I thank all my friends who accompanied me this past year. It was in a very difficult, where I spent some moments, sad, cry, maybe even hurt someone, but forgive me, it was very difficult to face it, some things are still painful, unhealed, perhaps could be delayed or may never be able to heal.

Thank you very much for the patience, understanding, support and especially for their friendship which is the most important.
I L.O.V.E.  you all!

 

REMEMBER:

“The Best Is Yet To Come”

HAPPY NEW YE AR FRIENDS!

Merry Christmas

 

Lord I like everyone else.

I also have my special requests.

But do not worry!

I have little new to ask.

I have, indeed, much more to thank.

But Christmas is not Christmas if we do not kneel before thy Wisdom

to redo all those applications that thy goodness know what we need.

Look, gets around to end all wars.

These people have fought through so much!

It makes them see the futility of much dispute.

And there are those who know only love and hate.

It makes them understand that our time is so short forto miss feelings with children.

Oh … also those who have hurt me.

Makes me want to forget what happenedand gives me light and greatness for me to learn to forgive.

Still have those who are desperate.It gives them comfort, a matter of life and shows them wonderoperated by the word Hope.

Children are always very close to them,

I ask that everyone realizes that they are the future,

and to enlighten the hearts of all about them,

it has much to teach us.

There are those who are already old friends.

To these I ask what I always asked:

May I always be what is expected of meand if it is not,

they can understand my limits.

Now you have my new friends,

To them I ask is beautiful and great.

The miracle that we did findcontinue operating only beauty in our lives.

I can forget the sadness of the yearand in this prayer,

just ask you joy and thank.

It causes people to believe that the worldcan still be better,

Just believe and each do their part.

And for that I say… Faith

Thank you!

Amen

Donate Time

There is a gift that will not fit in Santa’s bag, is priceless and is not even for sale. And if there would be a long queue of buyers.

But this article of luxury in contemporary life, we all want more and more, is just the most precious gift we can give to another – time.

Not a simple choice to offer the other what seems to miss the family, friends, leisure and even for that book some time left on the bedside table. Even more so when the “other” in question is an unknown. But it is this availability that thickens the ranks of volunteer work and make a difference in the lives of those who are in vulnerable situations.

In ONG’s that promote volunteer work, differs from charity, which is making donations and volunteering, which is time and attention on behalf of someone, unlike donate, donate to imply time, care and availability.

Before starting any type of volunteering you should first of all, undergo a self-assessment to identify what you are good and can pass that knowledge.

Volunteering is an exercise in citizenship, with rights and duties.

You make a difference in someone else’s life with the opportunities you had.

Donate time.

Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there’s still a chance for you
Cause there’s a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you’re a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-own

You don’t have to feel like a waste of space
You’re original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you’re reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it’s time, you’ll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you’re a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gunna leave ‘em fallin’ down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It’s always been inside of you, you, you
And now it’s time to let it through

Cause baby you’re a firework
Come on show ‘em what your worth
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you’re a firework
Come on slet your colors burst
Make ‘em go “Oh, oh, oh!”
You’re gonna leave ‘em goin “Oh, oh, oh!”

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

“Michael called and said he would kill him,” says Joe Jackson

 

The father of superstar Michael Jackson was in Brazil to promote the book that tells the alleged conspiracy to kill the king of pop

JULIO LAMAS

Surrounded by security guards, journalists and a crowd of fans, Joseph Jackson, 84, father of Michael Jackson, was in Brazil to promote the book “What really happened to Michael Jackson – the dark side of the entertainment industry” (World Publishing ). On Monday (29), he went to a mall in the capital city for a signing next to the book’s author, Leonard Rowe, producer of shows in the Jackson Five and Michael Jackson’s solo career (1958-2009) during 30.

According to Rowe’s book, Michael was killed on behalf of commercial interests. He said that the will was released to his family after the death of the star in June 2009 is false. ”It was signed in a day that Michael was not in New York, and the names of the children are not written correctly,” said Rowe.

