What's up dana . Thanks for the love and support. We just wanted to remind you our exclusive EP Let Go is coming out next week. Pre-order now and we'll hook you up with a bonus gift
Ever since you added us, we haven't said anything to one another. So lets at least try to talk to see if we can help eachother. I'm D.O and my bro is Jizzle. We are looking to put "Cant Miss Me" on the radio. All we need you to do is call the radio station one time and request it. Now what can we do for you? A favor for a favor! That's how true friends work... Call this Radio Station (818)520-1059 and request "Can't Miss Me" by Rekkless! Come party with us too.
I feel like beating my head against the wall, actually. I have a horrendous job that leaves me to think that Hitler wouldn't be nearly so bad a boss as my own. Other than that I am perfectly fine, haha =]
i'm a little jealous. i mean, i was a 29 year old flower girl first. and don't bring up the gender difference, because we both know you're more of a girl than i am. ; ) i have to say though. that picture is hella rad.
You looked soooo damm cute on MTV!!! way to go!! you rocked it and so did the Chelmsford boy,,, next time, you should wear your where's waldo shirt!!! :~) ali :~)
