MuchoMacho

First, I'm sorry that I pulled out this old quote, but i have been away and feel the need to answer. Is your elevator stuck in the cuckoo lounge? I came to this thread because 2 or 3 people, including a mod told me to try it. I wrote that thing about funny and silly because I was thinking of real comedians, like Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and the cast of Monty Python. They worked at being funny. I don't "work at it." I write down my stupid thoughts on stuff that strike me as being silly/funny or odd. Sometimes when I think I'm being serious, people think I'm joking, hence the fool part of my post. I guess the post itself is exhibit A. The "I don't know if you're funny..." was exactly that. I have no idea if you're funny because I'm missing some inside joke part but i did enjoy the oddness of it. Sometimes it makes no sense to me, but I'm attracted by that. The post was also an explanation to those that suggested I come here as to why I wasn't going to do it. As for the real deal thread. I had no idea there was a Sharks/Jets thing going on between the two threads. I don't care. That's between you and them. You reacted like a Vietnam Vet reacting to an imaginary "Charlie." Just FYI I have never been a member of THIS forum before. EVER. I have only one ID and it's more than I can handle. The not telling you my personal info. that's my perogative. Maybe I don't trust YOU, and I mean you in the general sense. If I was really up to no good, I wouldn't have come here like I did. I would have pretended to be a sweet, open person. I would have "opened" up and told you all kinds of "personal things" about me. Once I had your trust, I would have screwed you. Here's the kicker, you're writing about hating pretending, being honest, real, respect...It's all bull. I know for a FACT that my personal info. was obtained by duplicitious actions and possible encouragement of those in charge of this forum, and disseminated to other members. I didn't say anything because I figured I had scared those in charge with the phunkygal thing and it didn't bother me if they were checking up on me. However, once i discovered the info. had been given to other members, i became a little concerned. I didn't know who they were giving it to and it was given without my permission. Respect, indeed. I think I have made it painfully clear to those with functioning brains what I am and am not. I feel no need to spell it out for those that are slow on the uptake and fast on the offended draw. The God's inside joke thing should be obvious to those that got my personal info. It was inside joke about me and nothing to do with Mika.

I prefer silly to funny. To be really funny it takes work and goes against my lazy nature. Silly, on the other hand, any fool can do. He can even do it when he's not aware that he's doing it. I'd say you were funny but I'm not sure. It's too inside for me to tell. I enjoy reading along anyway.

How dare you. You all have blasphemed in his temple. You need to do some penance before you can join us again to worship Mika, our great Lord of the Funky Ass Dance. He needs to know you didn't mean it. You don't want to piss off the Great Ass Shake God. Repent now sinners or feel his wrath or his complete indifference. Either way it's gonna hurt.

There are a lot of things I love about Bowie. The way he doesn't seem to care about how things are seen. His fans must pull their hair out every time he makes a sharp turn in another direction. But I love it. You never know what the hell he's going to do or why. He just does it. His music is great. And I want to express my profound love for the 80's songs: Let's Dance, Modern Love, Blue Jean, and China Girl because a little sacrilege goes a long way. Thank God.

Instead of recapturing your youth, maybe it's better to capture a youth (of legal age of course). Grab a much younger buck and ride 'em cowboy/girl like there is no tomorrow. The worst that will happen is you'll get some exercise. If you are lucky, he'll put a smile on your face that will last for weeks. You will look a little crazy, sort of like Batman's The Joker, but it's all worth it. Ask Demi Moore. You can't do it with baby pics, babe. Hey Baby-No doubt You must have been a beautiful baby-BDarin Run, Run, Baby, Run-TJames & Shrondells

I loved the first two vampire books by her. The rest are not good. Each one is worse than the last one. I read an Iggy Pop bio called Iggy Pop: Open up and bleed. It was good but it had a naked picture of him and I didn't know it. I was reading along and all of a sudden there was Iggy in all his glory. It has some David Bowie in it too. It kind of had to. You can't tell the story of Iggy's life without talking about Bowie.

I wouldn't like to be famous either. Filthy rich, yes. I would like to be in a position where I didn't have the possibility of some disaster wiping me out and leaving me homeless. I want the feeling of financial security. That's personal success. I could then focus on more important things. I would like to be a well-known around the industry but not famous director or script doctor. And there's always fiction writer. I don't see what fame could bring to me. People treating me like I was special and doing whatever I asked, no matter how stupid it was? You can get that if you are rich and I wouldn't want it anyway. I like knowing who's sincere or not. Fame makes it that much harder to figure it out.

I'm going to assume you're serious and give you a serious answer. Perhaps unimportant is harsh but it's true. In the list of important people in his life, especially personal, we fans should not be up there. Even in areas such as music, we shouldn't rank that high. He can solicit our opinions if he feels like it. But he should never feel he has to. He shouldn't have to live up to our needs, fantasies, and expectations in any area of his life. We all have the right to believe whatever we want about him, just not to try to act as if we speak for him or know what he thinks. You can pull quotes of things he has said and bend it to fit whatever your point of view is. You can't prove that is what he meant. He is the only one that knows for sure what he meant and didn't mean by it. For all you know he might have been putting people on or changed his mind about it later. When it comes to Mika, I respect his right to not care what I think about his life or want/expect from him.

