Everything about this statement is correct. Everything.
Being an adult is realizing that AJ, Howie, and Kevin are the best members of the Backstreet Boys.

But tbh, there’s never been a season in which AJ wasn’t at the top of the group.

This @medium.com post, written last August, is getting lots of feedback.

Are you a member of the BSB Army? If so, does this change how you feel about them?

So as of Friday, I'm currently out of a job. While I look elsewhere, if anyone knows of anybody looking for a #podcast editor (audio, video or both), I'm certainly interested in boosting my portfolio. Hit me up, 20+ years of podcasting experience under my belt!

“I thought we had time.” - Macaulay Culkin

We always think we do...

Don’t wait. Give your flowers while others can still appreciate them. As my Momma told me time and time again, tomorrow is never promised.

Rest now, Ms. O'Hara... and thank you. 💜

The gun that was clearly removed from his person before they treated him as target practice?

Fuck the Post and anyone else running with this bullshit narrative.
From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

If Sophie Ellis Bextor can finally crossover after 20-something years, so can Vicky B -- and this song is stellar.
