Keepin' It Real

new-kids-on-the-block-048

Yea that is me alright. I am all about keepin' it real. Fo sure.

If you grew up int the 80's and you were not a New Kids on The Block fan then you are one of two things: a man or a liar. I guess back then you either dug the pop music or the head banging music, so I guess if you were not rocking it with NKOTB then you were with Def Leopard.

I am a self professed NKOTB fan. I still am. I will shout it from the roof tops. I had their posters plastered all over my bedroom walls. I promise, you can ask my mom. I attended three of their concerts. I bought every Bop and Teen Beat with them on the cover and let's face it, one of them was always on the cover. I had their shirts, their buttons and all their CD's. I had their videos. I watched what was back then MTV's TRL to see if their newest video was number 1. Oh yes my friends. I was going to be Mrs. Jordan Knight. Or Mrs. Joey McIntyre. Trust me.

I, to this day, still remember the words to the songs and yes even the dances. Oh man. A few years back I bought a Best Of CD and when Joey McIntyre did a solo album, I bought it too. Old habits die hard. The scary part is I still like the sound of the music. I am a Pop Princess.

Today I was over at MySpace and wanting to change my song. Last night I told Mark I was going to put Britney Spears I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman on it. But alas I could not find it. Instead I found New Kids. Yea baby. Now if you go to my MySpace page you can rock out to The Right Stuff. If you are cool you will sing along and then get up and do the dance too. You know you know it and you know you want to.

To help you out, go here. Dawg, they have all the New Kids videos. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to go get my Best Of CD, rip the songs and burn them onto my mp3 player.

You got the right stuff, baby
Love the way you turn me on
You got the right stuff, baby
You're the reason why I sing this song
All that I needed was you
Oh girl, you're so right
Said all that I wanted was you
You made all my dreams come true

Yay, someone honest about being a fan! I've been a fan for 16 years now and I will always love NKOTB.

I have to say that I love you even more now. If I knew he wouldn't read it I would even tell you that my hubby had NKOTB playing on Rhapsody a few weeks ago. Shhhh....

ha!

I need to get the scanner working on scan some of the pics of my bedroom circa 1991. I had every visible inch of space covered in posters, trading cards, beach towels, and other NKOTB goodies. I was pathetic.

And a couple years ago I bought Hangin' Tough on CD. Eric, who'd never heard of them (he's 17 years older than me you must remember), looked at the picture and laughed and how they were trying to look tough and scary, but so totally weren't.

I was in love with Jordan. I even had a rat's tail, with the only short hair cut I've ever had in my life.

I feel like I should be blushing here. I think I also still have all my videos somewhere. And a sweater and sweatshirt. Maybe even my beach towel.

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...

Why Choose It?

Judy posted a comment about being jealous at two weekends away from the kids. About how she figured it would be a long time before she got that chance. I have to admit, I thought better her than me to have the new baby. After our two weekends away and Mark joking that it was his ploy to convince me to not have anymore, I have to say.....I think it worked. After thinking about it and being able to get away so easily because the kids are bigger, I could not help but think, why go back and do it all again? If you had a choice between going out of town for the weekend or being stuck, tied down to a newborn who was feeding from your breasts every two hours and waking every three ,which would you choose? To which one might say why ever have kids at all.....fine. I have TWO. I have done it TWICE. Not only that, but for anyone who cares about it, I have one of each. One is almost seven, the other almost three. Granted Davis is not potty trained yet, but he does change his own diaper sometimes...
