Its a LONG Tweet.. @DonnieWahlberg @joeymcintyre @jordanknight @Jonathanrknight @DannyWood @JennyMcCarthy
As an awesome first half of summer comes to an end & everyone says their thank you's, I wanted to say mine as well. It is not very often in life that events or people come along outside of your family that you feel connected to or that effect you in a great way. Well, in my life I actually have been fortunate enough to experience this but, not really until recently. Like most girls back in the mid 80s through the 90s I was totally taken by a group of 5 guys known to world as the New Kids on the Block. My fandom went back all the way to the first cassette I ever received with Popsicle on it (yea, I am oldie Blockhead lol) I had so much NKOTB stuff that I would have probably needed my own storage facility to pack it all into. Now, back then I was pretty young so, I LOVED every New Kid but one, lol...I was not a Donnie fan and NOT for a bad reason but, come on D, you were the bad boy and being as young as I was, it just totally wasn't my thing (at least I am honest right?)
Well of course as time went on and everyone grew up, I NEVER lost my NKOTB love, I defended them at any insult or joke cracked and would even yell at the TV when jokes were cracked regarding them but, it wasn't as hardcore as it had been before, the Blockhead in me was there but, she got buried. Then a few years ago I just happened to be cruising through my TV and happened to see that "hey look, a show with the Wahlbergs hmm, I want to watch that" the connection started right when that show came on. I started watching and seeing a totally different side to one of these New Kids and it wasn't a fan love that grew, it was respect. Watching a man from a family that is just so real, loving, humble and have the biggest hearts I have ever seen I totally grew into a Donnie Girl. Its not a love thing in the romantic sense at all (I am happily engaged and love the Mrs, that's her man) its like I described before, its a respect, a connection. It is seeing someone that if I met them and nobody knew who he was, I would still want to be friends with him. The people you surround yourself with help to define you and who you are and who you want to influence your life and not only Donnie is that type of person but so is his wife and his entire family (which includes Nacho and Drama fucking amazing dudes).
So, also in watching this and learning more about this man and his family I was able to be introduced to someone whom I have been a fan of since I was younger, the Mrs, Jenny. This woman is just simply amazing with the same big heart, same humble attitude, grateful, kick ass sense of humor and an advocate for her child. I got to learn more about her as well through the Wahlburgers show and then this year she and Donnie got their own show!! Which or course, made me super excited to be able to see more of them together. I think that my connection to Jenny grew in one moment in that show. There is something that Donnie and Jenny always do and its called "I love you more than....." well, they do it at the end of each of their shows and I had seen a lot of people saying "oh thats just for the show, thats for how people look at them" but no, it wasn't. Jenny showed Donnie of she and a young Evan sitting on a porch swing and out of Jenny's mouth came "I love you more than..." right there, that moment. That moment showed me that Jenny took something intimate between herself and her son and she brought Donnie into that she made that a family thing for the 3 of them and nothing but mad respect and a new fan-girl of course came out of me.
Now, lets talk about where everything just boiled over. I heard about the Main Event tour and bought tickets instantly the moment they went on sale.... <<<<<< N.B from Jumbotweet: auto-truncated at 4K characters on index page - Click here or on the "view" link to see entire jumbotweet! http://www.jumbotweet.com/ltweets/view/115560
