July, 31, 1998, when Kendra and I met Matchbox 20 at (what used to be) 'Magic Platter' in Hoover, before a show at (what also USED TO BE) 'Oak Mountain' in Pelham
~®ºß! says: "HUH?!"
"I don't want to be the guy everyone expects me to be."
-®ºß!
®ºß! & I backstage at (what I will ALWAYS call) 'Oak Mountain' on June, 21, 2006 [yes, I know I look like a 'deer caught in the headlights', and my smile is not only HUGE...but, ODD...shut it! I was OHMYGOD happy to have ®ºß! TOUCHING me!]
"...why is it the ones you love, that make it all so hard on you? Then you let it fall behind, and in the back of your mind, you feel my lovin' shine...you think you might be saved...Tell me that you want someone beside you...tell me that you want to see this through, TELL ME ALL THE TIMES THAT I'VE BEEN LOVIN' YOU, THAT YOU LOVE ME, LOVE ME, TOO, YOU LOVE ME, TOO..."

♥sigh♥
and I DID meet *sigh* ®ºß! on Wednesday, June 21, 2006 at the Oak Mountain Ampitheatre (Verizon Wireless Music Center...WHATEVER!)...& HE [GENUINELY] HUGGED ME, SEVERAL TIMES! *SIGH* read my (very, very, LOOOOOOONG) blog entry if you care to know how it went...I also met ROB! on July, 31, 1998 (just MORE proof that I am OBSESSED--as if you needed more proof--if I'm able to remember the EXACT DATE, oh-so-many-moons-ago...LOL)
THE ONE THING THAT ALL WHO HAVE EVER MET/CHATTED WITH ME SHOULD ALREADY KNOW IS, THAT I AM ABSOLUTELY
OBSESSED
WITH
♥sigh♥
(& have been, MAJORLY, for a lil' more than 10 years!
LOL...
pathetic, I know...)
I would also like to meet...
Adam Duritz--lead singer for the "Counting Crows"
(I refer to him as my "soul brother"!),
Dave Matthews, Matthew Perry, Ashley Judd, Usher (Raymond...DUH! mainly to STARE at him *sigh*), Kate Hudson, Oliver Hudson (again, mainly to STARE at him *sigh*), Sarah McLachlan (what a BEAUTIFUL woman, both on the outside-not stupid 'Barbie' pretty, but REAL WOMAN pretty-AND on the inside), Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Sean Penn, Chris Carrabba (yes, some staring would be involved, but he has such a way with putting his feelings into words, I GENUINELY respect that), Reese Witherspoon, and Will Smith (AGAIN...I would ♥ just to stare at him...but, it is his personality that makes him SO attractive)...
"I'm not CRAZY, I'm just a little UNWELL..."-matchbox twenty
"one soft, sweet song's just enough to clear my...head."
♥sigh♥
I am OBSESSED with music...I TRY to give every type of music a fair chance, 'cept "Rave/Techno" music...I absolutely LOATHE that sort of crap...I don't even consider it MUSIC...and that goes for MOST Rap music as well...MOST of my favorite things to listen to are those that are closer to acoustical sounding stuff...I'm a lyrical junkie...therefore, I like to be able to UNDERSTAND what an artist is SAYING while they are playing...(and I prefer the artist to actually PLAY an instrument while they are singing...yet, ANOTHER reason, I like VERY LITTLE rap...I DO NOT LIKE THIS NEW STUFF ALL THE 'KIDS' ARE LISTENING TO, I like 2pac & Warren G...not really "old school", but not NEW school, by ANY means...)
Some (yeah, SOME) of my FAVORITE bands/musical artists are :
♥®ºß!♥ (Thomas...DUH!)
& matchbox twenty;
Tabitha's Secret,
The Dave Matthews Band & Dave Matthews,
Counting Crows,
John Mayer,
Better Than Ezra, Led Zeppelin, Jason Mraz, Our Lady Peace, Dashboard Confessional, Anna Nalick, Billy Joel, Linkin Park, Train, Guster, The Fray, Chicago, Bowling For Soup, Howie Day, Jack Johnson, Def Leppard, Alanis Morrisette, Green Day, I was only recently reminded of my admiration/love for Remy Zero (thanks, Micah, for reminding me of Remy Zero!), and I was turned on to a VERY TALENTED/SOULFUL woman, Toby Lightman, (www.TobyLightman.com) at the Jewel/♥Rob Thomas♥ concert, June, 21...and I also like MANY (MANY) MORE artists/bands, but I do I wish to BORE you any longer with the MANY artists/bands I enjoy (assuming that I have yet to BORE you)...I LOOOOOOOOOOVE ♥MUSIC♥...even though most of my FAVORITE bands are not HARD ROCK/HEAVY METAL...
"
I DO like hard rock and heavy metal, also (mainly when I'm ANGRY)...(I dig KoRn!)
But, my MAIN interest is Dave Matthews and my OBSESSION (more than ONLY an interest...as if you couldn't tell already...) is
®ºß! |Thomas...DUH!| (yes, I am 26--27 November, 20...but act as if I am 14 when it comes to *sigh*
♥ROB♥)

