  1. Unfortunately the meadowlands has really changed. Also being from New Jersey It was really sad for me to see Meadowlands Arena/Izod center/ Brendan Byrne Arena (or whatever other name the place had ) close. Heres to hoping they reopen it one day soon, I have really good memories of going to that arena for devils or nets game with my Dad. That being said, it sounds like you saw an absolutely amazing show there. Billy Joel and Bruce together? If that doesn't scream tristate area I don't know what does. That being said Metlife is an awesome stadium. I've been there for both concerts and football and it's got a great atmosphere!
  2. Earlier this week me and my friends were able to score tickets for Metallica and Avenged Sevenfold at Metlife stadium, and it got me thinking; whats every bodies favorite concert experience? If it's something crazy great! If it's something you personally found moving or exciting that's just as good! Personally my favorite concert moment was seeing Motley Crue on their final tour with my dad. The gorgeous Tommy Lee had some awesome roller coasteresque track he wound up riding as he played! Including going upside down! It's a moment I doubt I'll ever forget.
  3. I completely agree, I'm absolutely in love with the backstory. The way blizzard did it was brilliant IMO, there's just such a big mystique around everything,and the details we have just don't feel like enough (in a good way if that makes sense). I'm always left wanting more. I'm sure you're that guy that makes people rage quit from constant pins
  4. As we broke away from the short embrace I looked into her eyes, and finally understood everything that happened. I understood the pain and suffering that Eli was going through…that Jayden was going through. As I walked towards the door I turned back and nodded, I can do this. I can right the ship. That night I barely slept, I was just too busy running through all the different ways to talk to Eli…all the different possible conversations…all the different arguments…I’ll get through to him, I swea

    Requiem

    I appreciate the compliments, and the support. However like I said to Roy, I don't see Jamie's death as a good thing at all, however it was the ending he needed.(In the most recent chapter of Crestfallen we actually learn a lot about Jamie's mental health and conditions). I can't put into words how tragic the death of 2 16 year old boys is. In addition I promise you no one is more upset and heartbroken over his death than I am. I was in literal tears and had to walk away multiple times to prevent me from changing the ending. I still often think about it, and miss the character, just like everyone of you I got extremely attached to Jamie and Eli. They were more than just characters to me, they were pieces of me. I am glad that while you are upset you seem to understand all of that. I hope that one day you can come back to reading crestfallen. If there is anyone healing the wounds left it's Aidan Taylor.
  6. Awesome! I'll have to watch you play sometime! It's quickly becoming one of my favorite games of all time, nothing beats sitting down with some friends and really gaming! It's like the old days and Halo 3 all over for me.
  7. This is it, the night I’ll never forget…the night I’ll tell my grandchildren about, the night I realized I couldn’t live without Jayden. I looked up and saw his smiling face staring towards me, just as bright and excited as ever. I’ve been dreaming of falling in love since I was little. Always believing it would be in some big crystal ballroom, or at some huge fancy event…yet here I am in the local dinner, the same place late night truckers stop on their way to New York City, and I couldn’t be h
  8. Thats amazing! I hope you can make it! I'm sure it'll be a great experience. IMO this is one of the most inspirational things I've seen in all of sports. Side note I'm glad you guys have boyle, he was a real pain in the ass as a ranger!
  9. The next morning I woke up not knowing how to feel…I mean should I be sad? Happy? Relieved? I just found out I was made in some type of freakin test tube! Was I just a lucky science experiment…or is my birth just as legit as everyone else’s. Why the hell would you ever tell your kid that? I got up, changed and went for a morning run. I just needed to get my mind off of things for a while. I mean it’s not fighting, but hell, at least it gets my heart pumping. The rest of the day seemed to slowly
  10. So a few weeks ago I posted a quote by Brad Marchand about what would happen if a current player came out. Well it seems the NHL has kept moving forward with progress and given the chance for a player from each team to step up and volunteer as an ambassador to LGBTQ youth, and perhaps even LGBTQ players who hope to lace up the skates in the big leagues. It is with immense pleasure and pride I post the list here. Hopefully you find some of your favorite players, I know I did. Anaheim Ducks -- Ryan Kesler Arizona Coyotes -- Oliver Ekman-Larsson Boston Bruins -- Brad Marchand Buffalo Sabres -- Anders Nilsson Carolina Hurricanes -- Eddie Lack Calgary Flames -- Matt Stajan Chicago Blackhawks -- Trevor Van Riemsdyk Colorado Avalanche -- Gabriel Landeskog Columbus Blue Jackets -- Scott Hartnell Dallas Stars -- Curtis McKenzie Detroit Red Wings -- Frans Nielsen Edmonton Oilers -- Matt Hendricks Florida Panthers -- Shawn Thornton Los Angeles Kings -- Dustin Brown Minnesota Wild -- Charlie Coyle Montreal Canadiens -- Andrew Shaw Nashville Predators -- Colin Wilson New Jersey Devils -- Andy Greene New York Islanders -- Casey Cizikas New York Rangers -- Mats Zuccarello Ottawa Senators -- Dion Phaneuf Philadelphia Flyers -- Claude Giroux Pittsburgh Penguins -- Chris Kunitz San Jose Sharks -- Chris Tierney St. Louis Blues -- David Perron Tampa Bay Lightning -- Brian Boyle Toronto Maple Leafs -- James van Riemsdyk Vancouver Canucks -- Henrik Sedin Washington Capitals -- Braden Holtby Winnipeg Jets -- Jacob Trouba
  11. As I climbed out of the small bed I felt Jayden’s small hand grab onto me. I turned back and smiled at the tired brown haired boy laying next to me. “Just 5 more minutes.” he groaned “Sorry J, but it’s late.” I giggled “I’ll see you Sunday.” “Sunday?” he mumbled, in a tired voice “Yeah we’ve got a date remember?” He made a face and thought about it “Oh yeah!” he exclaimed, with some life jumping into his body. “I’ll pick you up around 7, just make sure you wear something nice.” I instructed
  12. I once heard that all it takes is one day. You’re born in a day, you die in a day, you fall in love in a day…you find a family in a day. Well I hate to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think I’m finally starting to find a place where I belong. Jayden let go of our short embrace and took his seat next to me. I could tell that even though his parents accepted us…it was gonna be a while until they got used to that. “So Aidan, what happened to your hand?” Mrs. Sanders asked, pulling dinne
  13. So after my sisters and friends forced it on me, I finally started to watch Shameless. Once more my hard head prevented me from watching an amazingly hilarious show! It's crazy, vulgar, and goofy...the perfect combination for me. So it got me to thinking, what have you guys been binging lately? Anything new? old? good? terrible? Who knows maybe you could even introduce us all to something amazing!
  14. I woke up the next morning more scared than confident. What the hell did I do last night? What the hell got into me? As I went to pull the covers off my bed pain shot through my left hand. ”Motherfucker!” I yelped lightly grabbing onto it. Like a wounded animal I kept my hand to my side, and hid it from anyone I came across. I cautiously made my down the stairs, slowly peeking around the corner. “Don’t worry he left for work already.” Brooke offered, eating her breakfast “He wasn’t mad though,

