Jojosie, I think we have a life. It is centered around Adam, of course, but it is definitely a life and I wouldn’t trade it!
I honestly don’t think that Sauli thinks about Cheeks or Drake. He seems very oriented to the present tense, and has had boyfriends in the past, also. Drake was so brief and obviously not a terribly good match, I think we only know about him because of the timing of Idol.
Cheeks was longer and very serious, and I like that I see some similarities between Cheeks and Sauli. The physical similarities are obvious, but Sauli’s blogs have started to show someone with a softly snarky view of the world, versus Cheeks’ harder edge. I get the feeling that Cheeks could say something very cruel in an offhand manner and then laugh it off and say the person was overreacting to his comment. His humor is so caustic. I can see that his smarts and quick mind would be very attractive to Adam, but I can also surmise that he was not always kind.
Sauli has the quick mind, with kindness. I will never forget the sense I had of him when he passed by me in Ste Agathe. Only a second, but such an aura of light. Impossible to explain, but it made me glad for Adam.
OFHS, Ron!…but I’m relating to that pie comment. Went to a Mennonite sandwich shop this week and they had trays of shoofly pie…I wanted one desperately but knew I would eat the whole thing, so made myself step.away.from the tray…
Why Cheeks and Adam split up has always been a question in the back of my mind. None of my bloody business, of course – but it lingers. And linger it probably will since neither of them will likely ever speak to it. The only avenue may be Adam’s new album since he has said it will be more “real” with visits to the darker times in his life. Be interesting to try to interpret the lyrics coming down the pike to his real life.
It has been raining for three days and nights with no end in sight. If you stop hearing from me you can presume I have floated away.
Kradamour I absolutely know what you mean about Sauli. He just radiated happiness and good spirits as he walked by us. Unlike Drake, who always seemed shy and slightly upset about all the attention and Cheeks who I guess would be totally pumped up by it…Sauli seems just to love people and be naturally happy.
I think our BB has found someone who won’t be threatened by his success and who feels comfortable in his own skin. Sauli seems to share Adam’s core values regarding family and friends. What could be better?
Ron, hope you enjoy that pie!
Wake up everyone! Here are some pictures of Adam and Sauli at BM….

Enjoy !!!

adamized .. you beat me.
Sauli’s blog
They flew in BM.
adamized, what is your time now? Are you staying up late?
It’s 2:45 in the afternoon here.
I guess from now on I’ll be the morning shift person on this sandbox here.

Don’t forget to scroll down to read the version of Damn you google translate! for a laugh!
Hilarious!!!
ultimathule, I have given this some thought, also, just because I care about Adam and this was obviously so important to him. Cheeks is brilliant and funny and physically adorable…but he knows all of these things. Confidence level over the top. And he strikes me as very competitive, someone who would not support success in others at the risk of it outshadowing his own. Adam, on the other hand, has said that he had significant confidence issues before Idol, and he is not at all competitive and takes joy in the success of others. On the face of it, this seems like a very unhealthy pairing. Not knowing who broke up with whom, of course, but I am hoping that it was Adam realizing that this relationship couldn’t work for him, even though he cared for Cheeks (and apparently that was reciprocated).
Just surmise, of course, but that’s how I see it.
And as you say, the album may put it out there for us.
asif, that was a particularly classic piece of google translate fail! I’ll save it to use with students who insist that they don’t need to actually learn any languages, they can always run it through an online tranalator…lol!
Krads, that would be a fun class to teach.
And a bonus to them “Damn You Auto Correct”
Your class will be a hoot.
G’night All.
Still have some jetlag.
The other day I got up at 7, jumped in for a quick shower and got ready to go to work. It turned out to be 7 pm. Went back to sleep until the next day.
I think Sauli like Adam came from a very loving and accepting family. Cheeks on the other hand was one of those youths that was sent to be de-gayed. It didn’t work of course and he wrote that leaving Texas for L.A. was his best move. I thought after Adam and Drake broke up it would be nice if he and Cheeks got back together and they were seen together several times but I feel the same things that ended their previous relationship were still there. Sauli is like a breath of fresh air. They may not last(I hope they do) but for Adam at this time in his career this happiness is just what he needs. He’s happy, we are happy and hopefully good music has been created.
Loved your post, jojosie. ITA.
asif, I love love love teaching. Very sorry to have to stop for my mother’s health issues. The first day of school was hard, when I stayed home.
But there will ba time for that again, and my mother has to be my priority now.
And not teaching does give me more Adam time!
Wow Adam in red! Sauli looked amazing too. I really really like him. I never cared for cheeks and Drake was just too gloomy and down in the dumps acting.
Wonder how long the goatee will be around this time.
