I am a person who likes to sing. I may not have a voice, but once in a while let me enjoy the moment.
I am a person that likes to dance. When I do, don’t tell me to stop feeling the music through the expression of my body’s language.
Can I get some satisfaction for my self once in a while?!
One year ago today, I met my best friend and love. I wasn’t looking. I wasn’t expecting what would become. I am thankful that we found each other regardless. We’ve shared many good times and like any young relationship have had our share of trials, in which I’d like to believe has only staged growth for us to be an even stronger couple.
I know, my self, I'm better with him beside me. He not only encourages and supports me, he inspires me to be an even better individual. I’ve never met any one like him. I honestly do value him on so many levels, an amazing boyfriend, companion, confidant and man in general. With that said, I could kick my self, which I do often, bc I know I can be difficult, but I even at times don’t know how I deserve such a great person and fear that this is still too good to be true.
I love you Nik so much more than you could ever possibly realize. Here’s to growing better together. I hope we have many more years.
Happy Anniversary!

Elizabeth Taylor made one of her last public appearances at Michael Jackson's 2009 funeral, seated in the front row in her wheelchair.
The actress – who died wednesday of congestive heart failure at 79 -- and singer became fast friends after they met in the 1980s, when, according to the New York Post, Taylor left one of Jackson's concerts -- and he called her afterwards in tears to ask why. She explained that she couldn't see the performance or hear the music.
"Then we met, and spent more and more time with each other, and just became really good friends. Told each other everything," Taylor said in 2006.
They bonded over their "horrible" childhoods, which she said was destroyed by becoming famous as kids. Indeed, Taylor achieved fame at age 12 in National Velvet, Jackson began his career at the age of 5 as the lead singer of the Jackson 5.
They remained close, despite a 27-year age difference, as Jackson faced child molestation accusations and a trial. She always defended him, saying she'd spent nights at Neverland Ranch as well without seeing anything.
"There was nothing abnormal about it. There was no touchy-feely going on. We laughed like children, and we watched a lot of Walt Disney. There was nothing odd about it," Taylor said then.
He often attended her AIDS charity events, and they hit red carpets together.
They even lived nearby in Bel Air and Beverly Hills.
According to some reports, Taylor first called Jackson the "King of Pop" when she presented him with the Soul Train Heritage Award in 1989.
"I've met a lot of people in my life, and very few are real, real friends," Jackson said in a 1993 home video. "I can probably count them on one hand. Elizabeth is one of the most loving, loyal, caring people that I know."
The Post says she was deeply affected by Jackson's death as her own health continued to decline.
"I'm home from the hospital sore, but intact. Of course I'm still grieving for Michael . . . I always will," Taylor Tweeted shortly after Jackson's 2009 death. "My heart . . . my mind . . . are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together."
Taylor also referred to their friendship as "the purest, most giving love I've ever known… I don't think anyone knew how much we loved each other."
In a statement released Thursday, Jackson's sister, LaToya, said Taylor was "an incredible friend to my brother, at his side through some of his most difficult times, and, of course, loved by his children and our family. She will live on in our hearts forever."

Pictured above with her best friend and second son, Michael Jackson, who proceeded her in death.
It was her unwavering loyalty to MJ that truly made me admire Elizabeth’s heart of gold.
Throughout the past three decades, Elizabeth was accompanied alongside her friend MJ on regular occasion.
Another one of my fond memories of ET was her role as Helena Cassadine in the early 1980s on day time program, ‘General Hospital’, which was a regular event to watch every weekday immediately after school with my Mother.
Elizabeth Taylor was so much more than just a dear good friend to Michael Jackson or even an evil villainess character on a major soap opera, she was a child prodigy, film screen legend, Hollywood elite and fierce humanitarian for AIDS causes. The photos above are simply my favorite memories of this amazing woman within my lifetime and generation. She will be missed by many genres definitely. RIP Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury are two musical icons who left the world far too soon. The “King of Pop” and the eccentric leader of Queen, one of Britain’s most acclaimed bands, collaborated several times in the midst of their chart-topping ascents in the ’80s.
And though they were not officially released as songs featuring the twosome together, what they did do was lay the blueprint for what became Jackson’s smash with Rolling Stones star Mick Jagger, “State of Shock.” But today 411 Mania reports that “Shock” and other unfinished songs may be dropping soon.
Queens drummer Roger Taylor was recently quoted saying, “We are now working on some never-before-released songs that Freddie made with Michael in the early 80′s. I’m not allowed to say too much about it but they sound incredible!” As a fan of both, I’d love to hear what the two were cooking up almost 30 years ago. But without them to okay the finished products, it might be better either being released as they are or not at all.”
Jackson’s reps have not yet responded to inquiries asking whether and when the songs will be released. What do you guys think of the forthcoming songs? Should they be let out of the vault? In what form? Anxious to hear them? Let us know.

A longtime fervent supporter of the LGBT community, La Toya Jackson will compete to raise funds and awareness for AIDS Project Los Angeles on a dramatic new season of Celebrity Apprentice, which premieres March 6 on NBC. As the 54-year-old singer-songwriter readies to release her long-delayed 11th studio album, Startin’ Over, she explains why APLA has become as important to her as it was to her brother Michael.
The Advocate: Why did you choose AIDS Project Los Angeles as your charity organization on Celebrity Apprentice?
La Toya Jackson: My brother is in the Guinness Book of World Records for giving over 400 million dollars to charities around the world, and AIDS Project Los Angeles was one that was very close to his heart. When I was approached to do Celebrity Apprentice, I thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to bring some awareness to APLA.
