NKOTB

Just before I entered my teenage years and lost myself to Take That, I had another love in my life. They're called New Kids on the Block.
They're an American 'boyband'. They got together in 1984. But it wasn't till a few years later they really hit it big time. Girls everywhere went mad for these 5 American guys. Of course everyone had their fave. Mine was always Joey.

They were the first concert I ever went to. I was 10 and went there with my cousin (and best friend at the time), my mum and her dad (my uncle). I can still remember my cousin and myself going absolutely mental when these guys came on stage.  Our dream had come true. My mum, who'd been forced to listen to NKOTB's songs all day long, could actually sing along with some of them. My uncle just sat there with his arms crossed the entire concert.

I loved these guys so much. I bought magazine and basicly everything with their faces on. I was too young to really loose myself in them. They split up in 1994. I can still remember their last album being released. But by that time my love for them had subsided as a new love had come in my life. Take That. And they took total control of my life.

In 2008 the band released a new single and album. They also began touring again. Every time they came to The Nethies I went to see them. And I loved them every time.

On May 10th of this year I again went to see them again. And again with my cousin. And this time I didn't just love them.....I fell in love with them all over again. They completely blew me away. It was soooooo much better then I'd expected. I was amazed at how much fun these guys were having amongst each other on stage. I felt like being in one of their living rooms. It felt really intimate.
That evening I experienced one of the most amazing moments in my life. The first loves in my life sang a song from my biggest musical passion. NKOTB performed Take Thats 'Back for Good'. It was a surreal and emotional moment. I felt soooo proud. Of course I filmed it.

I love their latest album so much I have it on repeat. Seriously.
I have a penpal who also loves them. She suggested I'd watch 'Wahlburgers'. It's a real life show about the burgerplace that Donnie owns with his brothers Paul and Mark. They also own a restaurant called 'Alma Nove'. Named after their mother, Alma. It's such a funny and great show to watch. I laughed out loud every single episode. It was during that show that I fell in love with Donnie. He's funny, sweet and gorgeous. I can't stop looking at him. I'm now watching a series called 'Blue Bloods'. Donnie plays a cop in it and a good one aswell. I still prefer him as Donnie. But looking at him and listening to his voice is always a pleasure.

Well, I'm off to watch another episode of 'Blue Bloods'. I'll post something soon again.
