Hi Everyone!
Its been forever since ive posted, and the community has grown alot. So for the sake of the new members and the ones i just haven't met yet i would like to introduce myself and share my Jason story.
My name is Marissa, Im 18 years old and i live in NJ. When i was 13 my family and i were on vaction, my parents had been fighting alot so they were spending as much time apart as possible. while in the car with my dad wordplay came on. i was instantly amazed by the lyrics and his ability to sing them so fast. i was more amazed that my dad knew all the words. i asked my dad who the singer was and he told me 'Jason Mraz, you know him, he sings the Remedy' of course i knew the song but i didnt know the man behind the song. I then challenged my dad and told him i would learn all the words to Wordplay before vacation was over. And i did! Shortly after our vacation ended my parents told my sisters and i that they were getting divorced. Of course i was upset but ive never been good with emotion. so instead of crying and dealing i threw myself into Jason Mraz, i was determined to learn every song and everything about him. it didnt take long before i was obsessed. i was on the computer day and night watching a new youtube video, learning a new song, or reading a different interview. then i discovered the blog. at this point he was blogging on myspace, and i went back and read every single word. 5 years later and i am still clinging on to every word this man sings and writes. And i still find myself turning to him when im upset. On January 5th my great grandmother died, she was the most amazing women i ever knew. when she died i was devasted and i found myself with The Sunshine Song on repeat, for days that was the only song i listened to. I guess my point is that the day i found jason changed my life, its almost as if he knew i would be suffering and he came along to soften the blow. Being a part of this community and meeting new friends who share my passion is a blessing. I thank every single one of you for being a part of this community and a special thanks to Jam(MrazGal) for bringing us all together
