forever came today
Nobody seems to wanna answer the question I asked in my last post (bitches..). So I´ll just go ahead and dedicate the song "Forever came today" to Michael instead.
By the way, I love the Jacksons´ Variety Show version of this song, and Marlon´s "it came today, forever came today". It´s great, and his face looks hilarious while singing it.
HAHA! Peeps, I just realized the text´s form looks kinda like a person wearing a dress, carrying a bowl or something on top of her head. See?
There you are, standing there reaching out for me
Something warm in your eyes touched my heart
And all the love I never knew I found in you
Suddenly, my world, my life was standing still
And you touched my hand I knew that we had laid a plain
Foreverlasting love
I´m forever dreaming of
At last, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
Made my lonely life a paradise
It came today, forever came today
Look into my eyes and see how much I want you
Feel my touch, you know how much I need you
I may be young, but I´m old enough to know
Look at me, I will never let it go
Let this moment thrill me a lifetime
Make it last, make it last
Make it last forever
Darling, ooh, my darling, make me yours
As I touch your face, tell me love has led me
To this place and your warm embrace
Thanks to you, thanks to you my search has ended
And I want the world to see how gently love has shined on me
With everlasting love that I´ve been forever dreaming of
At last, at last
My forever came today
When you walked into my life
Made my lonely life a paradise
It came today, forever came today
It came today, forever came today
Oh, you give me love by the hour
Oh, you´re my precious little flower
Boy, you give me so much sweetness
Oh, you give my life completeness
Make it last for more than just a day
Make it last for more than just an hour
Make it last forever
oh, huh, slipped again, huh? I´ll go for once a day, but twice a day, you´re pushy!
Rebbie Bohlin presents the Fredrik Ericsson
goodness has nothing to do with it
Ahahahahahahahahahahhahahha.. peeps. A friend of mine, Sabrina, keeps adding me in pictures of Michael on facebook. She adds me in them like seven times a day. The latest pic she added me in.. well. It made my week. I laughed sooo hard when I saw it. She tagged only me in it, and named the pic "To Rebbie <3 Are you ashamed?". That was the funniest shit ever. Call me boring. I have no idea why she dedicated the picture to me of all people. Hahahaha. HHAHAHAHAHAHA. This is killing me. What are people gonna think when they´re watching pictures of me?
Here´s the pic, peeps. Guess where she tagged me, ahahahahhahahahahahhhahaha.
No, I didn´t untag myself.
Excuse me for my terrible sense of humor.
you know I´ll be there
I´m still watching Jacksons´ Variety Show, ahaha, I´ve been watching it none stop since nine this morning. Hi, no-lifer (well, actually, watching Mikey for that many hours I call a very nice life). Omg, how many hours has it been? I started at six last night, watched ´til three at night, so that´s nine hours. Then I went to bed, slept for six hours, woke up and started watching it right away. I ain´t stopping yet. Michael is so darn handsome, good gracious!
never wanna let you go
Okay, all I did from six pm last night til three am was to watch Jacksons´ Variety Show. All I´ve been doing this morning from nine til now has been watching Jacksons´ Variety Show. I´m in loooove with it. Wish I could have it playing 24/7 on a big screen on my wall. Well, a screen as big as my wall. Well, I wish I had a bigger wall. And an even bigger screen. Human-sized Michael. Mhmmm.
By the way; One question I am being asked very frequently by Jackson-fans who looked up my twitter, my phone number, my facebook.. Is, what would I do if Michael stepped forward and announced he´s well and alive? I would be the happiest girl alive, no doubt, and I would immediately jump on the next plane to wherever he is. There, now everybody gets their answer and I don´t have to write it a zillion times.
Never can say goodbye.. No, no, no, no. Never can say goodbye.. Even though the pain and heartache seems to follow me wherever I go, though I try and try to hide my feelings they always seem to show. Then you try to say you´re leaving me, and I always have to say no. Tell me why is it so, that I never can say goodbye, no, no, no, no. Never can say goodbye. Every time I think I´ve had enough, I start heading for the door. There´s a very strange vibration, piercin´ me right to the core. It says, "Turn around, you fool. You know, you love him more and more". Tell me why is it so, don´t wanna let you go. I never can say goodbye, boy, ooh ooh baby, I never can say goodbye. I keep thinkin´ that our problems soon are all gonna work out. But there´s that same unhappy feeling, and there´s that anguish, there´s that doubt. It´s the same old did ya hang up, can´t do with you or without. Tell me why is it so, don´t wanna let you go. I never can say goodbye, boy, no, no, no, no.
Although, I ain´t never leaving Michael and there would never be no unhappiness or anguish.
Darling, I´ll be yours forever ´cause I never wanna be without love. Darling, never set me free.
i´ll be holding on, holding on, holding on.. yes i will, yes i will.
(By the way, please, watch the video clip I posted in my last post. It´s so awesome.)
Look at that! Just watch this and tell me you didn´t melt.
the beat goes on
Today was my grandmother´s funeral.
