Growing old disgracefully.
I was chatting with Viv today and she was telling me about a phone call she got from Martinez who was at the New Kids on the Block concert. *SHIT* See, Viv and I have been wanting a New Kids reunion since that MTV show about reuniting bands and they flat out refused because Jordan, or wait… Danny (the really ugly one) was too busy driving his stupid kids to school. Hey, I’m all about being a good dad but seriously, doesn’t satisfying the needs of middle aged housewives who used to be tweens whose walls were covered in pics of you from Teen Beat, MEAN ANYTHING TO YOU?? We need our fix! It’s been too long! So ever since the announcement of the reunion, Viv and I have sworn we would make it to a concert (although we also agreed to not spend quite the amount we did for GM… after all, he never really went out of style…) Well, we haven’t yet made it to one (if you know us, you’re not surprised one bit by our lack of follow through). We have however, seen their new moves (thank you youtube for entertaining us on many a drunken night). And I gotta tell ya, it’s embarrassing. (And this comes from people who learned NSync’s dance for a karaoke routine. We know embarrassing.) I’ll be the first to admit, when I was nine, I thought they were the shit. Their hip thrusting dance moves got me all hot and bothered. Or they would of if I had hit puberty. I was front and center at three NKOTB concerts- complete with leather ankle boots and an “I LOVE YOU” sign. Sad? Maybe. But not nearly as sad as their attempt to bring back their original moves. I hate to break it to you guys, you’re not 16 anymore and it shows. Please stop trying to do the “hangin tough”… you look as if you’re about to have a coronary. (Seriously, they’re sweating like pigs up there. And I think it may be time to rethink the name…)
Original concert tee baby! Yup, I've still got it!
On another note, Viv and I think we have identified the reason we’re soul mates. While every other little girl was pining over Joey and his ghey hat, Viv and I were batshit crazy in love with Donnie. We heart you Mr. Wahlberg (and not the funky bunch one), you are the tie that binds me and my best girl together. You and George, and Arizona, and virtual cocktails…

I agree that Donnie was a force that brought us together. But I don’t understand how anyone could NOT be in love with Donnie. The other guys were far inferior in both talent and looks.

Right? I mean, geez people, he had a kick ass mullet/rat tail thing going on. That was all the rage back then. Not to mention Joey was prepubescent himself and that damn hat was so very queer. But you know me, I’m all about the older, more mature dudes.
