Do not be led astray...I am here, not there, not everywhere. Although the meaning may be hidden, my words are never buried. You always recognize my presence and hear my voice. It is a great compliment. I hear you as well, and continue to do so with an open mind. My lovelies, it has been far too long since I addressed you directly. Please don't be mad.
It was never my intent to stay, you have given me a path, and I will wander. Judgments aside for the moment, the most promising of you have made this a phenomenal place to find importance in reason; the process of it. Dare I say we complement one another?
p.s. some are not obligated to wear the wool and others do it for good measure.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1617 Newer› Newest»Wow guys.
You are just shit outta luck if you leave here for more than an hour. Answer me these two things:
1. Was the Shitsubou Shita that posted here today the REAL SS? Or was it some faker dude?
2. Is "An Interested Party" our dear and beloved Mayo?
Hello everyone, Mayo included! I'm in a better humor today Mayo, so you won't hear any spoutin' off from me.
As for 'm': My sincerest and deepest apologies for one, lashing out on your ass this morning in reference to your comment you left BC, and two, capitalizing your name. I'll refrain from pressing "Shift" next time ;)
Anything else I should know to catch up?
Unfortunately Kari, I, nor anyone else, is certain who that person is. I indeed was lurking, but I did not pay much attention to observing their comments. As martha mentioned, I think we may need to relax a little. A interested party could be just another random person as far as we know.
Hello, mustard. How are you?
The earlier SS was very fake.
P.S. The SS that posted today is indeed an imposter, mustard. We call him Shit Shita for short.
marthajones:
i don't know for sure what exactly went wrong with interested party, but i know you didn't do anything.
i think it was mostly just
misinterpretation.
so rest easy, okay? :)
mustardisbetter:
1. yes, that was shit shita.
2. hmmmmm. good question!
I should've started that comment with a 'Hey Mustard!how are you today?' sorry :)
Dude BC, I am whipped. Too tired. And I've got stuff that needs to be done, too. I should not be on the computer, but I am, and that's what matters :)
How is everything going with you? Holding this place down I presume?
After I read what you said I deleted my comment. I have caught Bh13 up on today's events.
Hello to you all!
Thanks for updating me. I didn't want to get turned back around, for like the fiftieth-billionth time. Everything else besides those two things just looked like conversation, which I was very glad to see. Sorry I couldn't take part.
Mustard, I am doing well, except I am enduring a "monthly visit" if you know what I mean. I snapped at the delicious jar of Mayo earlier today, which was the highlight of my existence :)
As for being a solitare blogger, I cannot hold this fort down. Too much pressure and stress weighs in on myself and my psyche ;p I enjoy relying on others for help.
I wish he would have joined in more.
He wanted to I don't know what stopped him. I hope he comes back and is more talkative.
Toujours, We were perfectly behaved people.
I think he/she was just articulating their internal thoughts to us.
A pity really, It would have been more interesting to fully participate in conversation.
Hello mustard. How are you.
BC, you're not going to believe this, or maybe you will. I opened the fridge today and therein lied my bottle of mayonnaise. And next to it was my bottle of mustard and some pickle relish. I kid you not, I had a full fledged conversation in my head with the mayo, the mustard, and the pickle relish. This shit is seriously causing brain damage ;)
I'm okay MarthaJones. Thanks for asking. How 'bout yourself?
Martha,
However that was, they may be a very shy person hiding behind a intellectual veneer.
marthajones, i wish he would've stayed longer to talk, too.
kari, i honestly didn't think i had been rude, but it's hard to tell how you're words will be read on the internet.
i hope his next visit will be more enjoyable. i had fun this time!
Hahaha! Mustard that's hilarious and I can very well believe it.
Earlier, I used mustard on my sndwich and I thought about you(not in a stalker way, just that your name is awesome,lol) and Mayo and just this whole blog network.
Still cant sleep and I have two cats trying to molest me.
ugh.
did i really type "you're" instead of "your"?
i'm going to burn in hell now.
Toujours, how could anyone interpret you as rude?
You are so sweet.
I'm sure you did not offend them.
Aw,martha, is the sleepy tea not working? You sure you don't have catnip in your pocket?
