Did you boys bring your train toys with you? Or pick 'em up along the way? SHOUTS BACK AT YA, MARYANN7777! ;)....... damn, I think I missed the party.

Hey there's Johnny's first train set he was talking about buying! Cool!

BTW Johnny dip those fritos into some El Paso orange cheese sounds gross but it's addicting!

I love this pic of the guys and their toys. Hello there BlueDust. Oh God! I feel really bad about what happened with your job situation. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe something like 10 times better will come along to you in terms of your job and only then will you see that this situation just wasn't meant to be. I totally understand how you must be feeling right now. It's extremely discouraging but it will only make you a stronger person in time to come. I hope this helps ease your mind at least a little bit and I'll talk to ya soon. Take care. Summer greetings also to gooangela, Missy and SeattleSiren, darlings!!!!! Peace.

BlueDust, I am sorry to hear what is happening babe. Missy said it best, she is one smart cookie. All you can do is pray and wait and see what happens. I wish I could relocate too, my life sucks sometimes. For the next two days you have to try to relax and take care of yourself. I will blog to you later! xoxoxo

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOOOOO excited! I have some happy news to share with you ladies. I GET TO GO TO THE ANAHEIM CONCERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a FOR SURE thing too! My brother is going to spend the money for me, a friend, and him (possibly my sister-in-law) to fly down there, stay for a few days, and go to the show! I can barely even contain myself here because now I GET TO SEE THE GGD!!!! Ok sorry, I'll go now. I just wanted to shed some light on this picture (seeing as how it's been kind of depressing)!!! Now I have to get my mind off of this to prepare myself for the Def Leppard/Journey concert tonight. Love ya ladies! (Oh and the guys BETTER get the contract signed to play at the House of Blues....)

Thanks 2394 for the compliment, and everybody's life sucks sometimes. At least you're on your own and have your freedom. I'm stuck here for 2 more years, then college, freedom! lol. But I gotta get through junior year first. Hi maryann777 how have you been? Well I hope all of you ladies are relaxing today, especially you BlueDust! Talk to ya later!

OMG! gooagela that is awesome!!!!!! I really have to find a way to get there! I'm so happy for you! Have fun at the concert tonight! I'm so excited for you!

Dude! Johnny's checking out Robby's butt!
I always knew they had something going on...

2394 & Maryann777 How are you girls doing???? Thank you for your kind words..Still very frightened of the mistake I have made..I have to go to the main branch and speek with the main boss tomorrow...They said I was not going to be fired, but boy am I going to get a tongue lashing from the main boss...Thank you girls for leting me vent...I do not know what I would do if I didn't have you girls to blog with...Luv ya tons BlueDust

BlueDust I am so happy to hear that!! That is great news. Take the tongue lashing like a trooper and think of the guys during it and and you'll feel better, haha. We all knew it would work out. Now you can relax, have a drink and some ice cream!

gooangela that is Great news! They are amazing in concert!!

gooangela I'm so excited that your coming to California....Now we have a chance to meet...Thank you so much for being there for me... I do not know what I would do with out you & the other girls...When you come to California bring some pictures of your home state. I would really like to see what's out there in Utah...I'm so excited that your coming...Will you still be able to come to the IM concert? Have a wonderful night...BlueDust

Hey gooangela Tell me about the concert tomorrow...I love those bands toooo....Your so lucky...Hugs BlueDust

2394 Thank you...I will take the tongue lashing like a trooper, but I still don't know the outcome futher up the road..It could take weeks to find out if world war three will happen...Still scared about that....I know I have to remain calm and collected...Please pray for me...I could use all the prayers right now...Luv ya BlueDust

Hey Missy how are you doing???As for me I went to Santa Monica Peir today... The ocean was really beautiful there...I sat on a bench thinking and writing in my journal for two hours...The bad thing about being there is I for got to put sunscreen on...My arms, chest, face and the back of my neck are burned..."OUCH!!!" I just put some Noxzema cream on on those area to cool it down...Man I'm going to have a very nice tan after this...Hugs BlueDust

Wow BlueDust, that is a major relief. Well good luck at the tounge lashing, I agree with 2394 just think of the guys during it all, or better yet think of Johnny giving you a "different" kind of tounge lashing. (: That would make any bad situation seem much better. And sorry about the sun burn, luckily my skin is just dark enough that I don't burn, and I am so jealous I wish I lived close to the ocean. Anyways I'm glad to see that you relaxed today and again good luck tomorrow. Much love chica!