In my family (which is a very huge family, my mother has around 40 cousins), we are very close. Which is unusual. A lot of families only stay close with the grandparents, the uncles and aunts and cousins you know. Me and my sister are very close to my mother´s cousins and our relatives who live in Canada even. It´s even more unusual for us as being such a big family, plus having half the family in Canada.
Gran´s funeral was very beautiful. It was all very sad of course, but people laughed and there was love everywhere. I am so proud of being part of the Liljedahl/Bohlin family.
I want to share a video clip with you. It´s a video clip that I watch several times a day, every day. It always lifts my spirits up. Never fails. It´s so adorable. It´s the Jackson 5 including Randy performing, and then in the end Janet comes in and she and Randy do a part singing a Sonny & Cher song. It´s so cute, it takes my breath away every time.
I love the part where they sing a song of a vocal group called the Andrew Sisters I think (I´m not sure if I hear him right), and when the song´s over Michael says "The Andrew Sisters!" (as if he was presenting them) and Jackie goes "but I don´t wanna be no Andrew Sister, Mike, come on", Jermagination goes "and I don´t wanna be a girl" and Randy goes "not me!". So Michael says something like (by the way, he´s such a good actor in this part. He looks real insulted when he says this) "okay. So like those warriors we´ll do it like in the army. I´ll ask of volunteers. All that wanna be an Andrew Sister take one step forward!". On this, Mike, Tito and Marlon take one step backwards, making Jermicrowave (Jermaine haha, love making up fun nicknames for that sassy name), Randy and Jackie "volunteers".
Mike yells "hit it girls!". And they imitate the Andrew Sisters.
After that, Mike sings/says "once again, the groups gained a lot of attention". Randy goes "The Beatles!", Jackie goes "Herbits!" or something like that and someone goes Fifty-something. And Mike goes "and among those magical musical teams there were three young ladies who were called The Supremes. Who were Diana Ross, Mary, Florence. The Supremes!".
Jackie goes "I ain´t gonna be no Supreme, Mike, come on, man..". Jermicrophone goes "I don´t wanna be another girl, Michael." Randy goes "I´m not gonna be no Supreme either."
Jackie goes "You know what? We´ll ask for volunteers! All that wanna be a Supreme take one step.." (here Mike, Tito and Mar Mar take one step backwards) ".. backwards." (and here Jackie laughs real cute. He´s so cute, that Jackieboy!)
So, Mike, Marlon and Tweeto imitate The Supremes, and they sing "Stop! In the name of love". It´s soooo fun and it´s sooooo sweet and Mike is sooooo hot imitating Diana Ross! I´m just addicted to that part, and to the Jackie-laugh-part.
After that, the Jackson 5 do Dancing Machine (I love that song sooo much!), a real wonderful performance. It´s so awesome, I love the choreography of that song and Mike´s robot dance.
In the end, when the Jackson 5 have left the floor, Randy and the hostess, Carol Burnett, get out on stage. It goes like this:
Carol: Hey, Randy.
Randy: Yeah.
Carol: Listen to what they´re playing (she means the houseband). I know that Sonny & Cher used to do that.
Randy: Right.
Carol: This is my chance. I´ll be Cher and you´ll be Sonny. Okay?
*Here Janet, eight years old, comes in*
Janet: Uh uh, that´s my part.
Randy: Go home, Jan, what ya doing, Jan, go home, go home.
Janet: Not until I sing my part!
Carol: What´s your name?
Janet: Janet.
Carol: You sing with the group?
Janet: In the Jackson 5 family everybody works.
Carol: Okay, ladies and gentlemen, Sonny & Cher!
Janet and Randy sing "The beat goes on". It´s sooo sweet! Janet´s little moves and Randy´s "oooooooon" (he kinda sounds like he got a hippo in his nostrils) and Janet pulling her dress up, haha! You gotta watch the entire show. It´s so great.
And no, I have no good reason for why I wrote that. It´s just for you to watch anyway.
God´s garden
God looked around His garden
and found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
and saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God´s garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He knew you were suffering
He knew that you were in pain
He knew that you would never
get well on earth again
He saw the road was getting rough
and the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids
and whispered, "peace be thine"
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn´t go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
he taught me to walk on the moon
That book.. it´s just something. Something out of this universe. Because it is written by and tells the story of a man who is out of this universe.
I am speechless. I don´t know how many times I´ve used that word when I relate to the King, but I mean it every single time. It´s the only word to describe how I feel when I am supposed to reflect over it. No one could ever give this book, this man, a fair reflection. Never.
Everyone should read this book, whether you´re a fan or not. Everyone. It´s such an inspiration, but most important of all.. It gives the world a chance to realize the truth about Michael Jackson. That he really was a normal human being who just happened to be the biggest genius of all time.
I thought I knew who Michael Jackson is. What I did know is that he´s just like everyone else. I did know that he has feelings just like everyone else, he gets hurt, he gets embarrassed, he falls in love, he has sexual urges. That is something people seem to just look past. "It´s okay if I say Michael Jackson´s a racist, because he won´t mind because people have said that so many times, he´s used to it."
