He could just get up & disappear. It’s not like he would have to be like YO I’M MOVING TO BARBADOS NOW! He could just get up & disappear.

Haha. I don’t think he would be left alone if people knew he were on an island somewhere. Haha.

I'll give your family $x million if you get surgery to look like me & pretend to be me when you die". He WAS a fan of magic tricks... But I don't know, what would be the point? So he could buy an island somewhere & be left alone? I think he could do that anyway. & yes to a motorcycle, probably a Triumph Bonneville but I don't know all the deets :> We were discussing that yesterday actually, he has enough money that he could find some dying person & be like, “Yo!

Child abuse + super stardom definitely = 0 chance at feeling normal ever. And jeez, I don't even think normal is the word here - he's one of the famous people who could make any other superstar starstruck, so even being "kind of famous" or just "regular famous" probably would have been a delight for him, y'know? Part of me thinks he's not dead too, but that's maybe just the dreamer in me. I guess I just figure if there's anyone who could fake their death it'd be him. I'm sure there are plenty of rich people who'd foot the bill for him to do that just because. Ps: What's the Dish riding to break the record? A motorcycle type thing?

I heard Teddy Riley on television last night talking about MJ & how his slogan was "never settle for anything less than the greatest" & I feel like I need to appropriate it. Reading his Wikipedia page really upset me because his childhood was so fucked up, & it made me think it would be really good to start helping abused children in some way. I emailed my friend Helen about it & she sent me a bunch of ideas as to how I could do it. It's so weird because I have been kind of anti-children for such a long time but I almost feel like I need to get over that in order to do this, which I think would be really important. I am going to do some Googling & stuff & see what I can come up with. <3 I kind of didn’t believe it on Thursday but yesterday it hit me & I was so sad about it all day.

I think I'm in some sort of twisted denial that he's really gone. Walking through the casinos, avoiding the news reports on the big screens. He was so much larger than life, how could he leave his kids behind, how could he leave all of us? Things just don't feel the same. I got your message today and I'm so glad that you understand the power that he had. It's hard to talk about him with anyone else. I haven’t cried yet.