Mustard, you had a conversation with your condiments? Oh, I believe you concerning the brain damage part. Our jar of Mayonaise is certaintly corrupting our fragile minds bit by bit. ;D
"We are family. I got all my sisters with me." :D
No, I seriously understand entropy. I really feel close to you all. We've shared a lot of things in the past month and a half. I sometimes think you guys are my real life friends, not just my internet buddies, and I'll wanna go, "Guess...what...(insert name here) said today?!" But then I have to refrain because the person I would address the question to would look at me really strange and I don't do well with people giving me funny looks.
Except Mayo, because he's good like that. Aren'tcha Mayo? ;)
^I agree with kari.
oh, geez, kari.
that's so nice of you to say!
thank you!
:)
Yeah I kinda thought that so I asked about the movie and brought up heroes to see if he would bite. I don't know much about the movie so I want to see what he thought of it.
Mustardisbetter
I love your name!!!!
I have to go now.
Goodnight all!!!
Goodnight to Mayo too!
Yep, you're going to burn in hell entropy. Get you're you'res and yours right ;)
Sorry about your cats there MJ. Sucks that you're being molested. You'd think with your initials it'd be the other way around :)
*The winky icon is my friend tonight and I will resist using anymore Michael Jackson humor.
ah, entropy!
*blush*
Goodnight Kari! :)
See ya Kari.
And thanks for the name compliment. Mayo secretly wishes me dead because he's not as good as mustard. All of what I just said is true, I swear.
Aw Mustard that was sweet and exactly how i feel,you couldn't have said it better.
I have two very need cats and they have been doing this all day. so I might and just not know it.
^^^Brainfart.
Entropy, you won't burn in hell, but Toujours will. I got them mixed up. Tell Satan to send you back Entropy.
Night Kari.
Night Kari!
Sleep well.
you guys make me laugh :)
I think that is what are friend wanted. to laugh.
*Cheesy Grin*
Alright, I know I just got here, but I'm going to have to bow out for the night. I'll see you all around the condiments in the fridge tomorrow. Toodles.
*And while I'm thinking about the refridgerator: Did any of you ever try to see if that light went off when you shut the fridge door. Like, you'd squint through the crack to see if it turned off or stayed on? I'm so guilty of doing that.
Hey! Satan let me go!
yes and sometime I still do.
That is true Martha, and of course, I love you guys as well ;)
Aww you have to leave so soon mustard? Aw well. Good night and sweet dreams. As for the refridgerator topic, I have tried that once when I was younger.
Goodnight mustard!
I'll think of you while eating my sndwiches.Hope to talk to you tomorrow.
I have done that, sadly. :)
Night mustard. I may follow soon the cats have run off and I am free. But I probably still won't sleep
you guys are all so funny and friendly! :D
i've had such a great weekend --
i came down sick and was just going to stay in bed,
and instead i ended up in front of the computer all weekend long.
chicken soup, hot tea, and mayo -- the best recipe to make one get well! lol
i got an account,
and even started a blog
(couldn't see the account going to waste, after all)
and best of all,
had so many interesting discussions and fun conversations!
i'm really dreading going back to work tomorrow, because i know i'll miss something good.
*sigh*
but, gotta earn the pittance that keeps me alive *heh*
so i'd best say good night,
and scoot.
good night everyone, keep the blog warm for me! :)
and good night to you, too, mayo!
Awww good night to you too toujours. Take care and sweet dreams!
toujours have sweet dreams. I was sick this week to. Didn't go into work for almost a week. Now I'm back and I really can stand it. This is my heaven.
Goodnight toujours! Sleep well and hope to talk to you tomorrow,work does suck, mine certainly does, but coming here after always makes it better(even during,shh).
Can't stand it.
Wow martha you were sick too? It seems many people I know have gotten down with something. Thus the reason with the appointment I had to attend to. Is there anyone else us on besides you, me, and entropy?
I don't think so. My job is very physical so it wears me out, there is also the fact that my bosses are the stupidest people to walk the earth. So I was mentally worn out too.
I had a salmonella scare, it was definately scary. I had one of those chicken pot pies that were being recalled, I was kinda mad, they let us know the pies were bad AFTER we eat them, but in the end I didn't get anything.
That was my story about being sick but not.
That does sound like something that can worn you out, but with coming to this site and having decent conversations, I hope it makes up for it :) I like to come here when I feel like escaping from stress.
Martha, your job does seem pretty sucky, sorry about that, but i do hope we make it better :)
This place is very nice for that. When I think about it at work I smile but I have to hide it because I don't think my bosses like for people to be happy. I really mean that. It seems like if I'm happy they have to come along and do something to upset me.
