This Guy Again?? Geez.....-cc

So here we are again amidst another Jackson controversy. We go through our daily lives focusing our attention on another media feeding frenzy over some guy that we will all pretty much agree is not all there. Now, I won't lie, I danced to Thriller and have to say that Off the Wall was one of the best albums of the 80's, but it doesnt change the fact that the guy has a few screws lose, or has just screwed one too many times. Okay, I know thats gross, but seriously, how is it that we set aside so much time out of our days talking about something that really has minimal importance in the greater scheme of things? Do we not remember that there is a war going on???

Anyway, if we have to talk about it, here is what I think. First of all, there are more holes in the stories (on both sides) than on a block of swiss cheese. I was checking out an article on Smoking gun and I noticed there was allegations from the defense that these kids were running lose around the ranch and that they supposedly stole alcohol that Micheal had bought for guests. My first question is, what guests are those? Since he usually surrounds himself with children and he supposedly doesn't drink, the only guests he would have are like 13?!
And whats up with these kids parents? Shouldnt they be on trial for leaving their kids there for weeks at a time without supervision, just cause Jackson has money? Money does not mean safety. And how was it that these kids were able to run crazy through Neverland Ranch? Doesn't Micheal have security? Hmmm.... makes you think. Now I'm not saying that he didn't do it, I'm inclined to think he did. However, I'm gonna need a little more evidence proving his guilt. So far the witnesses have been about as useful as a seeing eye dog for a deaf person.
Check out some recent articles and you tell me how reliable the witnesses are. Somehow the kid can remember, in graphic detail, everything that happened a few years ago, but cant remember a conversation he had with his school dean not that long ago. Weird right? And if they were so frightened by Micheal and his security, why didn't they turn to authorities sooner. If you ask me, I definatley think some hanky-panky went on there, but I think the parents were equally as responsible for letting it go on for so long, and then deciding that it might not be a good idea for their kids to spend night after night, missing school, with someone as obviously removed (from earth) as Micheal. Um...hello?

The Real Christen-CC

Every year, children around the world awake from a one eyed sleep, to scurry to their living rooms in anticipation of finding their Christmas dreams come true. Some get baseballs, in hopes that they will one day play for their favorite team, some get dolls that they dress up and make their own. On a similar morning about twenty years ago, one little girl got a typewriter, and so began the adventure that she would create for herself.

I was born in Hartford, Connecticut on November 25. Shortly after my parents divorced in 1989, me and my brother Stephen were more formally introduced to the world of the arts. Since they we lived with our father, we spent most of the time with our mother on the weekends, which were usually occupied by whatever theatrical production she was involved in.

Surrounded by actors and writers at an early age, I was inspired to become a writer and began my own newspaper, The Freestone Flyer, at the age of 9. Following a neighborhood scandal involving the town I grew up in and the local residents, I decided that I would be the one to speak up, when others did not know how. The first edition of the Freestone Flyer, a monthly newsletter, was an early example of my journalistic tendencies.

In following years, I was active in the music community, touring Europe at the age of 16 with the United States Youth Ensembles choir.

At the age of 17, I attended Central Connecticut State University. However, I left after two years to pursue a career with Cydcor Marketing. After completing the management training program in 1 year, I was one of the youngest managers in the company. Upon arrival in Chicago, I decided to leave Cydcor to pursue a career as a writer.

I currently attend Columbia College as a journalism major, and hopes to work in the magazine industry, or as a producer in broadcast news. Having supported myself since the age of 17, I still works full time, presently in the blues industry at a local and renowned blues club in Chicago.