This theory, however, still generates controversy among fans and the press.But controversy is not greater than the actual figure of Joe Jackson. The image of the father of the king of pop was constructed from the statements of Michael on the harsh beatings and psychological abuse they suffered to rehearse and to keep in line. That description, however, does not match the behavior of seemingly serene Joe now. Looking into your eyes and hearing his calm voice, that’s so low enough to be imperceptible at times, it is difficult to say who the father is taking advantage of the enormous legacy of the child to earn some more money. Joe Jackson said that as far as the fans, he searches for justice. But it is undeniable that this search also fattening the bank account: according to the book’s publisher, more than one million copies around the world have been sold.

The trauma of domestic violence, which led Michael to take his father’s will and away the decisions of his career so he could not seem to bother Brazilian fans, happy to be close to someone close to my idol. In place of Michael Joe Jackson got the love of the followers of an orphan child. Flamboyantly dressed, as usual, in black with gold chains (one with a map of Brazil), met all requests for photos and signed about 200 books for two hours.

“When Michael died, I was super happy because I had everything ready to see the show This Is It in London tickets and paid tickets. It was a hard blow. Now I’m here, despite knowing of abuse from his father, just to be near someone who was with Michael and really knew, “said the auditor Thiago Cosme de Brito, 29, who wept to see Mr. Jackson in person.

After the signing session, Joe Jackson talked with TIME at a dinner. He talked about his desire to seek justice, and their relationship with their grandchildren and their plans for the legacy of Michael Jackson.

Época - Why did you decide to support and publicize a book about the death of his son?

Joe Jackson - I want the whole world knows the truth about what happened to my son. And how to tell it was taking the vehicle for prints that they release it for all parties.

Época - You really believe that there is a conspiracy made by the star’s record label, Sony, and AEG, the administrator of your career?

Jackson - Of course yes. That’s what Michael told us. He phoned his mother, a month before his death, saying he would kill him the rights he had on the music catalog of The Beatles and Elvis Presley. Michael had too much power and influence in the entertainment world.

Época - Their daughter Janet Jackson said in interviews that the Illuminati may have killed Michael. You suspect that, too? (The aide interrupts the interview to avoid the question. Jackson smiled and said: “Can you let me take care of it.”)

Jackson - What name is that? Never heard of it.

Época - It is a secret fraternity (the Illuminati conspiracy appeared in books such as Angels and Demons by Dan Brown).

Jackson - I do not know anything about it.

Época - The former bodyguard Matt Fiddes said Michael is the real father of Prince Michael II. And the actor Mark Lester says it will file lawsuits to see if Paris is not his daughter. How do you see these allegations? Michael’s children, heirs to the fortune left by him, are his own?

Jackson - Nothing is true. The children are his own. They created them and in the end they ended up well, because he was involved 100% in all of these things, not just in materials.

Época - You have always been seen as too rigid. As explained by the fact that you see Michael as a monster and keep it away?

Jackson - Drive? I was not rigid. I raised my children so that they respected all people, and also that metessem never in trouble, being arrested or use drugs.And they were talented kids, so of course I put them in show business.

Época - Somehow, you put their careers above happiness?

Jackson - No, no. In the history of their career, they began playing in talent shows in the neighborhood and the suburbs of Los Angeles. Then the shows were getting bigger and they ended up playing stadiums and amphitheaters in the U.S.. Then it grew and they had to grow up and deal with the business at the same time.

Época - How is your relationship with your grandchildren?

Jackson - It’s wonderful. Michael’s children love me and the media tries to put us against each other with gossip. We call it “divide and conquer”, we know that things are well. My grandchildren visited me and I always visit. My wife and I love having them around, because I see that Michael was with them. And Michael used to talk a lot about me and they enjoy it.

Época - How they reacted to know the book you wrote?

Jackson - They do not know about the book, not yet.

