Chilling Text Messages from Debbie Rowe
According to Fox news, Debbie Rowe wrote the following text messages to a close friend:
“My lawyer is telling me I have to take some responsibility about the welfare of the children,” Rowe wrote in a July 5 email to White. “Do I want the kids? Hell no. Does it look good for me to ask for them? Absolutely. I don’t want to look like the woman who gave away her kids and just forgot about them.” Read more here
While we know people lie, cheat and say whatever they think they have to publicly, even when they don’t believe it, isn’t it hard to believe when you see it for real–like this above?
Debbie Rowe is one cold, calculating and callous woman, and a woman who I would not trust in any circumstance. The only priority in Debbie’s life, in my opinion, is Debbie.
“To The Best of My Knowledge…”
Dr Arnold Klein, Michael Jackson’s dermatologist, was interviewed by Diane Sawyer last week and was asked if he was the father of Michael Jackson’s children. His response is certainly eyebrow-lifting when he said, “All I can tell you is to the best of my knowledge, I am not the father of these children.”
What? Does he have a habit of depositing sperm in strange places? Is he suggesting to us that perhaps he over-indulges in drinks/drugs and can’t recollect this stuff??
Give me a break!
Dr. Klein goes on to say, “Push comes to shove…uh…I can’t say anything about it, but to the best of my knowledge I’m not the father of these children, okay?… I can’t answer it in any other way because you know what? I don’t want to feed any of this insanity that’s going around…”
Isn’t he doing just that–feeding the rumor mill? Clearly, Dr. Klein knows where he left his sperm and if the children of Michael Jackson are potentially his biological children or not.
Why isn’t he leveling with us? Is he afraid of being scrutinized like Debbie Rowe?
Photos Can Be Misleading
Many of you have asked me to comment on photographs over the years and I have a policy of not doing so because freeze-framing milli-seconds can make things appear as they aren’t. They can be inaccurate and misleading. With the Obama photo below, it was harmless so I gave in, but this is why I normally never comment on emotions or reactions in photos:
Photo no longer available
Obama in Italty Photo Interpretation
Photo Not Available
What is interesting about this expression of Obama is that I don’t believe there is one universal meaning for it. It’s a forced expression. It could represent several things.
I could see the following being applicable to this photo with Obama thinking any of the following:
- “What do you think of this?”
- “Check it out, pretty cool, eh?”
- “Not bad”
- “Not bad. I like it!”
- “Wow. That’s pretty awesome.”
- “Cool.”
I don’t think there is one right answer here.
I think for me, I would interpret the photo to mean, “Not bad. I like it!”. I see positive emotions and not negative emotions. As some of you pointed out in the comment section in the previous post, if there was disapproval, I suspect the eyebrows would be lowered, or perhaps there would be wrinkles on the forehead (more pronounced).
*Please note, I have not studied facial expressions. For me, I have an intuitive sense of understanding and I am not always good at breaking down the details as to why I feel what I feel.