    Aidan's Way

    It's just in his nature not to brag I guess. Like his mother said, keeping quiet means he did well! However he won't actually get his scores for a few days.
  16. So since it came out all my friends have been playing it nonstop. I fought off the hype for literally months, and didn't dare to buy into the game or it's hype. Until finally one of my friends made an arguement so strong I couldn't fight it. I gave in about 3 weeks ago and finally brought the damn game, and boy was I stupid and hard headed for not getting it when it came out. It's easily some of the most fun I've had with my friends in a game since the days of Halo and Gears. So to all you overwatch players here, who's your main? I personally love to go with Hanzo or Tracer (gotta love seeing an LGBT character in games) but am also starting to learn McCree.
  17. I felt myself walking out of Jayden’s house with a new type of confidence. It’s one thing to win a fight…it’s another to sit down with your secret boyfriends family and get them to like you! Personally I think I’d rather be dodging punches! “Date went well sir?” Perry asked as I hopped into the passenger’s seat. The smile on my face grew a bit wider “I guess you could say that.” “See you had nothing to worry about, a chip off the old Taylor block.” He supported, throwing the car into drive.
  18. I'm glad to share. I'm thrilled at how the league has gotten so progressive. My Devils were supposed to have a pride night this season against the canucks, but it fell through a week before it actually got done. I wound up at the game anyway, which worked out because I got to see Hall obliterate Phillip Larsen in which has to be the hardest hit I've ever seen live (well besides the days of Stevens, but I was too young to remember any of that!)
  19. Personally I'm a huge hockey fan., all of my friends know if there's a game on, I'm most likely watching it. So having been a gay athlete in HS myself I've always wondered what the Pros would think of it. Luckily the NHL has always been progressive. Last year the Edmonton Oilers used Pride stick tape in their skills competitions, and the Washington Capitals held a pride night. Well lately Boston Bruins star Brad Marchand was asked about if a teammate came out. This is what he had to say: "Guys would accept that, no question. We're a team in the [dressing] room and a family. It doesn't matter what different beliefs guys have, or where they come from, or whatever the case may be. Guys would accept it. Again, in the room we're a family. That's the way it is on a hockey team, and that's the way it will always be."..."It's bound to happen at some point, and when it does, it will be accepted." So to everyone on the site, remember to never let stereotypes stand in your way. At the end of the day we are all born with the same potential
  20. I went to unpeel the tape from my fists, but thought of everything that had happened today. Jayden getting bullied…that deal with my father. I shook my head, walked up to the speed bag and began to train once more. Powers worthless if I’m not fast enough to use it I convinced myself. I wound up training late into the night, and even found myself oversleeping the next morning. If Perry was annoyed that he had to take me and Brooke to school separately he certainly didn’t know it. When the lunch
  21. I'm glad! I love the budding romance between Jayden and Aidan
  22. haha, don't worry, just like in velocity, what goes around comes around.
  23. It’s funny how things can change in such a small amount of time. I would’ve never guessed Jayden would be ready to label us so fast...there was a while where I thought it would never happen! Yet with every passing day I see his confidence grow…I see him grow. It’s been a long road, but I wouldn’t trade it for the world. “So maybe Brittany, me and you two can go on a double date at some point.” Henry announced breaking me out of my thought. “No” I laughed shrugging him off. “Don’t be rude.” Ja
  24. .: Jayden's Chapter :. The way Aidan talked about fighting was so intense…so passionate. I could see the fire in his eyes as he broke down every movement and strike. I couldn’t help but laugh as he let his body do most of the talking, every knockout was met with him jumping out of his seat, and every big hit had him waving around his arms. The pride beamed out of him just like it always did. It’s funny Aidan is always so proud, but rarely ever cocky. I guess he just knows where the line is and
  25. As I looked next to me I couldn’t help but be filled with an overwhelming sensation I had never known before. I mean I thought winning was the best feeling in the world but this…this is even better! I heard Jayden giggle as I slowly worked things out in my mind. “Watcha thinking about?” he gently poked. “About you.” I laughed, holding him close. He tilted his head slightly “What about me?” “Nothing.” I nervously sighed “I just can’t believe this is actually happening.” I felt him shake a li