That was funny,Missy. A tongue lashing from John...Thank you for making me laugh...That was a good one...Actually I wish he could give me a bear hug I reallly need a mans arms around me right now...The guy that I am dating is out of town for two weeks and I don't have the heart to call him and tell him the what happened at work... I don't want him to worry...Anyway I'm going to bed early..I will blog you tomorrow...Have a Good night...Hugs BlueDust

Hey ladies. I just stopped in to say that I just got home from the concert and it was AMAZING! Def Leppard was soooooooooooooooo incredible, beyond explanation with words. Journey was alright. They let the guitarists take over everything so that kind of sucked, and of course, not having Steve Perry there was a huge negative, but it was still alright. I couldn't get enough of Def Leppard though. I've always loved them and it was such a thrill to actually be there, seeing one of my favorite bands EVER! Ok well it's 12:30 AM right now. I'm very tired and I have a headache. I rocked my ass off for three and a half hours, but it was worth it. I would comment about other things, but I think I'm going to pass out. Goodnight ladies. (Oh and BlueDust, I will definitely bring some pictures for you to see. Utah is a beautiful state.)

You're welcome for the laugh BlueDust, that's what I'm here for. I always tell my friends that they only keep me around to amuse them. (: They deny it though, so I have no way of proving my theory. I'm sorry that the guy your dating is out town, I don't have any advice whatsoever on making a guy appear for comfort, God knows everybody could use that once in a while. lol. Sleep well and lots of love to you.

Hey gooangela! I'm glad you had fun at the concert! Well you can't really replace Steve Perry, his voice is amazing, but I have heard that Def Leppard puts on a good show. Hey I had a question for you, really random though, do you know anyone that has not seen the ocean because you ive in Utah? You have seen the ocean right? Again I'm sorry for the randomness but I was talking to my friend earler and we got on that subject and I told him I'd ask you. Anyways have a good night and get some sleep!

I just went to the tour site to see the dates as to when the GGD will be back to california, and the date are no longer there...What does that mean?

I dunno BlueDust maybe someone screwed up the tour page or something. If they had canceled them then they would have said something. Don't worry someone's bound to notice that the shows aren't up there where they should be.

Hey BlueDust and Missy. The same scenario happened to me. They took those dates off because those dates have not yet been "confirmed." If you go to the Forums and then go to About the Concerts Section, there is a section about the Fall Shows being Modified and it basically says that all of those fall shows still need to be confirmed so do not make travel arrangements yet. I would imagine that they will use all those dates which they previously posted as each venue would need as much notice as possible, and it seems like they already made contact with each one or there would not have been a list to begin with. I hope this helps. Talk to ya ladies soon.

Bluedust... I read somewhere that they took all the dates off that had not been confirmed yet... as sonn as the contracts are signed... they will put them back up... I hope this helps

I know what happened to the tour dates ladies. The GGD haven't signed the contracts to play at those venues on those dates yet, so they had to remove the tour dates for now. The GGD Staff said that they'll probably get them posted again, but they may not. We kind of just have to wait and see if they're still going to do those venues or not.

Well it looks like maryann777 and wsunicole06 beat me to it! I hate it when I post at the same time as somebody else....

Well that clears it up, thank you ladies. Hey the guys get back tomorrow! Maybe we'll get vaca pics of John sun bathing! hmmm... good thoughts.

Missy, gooangela, 2394 if I missed anybody I'm sorry....Well, I made a mountain out of a mole hill...I think I spelled "mole" right , oh well...The meeting with my Boss turned out to be okay, she is an understanding lady..To make a long story short she told me to learn from my mistake/s and move on, and not to take things toooo hard...Toooo late for that, I did just that and, I made myself sick over it too(pathetic aren't I) My stomach has been tied in knotts for the past few days..Now that I know the Apocalpse will not happen I can rest...I'll drink some of that pink stuff before I go to be....I can BREATH!!!!! Thank GOD!!!

Girls, I had a dream the other night that I was driving down a road and all of a sudden this Mustang car starts race in the lane I was driving on...The Mustang was black and had limo tinted windows, so I couldn't see who was driving...At the last second I swirved to avoid a head on collision...I think the dream was telling me that I wasn't in any danger of losing my job... What do you girls think of my dream?

See BlueDust we told you everything would be alright. (: And don't feel pathetic about worrying about it, I got really sick a couple years ago cuz a friend and I got a detention and I didn't know how to tell my parents. I was sick for about 7 weeks due to all my worrying, it ruined all 6 weeks of my xmas vacation! And when I told my parents they LAUGHED! It was really a ridiculous thing to be worried about and I kick myself every time I think about it. But anyways I'm horrible at dream interpretations but I think you are right, or it could mean you secretly wish to be a street racer. lol. Well I'm happy that everything turned out ok and that the Apocalypse isn't upon us. Have a good night!

