Whooops! Got a little busy, I guess…
I have not forsaken my blog. I’m actually brewing up a couple new ventures that I’ll share within the coming weeks, I promise.
I went to a couple of New Kids on the Block concerts last week and I’m still reeling. It was never this good back in the day. I’ve now been to 12 NKOTB concerts, not including 7 or 8 miscellaneous Joe McIntyre and Jordan Knight solo concerts and I don’t remember it ever being this awesome. I mean, really. I’m still singin’ and dancin’ in my car while listening to The Block. These memories will last a lifetime I’m sure.
And yes, you read that twitter correctly… I wrapped my legs around Donnie Wahlberg. It just seemed like the thing to do at the time. I mean, he hugged me like he wasn’t gonna let go and lifted me way up in the air. Rather than let my legs dangle, I was…ummm…a little more creative! I’ll be seeing him and the rest of the guys again at the end of November. I can’t even begin to imagine the hi jinx.
In the coming weeks, I hope to post some pics of the concerts and my fandom through the years. To kick it off, here’s a couple shots of my room when I was about fifteen or so.
When all was said and done I had more than 3,000 pictures on my walls and ceiling. Notice those posters in the first one? They’re hiding my window. Notice the ceiling fan to the right in the second one? It had a few pictures on it, too. I was pretty hardcore back then and these pics were taken before my whole room was complete. As you can see, there’s some empty space up there on my ceiling, but that didn’t last much longer than when this shot was taken.
I’m a little more subdued now. A little… It’s getting harder and harder to resist, though, now that they’re back and I have concert images from the shows I went to.
Life is a series of adventures and the wildest, craziest ones I’ve been on have had something to do with the New Kids one way or another, so why give up now?