Época - Someday you want to tell them about it?

Jackson - no, I do not have to tell them. These guys are so smart that they will read this entire book in just one hour. They read too fast.

Época - In this respect they are like Michael?

Jackson - Basically, yes. But the brightest, the most like Michael’s Blanket in the artistic aspect. Blanket is the most pulled the next “King of Pop” Michael.

Época - As they are more like Michael?

Jackson - Those kids are very smart. You understand their personalities by how they should talk to Michael when he was alive. Blanket, for example, watching television once a week for the weekend maybe for an hour. In the rest of the time they were studying or hanging out with dad for fun. He created them so that they have the same personality he had.

Época - You already said he would form a band with them, as the Jackson Five.

Jackson - If they want to start a band and need help, I can help them, but I would never force them to nothing. They can do whatever you want, play the wrong music they want.

Época - Do you believe that the musical heritage, cultural and financial Michael is well managed?

Jackson - not because Michael said he would be killed because of his music catalog. This is not right to manage, this is wrong. He owned half the songs of Elvis at the time, as well as of most Beatles songs, and many country music catalogs as well.

Época- How do you expect Michael will be remembered in the future?

Jackson - Singing, dancing, helping people. Michael has helped people all the time. I remember him meeting people who had no money to go to hospital, and Michael always helped them, paying whatever. He was the kind of people. He spent a lot of money helping the poor and sick.

Época - Your family is very religious. Where do you believe that Michael is now?He’s looking at us?

Jackson - I do not know about that part of looking for us because we have not seen much. I believe what I see. But Michael was a good person and I hope the media and people remember him that way, as he was. Take this opportunity to thank the fans because I am pursuing justice, nothing more. Do not want to make too much money on his death or anything like that. I want justice, and justice is not easy to get to someone like Michael, because he was the biggest star on earth. But the media does not want that to happen.

Época - You will also open next year in the Jackson Family Foundation. What sort of projects she promote?

Jackson - All types of major projects around the world, like helping the poor and distribution of scholarships, including Brazil, where we put people in charge to ride it and publicize it.

Tightrope

 

Tightrope  by Janelle Monáe

Whoaaa
Another day
I take your pain away

Some people talk about ya
Like they know all about ya
When you get down they doubt ya
And when you dip it on the scene
Yeah they talkin’ bout it
Cause they can’t dip on the scene
Whatcha talk about it
T-t-t-talkin’ bout it
When you get elevated,
They love it or they hate it
You dance up on them haters
Keep getting funky on the scene
Why they jumpin’ round ya
They trying to take all your dreams
But you can’t allow it

(chorus)
Cause baby whether you’re high or low
Whether you’re high or low
You gotta tip on the tightrope
T-t-t-tip on the tightrope

Baby, baby, baby

Whether you’re high or low
Baby whether you’re high or low
You got to tip on the tightrope
Now let me see you do the tightrope
And I’m still tippin’ on it

See I’m not walkin’ on it
Or tryin to run around it
This ain’t no acrobatics
You either follow or you lead, yeah
I’m talkin’ bout you,
I’ll keep on blaming the machine, yeah
I’m talkin’ bout it,
T-t-t-talkin’ bout it
I can’t complain about it
I gotta keep my balance
And just keep dancin on it
We gettin funky on the scene
Yeah you know about it,
Like a star on the screen
Watch me tip all on it

(chorus)

You gotta keep your balance
Or you fall into the gap
It’s a challenge but I manage
Cause I’m cautious with the strap
No damage to your cameras damn I thought that
Can I passy
Why you don’t want no friction
Like the back of a matchbook
That I pass as I will forward you
And your MacBook
Clothes shows will shut you down
Before we go-go backwards
Act up, and whether we high or low
We gonna get back-up
Like the dow jones and nasdaq
Sorta like a thong in an ass crack,
Come on

I tip on alligators and little rattle snakers
But I’m another flavor
Something like a terminator
Ain’t no equivocating
I fight for what I believe
Why you talkin’ bout it
S-s-she’s talkin’ bout it
Some callin me a sinner
Some callin me a winner
I’m callin you to dinner
And you know exactly what I mean,

Yeah I’m talkin bout you
You can rock or you can leave
Watch me tip without you

(chorus)

You can’t get too high
(You can’t get too high)
I said you can’t get too low
(We can’t get too low)
Cause you get too high
(You can’t get too high)
No you’ll surely be low
(No, you’ll surely be low)
1, 2, 3, Ho!

