That day is one I'd never forget, it's etched in memory forever. My mother comes in to where I was and says her sister called saying Michael Jackson was in a coma and might be dead. I heard the words Michael Jackson and my heart instantly dropped. I told her it couldn't be true, and that my aunt, who exaggerates, probably had her information wrong. I really wanted it to be wrong! I immediately turned to the national news, CNN at first, then switched another channel on as well to watch both simultaneously. It was infested all over the television. I immediately started praying for Michael Jackson, it was all I could do. The time came when his death was announced, I felt sick, just wanted to throw up. My heart was hurting, and I was saddened. Just thinking of Michael Jackson and how much he meant to not only me, the world, but especially to his family, most importantly his children. A man as such was immortal in many ways. Who would've thought MJ would be dead, and so soon, young at that. A beautiful and tenderhearted man, caring spirit who taught the world to love though he wanted that love himself. None of us are perfect and will never be, no matter how much money characterizes one or how renown one becomes. It always angered me to see MJ ridiculed, how people could be so cruel and heartless, even now. Throughout all his trials and tribulations, MJ was still loved, supported, and never alone. You left us too soon but the goodness of your heart, love, care and legacy will always be here to stay, its everlasting! I hardly go a day without listening to a classic, never can get enough of MJJ! I always thought it was truly impossible to meet a man as such. It never crossed my mind that I could because of his stature. I always would watch old videos of the fans going insane at MJ concerts. As a kid, it tickled me but thinking back now, I would've probably been the same way, lol!
I surely can understand in how you feel pertaining to the last question. Many in this field can certainly and most definitely should learn a thing or two from Pope. It was very thoughtful of you to rescue that artistic work and give it the praise it deserves, it truly went into the right hands.
damn u have a great look,glad you're back! cant wait for ur match against kurt at victory road, the last match you two had was really great, love ur ring work! love your new "codebreaker" finisher too.
Pope.. I can relate thoroughly with how you describe that day last June.. It was surreal for me as well. Everyone knew how much Michael meant to me growing up. I looked up to him and was in awe of his talent and charisma. He was larger than life to me growing up. I never stopped being a fan.. despite the controversy and ridicule.. When the critics turned their backs on him and the public snickered at his eccentric ways I always held a dear place in my heart for him. The day he passed away, I pulled into the driveway and at that point, nothing had been announced. I went to turn off the car and heard the news on the local radio station. I cried so hard... I had no idea until that point how much he really was a part of who I as a person. I cried that day like I lost a friend and to me, I did. You took the words right out of my mouth with everything you said and I still cannot believe he is gone, but your right about him not being dead.. He will live forever and a new generation is coming to appreciate his music as fate would have it and I now appreciate his music along with my 13 year old daughter and it is a bond that I never thought we would share together. As a matter of fact.. I taught her the dance to Thriller not to long ago..! I cannot name 1 or 2 songs I love because I cant think of 1 or 2 that I dont.. I love them all from the well known to the least known. Thanks for taking the time to post your story.. It was great to read and well written!
That is actually the other one from Invincible that I was gonna refer to. Your Absolutely right. Whenever I hear that song, I think about MJ's last breath, and visualized his spirit detaching from his body. The song says, "Tell the angels no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone, if the angels to me from this earth, I'll tell'em to take me back to her, that's a chance I'll take, heaven can wait." But As I visualize his spiritual detachment from the flesh, I don't believe that he would've took the chance to stay here on this earth, where he's been thru nothing but HELL. After he saw the light, I doubt he wanted to return here.
MJ without at doubt is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME... In reverse with your story I was the one to call my mother about the news... We both were VERY heartbroken with the news.... I also remembered the track HEAVEN CAN WAIT (Which is a very good track for those that havent heard the tune) ... His legacy should live on to the test of time... Glad to see someone else that is TRULY and MJ fan..and not a bandwagoner.
Pope, thank you for all that you do and for giving us your spoken words. It means a lot. I honestly would have never thought that Vince would be down to earth behind the scenes!
Interesting Pope, I bet that you have tons of stories and encounters from days of when you was a cop on the force. That sounded like one quick thinking tussle handled with swiftness, I can just imagine Pope and Bruce Leroy!!
Law enforcement personnel have to endure so much in their profession. With the story that hit the media last week pertaining to the officer and the young girl, in my opinion, it could have been handled differently. I understand the quick thinking of what one has to do in a career as such, because your life is always at stake and on the line. He punched a woman and that wasn't a very wise thing to do. But he was also surrounded by several bystanders, some probably angry and questioning his duties, people who were probably egging on the situation and not helping it. In that type of situation, he really had to think quick and that punch came out as that fast thought entered. In a big city, any individual with familiarity know the city's rules and regulations. Common sense would tell someone as Southern as me from a not so large city that jay-walking would be an offense, come on now, why would this young lady be excluded from jay-walking. She seemed to be asking for trouble in her unwillingness, this whole situation could have been avoided, especially with her friend using force and putting her hands on a law enforcement officer. She deserved whatever punishment is coming to her. It will teach her to not only follow laws and respect authority, but to also have respect for herself, because she really made herself look stupid. The officer felt it was necessary to do what he did after the encounter and being without backup, who could blame him.
Anywho...to Q's & A's
Pope's living to live again, I feel you in that and if I grasped it correctly, I surely understand as we all should be doing the same. What peaks my interest is the last question, and your answer of the worst thing you've done. I'd like to say to Pope, you've repented in those ways and became a better person, son and friend to and for your mother and also for yourself. With that said and the changes you've made, the powerful love and care that you have, hold, and show to Mother Pope should be any reason not to let your heart hurt because of what you did as a kid and teenager. Through spiritual guidance, faith and love itself, you've overcome that and you should allow the hurt that sometimes penetrate your heart diminish and go away.Your mother's love and understanding is another reason, and she loved you then and she still loves you now.
Yo pope thank you so much once again for stopping by the MIA congregations table last night @ hooters man..my friends and especially me..really appreciated it & had a great time hangin wit u. I just hope dat ur opinion on ur biggest fan ain't change due to my out of character behavior as far as tryin to meet the other wrestlers towards the end of the night..I gotta admit I was overwhelmed at the opportunity & went overboard a bit. But rest assured dat ain't me pimpin..& if I get to chill wit u & the other elite members of da congregation sometime..you'll see that. Haamen
This is such a POWER image, that tell such a great story. In this iconic image you have ONE ICON w/ Three Future Legends that were all World Champions. Each MAN means so much to different demographics, they have that, so call "IT FACTOR". To sum it up YOUR looking at .
