A Day in the Life....of a NKOTB & my Life as a Blockhead

No one completely understands us... I guess it takes a Blockhead to know a Blockhead..

These guys grew up with us.. For some they were the older Teenage Heart Throbs that they looked up to.. And for some (like me) they were the same age.. Old enough to drive but to young to drink.. Discovering ourselves.. Graduating High School & trying to figure out who we were..

They were the Biggest Teen Sensations, every single one of us just wanted to hang out with them.. Then it just all faded into the Past..None of us really gave it a second thought. We were growing up & getting on with our lives.. Packing up the posters, dolls, buttons & putting them away for safe keeping not really knowing why.. Little did each of us know.. That all of us were doing the same exact thing all around the world...

Then one day 20yrs after it all began.. there was a hint of a return. Could it be? Not really wanting to get to excited, our hopes up just to be dashed that the Guys could be making a return..

I was just as excited as everyone else. But I chose to hide it more so then others. Why? No reason really, I just chose to be the closet fan.. Then out of no where they were back. As if 15 yrs had not passed.. We had gotten older. Started Family's, Lost Loved ones & lived alot in those years that they were gone from the scene..

Its amazing to find out that the words in Joey Song is true.. There were a million other sisters out there & quite a few brothers as well, that had the same dreams I did. That packed all of there posters & videos away for safe keeping just like I did. A million other people Just like me.. I was no longer alone.

In the last 2 years I have made some amazing new friends all because of these guys. From all over the world. Friends that I would have never met, some I know i will have for the rest of my life. Friends that feel the exact same way i do, when all the rest of the world thinks I am crazy... Thank You New Kids on the Block for coming back into my life & making me feel like a Teenager all over again.. and Thats OK!!