When I read Moonwalk.. on every page there was something that made me gasp for breath because I was so taken by his genius. On a lot of pages, there were things that took me by surprise. Things that.. well, I can´t really describe it. I was surprised, even though it was what I expected. One thing I was extremely happy to read, and I remember thinking in that moment that this people really should read, was this particular part (it´s in Swedish because the book I read is in Swedish, I read it while waiting for it to be changed to English):
"I den sången och senare i Billie Jean, tycks det kanske som om kvinnor framställs på ett ofördelaktigt sätt. Men det är inget personligt ställningstagande. Det behöver knappast påpekas att jag älskar samspelet mellan könen. Det är en naturlig del av livet och jag älskar kvinnor. Men när sex används som ett slags utpressning eller maktmedel tycker jag det är motbjudande och ett missbruk av Guds gåvor."
This I knew already. But I know most people don´t. A lot of people think Michael is a person who sits in Neverland on a big throne wearing a crown trying to make up new weird ideas, such as buying the Elephant Man´s bones, and waste all his money on unneccessary, weird things. (Now, this is something other people think and not my own idea. I know Michael doesn´t do that, as I´ve already told you I know he is just like any other.) I think this part of Moonwalk in a way shows that Michael really is like any other man.
To call him a genius seems so little. I wish there was a vocabulary that encompassed what I feel.
run free to a place where no one dares to
(I apologize for uploading the same pictures all the time but they´re just too beautiful :)
I wrap you around all of my thoughts. forever, Michael.
As if that wasn´t enough.. all of a sudden Paris´ speech came up.
I don´t know about you guys, but I haven´t been able to watch a second of the memorial. I watched it when it was on tv live, and it was torture watching and hearing Paris. Well, all of it was torture. After that I just haven´t been ready to see it again. And now it forced itself at me. And that was the straw that broke the camels back and I went nuts and .. This was completely pointless.
Has any of you been able to watch the memorial?
you don´t climb trees? no, I don´t. you´re missing out.
- Bob Geldof
it´s hard to always laugh when you don´t know what people find so funny.
I almost had a heartattack earlier today. In all the tumult from the remake of my room, I´d lost my Michael Jackson posters! And I have hundreds of them. I couldn´t find them anywhere. Mom looked for them as well.
When I´d been looking for over three hours, I just picked up a plastic bag on my floor just to remove it, and.. of course, there they were. Reliieeeefffff! I thought someone´d thrown them away.
The world´s most beautiful woman, for sure. Janet Damita Jo Jackson.
embarrassing
I´m embarrassing.
Goodnite.
my cherie amour
Okay.
Faint.
zip-a-dee-doo-dah
Thanks to mjackson for linking me, hope everyone who found their way enjoyed their stay. I was extremely surprised to see the numbers before.
I sent them a little email because I didn´t wanna write it all over the twit-world; if you´d like to read it, here it is:
Hiii you guys! Just wanted to let ya´ll know (as if you didn´t all ready) we love you endlessly and beyond words, we really do! Will enjoy A fam dyn when it gets to Sweden and will absolutely get the DVD when it comes out! Love you so much, I would´ve never been able to go through all this SHIT without every single one of you because I lost two very dear ones that are very close my heart last year, you know who one of them is, the other one is my beloved grandmother. Without you I would´ve never been able to pull through. Never. I owe you everything, I´m sorry to say I´ll never be able to pay back.
L.O.V.E. You mean the world to me.
get on the floor and dance with me
There hasn´t been any kind of updating earlier today because I went to see two of my Canadian relatives that are here in Sweden because of my grandmother´s funeral on thursday. One of them I had never met before, so it was real nice. Especially as I had someone to speak English with.
I also got a rrreaalll nice surprise (haha, like Eddie says in Ett päron till farsa firar jul, you know?). I got my late b-daypresent from my uncle and aunt. I couldn´t have gotten anything better! I got Michael Jackson´s biography Moonwalk, and another book in the memory of Michael with loads of pictures in and text about his life. I´m so happy! Though I´m changing Moonwalk, it´s in Swedish and I haven´t read a book in Swedish for a very long time.
Janet Jackson is such a sweetheart. She´s just like Michael.
sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Every night I rush to my bed, with hopes that maybe I´ll get a chance to see you. When I close my eyes I´m going out of my head. Lost in a fairytale, can you hold my hands and be my guide?
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies, and I hope it rains, you´re the perfect lullaby. What kind of dream is this?
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, either way I don´t wanna wake up from you.
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare. Somebody pinch me, your love´s too good to be true.
My guilty pleasure, I ain´t going no where. Baby, long as you´re here I´ll be floating on air.
You could be a sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare, either way I don´t wanna wake up from you.
I mention you when I say my prayers. I wrap you around all of my thoughts. Boy, you´re my temporary high.
I wish that when I wake up you´re there, to wrap your arms around me for real, and tell me you´ll stay by my side.
