No, no worries, the entries will not be posted on the forum for everyone to view. Chad and myself will be the only ones viewing the entries and we'll be personally picking who we feel the winners are, rather than have you guys vote.
After the contest is all done, by all means, anybody who wants to can feel free to post theirs on the forum for everybody to share! ^_^ And anyone who'd rather not is more than welcome to keep it private, so don't worry.

JUST A REMINDER!!
The deadline for entry is TOMORROW, so any last minute entries...time is running out!!
The deadline will be 10:00 PM Central Standard Time, at which point we'll begin looking at what you guys have sent in. I'm SO excited to be able to read these, and I know I speak for Chad too when I say that we can't wait to pick some winners and hand out some prizes!
I'd also like to thank all of you who have decided to participate and once again, thank you for all of the kind words regarding this contest. It's the first one I've been lucky enough to be involved in, and you guys are truly making it a wonderful experience.
-Matt

who won, who won?? OMG the suspense is killing me!!! Sorry, but that information won't be disclosed for quite a while yet. The entries have to be looked over with heavy consideration before a winner is revealed. Don't expect to see the results anytime in the immediate future. ...however, don't fret. We aren't talking like, a period of months and months here. It's just something that will have to be handled in more than a day.

any world on whats happening with this, cuz its been like 12 days i think im just gonna buy one from dst site Well you know what? Nobody ever got anything by being impatient. Chad has been busy with school and I can't very well pick a winner without him, so everyone will just have to hold out for a bit longer. I'm sorry for everyone who is being inconvenienced by the delay of results. -Matt

Alright, so just to keep things fresh in case the wait for the contest is bothering other people as well...I've taken a wonderful suggestion from Hadley and decided to do my own song here and explain why it's the song I would choose. So, I've chosen "Why Not" by Hilary Duff.
You think you're going nowhere When you're walking down the street Acting like you just don't care And life can be so sweet And why you wanna be like that Since there's nothing new You're not fooling no one You're not even fooling you
So walk a little slower And open up your eyes Sometimes it's so hard to see The good things passing by And there may never be a sign No flashing neon light I'm telling you to make your move Or when the time is right
Chorus----- (So) Why not? (Why not?) Take a crazy chance Why not? (Why not?) Do a crazy dance If you lose the moment You might lose a lot So why not? (Why not?)
(Why not take a crazy chance, why not take a crazy chance)
You always dress in yellow When you wanna dress in gold Instead of listenin' to your heart You do just what you're told You keep waiting where you are And what you'll never know Let's just get into your car And GO baby GO!
Chorus----- (So) Why not? (Why not?) Take a crazy chance Why not? (Why not?) Do a crazy dance If you lose the moment You might lose a lot So why not? (Why not?)
Ohhhhhhh I can be the one for you Ohhhh yea Maybe yes maybe no Ohhhhhhh It could be the thing to do What I'm sayin' is Ya gotta let me Go-o-o
(ay,ya etc.) Oh!
You'll never get to heaven Or even to L.A. If you don't believe There's a wayyyy
Why not? (Why not?) Take yourself from the sky (echo) Why not? (Why not?) Spread your wings and fly Oh! It would take a little And it might take a lot But why not? (Why not?) Oh!
Why not? (Echo- take a crazy chance) Take a crazy chance Why not? (Echo-do a crazy dance) Do a crazy dance If you lose the moment You might lose a lot So why not? (Why not?)
The reason I decided to go with this song is because, in a nutshell, this is how I live my life and the way I like to approach situations. Earlier on in my younger years, I used to be really shy (it's true) and actually had no friends at all. I always wished I could be popular, but the truth was...I wasn't, because of the fact that I never did anything to make it happen.
It wasn't until I hit high school that I busted out of my shell and let my true self be seen to the world, and you know what? People liked it! Suddenly, I had more friends than I knew what to do with. And all of that was because I figured out...nothing ever gets accomplished by 'playing it safe' and just staying inside of your protective bubble.
I actually listen to this song every morning before I leave the house just as a little reminder to myself about that. Ever since I decided to 'take a crazy chance' everytime I wanted something back in high school, things seemed to turn out for the best. If you never take any chances, you always wind up living in regret and wondering what could've happened if you would've taken that shot.
That's something I think everyone on this forum (or anywhere, for that matter) should always remember. You're all wonderful people and you all deserve the best. And you never know...the next time you take a wild shot at trying something, you might just be able to make all of your dreams come true!

Very cool look at Hilary's song, Matt! It shows that they're really is some depth in those songs of hers. Thanks for opening my eyes a little. Any news on the results? Maybe not a specific date for when you might tell us, but just to let us know where you are in the process... Have you both read them yet or are you deciding or have you even read them at all!! Just a little hint lol Sorry If I sound like I'm nagging or anything, I'm just curious.

Unfortunately, I really can't give a specific time frame at this time. I wish I could, but there are certain factors out of my control. I've already gone through all of the entries myself and formed my own thoughts as to what I like and what I don't, but Chad has been very busy with college (he's doing great, everybody! WOOT WOOT!) so the process has been slowed down a little bit just because of conflicting schedules and just general busy...ness.
And don't worry!! You're not nagging at all. I'm actually glad hype and curiousity for the results are still existant; plus, I much prefer the way -you- asked, anyway.

"And don't worry!! You're not nagging at all. I'm actually glad hype and curiousity for the results are still existant; plus, I much prefer the way -you- asked, anyway." the -you- meaning against me when i asked i was just wondering if anything had happened, if they were read or anything NOT TO NAG i know ur busy with lives, and im glad that Chad is busy with college then screwing it over by going to a Buffy Figure site, thats the smart thing to do glad to hear the one of u has read them i check back everyday to see if its been announced, but i can wait longer considering ive waited for things longer before, much longer take ur time