Yeah, yeah
Now shut up, yeah
Yeah, Now put some voodoo on it
Ladies and Gentlemen the funky is on section in the tribalist
Yeah, OH
We call that classy brass

Ohhhhhhh
OH!

Do you mind?
If I play the ukulele
Just like a little lady
Do you mind?
If I play the ukulele
Just like a little lady
As I play the ukulele
If I play my ukulele
Just like a little lady

Happy Thanksgiving

 

Here in Brazil we doesn’t celebrate the Day of Thanksgiving but I always give thanks for everything, not just today.

The day after Thanksgiving should be every day because every day we have to be thankful for.

The meaning of Thanksgiving is the act of thanksgiving, a time to reflect all the good things we have.

I’m talking about gratitude.

Gratitude is an attitude of happiness. You open the doors on a journey to be happy. In the recipe for happiness, gratitude is indispensable ingredient.We always have so much to be thankful for in life.

The loved ones who are part of our lives have essential importance in this list.

The fact that you see so much beauty that God gave us to be enjoyed every day and you have health and work for his livelihood and his family. Think how lucky you are in life. For a moment forget the problems as they exist to be overcome and we mature as human beings. Acting in a positive way is an attitude that attracts gratitude, being grateful you have a guaranteed share in the pie of happiness and a better relationship with life.Gratitude is magnetic and attracts good things you want out of life and demand. You must have faith. It’s a philosophy.Do for others as well. If you’re looking to be happy and grateful, always do for others. When you do for others, bringing a little happiness, she’ll always return. You can not give happiness to people without having a part in it. That’s how it works when you make happy, you’re happy.

If you want to be loved, you have to love.

San Francisco has one of the most beautiful prayers I know. He says it all when he says: “It is in giving that we receive.”

Loving is giving.

With L.O.V.E.

Happy Thanksgiving

IMAGINE THIS

You are not who you pretend to be in front of other people. So why do you feel the need to pretend? Imagine that you are free of that need.

You love the whole of existence. Why, then, do you put so much energy into anger, resentment, frustration and anxiety? Imagine your every thought and action coming from a place of love.

Deep inside is pure love and joy. Imagine allowing more of it to flow out from you. Remind yourself that joy feels just as wonderful whether it is flowing out from you or flowing toward you.

Remember who you truly are. Imagine living in harmony with your authentic essence. Imagine sharing more and more of your real beauty with the whole world.

Beyond what you say, what you do, how you act and think and feel, there is the real, honest-to-goodness you, ever present, filled with life and love and joy and magnificent possibilities. Imagine putting more of that real, beautiful you into the way you feel and the way you go through each day.

That is where you will find the treasure you absolutely know your life holds.

I feel like a stranger in Moscow

I feel like a stranger in Moscow

I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin’ insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin’s shadow belittlin’ me
Stalin’s tomb won’t let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
KGB was doggin’ me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a begger boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again…
Take my name and just let me be

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside

How does it feel (How does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (How does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When you’re alone
And you’re cold inside

Like stranger in Moscow
Like stranger in Moscow
We’re talkin’ danger
We’re talkin’ danger, baby
Like stranger in Moscow
We’re talkin’ danger
We’re talkin’ danger, baby
Like stranger in Moscow
I’m live in lonely
I’m live in lonely, baby
Stranger in Moscow
