Blockheads - How cool!!!

60 - 20 - 20
"@DonnieWahlberg 60-20-20. 60% simply fans, 20% super hard core, 20% come out for big events only. That's a fair and simple ratio."
That probably is a good ratio. Seems that some are not taking this so well.
This is my opinion.
(this is not a rant or a vent - just my opinion.)
I've been a fan since 1988 and I consider myself a HARDCORE fan. But, let me also explain this. I have been to a total of 4 NKOTB concerts 1st -1990, 2nd - 2008, 3rd & 4th - 2009. I attended Donnie's "I Got It" party in Atlanta and Jordan Idol in Atlanta. If Joe had of come close to my area, I would have went to his show also, I mean, come on, I'm a Joe Girl!
I consider myself hardcore because I still have stuff from back in the day, and have added to that collection in the past 2 years.
I consider myself hardcore, because I still record things on TV that they appear on.
I consider myself hardcore, because I love those 5 guys. They are my brothers.
I consider myself hardcore, because I'm a member of the NK Army, and very PROUD of it.
I consider myself hardcore, because I follow them all on Twitter, and when I get a tweet from one of them or one of my sisters get a tweet from them, I get emotional.
I consider myself hardcore, because when one of my sisters call me at 2am after a concert, telling me that Jon Knight made her freaking year, I get emotional and we cry together.
I consider myself hardcore because when one of my sisters calls me at 12 midnight, telling me that she sat in Donnie Wahlberg's lap during the Q&A session, after the DVD screening, I cry happy tears with her.
I consider myself hardcore, because I am one of a million sisters.
I consider myself a hardcore fan, because I GET IT!
While I didn't purchase a MacPack, a Coming Home DVD, a Jewlery Box, a platinum record, book a cabin on the cruise, fly to the Today's Show or attend the HOB Christmas show, it does not mean that I'm not a hardcore fan. It simply means, I could not afford them. It broke my heart that I wasn't able to buy a MacPack, and a Coming Home DVD, but I'm a single mother raising to special needs children, I have responsibilities that I have to attend to, before I can satisfy my wants.
Without having these things, does that mean I'm any less of a fan? HELL NO! I'm a BLOCKHEAD. A Blockhead FOR LIFE!!
Donnie wasn't putting any of us down, when he mentioned the percentages, it was making a comment. He loves us, and would never put us down. I know that in my heart. I've looked into his eyes and I seen the love. It's real.

