Focusing On The Things That Keep Us Watching

A Drive Is Still A Drive…No?

Helloooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! I can literally hear an echo!

I know…it’s been some time. We got back from our getaway late Friday night and wouldn’t you know it – vacation was so over and reality came crashing down on me when I went to start my Sunday Drive on Saturday night and had no internet. Huh…after turning everything on, off, up, down, after a few choice words and realizing the cable also wasn’t working…I made the call to my provider only to find that a transformer fire on my street that afternoon meant it would be down until it could be fixed by a team….

Trust me, friends, it was so NOT the way to end a vacation! My Sunday Drives are “sacred”, and through surgeries, renovations, and more surgeries, I have always managed to get the Sunday Drive posted. I have been obsessing for the past three days that I failed you all, my dear readers and even dearer friends.

But alas, we have internet service, and cable again, only to find that I wouldn’t be seeing GH because, somehow I forgot that it was “Diez De Agosto”, better known as Saint Brenda Day on ABC and SoapNet. *sigh*

Hey, I loved Brenda back in the day, but I don’t need to watch old episodes during the time I should be watching what’s currently happening on GH and my other soaps, you know? I mean why didn’t ABC and SoapNet get creative and share the titles of great Brenda moments viewers could search for on YouTube? Oh well…no sense crying over spilled milk…what’s done is done.

So, if you are all missing GH and JaSam as much as I am today, I’m hoping that my Sunday Drive on Tuesday will help get you through!

I love you guys and thank you all for your patience and all the concerned emails I received in the past few days. Although I didn’t get to actually see them until a couple hours ago, just seeing that your concern grew with every passing day warmed my heart! You  guys are the best!

On to the drive…

So…I found this vid and also found myself smiling a whole lot. You know what I love most about it? It shows just how much Jason and Sam depend on each other, and how much they need each other, and it reminds us that we have to “Keep Holding On” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfFZ9yRYLA4 Credit: rayr702

The title just about says it all…JaSam is “THE LOVE OF MY LIFE”, and as always, she used some outstanding clips!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vrp1AGQCdFM Credit: zaltana1

Oh…what a great vid! Jason and Sam do angst really, really well, and this vid shows why we need more of them onscreen! Really great clips to a really romantic and soapy song! LOVED IT! “The Music of Good-bye” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnqrkyUJIpM Credit: aproditebeauty

This vid is a sexy one, and I love that the vidder renamed it “There Goes Jason’s Baby!” Too cute! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ralp44QgafA Credit: 1127RochelleB

I actually heard this song on the radio the other day, and found myself picturing JaSam! How great to actually see a vid made to it, and by a new addition to our vidders’ club! Us JaSam fans really prove that great minds think alike! The lyrics are so sweet, and the clips are  just as sweet! “God Gave Me You” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O22OkeZQcCs Credit: Mary324100

It’s hard to resist a JaSam vid with the added allure of the Glee Cast in the background! Very nicely done! “No Air” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNPSL75waGQ Credit: aproditebeauty

Friends, in the midst of the Brenda whirlwind, we need to remember that it may feel as though “It’s Us Against The World”, but as long as we stick together, nothing can come between us…and as long as we keep FLOODING the phone lines and email accounts of TPTB, nothing can come between Jason and Sam! Make sure you thank this new vidder (at least to our Drive) for a job well done! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQnQNGOtmuc Credit: cruzscrillio

By the way, I’m having another “small” surgery on my back tomorrow – Wednesday, the 11th, so your thoughts and prayers will be greatly appreciated, as always!

Much love,

Angelique

    Angelique..

    You have been missed more than you know.. I am so happy to hear everything is fine now in your corner of the world. And believe me when I say you could NEVER LET US DOWN.. we appreciate you and what you do for us all with your wonderful blog and special friendship!

    I have to agree about Brenda.. as much as I loved her back in the day I did not need 3 hours worth of her today.. as you said I have youtube for that. I am however looking forward to seeing her back on GH and back in Sonny and Jax’s orbit..

    Now time for me to watch all the awesome videos you have brought to us for our Tuesday Suday Drive!

    Welcome back my friend!

    Peace and Love

    I’m so glad you are ok; was worried about you. Sent up some prayers about your surgery-for peace and a speedy recovery. Missed your posts a lot but was never disappointed with you 😉 Last week Jasam was HAWT. Love my babies LOL. Take care until we hear from you again.

  7. You’re back…and it’s amazing how much you were missed! You’ve become our “voice of reason”, and no need to apologize for anything! As long as you and you loved ones are okay…that’s all that matters. Having said that, I was sorry to hear that you have another surgery (albeit small)…my prayers will be with you.

    Thanks so much to you and for the amazing and talented fans who put together these awesome videos. What would we do without them?

    The media pics indicate some Jasam beauty is heading our way. I miss them. As for Brenda and all the publicity and the constant reminders…I have no words. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m glad she’s coming back…but, really…the ads are getting funny. NLG tweeted that she’s going to rename her daughter “Brenda”. Had to laugh.

    PLEASE know that we all appreciate you and your great insight to Jasam and all of the GH. Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery. Love ya.

  8. Hi glad you are back. Hope you had a wonderful vacation time. Couldn’t wait for your post you were missed. Hope you are doing better also.

    Loved your video choices. Beautiful. lad to now we are going to get some Jasam on our way. I miss them so much. I keep watching their ols scenes and I miss that writting. They so need a storyline of their own. Glad that Steve said Brenda won’t be a problem for them. They keep me wanting more after last week. The way they look at eachother makes me want to cry. Anyway take care and know how much we all appreciate your work and insight on our couple.

    Thoughts and prayers with you today for your surgery. Please don’t mistake us missing you for you failing us. Just glad you’re okay and back now.

    I have to admit, I was dreading Brenda marathon day myself, even though I too was a big Brenda fan and still love Vanessa. I watch “Las Vegas” reruns all the time – you know, the show where she’s “Sam.” But, yesterday was kind of fun because we got the whole cast on those shows – not just Brenda clips. I’d rather watch than on the days GH doesn’t show a new episode (4th of July, etc) than the rerun of shows from this year. So I got two “drives” yesterday, Jasam and GH memory lane.
