~Your MB20 dreams. No matter how bizarre...~

I had a dream once (like right after i joined and started to get the digest) that everyone that wrote the digest and read came to my house and everyone was so nice but i didn't know why they came! they all of a sudden came up to me and told me that since your the newcomer you get to meet the gang and i thought that they meant the digest crew but in comes MATCHBOX20! I totally passed out and when i woke up rob had just layed my down on my bed! I totally freaked out! then he leaned over and told me i was the most beautiful girl he has ever seen then went to kiss me and the next thing I know i hear my mom yelling "Amanda get up. It's time for school"  I just wanted to say that I LOVE ROB with all my heart if i ever got the chance to meet him it would just make my day! I wish i could at least get to meet him!

This is a very short list of  a few things that I noticed in the 3am video.....

1. "ELVIS LIVES" is written in marker on the phonebooths, I would like to thank Rob for that little artistic contribution to the project, and for alerting those of you who didn't aready know that.  There are some other messages written, but I couldn't read 'em, if y'all can, lemme know..... 
Something about life on other planets perhaps?

2. Paul's sweater. I wasn't sure about this one till I read 'Postcards. from the road, in which he states that #2. He likes mohair sweaters. The particular one that he is wearing in the video is a mohair Versace, by Versaci. This particular item usually sells for $550- at retail price.

   I found this and if you download it, it gives you  a portion of the Push Video!  IT IS AWESOME!  Maybe it's worthy of placing my name and the link in the paper.   I think it is.

Hello all!!!! Don't you guys just love Rob????????  I got this cute pic of when he was little........I love him soo much. Nobody ever pays attention to my stupid thoughts anyway. So I won't ask you to email me with any info, cause you won't.....so  later.

Here's a little reflection on how Matchbox 20 touched my life.  

I was involved in an abusive relationship with this guy for 2 yrs.  Not necessarily physically, more of an emotional thing.  I was 2 years younger than him, and a Freshman in H.S. whereas he was a Junior.  He was my first real boyfriend, so naturally I thought he was a God and these were the things that happened in normal, healthy relationships.  

When I finally realized that this wasn't a normal part of a relationship, I was very ashamed and very alone.  I didn't feel I could talk to my friends about this, even though I know that they knew what was happening.  I was going through a rough period in my life, with the loss of a significant family member, when he told me he had been cheating on me with my life long best friend.  At that time, I was very dependant on him for a lot of things, and when the two of them told me

Questions
================================
~Answers to all your Matchbox 20 questions~

-Answered by LuvMB203EB@aol.com

1) Is it true that Mb20 and No Doubt have a on going rivalry? Is it true that Gwen snubbed them while they the opening act for No Doubt?
 A. As far as we know there was no snubbing or rivalry between the two bands.

 2) Who is the girl in the booklet of Yourself or Someone Like You (friend, girlfriend, stranger, sister, the band's favorite stripper, etc.) ?
 A. It has been heard that the girl was Rob's ex- girlfriend Heather, but it has also been heard that the girl auditioned.  We will let you guys know when we get this cleared up.
-Both from Jem1362079@aol.com

 3)How did the guy on the cover come about?  Who is he and how was he chosen?
-Annonymous Subscriber
A.  Here is something that may be of interest to you and answer your question...This is taken from when the guys were on Modern Rock Live...Courtesy of MatchboxZ0:
Tom: Whos on the cover of the album?
Rob: Never met the guy.  Tell them the story Adam, go ahead tell them who he is.
Adam: Yeah, I gotta tell you. Um..Paul, our drummers dad...
Paul: Hey!
Adam: No, he's a crop duster out in Kansas. And the deal is he gets his funky hat everytime he has coffee in the morning, he puts on the funky hat and he just goes and sheds all the crop. 
Paul: Sorry Dad!
Rob: No the truth is he used to be the Stunt Double for Christopher Atkins in the Blue Lagoon.
Tom: Laughs...
Rob: No Actually, we've never met the guy, actually me and  the drummer, Paul. We had an idea where we wanted to have a misshapen superhero kinda figure that comes from our song Real World. Where its all about just wanting to take different roles in life, and one of those roles is a superhero. Well, we thought about the idea, not your typical superhero, a superhero that wasn't quite fitting in the whole superhero realm and this was our idea, the guy, and so we explained it to who we wanted and this is what we got
Paul: Thats what we picked out, but the picture kinda turned
Rob: Yeah, we didn't like all of the pictures, alot of the ones that came out, it wasn't what we wanted at all, it wasn't the whole, the frame work that we set up, but this picture out of nowhere,  of this guy, was, I mean we saw it, and thats what we had on the cover.
Paul: He suddenly became our version of the everyday guy, instead of a superhero.

Something someone might be wondering about:
Someone asked me this " What is the extra verse that Rob sings live in Long Day?" I lost this e-mail but I remembered the question, and I got the answer, so here it is.... 

Well don't she said, you shouldn't get so upset...
but it gets me over and it clears my head.
yeah well I know you gotta a little life in ya yet
i know you gotta a lot strength left...
Well, its me.. and i can't get myself to go away.. back to normal...

Here's an answer to the question asked last issue about the brand of nailpolish the guys use:

I noticed someone in the last issue asked what kind of nailpolish the guys wear... 
Well, this was a while back, but I met the band at a show in Dallas and asked Paul what kind they preferred. He was wearing a wicked shade of blue, and he told me he uses Hard Candy for Men. Rock 'n roll!

Webpage of the Issue
================================
~This Issue's rad webpage picked to be reviewed and awarded~

The Un-official Adam Gaynor Fan Club Webpage-  
at https://www.angelfire.com/fl/adamlovers/
***1/2 
You make as why am I having this page for the Webpage of the Issue.  Well I think its a very cool page, and also its the first webpage I've seen for only one of the guys, not to mention that Adam (along with Paul!) is my favorite band member.  This page is run by Linz (ezralinz@rocketmail.com).  She definitly knows her Adam information.  The first section is called "Story Time" and here she has one of her own personal experinces that she encountered with Adam. There is only one at the moment, but she is looking for more. The next section is the Adam Facts.  She has quite a few facts and some are pretty cute. the 3rd section is "Meet the Adam-lovers" Since it is a fan club, there has to be members, and here is where you can find out a little about each member.  The next section is the Links section where there is also a link to a Paul Douchette page! There is a Thank You Section, and lastly there is a Picture section with a couple pics of Adam, most that I've never seen before and a few of Paul too.  Oh yeah - there also is a Guestbook and you should sign it and let her know what you think of it!  All in all, I think this is a very cool page for all of you out there who like Adam, and also for those who aren't in love with him, but just want to check out something new and cool.