The waters from last night’s storm have receded somewhat here in Southern Maryland, but was up till 4:30 a.m. bailing out the basement again. First an earthquake, then a hurricane, today’s flooding – what next – a plague of locusts?
Love the BM pics – cheered me up this morning.
I think that Sauli would not show pictures from BM without Adam’s permission. I love the way Adam let us take a peek in his life without doing it himself. Smart boy.
“Mad Adam beyond the Thunderdome”. The best description ever.
Re: Adam relationships. I read somewhere that Adam split from Brad, cause he caught him cheating. I really don’t know Adam and I’m just speculating, but he seems to be a very loyal person and is monogamous in his love relationships. I read interview with Sauli some time ago and he said that this is what he expect from his partner – monogamy. I guess their life philosophy matches.
From what I saw Sauli is very warm and cuddly person not afraid to show his emotions. They make each other happy and I hope for their happiness to last.
I know that nothing last forever and every relationship evolves, but quite often it evolves in the right direction and people stay together for many, many years thru good and bad.
End of rant.
OKSANA When you’re lucky enough to meet the right person, which it sure seems Adam has (and Sauli too), it can last til death do us part. But it all depends on what people REALLY want out of a relationship and more so what they are willing to put into the relationship. There is a balance that must be struck that works for both people…harmony if you will. Successfully finding that balance of give and take, compromise, sharing, trust and honesty. It’s not just enough to love someone or the idea of loving someone. A lasting relationship is work. You get out of it what you are willing to put into it. My hubby and I just celebrated our 39th Anniversary and although neither of us would or could find happiness anywhere else, our relationship is still evolving and deserves love, respect, attention everyday. Now that’s a rant, lol!!!!!
PlanetFierce, of course it is. Only very young or very stupid think that “they lived happily ever after”.
I know just one thing, if your attitude is “gimme, gimme, gimme” you will most likely fail. Being control freak doesn’t help either, unless you choose partner that loves to be controlled. Then it’s match made in heaven..
wry chuckle, ultimathule…just what I said the other day! Sending dry karma to southern Maryland…my family helped to settle Calvert County a billion years ago, btw, so I feel a real link to your distress.
Re relationships…I also think that here in the US we put too much emphasis on romantic love for a marriage/long term relationship. Most of the best and longest relationships I know don’t include very much of that, and never did. Partners were chosen on the basis of respect, common goals and beliefs, and other very practical elements that are essential for a life partner. I had an Indian roommate in law school, and her parents arranged her marriage for her. I expressed surprise and dismay as her brothers interviewed candidates, but she assured me that this would result in a long and successful match like her parents. As it happened, she was right. I don’t know that love is the right word for what she feels for her husband, but they are definitely best friends and they share a good life and have raised three wonderful children. She says she would not have it otherwise.
I once read an article that held that all relationships fall on a continuum between passionate romantic love at one end, and comfortable mutual respect and admiration on the other. Those more to the left (the passionate romantic love) are statistically much shorter in duration than those on the right. That has definitely been reflected in my own life.
Relationship could start with passionate romantic love and with time evolve into comfortable mutual respect and admiration. As we know, passion doesn’t last forever, but FRIENDSHIP does. What people do not realize is that you have to like the person that you fall in love with. And believe me, it’s not always the case…
I’ll be back after I do some food shopping between thunderstorms. I think I have an hour..
I read somewhere that today is watch WWFM video viewing day. Fans are trying to pump up the number of views. So far there are 8000 more views.
Well, the fire’s still burnin here, just sayin

9/8/2010 Houston Texas! I believe this is nkd’s concert. Adam forgot the words to Sure Fire Winners and said “I don’t even know the words to my own song”.
Oksana,
I’m pretty sure I’ve also read and seen somewhere (long time ago) that Adam and Cheeks split because of cheating, and I think Adam was the one to break up.
But it was right near the time of my starting to follow him, so have no idea where I saw it.
Happy to see the BM pictures. They are certainly a gorgeous looking couple, and agree with what everyone has said about Sauli.
Not sure if I’d like BM, like my creature comforts too much, could do the camping part but need showers and toilets at the very least!
p.s Adam looks like Rons avatar here…
Love that both Adam and Sauli are equipped with metal water bottles in that pic! So practical…Adam hydrates/takes care of his voice even at BM.
Hi Kradamour
I can’t know if this is something that you’d be interested in … it’s strictly costume jewelry … but, when I saw it, for reasons unknown
, I thought of you.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390345069680&category=67681&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Hope the Link works. I’m thinking of buying one for myself.
Hi Ron…I like that jewelry too!
Mr.Lambert – master of recycling.
On Adamtopia peeps identified most of his BM evening look.