Ig you guys are sticking around for a bit more,Do you think we should move our talking to the discuss mayo blog? So that we don't get in trouble in the mouring?
Danm, your bosses seem like total asses, I think they need a couple of kicks to set them straight.
yes.
that was an *if
I don't know how I didn't catch that.
But ok and BC?
Yep I'm here
Do you guys happen to have the link to the discuss mayo blog? I dont have it saved on my computer
WE are at the other blog.
We moved it to the discuss mayo blog to not get in trouble in the mourning.You have the link?
http://discussmayo.blogspot.com/
http://discussmayo.blogspot.com/
You guys are at the other blog already?
Thank you!
Good night Interested Party. I hope you join us again. Don't be so shy next time we won't bite.
Goodnight to any lurkers and observers here!
You to Mayo.
I keep popping in and out, but I wanted to acknowledge this:
I leave to the opening of "Kiss Them For Me" by Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Banshees are beautiful!
Arghhhhh! i've no time to catch up. hope i didn't miss anything too important. hope you guys are all holding your own so to speak! am off to check out the other blogs before lunch! bye.
interested party,
So sorry I missed talking to you. I hope you will make another visit.
right had a scan through. i don't care if i don't have any lunch goddammit!
an interested party sounds uum interesting????? would it be foolish to think its mayo himself??
you guys might've already discussed this i just couldn't read it all.
oh well will have to see if he/she re appears!
so do I
Guess we will have to wait and see.
Oh Christ, me + 4 hours of sleep + 10 hour double shift workday = epic mindcrash at around the 5 hour mark. I love to sleep so this is just suck. And I hardly ever have a problem sleeping, not in the last few years anyway so when I do it freaks me out a little. I fell asleep thinking of that fake SS going "OMG DID U JUST THREATEN TO PUNCH ME IN THE VAGINA" and I woke up about a half an hour later laughing. Then I had a dream that someone was trying to shoot me but their gun shot pickle slices instead of bullets and I woke up laughing again. (Me waking up giggling is fairly common.) Then I went back to sleep and the dreams that time were like, the opposite of funny7 and they came with that ugly feeling. 4:30 AM till now, now when I have to go to work, high state of WTF.
All my friends and my family, I can call or email them and be like "Oh hi! Just callng to say, like, hi and stuff" and they'll all go, "Okay, what? Should I not travel?"
Mayo, do us* a favor would you sweetheart? Do that "pretending to be Gerard Way" thing you do and check in. Be a dear and say something like, "Hey it's all good!" I'll play along for once.
To the rest of you very awesome people, hello. Are you all doing well today? Hope you all have a great day. Chat** you guys later, huh?
*(The royal "we".)
**(Babble incoherently until I fall asleep on the keyboard.)
sdock,
Your most recent post was wonderful, expressed the junction he has arrived to so eloquently.
Your strength is conveying words from the deep recess of the heart.
omg, just been looking at last nights posts.
My spelling is atrocious.
Sorry interested party, too many late nights working on my thesis. And work , bah!
Kapunua, I know how you feel, I need to catch up on my sleep too.
Third post for the morning before I head off to work.
Mayo, could you please listen to Kapunua, and make a new post.
It's so easy, you don't even have to slip your "rockstar" mask on.
I promise from now on I'II play nice.
*winks*
Pretty please with sugar on top.
Morning all....How is everyone today?

kari,
Thank you so much for those kind words. You don't know how much I appreciate them.
We are meeting new friends daily. How nice.
Mayo's deleted blog is intriguing.
- Capture This Void not logged in.
Same here you all.
Have a wonderful day or night. Talk to you all at a later hour.
Kapunua:
I shall depend on you for my early morning giggle fest. "High state of WTF"? That's made of 15 different types of win in my book.
Mayo:
Today's the day for another post. Get on that, would ya? I enjoy reading what you have to say.
good morning all.
just thought i'd peek in on my way to check my email before getting off to work.
it seems pretty quiet at the moment, though, so i thought i'd take the time to say something i've been thinking about for a few days.
mayo, ss, and any of the other guys who might be lurking:
if it's time for mcr to end, then let it do so. there's no surprise to it, because you never said this band was going to be for forever. we always knew mcr was finite. it's part of your unique approach to this business.
of course, that's not a happy acknowledgement -- the idea of never getting to see you guys onstage again is a very dreary one. the four times i've seen you this past year have honestly been the highlights of it. but if the story is complete, if you've said what you came to say, then what can we do but accept it?
