I can't deny it... I still wish I could CRUISE!

Yes, it's true.

I'm not going on the NKOTB Cruise...

AGAIN.

Why? 

Well, for one, I've got about 

A MILLION AND A HALF 

things going on right now.

But on an even larger scale...

I have to be a responsible adult

(boo.... hiss...)

and save money right now!

See, I'm in grad school majoring in 

7-12 education.

As my final requirement to 

graduate and become certified,

I have to student teach.

For free.

For 18 weeks.

5 days a week. 8 hours a day.

Now, I'm not asking for pity.

I am excited about 

becoming a teacher,

and FINALLY 

starting my career.

But I was just hoping...

Using "The Secret,"

or "the power of positive thinking,"

or whatever you'd like to call it...

that somehow,

I'd end up on that cruise ship this year!

And what's worse,

Several of my fellow Blockhead friends 

are going!

So, not only am I missing a whole weekend 

with my favorite 5 bad boys from Beantown,

but also with several girlfriends

that I never get to see!

I wish Ellen would make me do some

stupid human trick,

like wear a sumo suit and 

hum my ABC's while 

eating peanut butter...

or something.

I'd even work for it!

I'll be the "special fan commentator" 

for Ellen!

Or, I can be the opening act...

I'll bring my middle school dance team!

I can even be the 

"official SS NKOTB onboard personal trainer."

Or teach group fitness classes to

Hangin' Tough!

I'd really do just about anything...

Sigh.

Ok, that's my sob story for the day.

Thanks for listening!
