Michael Jackson, the truth.

"If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with."

Michael Jackson

The Princess and the showman.

           Written in the stars.
Two people destined for fame. He, a born performer singing with his brothers throughout the 1970's, The Jackson 5! She, the daughter of an earl, loving, beautiful, mischievous and sure to marry her prince one day and she did! 

If you believe in astrology and fate, they were almost certain to be friends.

Seems sadly ironic that Diana passed away during the sun sign virgo, Michael's star sign and in June 2009 he left us during sun sign cancer, Diana's sign. May you both shine forever in the heavens above.

Thriller night.



With the launch of NASA'S space probe...destination, the moon...this September is the perfect month for inviting friends round and having your own "Thriller"  night! MJ loved the moon and we love our very own natural satellite too! Celebrate in celestial style with the best selling album of all time! 

How important is the moon?
One result of the tidal effects of the Earth on the Moon is synchronous rotation. You may have noticed already that the Moon always keeps one face to us - that we never see the Dark Side of the Moon (that famous double-platinum rock album by Pink Floyd not withstanding).Time is a result of our lunar observations. Be careful in assuming the Moon does not rotate. On the contrary, rotation of the moon is the same period of orbit of the Moon - 29 and a half days. This time looks pretty familiar - 1 month on the "lunar" calendar. A standard month is based on one complete lifecycle of the Moon. There are variations: A Blue Moon A Harvest Moon Specifically, a Harvest Moon is the full Moon that occurs around September 23: This represents the autumnal equinox Also occurs in the Southern Hemisphere, but around March 21 Orbit of the Moon is lowest at this time so the full Moon appears to rise quicker Because of the low orbit, the full Moon appears to rise the same time for the next few successive days. A Blue Moon does not describe its color, but the rare event of two full moons occurring in one month - hence the phrase "once in a blue moon." A typical month is 30 to 31 days while a lunar month is about 29.5 days. One can see why this is a pretty rare event. Life is a result of the tidal forces of the Moon. Isaac Asimov wrote in his "Tragedy of the Moon" 1972, that life evolved in the sea did not want to move to land. There was no reason to, no movements to force the life forms to the surface.

You are not alone, Jermaine remembers christmas with Michael.

Feeling christmassy?...all we need is snow and some warm memories. Here is an excerpt from Jermaine Jackson's book about MJ, "You are not alone".


"At our window, we viewed everything from a cold, gray world, looking into a shop where everything was alive, vibrant and sparkling with color; where children played in the street with their new toys, rode new bikes or pulled new sleds in the snow. We could only imagine what it was to know the joy we saw on their faces. Michael and I played our own game at that window: pick a snowflake under the streetlight, track its descent and see which one was the first to "stick." We observed the flakes tumble, separated in the air, united on the ground, dissolved into one. That night we must have watched and counted dozens of them before we fell quiet. Michael looked sad—and I can see myself now, looking down on him from an 8-year-old's height, feeling that same sadness. Then he started to sing:
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Oh what fun it is to ride, In a one horse open sleigh . . ."
It is my first memory of hearing his voice, an angelic sound. He sang softly so that Mother wouldn't hear. I joined in and we started making harmony. We sang verses of "Silent Night" and "Little Drummer Boy." Two boys carol-singing on the doorstep of our exclusion, songs we'd heard at school, not knowing that singing would be our profession."