however, if this is, instead, a difficult time in the band's life, if this is, rather, a test of your courage after the fame and intense workload of this past year, then to give up now would be the wrong thing to do.
this period may be your heroic struggle that allows you to win out over the rock & roll stereotype once and for all. if you can make it through this crisis intact, then you can stand proud. you'll have slain the minotaur at the heart of the labyrinth.
none of us who congregate here, or on any of the message boards and forums and fan-sites, can know what's really going on with the band. our guesses, if we guess right, are only the merest tip of the iceberg. so all we can do is watch and pray for our band to have enough strength and clarity to determine which is the true course for themselves.
so, which is it, guys? is the story over, book closed; or are you just now facing your dragon?
either way, i'm cheering you on, because you've been a fine example to someone who is also trying to make a living being true to her artistic ideals. that won't change, regardless of what happens.
so!
that's my morning essay, i guess!
i know i'll be back later on today -- as if i could stay away -- so i'll just say save a spot for me, people, and if any intriguing anons stop by, try to keep them hanging around until i get back, okay?
later, friends!
later, mayo!
I second you Toujours. There's nothing more that I can add or detract. Fight it or walk away peacefully. For me, I just want to know that they still have their whole heart in what they're doing, and if it isn't, maybe this would be the best time to go seperate directions. Maybe their job here is done, but if they're willing to fight another day, I'm willing to stay around and help. I'm never gonna give up on them, be it a bump in the road or a departure. I'm going to keep fighting.
You guys are so dramatic, it makes me cringe inside.
I noticed someone posted the link to the Lyn Z buzznet. I'm hoping against hope that this is a fake account, because if it isn't then this woman is worse then the hair dresser by far! Here's a snippet of "Miss Way's" newest blog...
I don't usually RANT like this.
In fact, I'm a very calm person!
I am also never on the computer as much as I am now.
Sweet niblets I'm a Buzznet whore.
AN-Y-WAY.
So someone wrote a letter to My Chemical Romance, CRITICIZING THEM for taking "a racist, sexist, and homophobic band" on tour with them!
Three guesses who the pinhead was talking about.
Haha, your ignorance is pathetic and disgusting.
We write music for people with senses of humor.
Don't like it, don't listen.
Last time I checked, no one was forcing you to buy our records.
It's just proof of what Gerard, and so many other people warned me about.
You really are willing to bring someone down at any cost.
I'll have you know, this band has thick skin.
Takes more than throwing complete CRAP at us to kill us.
But it hurts my feelings.
It does.
I try to be tough, but ever since I got married, all I've felt from people is hate.
Some love, yes.
But. So. Much. Hate.
First of all, to whoever wrote this, and to anyone else who doesn't understand the reasoning behind many fans anger about MSI opening for MCR I will enlighten you.
Satiracle or not, songs glorifying pedophilia, drug use, the demeaning of women and fellow human beings alike may be funny to some,but to the majority of people it is reprehensive.
You say, if you don't like it don't listen. Well what about all those MCR fans in Europe who bought tickets without being told who the opener would be. MSI shows have an age limit to get in, that has to say something about the content of the shows. Why should MCR fans have to sit through that just so they can see the headliner.
Bottom line, there is a reason no major label will touch MSI, because while yes they have some small hard core following they were never in a position to make the label millions of dollars like some people we know. NOW, however MSI are in a position to where they can usher in the impressionable teenage youth who will blindly follow their leader (mr. mayo anyone) and snatch up MSI merch, records, ect...because it's suddenly cool.
I've noticed that most of the people who comment these blogs are adults some with children of their own, and are able to look past the blazing teenage hype and see the real picture of what is happening with this band.
I will tell you that I have worked with WB records before and know people who still do. If you think WB and Reprise are not aware of the turmoil Mr. Mayo's actions are causing among the fan base you are wrong. Check e-bay and see how many of the tickets for the European shows are up for grabs.
And what about the hair dresser? The MCR fandom ripped the woman to shreds because of her "clear lack of respect for Gerard's privacy" by using the internet to imply she and he were involved. I was one of those people who couldn't stand her, until I was offered some truths.
All I will say is that if she were really the evil fame monger we all made her out to be wouldnt she still be here? Wouldn't she be on buzznet posting every picture she has, talking openly about the relationship and continuing to use him to bolster her own fame? Instead she disappears into the internet black hole never to be heard from again.
