I really miss those. Like when it was 100 people and half were parents.. and we just stood there dancing and looking up at Joe embarrassing himself. Those were really prime. And I miss them.. But then again, I like seeing Joe embarrass himself in from of 16,000 people.. its fun hahaha.
But yesterday, a lot of things came into perspective.. especially when we were driving and almost got in a car accident. That was wonderful. But I remember who those boys are.. and how weird Nick is when he laughs, and how funny Joe is, and how 'chipmunk' like Kevin is. And it made me smile.. mostly laugh, but smile. Because I realized that they still are "our boys" and we can never change that. Once you have met those boys once and had Joe laugh at you, or one of Kevin's hugs, or seen Nick blush.. it's over. You're hooked.
It's like a drug. And most drugs.. are bad. I think this one has its good.. and has its bad.
Pros:
- When you are in LA, you can always see them somewhere.. Even if it's on a billboard.
- If you think about it, you have met them, I mean, how many people can say that?
- Not many.
- And how many people can say that they have a poster that Joe Wrote: "Nicee. I like!" on it?
- NOT MANY.
- And how many people can say that they got a Nick picture when he smiled? NOT MANY.
- And how many people can say they got to see them when Joe's "area" and his legs were getting blood flow? NOT. VERY. MANY.
- And how many people can say they heard Nick perform "Nick J Is Off The Chain"?
- And how many people heard him perform One Day At A Time? NOT MANY.
- And what about "6 Minutes"? NOT MANY AT ALL.
- And WHAT ABOUT "I AM WHAT I AM"? How many people can say they heard that song?
- And "Yo Ho?" NOT MANY NO NO NOT MANY.
- And how many.. can say that they saw those boys, when they came on stage to "Snap Yo Fingers"? I can.
I can say it. I can say all of those things. Especially the Snap Yo Fingers one.. because Nick was such a dork. Hahaha.
And how many people can say they KNEW he had diabetes before he announced it? I can.
I guess that all this time we have lost sight of what's wrong and what's right. We wanted this, we voted for this, we made people buy their albums.. so why are we complaining? Because we aren't getting credit? Well, did you expect to get credit? You aren't the ones singing on stage for 2 hours every night. You aren't the ones going on non-stop tours. You aren't the ones who have to wake up at 2AM and get off the bus to go into the hotel to sleep. You aren't the one who can't even go see a movie without being bombarded by fans. You aren't the ones who have to wear sunglasses and scarves and hats while you are in public. You aren't the ones who don't get to have a personal life. You aren't the ones who can't have a girlfriend/boyfriend because you never see them. And you aren't the ones who gave up any sign of a normal life for the one everyone led you to.
SO WHY ARE YOU PISSED OFF? If you are like me, you are the one sitting out in the rain for 8 hours to by tickets. You are the ones sitting in the back of the 16,000 ampitheatre, with your poster that says "'05 & '06 FANS!" You are the ones crying during every song because you think they have "changed". GO LOOK AT YOUR PICTURES FROM WHEN YOU WERE 13 AND THEN NOW. Tell me you haven't changed, and I will show you 4567895678 people who have. If you think that you are going to sit there, and something is going to magically happen like, KEVIN is going to remember you from 2006 Bamboozle, think again. Don't just sit there and wait for something to happen.. do it for yourself. You are the one that was there on the way up, and will be there on the way down.
Sit in the back, and scream your loudest.
Cry during every song, cry your hardest.
Laugh when they are being dorks, laugh until you cry.
Remember all the times you had, because they won't be forgotten.
Forget all those fans who think they are the shit, because they aren't.
But mostly, remember the boys for who they were, they'll come back.. just let them have their moment.
And overall, support them. Can I get an AMEN?
