JA Love

So everyone always asks me where, when, how my crazy love for Jason Aldean began?

Well I'm here to fill y'all in! ;)   It all started a little over 5 years ago, when I first began listening to him and hearing his music.  The internet and the GAC/CMT channels were really what helped get me hooked on him because we don't have country radio here on Long Island. {Well to clarify, as of last year we do, but the radio signal does not extend to my house and it's basically static for me.}  I would mainly use the internet to stream his music and find out more about him.  Three years ago, my mom and I began traveling to his shows and that truly sealed it for us ... we were officially hooked!

Over the last few years, our love for him has tremendously grown.  It's even really hard for me to put into words why he is so important to me and why I now consider myself one of his biggest fans.  A few weeks ago, my mom and I created a biggest fan video for him {which I gave him a copy of when I saw him in March ;)} and prior to making the video, I listed reasons why I thought we were his biggest fans.  We travel thousands of miles for his shows, spend every extra dollar we can to see him, we own everything in his fan club, have his tribal sun emblem tattooed on us.. the list went on.   But there is more to it than that.  And if you follow me here or on Twitter, Instagram,  you know I post A LOT about him.   I'm either sharing his new music, videos, congratulating him on his awards and accomplishments, and sometimes even defending him when there's controversy.  And while you probably think I'm nuts, there is obviously a significance as to why he is so important to me and why I talk/share a lot about him.

So I did my best to try and put in all into perspective...

Jason Aldean is the only man that has never let me down. I'm sure that sounds silly to you, but it's the truth. Whenever I have a bad day, I can listen to his music or read an update from his website, Twitter, or Facebook, and it immediately puts a smile on my face. Hearing his name or seeing his face on TV at an awards show or music video makes me immediately happy. Watching him light up the stage in concert always makes my day. His presence in country music is constant and always there when I need it. But more importantly, it is the man behind the music. When I met him in person, it truly sealed how I feel about him. I saw that he truly is the genuine, laid back, family man that he portrays himself to be.

His constant presence in my life, through my car radio, TV, or computer monitor for the most part, has had such a positive influence on me. I can't say that any other man in my life has had that affect on me. At some point and time, every man in my life has always let me down, except for Jason Aldean.

So call me crazy but this is why he is one important man in my life!  There are always those things in life that automatically make you happy and brighten your day ... he is one of those things for me!  He is always a part of each and every day and I wouldn't have it any other way!

LOVE YOU, JASON!  Keep doing what you're doing!
