Geezus, it's been a minute

Oh my goodness, I haven't been blogging here. Sorry, I have 6 blogs. But anyway, what's happened since? Well, nothing much. For New Year's Eve, I celebrated Joe McIntyre's 36th birthday & New Year's Eve with some NKOTB friends. We had a cake with his picture on it. Here it is:
It was fun. We listened to his solo CDs and watched a couple of his movies til the wee hours of the night. I know I should be out partying but really, to me, New Year's Eve is just another day. I'm not a big party girl unless I'm the one hosting it. :)

I've been noticing something different about myself lately. Some more of the spring tour dates were released today and the thing is, I wasn't even excited. A year ago, I would've screamed at the top of my lungs. Actually, a year ago was when I found out about this reunion. I remember it clearly; the wave of disbelief settling into my stomach, the rise of excitement shooting through my body, giving me chills down my arms, my face, my spine, my throat. I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a joke, surreal, impossible, a dream come true. I think about my life before the reunion and it amazes me how much has changed.

I was having lunch with a couple of friends the other day. We are all artists and we were talking about projects. All I remember saying is how my life is completely suspended right now. I am unable to move forward with the projects I want to do because I am so highly enveloped in the NKOTB reunion that my previous ongoing life has ceased to continue for the time being. I don't know what to do. Believe me, I know this is stupid and I know there is life outside of this reunion but it seems to be the only thing I want to be updated about, the only thing I want to concentrate on, the only thing that gets me excited right now. Lame, right? Actually, not quite.

If it weren't for the reunion, I would never have known that you can save youtube videos. I would never have known about online storage sites. I would never have known about RSS feeds. I would never have found out about mp4s, mpgs, wmvs, or movs. I would never have met the wonderful people I have met throughout my trek across the United States. I would never have realized exactly where the source of my upbringing actually came from, why I am the way I am, and how much I missed my childhood. So no, the New Kids are not stupid, the New Kids are not immature, and the New Kids are NOT PLAYIN'.
