Super Senior Social

So the critics are slamming this movie as a homogenized version of the King of Pop’s story. Well, maybe the fans are just lactose intolerant. Who wanted to see a movie about that ‘milk’ anyway? Sure, there was SO much omitted or better put… SO much still to be told. It just wasn’t happening in 2 hours. Why not make it a celebration? There was a lot to celebrate. To tell the whole story, you would need about a 12 episode made for TV mini-series. And that still might not be enough to satisfy a lot of people.

I enjoyed this condensed semi-biopic. It was packed full of music and life. Jaafar, Colman, and Nia delivered awesome portrayals of Michael, Joseph and Katherine. It takes you back and has you tapping your toes in your seat. It’s the Good and the Bad… just not the Ugly. And for an entertaining trip to the movies, I’m ok with that.

It’s like climbing out of a well. I almost felt buried alive. My life was not my own. It belonged to my job, to my son; or better put, my son’s recovery from his broken ankle. I left the job and my son’s ankle healed. Hopefully, so have I. I’m Super Senior again. I’m back.

I know NObody cares ’bout them gray hairs
down there.
But I do. Even though it’s been years
since ANYone has even come over to visit;
much less spent the night. I still loathe
the very sight of them hideous gray hairs.
They yell and they tell ANY and EVERYone in
earshot ‘Hey!’ She’s a really REALLY, old lady.
Ain’t that shady? Put my bizness all on blast.
I got my lacefront, acrylic nails, and makeup on fleek, shaper
got every lil roll cinched tight as a knot. .Spot On! I’d swear it all
takes off 20 years …or OK…at least 20 weeks.
But trust & believe it Miss: there ain’t NOwhere to hide them
down there gray hairs. I think it’s time for electrolysis.

Watched all 8 episodes & I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. Ugh!!!

Felt a little fluffy… and overly sweet, like cotton candy. But definitely refreshing after two raunchy seasons of Beauty in Black.

My 48 (going on 14) year old recently had an accident on his scooter, broke his ankle, subsequently lost his job through the temp service and the room he was renting weekly. After a harrowing stint barely surviving in a ‘tent city’, he asked to come home. Another in a seemingly unending long road of meandering mistakes, missteps, mishaps and misfortune.

Aren’t adult children supposed to take care of their aging parents… and not the other way around? I left home after high school, a couple years in college and NEVER looked back. Should I point the finger at myself for poor upbringing? I thought I’d taught him good morals, basic common sense and survival skills. But he decided to take the path less traveled turning down every dark fork in the road. Do some people just seek misery or just relish in being saved? …Over and over and over again?

At what point do I stop rewarding bad behavior under the guise of helpful, loving parenting? Would I be an awful parent (or person for that matter) to FINALLY just say No…? Could I live with that decision knowing I have the resources to help? The image of him alone, lifeless in a gutter somewhere keeps me coming back for more. But does the punishment fit the crime? I know… I brought him into this world. Am I obligated to keep supporting him financially, keep propping him up whenever he falls down, keep forgiving him as he continues to make bad life choices?

Is this what they call unconditional love? Well… it sucks rocks.