What 'Dave Matthews Band' Song Are You?!

Take this quiz !
~'IT'S ONLY AFTER YOU'VE LOST EVERYTHING, THAT YOU'RE FREE TO DO ANYTHING.~'FIGHT CLUB'
(although, it is NOT my favorite movie because of BRAD PITT, like MOST chicks...I ADORE EDWARD NORTON! Plus, I REALLY like the storyline...),
"The first rule of 'Fight Club' is...YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT 'FIGHT CLUB'..."
"Rat Race" (with MANY well known actors/actresses)...not a very well known movie...BUT, OHMYGOD HILARIOUS!,
'Multiplicity' (I ADORE Michael Keaton's chararcter[s]...even if it also stars an actress that I can not STAND to look at/hear, Andie MacDowell), 'Harry Potter' movies, 'Office Space', 'I Am Sam', 'Rain Man',
[I HAVE SUDDENLY FOUND MYSELF LOVING MOVIES STARRING ADAM SANDLER(!?)] 'The Waterboy', 'Mr. Deeds' (the newest one-with Sandler), 'Anger Management',
'50 First Dates' (I TOTALLY relate to this movie...kinda odd that it came out the same year that I also suffered a brain injury...like 'Lucy' does in the movie, LOTS of similarities),
"Big" (with Tom Hanks)
'Can't Hardly Wait', 'Grease', 'Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory' (THE ORIGINAL...not the one with JOHNNY DEPP!?), 'Toy Story', 'The Shawshank Redemption', 'Speed', 'The Truman Show', 'Dirty Dancing', 'The Cutting Edge' ("TOE-PICK!"), 'Meet The Parents', 'Finding Nemo' (I've ALWAYS been compared to the character, "Dory"...but, I relate even more so, NOW!),
My favorite actresses are Ashley Judd, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson & Christina Ricci, and my favorite actors are Nicolas Cage, Will Smith, Edward Norton (He was AMAZING in 'Fight Club'), Matthew Perry ('Chandler' from "Friends"),
Chris O'Donnell, and I have only recently begun to not feel guilty for liking Jamie Foxx (ONLY b/c of his stupidity on 'In Living Color')...I also LOOOOOOOOOVE Oliver Hudson (Kate Hudson & Oliver Hudson's mom is Goldie Hawn...MY Mom's favorite actress...! awwwww, ain't we cute?!)
My all time favorite television show is 'Friends'
(I absolutely ♥ 'Chandler BING!' [hahaha]...I've been compared to 'Rachel Green' by family and friends...I'm not sure if that is an insult...but, I am A LOT--though, not EXACTLY--like 'Rachel'), I LOVE 'Grey's Anatomy' (I ♥ the actor who plays the character, 'George'; T.R. Knight--NO, he does NOT play, 'McDreamy' OR 'McSteamy'...but, he is both to me...sadly, I found out he doesn't "swing my way"...he is gay...the day I found that out, it was such a sad day...). I like 'The Andy Griffith Show' (before 'Barney' moved to Mt. Pilot and he was replaced by 'Warren'), 'I Love Lucy' and 'Bewitched' (BEFORE THEY CHANGED THE CHARACTER OF "DARRIN" sp?), I LOVE 'One Tree Hill', and 'Gilmore Girls'...James Spader (the actor who portrays 'Alan Shore' on 'Boston Legal') is the epitome of 'cool'...

♥My Mom♥ is the STRONGEST person that I know/have EVER known...therefore, she is my hero...the life that she leads, now, is that much more amazing when you know about her past and what she has had to overcome...without her love and PURE dedication to me ...I HONESTLY do not think that I would have had the courage to live (& live the life that I have ALWAYS imagined I would lead...)...my Momma has instilled ALL of the things in me/my character, that make me so very proud of myself...I♥HER, SOOOOOOOOOO VERY, VERY MUCH!
♥She is my ROCK!♥