  • 2394-I just made things worst at work..I made a really bad mistake and I feel like shit right now..I can't go into details about... I have the next two days off from work...I don't know what is in the future for me now that I fuck up royaly...I wish I could just run away and start new somewhere else...I know that sounded childish, but that's how I feel...Since I have the next two day off I will head to the Farmer's Market in Santa Monica, and try and clear my mind...I don't know what to do...It feels like everything is crashing in on me...I'm lost...

  • BlueDust, thanks for the kind words about my mom. gooangela I was so happy to read your blog, I feel much better. Stay strong girl! Missy I'll just say good for you for pulling yourself away from those thoughts! I remember how exciting it is when you have lunch break with all your friends and I've been out of highschool for almost 20 years! My day has been good. I made homemade lemon squares and had dinner with a friend and then watched Rockstar Supernova and Miami Ink. Yes I am a television junkie. Here is a quote from a guy we all LOVE, "I wish everyone was loved tonight". Take care ladies and we will blog later, Love K

  • I wonder if John is downloading songs from iTunes?

  • sweet!!

  • It's really a relief to hear that gooangela. Anyways I'm glad that we're all here for each other. So how's everybody's day been? Mine's good I got my class shedule and ALL my friends got the same lunch! Sorry I'm just so excited about it, we're all insane so there's never a dull moment, and quite a few blonde ones. :) Hope the day's been good! Mucho amor chicas!

  • BlueDust I'm sorry to hear about your job. I know how that is. You want to do something so much, but then somebody who is not adequate takes over what you want. I've been there and done that. Things will get better and if you stay strong and true to yourself, everything will come together and pay off in the end.

    Ladies I would like to say something to you ALL. I very much appreciate your concern for me, really I do. I, on the other hand however, do not think that my problem is serious enough to seek professional help. As a teenager, a thought like that is pretty normal and most of the time is taken lightly. It's only when the thoughts happen constantly that one should be worried. Now ladies I don't think about it constantly, just a couple of times and that's normal for a teenager. Look at Missy, she could relate very easily to me and we're the same age. Point is ladies, rest assured that I'm not going to do anything stupid. I know that I have too much to live for and that my life is just beginning. Thanks again though for the support. I really do appreciate it. Love ya ladies.

  • Oh BlueDust I'm sorry about your job, life is cruel sometimes, but you just have to continue on and do the best you can. Hopefully the person that takes the job will be able to do their job correctly enough to where the kids will not be affected, that is the main thing. But BlueDust just continue to work hard and it will all pay off in the end. :) Hope you have a good day, and honey, 3 scoops of ice cream is nothin'. :)

  • THERE IS ONE PERSON MISSING :(
    ME OF COURSE

  • gooangela, I know exactly what you're going through. I went through the same thing a few years back, I have a good life, we're not poor, but I just wasn't happy. I never tried anything but always thought about it, but then I realized that it would be the cowards way out and luckily Ive got that Spaniard pride and decided that I was not going to let life beat me so early on. I became determined to live and make my life better. I told myself that I was going to get through school and amount to more than a dreamless Postal employee stuck in an unromantic marriage with 3 kids. I'm getting out of this town to live MY life and MY dreams, that and I listened to a lot of music. Then I thought about it and told myself that God gave me this life and if I were meant to die then it would happen but by His hand, but if not I have no right to take it myself. It took a while to get rid of the thoughts completely but after that I haven't thought about it since. There is a lot to live for, and at least you talked about it, I was alone in my battle which made it much harder, but it's over and I'm much stronger and wiser for it. There is good in everything and it may be hard to see it but it's well worth the work. Please just remember to "Let Love In". I will talk to you later.
    Love,
    Missy

  • gooangela I'm sorry you got into a fight with your mom...I had thoughs feeling when I was your age, I made it through thoughs trying times, and you can too...Hang in there soon you will be off to college and on your own...Remember your edication is very important it's the only ticket to true freedom...Try to be patient with your mom...Know she loves you very much...She wants the best for you...Don't ever feel foolish, we all have to vent...The reason why I have been a wreak, is a certain position at work was going to be offered to me and I found out that it was going to be offered to someone else...A person I feel does not deserve to have the position...Oh, god look at the time ...I hate to cut it short, but I have to go to work now...Hang in there love and everything will just fine ...I will blog you when I get home...Tons of hugs BlueDust

  • Would Bluedust, 2934 and Gooangela please visit www.musicishealing.org. You WILL find comfort there, I promise you! And folks with similar experiences to share. It is my calling to help young people with their issues who are also GOO lovers. You will be welcomed there with open arms!~

  • You guys, enjoy your down time, you deserve it! This goes out to your road crew, security Mike and everyone. Your Jones Beach and PNC shows were phenomenal. You were definitely ON FIRE! Lionel trains bring back fond childhood memories. We put ours up under the Christmas tree every year. We've got the original black (circa 1951 I think) locomotives that smoke. Love my trains! But not more than I love you!

