You wanta live forever? — Unknown platoon sergeant, 1918 I always get the shakes before a drop. I’ve had the injections, of course, and hypnotic preparation, and it stands to reason that I can’t really be afraid. The ship’s psychiatrist has checked my brain waves and asked me silly questions while I was asleep and he tells me that it isn’t fear, it isn’t anything important — it’s just like the trembling of an eager race horse in the starting gate. I couldn’t say about that; I’ve never been a race horse. But the fact is: I’m scared silly, every time. At D-minus-thirty, after we had mustered in the drop room of theRodger Young , our platoon leader inspected us. He wasn’t our regular platoon leader, because Lieutenant Rasczak had bought it on our last drop; he was really the platoon sergeant, Career Ship’s Sergeant Jelal. Jelly was a Finno-Turk from Iskander around Proxima — a swarthy little man who looked like a clerk, but I’ve seen him tackle two berserk privates so big he had to reach up to grab them, crack their heads together like coconuts, step back out of the way while they fell.

  • Ana Salvatore Envision a Rainbow of Glittering Lights and 20000 Starry
    Time for Them to Fly? Ana Salvatore Envision a rainbow of glittering lights and 20,000 starry-eyed pre-teen girls screaming at the top of their lungs. I attended a Jonas Brothers concert last August and the energy of fans was mind- boggling. Bombarded with this teeny-bop fanaticism, my mind revisited a time when boy bands sent my hormones reeling. My heart spun back to my first concert ten summers ago starring the oh-so-dreamy Backstreet Boys. I was ten, and Nick Carter was a few years older. Just a few. But he was beautiful. His beach-blonde hair had a tendency to look perfectly disheveled and his bright blue eyes had Cupid sending arrows through my heart. Among Nick’s many big-screen moments that night, there was one on-camera appearance that I remember vividly: singing “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” and dancing with slight indecency, he had me love struck. The Backstreet Boys engendered in me the same magical and feverish obsession that defines Jonas Brothers fans. As is characteristic of boy band worship, fans live and breathe anything and everything that emanates J-O-N-A-S. But where do these obsessive-compulsive personalities come from? On the surface, girls are attracted to the brothers’ image as a band: drool-worthy good looks, a unique, punk-infused-prep style, and an energetic stage presence. Lured by these dazzling visuals, fans deem the trio rock n’ roll eye-candy. “They’re perfect, everything about them,” raves my fourteen year old sister. Encompassing this perceived perfection, however, is a much larger force of attraction: the two-dimensionality of it.

  • Jose Varela There Are Very Few Things in Life That I Have Ever Truly Been
    Jose Varela There are very few things in life that I have ever truly been ashamed of. Loosing my concert virginity to the Jonas Brothers, however, tops my list. I didn’t want to; I was saving myself for the Miley Cyrus’ Best of Both Worlds Concert! But birthdays in the Varela household work like this: if my twin brother and I are turning an odd number, I choose how we will celebrate; if it’s an even year, he chooses. So for our sixteenth birthday, my brother had the bright idea of attending our first concert ever! An even brighter idea, attend the Jonas Brother’s When You Look Me in the Eyes Tour! Please, consider my sarcasm! On February 2nd, 2008, my brother, two friends, and I arrived at the Gibson Amphitheatre located just behind Universal Studios. We got real good seats, actually, and had to fight off some chicks who were sitting in our seats. Speaking of women, there were too many of them. I could probably count five guys in the crowd, and then gave up. As we sat and awaited the concert to begin, the crowd kept shouting “Jonas! Jonas! Jonas!” (which by the way we started). Just then Nicholas Jerry Jonas, Joseph Adam Jonas, and Paul Kevin Jonas rose up from underneath the stage—leave it to the Jonas Brothers to do something so original! Because as we all know, these young boys are what sportscaster Jim Nantz calls, “the next Beatles.” Regardless, every female in the room began screaming, jumping, crying, and singing “Year 3000.” Multitaskers.
