so sue me...

I am officially the biggest dork in the world.

Yes folks, it is rumored (and has been for a couple of weeks now) that The New Kids on the Block are reuniting.

My reaction: Hell yeah!!!

My very first concert was NKOTB, and I wouldn't doubt if my dad suffers from hearing loss after that fun-filled night 19 yrs ago. I made a sign that proclaimed, "I love Donnie 4-ever," and screamed so loud that my voice was but a whisper for several days. I also pouted on the ride home, pissed because they were sold out of Donnie t-shirts so I had to settle for Jordan. The injustice!!!

Anyways, I'm very aware that their music was silly bubble gum confection, and I doubt that anything they release now is gonna blow people away and land them on next year's Grammy's.

Still, I'm looking forward to seeing the fab-five from Boston make an appearance again.

Until then, here's a little walk down memory lane ... there were thousands of videos on youtube to choose from, but this was always one of my favs. Plus, Donnie is shirtless and when I was 9, well that was like watching porn ;)

Warning: A hazardous amount of 80's hair, shiny sequins, silk shirts, top-notch dancing, and some heart stopping pelvis thrusts @ 2:32.

I finally found your blog. My apologies for taking so long.

New Kids??? Are you kidding me? You are in fact the biggest dork in the world. Don't you dare ask me to go to any concerts with you ;-)

See you tomorrow for another fun day of truck in the snow. Bundle up.
