Michael arrived just in a nick to get a heads up on what was happening by way of his longtime administrative assistant, Gladys Ortiz, who's been with the company since it was first established back in 1997. "Hi, Gladys, how are you," Michael asked, "Fine, how about yourself," she replied, "Great," he replied, as he was getting his information in regards to contacts and other business associates he's worked with over the years. As was greeted by Quantrell, Michael had Quantrell round up the other employees in order to start the meeting while he headed office, located on the first floor adjacent to Gladys' office next to his. Michael' office was very state-of-the art, with beautiful leather furniture; in addition, to a antique oak desk, which he purchased in Mill Valley, and large window with a spectacular view of the Pacific ocean.
As sat down at his desk, Gladys stuck her head through the asking if there was anything he wanted, or need, "No," he relied, "I'm just getting everything ready for meeting, and would you tell, Quantrell to stop in here for minute, "he asked, "All right," she replied, and she left this office. While waiting, for Quantrell to arrive, Michael called at her just check on, but in reality, he wanted to hear voice one the phone just to start his day on a positive, "Hello," Consuela answered, "Hi, Consuela, This Michael, may I speak to Maris, if she's available," Michael asked, "Hi, Mr. Jackson, it's nice to hear from you, hold on I'll see if she's available," she replied, "I'll wait no need to rush," said Michael. Maris took the phone, "Hello," she replied, "Hey, baby, How are you I just arrived at and I was thinking about you, so I thought I;d give you and see what you're up to," he replied, "I'm fine how about yourself by the way, I leave for for Paris within a few weeks and I've already got my passport; in addition, to finding the best rates for a hotel room for us for the duration our two-week stay while I'm doing the photoshoot for Vogue," she replied, "Wow, that's great, I'm looking forward to this trip and I'm counting days 'til we make love in the city of romance," replied Michael, "Oh, you need to stop you're giving me the urge right now," she giggled, "I know that's why I called you", said Michael, "On my way home from work, I'm going to get my passport and all the necessary documentation I need, it was nice talking to you, but I got go, I have within 5 minutes, you take care of yourself, honey," Michael replied, "I Will" said Maris and she hung the phone.

Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...
Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Let them hate we dont care right? if you will comet why you love and care for Michael Jackson our King of Pop
The owners of the Neverland Ranch -- the former home of Michael Jackson -- want to turn the property into a teenage music haven.
TMZ has learned Colony Capital wants to develop a business plan to turn Neverland into a small music institute -- similar to The Juilliard School in NYC. The plan is to teach teens all aspects of music, including writing and performing.
Colony wants to turn the property into a campus, in which scores of teenagers -- rich and poor -- can learn the trade that made Michael Jackson a legend.
There are two big stumbling blocks. The first is making sure Santa Barbara County will sign off on such a project.
The second -- and bigger issue -- is whether Colony Capital can use Michael Jackson's name to promote such an institute. TMZ has good news for Colony .... sources directly connected with the Michael Jackson Estate tell us, "It's an interesting idea and we'd be open to it."

The world was in great depression,
the custody for your kids was in session.
There was too much buzz around,
all I wanted to hear your voice your sound.
I wish you hadn't gone,
all you had to do was sing one more song.
I'm writing this to you.
your death has made me blue.
Why did you pass on June 25, 2009?
"This is it" last concert then you had to resign.
On my continuation my friend
told me you had passed you were dead.
God decided he needed you,
I respected the things you used to do.
Your songs were good, great,
to me and the music world you were a saint.
Jesus decided he wanted you my friend,
you and I know that your music is not at an end.
The world kept talking about him,
the planet and the sun now seemed a little less bright, dim.
Goodbye you were a story, a light,
see you later and when I see you, you will be a sight.

TMZ has learned Michael Jackson's tomb has been defaced by a stealth band of vandals -- who have marked the walls of MJ's mausoleum with hidden messages ... and it's all in permanent ink.
Security at Forest Lawn in Glendale, CA is on the lookout for "fans" who have been writing messages in hard-to-spot places outside the main window of the building in which MJ is entombed.
The writing is mostly hidden underneath ledges -- or in spots covered by bushes -- and contains messages like, "Miss you" and "Keep the dream alive."
Reps at Forest Lawn are pretty ticked off -- telling TMZ, "Activity such as this, is a prime example why we are evaluating the level of access to the various entrances of the Great Mausoleum."
Forest Lawn also tells us that anyone caught vandalizing the cemetery will be banned for life.
