After this whole MJ death. I admit I have been listening and reading more about him out of intrigue.

I dug this old video up from Dave Chappelle’s stand up. You gotta watch this. It’s hilarious.

I love good comedians because they can make strong social commentary that is in a humourous nature.

Also, if you hadn’t had a chance to find or see “Take Two” which is a rebuttal interview, take a look. It was very interesting.

I was watching the documentary “Living with Michael Jackson” with interviewer Martin Bashir. I want you guys to know that Martin Bashir is full of crap (you can see it for yourself) and completely sensationalises his interview with Michael Jackson. He puts MJ under the spot light in a harsh and closed-minded perspective in order to skew the presentation of the documentary in a way that suits his end goals. He also snakes his way into MJ’s home and acts like a friend and gives him all this false praise just so he can lure Michael Jackson into saying things he can use for his piece. Besides being a shitty human being, he is also an idiot for thinking that the viewers won’t realize he is painting a one-sided picture.

He had a wonderful opportunity to delve into the entire life of one of the world’s most talented musician/performers, but chose to focus his energy on the scandal and superficial tabloid worthy material. Disgusting!

If you watch the youtube part 9/10 or 10/10 it gets worse. There is also a release of the behind the scenes which shows Martin’s two-faced side called Take Two.

Michael Jackson moved people, inspired people, and contributed to more charities than ANY celebrity. He hated the “fake” adult world which he recognized but didn’t want to be a part of. He wasn’t stupid. He knew what people implied and he took that heat and continued to show love to underpriveleged youth, terminally sick children, and so on. People out there took his innocence and love to their advantage. Seriously people, the guy was a millionaire. He doesn’t have to invite a terminally sick child over to a million dollar ranch just to get some. If that’s what you think, then you are just as wacky as people make him out to be.. and on top of that you’re not even contributing anything close to the level of music, inspiration, and outreach that he did. I do agree that some of his behavior is definitely not “normal” or “pc” but given his childhood and lifestyle you can’t imagine him to have a normal life. We (the public) are partially to blame for making his lifestyle so different.

Michael Jackson revolutionized music and dance as we know it. He helped millions of kids, charities, foundations. He donated his time, love, and money. He inspired artists like usher and athletes like kobe. What has Martin Bashir done? Act fake in order to create a documentary focusing on crap and bringing down Michael Jackson’s reputation in order to boost his own career. Good job.

Here is a synopsis of “Living with Michael Jackson”

I almost don’t want to show this to you guys because I feel like my Chinese is SO BAD!

Here is my interview with NTD TV Station last week.

To summarize, I just talk about my experiences with wushu, competitions, how I got into it, and other effects it has had on my life. When I listen to myself talk, I feel like I really need to improve my Chinese.

On that note- I am very very seriously considering moving to Taiwan or Hong Kong in early 2010.  I really want to improve my Chinese and be business proficient in my reading/writing. I’ve also booked 3 tickets today. 2 flights up to nor cal and 1 flight to Toronto for World Games. This is a big deal in more than one way. It marks the era of new freedom and new opportunities for me.

Wushu – I practiced today and was feeling A LOT better than Monday. I feel a little fatigued and sick, but had much more energy and precision compared to Monday. I think Monday I was REALLY not feeling it, plus I hadn’t moved around for almost 2 weeks. Wushu is really a sport that you have to upkeep. If you even stop for a week or two you feel a difference in endurance and precision.

Film – A buddy that is a director called me and wants me to audition for an online series he intends to shoot. I looked over the script and he said he would probably contact me further about meeting up this sunday. While we are the subject of films- I also came up with a GREAT action feature. I will post about it when I finish writing up my detailed outline. Know any good script writers?

Misc – I was watching the documentary “Living with Michael Jackson.” The interviewer Martin Bashir is a snake and he is full of crap. See my follow up blog on this.
