I haven't cried in awhile,,, or really blogged... blink 182 pt. (tragedy for a miracle) 3

I've heard rumors and been on forums for the past week.  It has been total excitement on my end.  When I saw the 3 of them take the stage at the Grammy's, I smiled.  It was so fulfilling.  I teared up.

I have shaken the hand of Thomas DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker.  Tom gave me a slice of pizza.  I was totally starstruck.  I couldn't even speak.  It was 1999 and I was in Florida on vacation with my family.  All I listened to was "What's my age again", and that whole record.  I was 13 years old.  I had just become a teenager.  I wanted that surf green stratocaster.  I dreamt of playing "Dammit" in my school talent show.  9 years.. you could round that off to 10 years.  a WHOLE decade.  My heart was broken when they announced an "indefinite hiatus" in 2005.  Here is the live journal entry.

Maybe it was the plane crash that brought them back together.. Maybe it was just time in itself??  I don't think anyone could really know, or say what it was exactly.  I am a teenager again.  I am not 23 years old anymore (no one likes you when you're twenty-three anyway).  I am that kid, in Florida, just learning to play guitar, but determined.  

Instead of playing Dammit in a talent show, I am going on another tour across the United states.  Maybe the Blink reunion is my plane crash.  Maybe Devin is Travis, and I am Tom, and the blink reunion is our tragedy.  With or without a Mark.  It doesn't matter. Who knows.  

See you in March.