I like contradictions. Very useful. It's your right not to join the dirty crowd. The reason this whole respect thing is funny as hell to me is that people who are professing to have such "respect" are the same ones that would go ape**** if he really did show up in this forum. They would analyze every word in his posts and PM each other about it. Every time he logged in, it would be noted and evaluated. Somebody would PM him and if he responded well, others would follow whether he wanted them to or not. Somebody would invade his privacy and people would act offended while lapping up the info. gathered. Human nature would take over no matter what their intentions were. This respect thing reminds me of what trappers do to animals. Come here Mika, Mika, Mika. We won't hurt you. No, we'd never harm you, we respect you! Come Closer. Closer. Run Mika Run I wouldn't run but nobody ever accused me of being wise (or sane, or normal, or a fashion icon...) Mika's wise and he'll run. I know this because I know him. I never met him or anything but I can feel his wiseness. I see it every time I watch a clip of him shaking his ass. I always think, "There's a wise ass." All the other things I think about have been censored for your protection. Seriously, I must express my deep concern for Mika's safety. You're going to smother him to death with all this respect. I know you don't care. I have seen evidence all over this forum of you not caring. You see I can add 2 and 2 together and get -4 with the best of them. You heartless people. Well, Mika, my love, I care. I'll protect you from all the "I don't care" people. Come here. Come to me my poor helpless baby. Closer. Clo-ser. Btw- the secret to staying young is to never think like an old fart.

I agree with you to a certain point. Fans are fun and nice, sometimes. But expectations from people can be overwhelming. Almost every fan thinks they "know" you. And it's strange to have people come up to you expecting things from you. How would you like it if you were having dinner with someone and a stranger came up to you and asked for pictures, autograph, or never-ending conversation? Is it the worst thing in the world? No and it's part of the job. You have to suck it up and take it. Sometimes it helps to draw a line in the sand. And tell people "up to this point I'll tolerate it, pass it and all bets are off." It doesn't work with the press though because they run to the forbidden side and start digging.

I love having a thread to put my random idiotic thoughts. I don't think I can offend anyone here. Let's see. For those that are monitoring every breath I take for signs of the apocalypse: Allow Me to help you. I'm going to be reading some new posts and some old ones that I posted in but I probably won't reply to those because too much time has passed and I missed them the last time. I was trying to reassure a little girl I had no interest in harming her and people chose to read evil things into it. But I'm responsible for giving them an easy target for them to misunderstand, especially if you were looking for something. I will be wearing something appropriately hideous and a smile. I will be having melodramatic fits every time I'm interrupted and I'm always interrupted by something. I will be getting a least 1 phone call asking for me to do something, 1 to remind me of my responsibilities, 1 crank call, and 1 in which I'll be evasive to prevent unpleasant PERSONAL consequences (nothing to do with this forum). I will be listening to: Is there something I should know-DD, Beautiful Stranger-Madonna, Come As You Are-Nirvana, Whenever, Wherever-Shakira, Touch Me-The Doors, Sue Me- Guys and Dolls, Suspicious Minds-Elvis, Notorious-DD, Human Nature-MJ, You Learn

I respect Mika but I refuse to let someone else define what that means for me. I wouldn't be here if i didn't respect him. There will never be consensus on what is appropriate on anything regarding him. But pandering to the ultra-conservative is a dangerous thing. Look at what's happening in the (not so united) states. If u fart in the general direction of some people, they not only take offense but they try to have your ass removed to prevent u from offending others. This issue is not only a reflection of how u feel about such things but how u feel about Mika. Is he a delicate flower who needs protection from the "harsh" elements? If he is, he's in the wrong business. Dandelion or not, I like to think he's made of sterner stuff. He's a grown man and should be mature and strong enough to handle some unimportant people discussing some thorny issues about his life. Fans are not lovers, family, or even friends. Our opinions should rank only slightly higher than those of complete strangers. I'm not saying HE should discuss anything personal. In fact, he would be wise to give anyone trying to obtain such info. the one finger salute. Allowing the subject to become taboo is to give it and the people who want to discuss it too much power. And you're alerting your enemies that u have an easily targeted weak spot. This can't be good. And the manners thing: If i told u I'm the kind of person who always gives my seat to women and older men and I say thank you and please all the time, would u be shocked? A good person is not only about good manners. It's also about how u act towards those who are different, especially if they have less power. How you act towards the weak is what reveals you true character, not how well you treat those that are just like you and/or a more powerful. I hope I made my point respectfully.

Phunkygal, My pretty petite. We have met before. I had to go fast and it wasn't because of anything as silly as a little stalker. I was quite fond of your cheeky ass (nothing sexual meant, as if...). I was going to give you a taste of your own stalker medicine, but I have changed my mind. Although part of me believes you're more than capable of handling anything I dish out, the fact that i would be singling you out in particular and you're not even 16 concerns me. This road is closed. Ioana, It seems I have bent your nose. I hope it's not fatal. Seriously, I hope that was mock anger in your posts. If not, truly sorry. I thought you could take it. My bad.