  • gooangela, I am worried about you. I think you should talk to your doctor about how you are feeling even though you talked yourself out of it this time, you may not be able to another time. Please Please talk to someone because this sounds serious. You are only a young girl and you have your whole life in front of you. Please take care of yourself!! xo

  • Great shot!!

  • Gooangela...Hi....I've never addressed anyone in particular here but your last post bothered me....Were you talking about dying literally. If you are thinking literally even tho you talked yourself out of it please seek help....please or you can contact me directly by private message on the board. Even THINKING that way can be a warning sign. You seem like a sweet caring person...hang in there.

    Hope everyone feels better...hugs to all.

  • What the hell am I talking about? I didn't make a fool of myself. For cryin' out loud! I was just helpin' a friend! Sorry, just a little reassurance for myself....

  • BlueDust I am very concerned about you. The other night I got into such a horrible fight with my mom and I was pissed as hell at EVERYTHING it seemed like and I just wanted to die. I mean I'm sure I sound really stupid.... a girl who has it pretty good, but once things get a little bad she wants out? What the hell is wrong with her? Well I did want out, but thankfully I was smart enough to talk myself out of it. I sat myself down, cried A TON, listened to the GGD, and wrote an email to a friend. Now I don't know exactly what is going on in your life right now that is making you upset, but I felt like sharing that story with you (although I summed up the story VERY quickly) because it may have some relevance as to what you're going through. It is very important to surround yourself with the things that make you most happy when you are going through a trying time. Just remember that whatever you are going through is probably just one of God's many tests and you will come through it. Ok now that I've made a fool of myself..... things are pretty good here in Utah. It's been storming a lot, but other than that it's not too bad. I should probably head off to bed now. Take care BlueDust and feel free to vent to us ladies WHENEVER you want, we're always here. Love you.

  • Hey goosngela,How's it going in Utah? I'm feeling a little better now...Thank you for your kind words...You also have a lot of wisdom for a girl of sixteen...I love that!!!!I was really bad today I had not just two scoops of ice-cream but three...Can't do that every day or I'll balloon out...HAha!!! Have a restful night...BlueDust

  • 2394 Hey girl how's it going?
    I'm sorry you lost your mother...Know that if you ever need to banter I am there for you...I know what it's like to lose a loved one too...I lost a close friend of mine two years ago... He use to call me taco head, but when he was serious he would call me by my name.....I miss him very much...I believe all of our loved ones are looking out for us... Stay strong...Know all of us girls are there for you...Lots of love...BlueDust

  • wsunicole06 You are right, god is standing by us no matter what is going on in our lives...Thank you for reminding me of psalm 31:24...It's a beautiful saying...Your friend BlueDust

  • Sorry, missy I had a "brain fart" at the end of my comment I meant to say thank you for your friendship...Hugs BlueDust

  • Missy, How was your day??? Thank you for your kind words...Your right, I have to stop thinking about my troubles, cuz it was making me sick to my stomach...I followed your suggestions...I have surrounded myself with the things that comfort me... It helped, thank you... You're only sixteen years old and you already have so much wisdom in you...
    I read the words to the song "Welcome to where you are," Bon Jovi...The words are very moving....Thank you once again your friend BlueDust

  • Hope you are resting a little & having some me time. :o)

  • Once again, GOO~GOO~LICIOUS!

  • maybe the Train set is a gift from one of your many lovely fans out there! sorry I couldn't get mine to you guys b/c I still haven't won a M&G
    from the last 3 shows. oh well I'll keep trying (dreaming) +++++ ENJOY VACATION GUYS!+++++

  • Hi ladies! I was just thinking that since the guys are going to be off for a few days and not with each other does that mean we won't get any new pictures? I wish they would announce it or something. Oh well have a great day everyone!

  • It's good to see that the guys are taking time out to relax. This summer tour has rocked!!! Shout outs to BlueDust, Gooangela, Missy and SeattleSiren. I hope you guys are all doing well.