Another Poem. Untitled.
K, I was just playing around today and I started writing. It was actually supposed to be a song in reply to Joe's new song "5 Brothers and a Million Sisters"... but I kind of got carried away, so now it's a poem. Fair warning though, it's a little on the long side
and it's untitled. ..... (This was wrote in April 09)
Dancin' 'round the house, had the radio blarin'
A familiar voiced filled the air, and
I stopped dead in my tracks 'cause I couldn't believe it.
New Kids on the Block had just released it.
"Summertime" is what they sang, they said it'd never be the same.
Got me thinkin' 'bout back in the day,
and how they stole my heart away.
And all these memories filled my head,
Memories I knew I'd never forget,
So I did a search .....on the internet.
A Reunion Tour is what I found, said they were Atlanta bound.
Called up my girls, gave 'em a hint, said were going on a road trip.
A blast from our past and we can't miss it!
New Kids on the Block are coming back you see.
New kids on the Block are coming back to me!
We got to the arena, found our seats.
Sitin' there waitin' as my heart skipped beats.
When they rose up from the stage, oh man, I was blown away!
Butterflies in my stomach, tears filled my eyes at that moment.
New Kids on the Block came back, you see.
New Kids on the Block came back to me!
Dancin' and singin' along with the crowd.
We didn't care how crazy, or how loud.
Lost in the moment, didn't want to be found.
We stood there, like an army, strong and proud.
New Kids on the Block came back, you see.
New Kids on the Block came back to me!
When the Spring Tour rolled around,
I called up my girls and we did it again.
Jumped in the car and headed to Greenville.
New Kids on the Block came back, you see.
New Kids on the Block came back to me!
This time, I went Five Star! Oh My God, There they are!
Twenty one years, and I can't believe it.
They look just like they did when we were kids!
Never thought I'd see this day, but God, how I hoped and prayed.
It was a dream come true, I'd have to say!
Jon was a sweetheart, his hugs were the best!
Let me tell you about the rest.
Donnie and Danny, we had a moment too.
Jordan was a cutie, Oh my god, I stepped on his shoe!
Then there was the man, with the Baby Blues,
What do I say? What do I do?
He smiled at me, and gave me a wink.
He doesn't know it, but my knees went weak!
He liked my shirt, said I was sweet.
I put my hand to my heart, had to check for a beat!
His eyes, they sparkled like diamonds.
I can't believe I didn't start cryin'!
He made my day, my year, my life.
Even though *I* was supposed to be his wife!
New Kids on the Block came back, you see.
New Kids on the Block came back to me!
Again I stood there with the crowd.
Dancin' like crazy, and singin' real loud.
I had a moment, during that show, when Joe Mac sang his solo.
"Five brothas and a million sistahs, didn't know how much I mised ya'
were the words that he said, and those words stuck in my head.
I looked around at the crowd, standing there, strong and proud.
He's right you know?
We are a family, and the love, ...it shows!
A room full of strangers, brought together by a bond
that formed twenty one years ago.
New Kids on the Block came back, you see.
New Kids on the Block came back to me!
Summer Tour they said, "Full Service" is what you'll get!
The Summer of our lives, and we'll never forget.
So, hop a train, a bus, a car, or a flight,
Just make sure you got your mind right!
Face Time is REAL. There are no fakers in this platoon.
The General has spoken, and his army is in tune!
I called up my girls, they all know the deal.
Atlanta, Ga is where we will get our fill.
The first show of the summer, it's going to be a blast!
Better get your tickets now, they are going fast!
They made history back in the day.
Some people said they were over played.
The critics think they know it all, like when a band will rise or fall.
Nobody knows how it's going to be but, New Kids have again
Made history!
They shocked the world one year ago.
The critics need to just go with the flow!
One day, they will learn, we don't give a d.amn about that they have to say, we do things the NKOTB way!
Blockheads are strong and proud. Mess with our boys,
we will put you on the ground!
We will fight to the death, if that's what it takes. We'll do anything to get the story straight!
Loud and Proud and Strong we are,
Blockheads forever, no need to say any more.
This is one army that won't be defeated,
And you, better believe it!
Anytime we get in a fix, we all get together and shout
LET'S GET THIS!
They didn't do it for the fame, money or glory.
They did it for us,
The fans, supporters,....
Their sistahs that love them adoringly!
New Kids on the Block came back, you see.
New Kids on the Block came back for you, and me!

Naughty Confession # 1
Friday, January 8, 2010
A Title
I wrote this in October. I posted it on my Ning page, but wanted to put it here too!
A Title
A title that was given back in the day,
meant to be insulting and make us stray.
A title given by haters who could not see,
Why we loved them unconditionally.
A title that bonds so many together.
A title that makes us strive to do better.
A title that takes us back to the begining.
A title that keeps us all grining.
A title full of memories, new and old.
A title that makes us feel as if we won the Gold!
A title that's grown beyond it's meaning.
A title that keeps us all feining.
A title that's shared by millions world wide.
A title that's worn with extreme pride.
A title that we all cherish.
A title that will never parish.
A title that has brought us all together.
A title that we will wear forever.
A title that's been the cause of many celebrations
A title that has again, Rocked the Nation!
What is this title you ask?
It's BLOCKHEAD... and we KICK ASS!
Are you listening,you title making misters?
Don't mess with our 5 Brothers.
Because I promise, you won't like the wrath that will
come from me and my Million Sisters!
