Want to understand the mind of a 30 something, working Norcal woman with a Psychology degree she doesn't use who happens to love pop culture and despises people who don't return email or voice mail? Well, good luck. I don't understand my own brain so why should you? It might be fun to try to figure it out though.
Why Brain Garbage? It's a term my first Psych professor used to describe one of the possible explanations for dreams and I've never forgotten it.
Joey started the Let's Get This Foundation and his first "step" as he calls it, is a book drive. Joey needs new books for kids between 0-5 years old. If you donate $10 (buys 5 books) you get a free download of his new song. Anyway, my brain is still mush from Florida so just go here, www.letsgetthis.org for all the details.
Me and my NKOTB friends in sunny (HOT) Florida. As you can see, none of them are axe murderers and nobody is crazy. We had an awesome time despite our dates standing us up.
...when someone puts their heart into something like this;
"Final" Lyrics (between me and Katie and a 100 or so listens of two different YouTube's) Friday afternoon in Boston town and Still know my way around and Trying to find a rehearsal spot for the reunion of New Kids on the Block
Gonna rip it like we used to do Good to be back too with the crew Don't know how it's gonna be but Last time we made history so
Tell your momma and your sister too the New Kids are comin back for you In my mind I knew you'd never forget but To see you again like this makes me feel like I'll never be alone
Chorus Where ever it is I'm going to Whatever I am is because of you and I thank you, and I thank you Five brothers and a million sistas Didn't know how much I missed ya Thank you and I thank you
On my way back and on to rehearse Call it What You Want but I call it love <---hehe, clever Some people said we couldn't do it again but the New Kids had the last word in the end
See what happens when you follow your dreams and See what happens when you just believe, yeah The whole world opens up her arms Everything is easy that used to be hard
Tell your momma that I love her too but Don't you know we did it all for you, cuz In my heart I knew you'd never forget but To see you again like this makes me feel like I'll never be alone
Chorus Where ever it is I'm going to Whatever I am is because of you and I thank you, and I thank you Five brothers and a million sistas Didn't know how much I missed you Thank you and I thank you
You build me up, you make me high When I feel your love I wanna fly, I wanna fly, I wanna fly (piano) And I thank you, and I thank you Wherever it is Whatever I am And it's all, it's all because of you
Five brothers and a million sistas Didn't know how much I missed you I didn't know it, didn't know it, I didn't know
You pick me, you make me high When I feel your love I wanna fly No matter what I'm goin through, Oh!
You pick me up, you make me high When I feel your love I wanna fly No matter what we're goin through There ain't nothin we can't do
(piano) And I thank you, and I thank you And I thank you, and I thank you
People often roll their eyes, make jokes, and laugh at us New Kids fans. They say they "don't get it", "the music sucks", "don't sing very well". I can't 100% disagree with any of those statements and neither can the "Kids" themselves. Nobody has ever claimed they had the greatest music or were the greatest singers. Does that mean they don't have a place? Does that mean they deserve the ridicule? The answer is no. This original song (no title as of yet), written by member (and my fave) Joey McIntyre, is the perfect example as to why we love them. It's because they TRULY love and appreciate their fans.
I did go to the Fresno show last week and it was a blast. My mom loved it. And you know what? Despite 2-3 of them being sick (Jon especially looked like he was going to pass out for most of the concert) they sang live and had the crowd up on its feet the entire show. (Unlike some super pop stars who get their music played all over the radio, tons of media attention, and then rip off their fans by lip syncing and barely even engaging the audience.) Sorry, rant over.
As you can see, none of them are axe murderers and nobody is crazy. We had an awesome time despite our dates standing us up.
