Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I am an Elvis fan. I have been to Graceland once (See pic below). I have more CD's and books on Elvis than any other artist. I have atleast 10 Elvis shirts or T-shirts. I have posters. I have my work computer and my home computer with Elvis as my screensaver.I get goose bumps when I hear an Elvis song come on the radio.
I don't know why I am such an Elvis fan but I just am. Love him or hate him, I adore him, his music and his legend. Young, oh so fine Elvis or even fat, jumpsuit wearing bloated Elvis. I like his music in all the phases of his life. I am even a member of an Elvis fan club. I have even dressed as Elvis for Halloween. Guess you could call me an Elvis freak. But that's okay. I don't mind.
Today marks the 29th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. So in honor and in memory of the king of rock-n-roll, I dedicate this blog entry to him. May his legend only continue to grow and we all know he's the richest dead entertainer.
Now, excuse me as I go make me a peanut butter and nanner sandwich.
A couple Elvis quotes:"I ain't no saint, but I've tried never to do anything that would hurt my family or offend God...I figure all any kid needs is hope and the feeling he or she belongs. If I could do or say anything that would give some kid that feeling, I would believe I had contributed something to the world." -Elvis commenting to a reporter, 1950's.
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain’t got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song. Goodnight. Thank you.” -From his acceptance speech for the 1970 Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation Award. Given at a ceremony on January 16, 1971. (Elvis quotes from copyrighted material with lines from the song “Without a Song”.)

A FAVORITE POEM:
A Mermaid's Love
The sea is calling me, but only for a time, a time to return to thee and thy love divine. I swim out among waves, through the rocks the and great caves, thinking only of thee my love... Although we are from different worlds it never could be wrong, for thou knowest I will return, singing the mermaid's song... The clams, oysters, whales know it to be true, that all is love and all my love I only give to you... So come to me, oh sailor on the land, come with me and gently take my hand... For I will love you always, and always is as long as the sea meets the sand..

I love his songs and I 3 Elvis CDs. My fav from him is 'Suspicious Minds'...whats ur's?
Keshi.
I remember Elvis dying like some people remember the day Kennedy was shot.
Wow.
“ ‘Til we meet you again, may God bless you. Adios.”
-Said in 1977 at the end of a concert during his last tour.
Hope you are having a good week.
Thank you all for your comments.
Or as Elvis would say
"Thank you.....Thank you very much"
Blessings!
