Seems to me that idea of success and celebrity has become mixed up somewhere along the way. Success isn't a photo in people magazine every week or a number of twitter followers. I've always thought of Success is an accumulation. Of actions, events and outcomes that is noted and appreciated by others over time. Adam is building success on his own terms using his own talent and smarts. His name sells. He as a strong devoted (growing) fan base who will pretty much buy anything he does. He has respect and admiration of peers and luminaries in his chosen field. And he can still for most part live a relatively "normal" life. Not bad at all... #carryon  |

Oooh... can I have that picture as my avatar please? Anybody else interested?? Time for a change! Gorgeous, nic42 - post often! Thanks for the pic, LadyM. It's my new desktop. Thank you! I'll try to post often. It is just so hard to find anything to say that hasn't been said before. And most of the time better said as well. But I am not going anywhere anytime soon, I am here reading every day. And since there was some talk about Adam singing Enter Sandman: |

This is a little OTT but has some interesting questions and ideas in it that seem to speak to the way Adam is building his career. Any article that starts with "there are no baby unicorns coming to save you" gets my vote. Enjoy: blogs.hbr.org/2013/01/how-to-have-a-year-that-matter/"...every moment of every day of this year, and every year that follows, what I want you to map is the uncharted shore of potential: the capacity of life to dream, wonder, imagine, create, build, transform, better, and love; the infusion of the art of living into the heart of every instant of existence." |

He is making his way, it's just that there are a lot of different ways to get there. |

I have to say when I look at the many gorgeous pics of Adam, he sometimes looks straight out of the classy 'old Hollywood' era to me. The many sides of AFL!lol   |

 </img>Guess the promoters were so wrapped up in hiring the drummers and the twerkers  ....and the faux famous characters walking around #wonderifDisneyandCTWgetanylicensefees......that nobody noticed someone approved a big neon sign announcing NEW YEARS EVE 2014.  Oh well...at least they get to use it again....about 363 days from now.....  Also so loved the way AFL let Miley go before him, waited a few minutes for her to move on and then (probably) said "oh, bleep this!" And walked right past her, in front of the paps.....he did not need that red carpet! Proud of that boy!  As someone posted earlier....NObody puts Baby in a corner! |

I just wanted to do a quick de-lurk to wish everyone a Happy New Year!
I don't post very much, but I am here every day enjoying all the amazing conversations between people that I've never met, but feel I know.
I have to share this, because no one here would understand the way my fellow Adamtopians/Glamberts will. After staying up until stupid o'clock watching the stream from Adam's NYE show and listening and watching our fantastic guy who sounded and looked better than ever, I looked forward to the videos and photographs yesterday.
I though he looked amazing, loved the sparkly jacket, the shirt, the hair, the face - in fact everything. And then, dragging myself away from his face, my eyes focussed on the brooch in his lapel and there I think was the gift I gave to him outside our local radio station in Glasgow in March 2010! A traditional Scottish thistle kilt pin with an amethyst stone set in the thistle head. I am truly shocked if it is the same one, the last time I saw it it was wrapped in tissue in a gift bag and Lane looked after it whilst my friend took a photograph of me and Adam - hence the avi.
I don't feel this way very much, but I feel very special right now - Adam can probably have anything he wants at this moment in time and he chose a wee gift given by a fan for such a special occasion.
I'll away back into lurkdom again but I'll still be here every day. Love to you all!!