Jacket, pants, hat, necklace ; I don’t know how to bring the pictures, but it seems, that Adam doesn’t throw out ANYTHING.
I think that despite his current fortune Adam still remembers the hungry years. He likes good quality and expensive stuff,(medges anyone?) but still drives his Mustang…
I’m so pleased that Adam and Sauli went to BM and had such a great time. I bet it was very revitalizing and rejuvenating for Adam, and probably very eye-opening and revelatory for Sauli. I love the picture where they’re sitting on top of the car. Very Mad Max looking.
Sauli is so adorable. I love his write up of BM. He goes on and on about all of the challenges — the plane ride was awful, the layout was huge, I got lost, there was dust everywhere, it was gagging me… but then OMG “this was really the best week of my life EVER!” He makes me LOL. He is such a ray of sunshine.
And like others here have said, it totally warms my heart to see Adam and Sauli so happy together. I’m reminded of what Sauli said in a Finnish interview a couple of months ago about how he and Adam met. He wasn’t willing to say much, but what he did say spoke volumes: “I will say this… We smiled at each other and we haven’t stopped smiling since.” Ahhh.
Oh and re: Cheeks — as others here said, my understanding was that Cheeks cheated on Adam and that was the source of Adam’s broken heart that he has referred to. I don’t remember where I read it; it was a long time ago. I always imagine that when Adam sings Sleepwalker so intensely, he is putting himself back into that dark time of heartbreak and breakup with Cheeks.
Not sure I could do the burning man thing either. Did something similar when I was a teenager, minus the sex, drugs and rock & roll!!! Did a 5 day hiking program in the desert with 800 other teenagers, without running water, enough bathrooms or any other physical comforts. I remember a counselor telling me not to wash a fruit because we were rationing water. To make a long story short, I wound up getting hepatitis, which left me on bed rest for close to 3 months, due to “unsanitary living conditions”.
Don’t need that again!!!
I’m sure Adam is having a much better experience!!
HK fan, I thought the same thing about Ron’s avatar. There is a resemblance!
Wow, ultimathule…. I heard on the news this evening that they have already cancelled schools in Charles County for tomorrow due to the flooding. I thought of you when they mentioned this Southern Maryland area. We were hit hard today in Fairfax — still pouring and thundering outside. As a matter of fact, we lost internet for a couple of hours this evening. I’m just thankful we didn’t lose power.
Things should look up tomorrow — yay!!
Adam’s Project Runway thread on MJ is hilarious.
Trolls of the world – unite!
I have to read before MJ starts deleting…
BTW, MJ has posted a new thread about Adam being confirmed as a guest judge on Project Runway. Looking forward to that!
ETA: Oksana beat me to it.
Hi luval!
Good to know the Link works because it’s Canadian eBay and I thought it might not be viewable.
Yes, I like it too. Price is right. I might buy it.
cwm, whenever MJ has Adam related thread we always get some trolls.
Butthurt shows big time.
I’m glad that link to PR that I posted works for you..
Ron, I flove the ring! Hmmm…one of our sandbox-mates has sent me two lovely blingy fleur-de-lis rings, one VERY large (hi, cher!
), and I already had a third…I think I might be running out of fingers. Very tempting, though…
PennyRoyal has some fleur de lis earrings that I am coveting. He needs to extend the charity contribution to all purchases for just one day and they will be mine.
I like that ring too! It’s a fluer-de-lis and it looks like the zebra pants!!
Well I got a call last night a little after 7:00, it was cher. She had just arrived in Houston, for an unplanned overnight, before flying out this morning. So colligahou and I drive to the airport and take her and her friend to dinner. We took her for Tex-Mex of course! Fajitas, guacamole, spicy queso and margaritas! What a wonderful unexpected evening!
Sounds like fun, nkd. That cher really gets around!
cher definitely gets around. Everyone should stay prepared, you never know when you might get the call!
BTW, I’m sitting here waiting on my concert. Is Adam on yet?!!
I think we must still be dancing!
I had the best time at my long anticipated GNT concert, one year ago tonight.
My most memorable moments are his appearance at the top of the stairs for Voodoo, a fantastic Sleepwalker…wowwowwow…forgetting the words to SFW, and the absolute pure joy of IIHY.
Good for you, nkd!! I’m sure a good time was had by all.
How typical of you though not to invite me.
Love fajitas and margaritas. Really glad you had a nice time!
Happy Anniversary!
Was that the first time you saw Adam?
Hi Ron! Yes, that was my first time!
The fajitas and margaritas were so gooood!
Well, I didn’t actually have the fajitas last night, I had already eaten dinner.
But the margaritas were good!
It’s so nice to read about all the great friendships that have been made. The only person on here that I have seen before in person is Ron at the concert in Toronto.
