I ARRIVED AT THE BORGATA SATURDAY AFTERNOON.... WITH MUCH ANTICIPATION AT THE THOUGHT OF JUST BUMPING INTO DAVID SOMEWHERE! I HAD A REALLY GOOD FEELING THAT FOR SURE "THIS TIME" I WOULD GET THAT HUG I DREAM OF! AS I CHECKED IN, I WAS TOLD THAT DAVID WAS THERE FROM FRIDAY NIGHT JUST HANGING IN B BAR WITH THE BAND AND PLAYING BLACKJACK FOR HOURS... WITH NO INCIDENT... LIKE A REGULAR GUY! AND THAT HE HAD JUST BEEN SHOPPING IN A HOTEL STORE WHICH WAS IN MY EYE RANGE! 'JUST MISSED HIM' SO I WAS TOLD AT CHECKIN! THEN TO TOTALLY BLOW MY MIND, I WAS ASSIGNED TO THE PENTHOUSE FLOOR!! I WAS IN ROOM 4316 AND WITHOUT ACTUALLY TELLING ME, LET ME KNOW THAT DAVID & THE BAND WERE IN THE PENTHOUSE SUITE 4301! OMG , I WOULD NEVER INVADE HIS PRIVACY SO WHAT COULD I DO?? WELL I WENT OUT FOR ICE MANY TIMES HOPING..... WE SHARED THE SAME ELEVATOR...... SO I STALLED LONGER THAN I ~ SHOULD HAVE! I BLASTED HIS MUSIC IN MY ROOM IMAGINING THAT HE MIGHT JUST PASS AND GIVE A KNOCK!! WELL NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY DREAM JUST DIDNT HAPPEN! yA THINK ITS EASY TRYING TO SLEEP KNOWING THAT HIS HOTNESS IS JUST 4 ROOMS AWAY!? FORGET IT... I DIDNT SLEEP AT ALL!! NOW IT WAS TIME FOR THE HIS BIG CONCERT IN THE BIGGER VENUE HOLDING 3700 FANS ~ THE EVENT CENTER! AND AWAY WE GO! I UPGRADED MY TICKETS AND PAID MUCH MORE THAN I COULD AFFORD SO I WOULD HAVE A THIRD ROW SEAT! ONLY TO FIND THAT HALF THIS HUGE CENTER WAS GA STANDING ROOM!! AT THAT POINT I WANTED TO RUN DOWN SO I COULD BE UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL!! BUT INSTEAD I JUST SAT BACK IN MY EVER SO PRICEY SEAT... AND BEFORE MY VERY EYES I SAW MY LAST AMERICAN IDOL.... SO MATURED AND WITHOUT A DOUBT HAD BECOME A SUPER ROCK STAR!! AND YET ANOTHER CHERISHED NIGHT AND MEMORY I WILL FOREVER CHERISH! WHAT WORDS CAN I POSSIBLY FIND TO DESCRIBE THIS AMAZING, WARM HEARTED, FUNNY, HOT, 'MAN' WHO JUST DROPPED OUT OF HEAVEN PULLING YOU INTO HIS 'ATMOSPHERE' AND LEAVING YOU YEARNING FOR MORE! I FEEL LIKE HE IS A PART OF WHO I AM, LIKE I KNOW HIS HEART AND SOUL... AND I 'GET' YOU DAVID COOK! YOU NEVER FORGET TO REMEMBER AND REMIND YOUR FANS YOUR APPRECIATION AND FOR AS LONG AS YOU DO THAT..... ME AND THEM ARE YOURS FOR THIS AWESOME JOURNEY!! IM SO LOVIN 'ALL' THAT YOU ARE AND PRAY THAT YOU NEVER LOOSE YOU!! ~ NyCAROLE XOXOX
