Michael and Me Part 2

***Click HERE to read Part 1. This is a blogpost series I am doing on several of the similarities and characteristics I personally share with Michael Jackson. NONE OF THIS IS MADE UP!!***

Michael Jackson got his DRIVER'S LICENSE when HE WAS 23 YEARS OLD!


 Because of my exciting news from yesterday's post, I found this to be extremely fitting :)
As you may have been able to tell, driving has been a huge issue for me. I have always felt incredibly ashamed and embarrassed about my lack of driving. I hate seeing really young kids getting their licence's and cruising around town while I sit here and go "Mom, can you take me to the store?" I shouldn't feel that way, but it just reminds me of what a pathetic loser I am and I get so upset/jealous/emotional/angry/embarrassed/ashamed. I have self-esteem and confidence issues. Welcome to the life of an anxiety sufferer.

I was interested if Michael ever got a driver's license (I like googling things like "I'm 23 and don't have a driver's license" because it makes me realize there are other people in this world who are like me. Is that weird? I don't care, it makes me feel better about myself). Being famous since the age of like 5, he technically didn't need one. He had chauffeur's and limousine driver's to get him where he needed to be. Also, being so famous, it's not like he could just jump in his car and go drive to the store whenever he felt like it. He'd be followed and mobbed! So sad.

So I googled when and if Michael Jackson ever got a driver's license and I came across this fantastic website and story shared from Michael's mother Katherine's book, My Family. I was still 22 at the time (this was only a couple of weeks ago) and I was ecstatic to read, AND I QUOTE: "He'd finally gotten his driver's license in 1981, at the age of twenty-three. Initially he didn't want to learn to drive."

THIS MAKES ME SOOOOOOOOO INSANELY HAPPY!!! :):):):):):D

I can't even describe the joy I feel reading this!! You have got to read the entire story HERE! It's amazing!!! I also love reading that Michael was a terrible driver, hahahaha!!! Maybe it's because I feel that I am also a terrible driver.

Proof! Haha
 (around minute 1:25)

The reason why this makes me SO HAPPY should be pretty obvious. Something I have severely struggled with and HATED about myself (driving and my lack of doing it) has taken on a whole new meaning for me! The fact that someone I admire and respect so much didn't get his license until the exact same age I am today, while in the process of getting mine, is just so unbelievably special. :`) *tear* I just felt so connected to him (again). I doubt Michael was as scared as I am to drive, but the fact that he didn't even want to drive and then when he finally did it was at age twenty-three!!! MY AGE!! The age I will be getting my license!! For some reason this fills my heart and soul with extreme joy and happiness!!

A fitting song to go with today's topic in the Michael and Me series :) I read that he wrote this song after his own experience being pulled over by a cop (you can read about that in the link above). Fun song and GREAT video! I love it!

Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You"

Song: Morticia and Gomez Addams Love Song: "Rot Next to You" Artist: The Hound + The Fox Wow this is so good! 🥀 So, funny enough, I just watched the 1990's Addams Family film for the first time eva a couple days ago and then  this video pops up on my youtube feed (if this isn't proof that the government is stalking us through technology IDK what is! 😱). Anyway, even though I didn't care for the movie all that much, I thought this song captured Morticia and Gomez perfectly! And it's actually a really, beautiful love song for Halloween time! I especially like the bridge (and I'm pretty sure it's a direct quote from the movie because when I heard them singing it I was like "That sounds familiar...." 🤔). We all need somebody to rot next to at the end.... 😂 Sorry about the dark humor 😈🖤🥀 I see you like  A night with a full moon  I feel you like a flame  You cast a spell on me  I like how you make me weak  I play you like a game  I hope w...

Siren Call

Song: Siren Call Artist: Hanson This song is off of Hanson's Fan Club EP: Loud (2016). I have been slightly obsessed with this haunting song as of late. This song is about dealing with depression ( Zac Hanson even said so ! Be forewarned, explicit language is used in this video. I'm so sorry). Once I heard Zac explain the meaning and message behind this song it made so much sense to me! I have always loved it and I've always known it had a powerful message but I could never quite figure out what it was. This song is about struggling. Being weighed-down by the burdens and challenges life brings to each and every one of us. When we stop and allow ourselves to "give in" to the pain and sadness that comes with the stress of life, that's when we begin to slip and fall into a deep depression. That's when our "Siren's Call" us. And pull us down. No straighter path than to struggle .... This is perfect. And it's true. Life is a constan...

Song: Sally's Song and Corpse Bride Medley Artist: From Youtube I found this really creepy, cool medley/cover on youtube. I really like it! Major  Halloween  vibes from two  Halloween  inspired movies. The  Corpse Bride  lyrics were written by the person who posted/sang this song. She does a great job! Thanks for sharing  Trickywi ! I sense there's something in the wind That feels like tragedy's at hand And though I'd like to stand by him Can't shake this feeling that I have The worst is just around the bend And does he notice my feelings for him? And will he see how much he means to me? I think it's not to be Under a tree at quarter three, I had some hope in me But life was taken from me, but I did not feel peace I made a vow within my gown that love will come to me But there he is and suddenly I had been found I adore him What will become of my dear friend Where will his actions lead us then? Although I'd like to join the crowd In thei...
