deer head cracked it clear in HALF.

According to the insurance adjuster and auto shop supplied by Volkswagen, there is a lot more damage underneath those things -- giving me a grand total of over $7000 worth of damage.

If they don't fix it right, then...it may be a difficult emotional move for me, but they might as well total my car and write me a damn check for $16-17,000 so I can go and buy me a new one. I do not have time for the run around with these lame people. Atleast, with a check I can just get me another car and keep my life moving.

However, let us all pray that things go right and these lame ass people DO THE RIGHT THING and just fix my baby the correct way she deserves.

<3 love bug