She's somewhere now nursing a broken heart and trying to understand why she was the shadow woman for two years while this new flame was happily brought into the open with sharpie messages and tacky t-shirts after a couple of weeks. I could be wrong, maybe she really was as evil as she was made out to be, but in the aftermath of what's happened over the last few months I don't see that.
Holy hell I've written a novel here. Please forgive me, it's habit. Thanks for letting me speak my mind, and please, all of you, don't stop coming to these blogs and expressing yourselves, whether you believe it or not, you are being heard.
Sleep-Deprived-R-Us!! What's shakin', everybody?
Today is the day to look on the bright side. I have *one* eye open! And at 9:19 in the AM, that's the best I can expect.
I really hope I didn't scare our "interested party" away last night. We all know my tendency to mouth off is just that -- ol' Sis Midnite is screwing around yet again. SO interested party, if you're reading this: I only pick on people I like. :)
*yawn* So what's new in Blogland, beloveds? Did I miss anything? ((Talk to me, dammit. Otherwise I have to work. *laugh* ))
Ketchup kicks ass, Some great points well made there. I can't help but agree with that.
Thanks MissTottenham. It just infuriates me when people use satire as an excuse for MSI's lyrical content. At least have enough balls to say they do it for shock value and the hope of getting attention. None of them are smart enough to even know what true satire is....It's just nice being able to come here and have discussions without having the teenies rip you apart.
All I will say is that if she were really the evil fame monger we all made her out to be wouldn't she still be here?
I always rather thought that she may have ditched him, due to the growing internet hype over the relationship that was never confirmed. Some of the things I've read some people say are down right scary, especially when you realize that it's not just one or two of those fans that believe it.
It's sounding like it's not an emotional breakdown of the relationship so much as these women getting scared off, which is really a shame...
I agree, it's the people who have no talent who have to make the loudest noise to gisguise that fact.
And once the shock value wears off, what are they left with then - a blaringly obvious lack of anything worthwhile to say.
great points ketchup kicks ass. and great name!
That last remark was in respose to ketchup kicks ass. Regarding Eliza, I know nothing about her except that one day she was there. I don't know where she came from or anything about her. But it seems strange how he never publicly acknowledged her but Lynz is thrust upon us.
and ketchup kicks ass:
inclined to agree,as we probably all do, anyone after "e-fame" would have been blogging like crazy. Probably guilty of no more than being naive,giddy and indiscrete.
However, as it seems the owner of this blog may have requested that it is let lie, perhaps we should respect his wishes and the privacy she obviously now desires.
Sorry if I seem harsh, not intentional.
Love to all!
I have never liked MSI, way before all of this. I've always thought them to be a two bit wanna be punk band that would do anything to get their names somewhere on paper.
I'm still trying to understand why Linken Park agreed to let them play PR. Although I'm sure in the aftermath of all that happened during that tour I wouldnt be surprised if they regret bringing them on board. The message of PR was lost amongst the smeared black ink and purple unicorns.
That awful unicorn was back.
Melodrama, golly gee. I thought unicorns were the friendliest of all friendly mythical creatures.
Or is it suddenly snazzy to be a complete ogre?
I agree dei gratia. I've never uttered the names of Gerards girls on these pages before and all I can say in regard to either one is that I don't know much about them. I don't join in that gossip.
I can say that regarding MSI's lyrics, innapropriate for any situation is what springs to mind.
Ketchup kicks ass, I don't understand why a band that spouts that kind of stuff would be invited on anybody's tour full stop.
Hey Miss T,
Thanks! How are you?
Ketchup: agree with the MSI stuff, totally!
I hope I didn't come off as a gossiper because that wasn't my intention. And I always try to refrain from using names, other then posting a snippet of that blog. It was just something I had been thinking about.
Somehow I don't see this tour as being a succesful venture for the band, maybe for MSI, but not for MCR. It has hurt their credability among fans and other bands as well because it goes against the very message Gerard preached about.
Does anyone remember the tour Marilyn Manson did with Hole? It lasted I think 6 shows before both bands realized it wasn't going to work. The fan bases are diffrent, the bands total opposites. I see this all as a potential disaster. But I could be wrong.
Look at that guys!
The fairy horse has made another appearance. Now we're "so dramatic." Good to know, little one-horned horse. If you're gonna come here and share your opinion, the least you could do is join in on the conversation.
Hi there Ketchup. If you don't mind me asking, what did you do for Warner? Working at a label (preferably Indie, not the big man's corporation) is part of my dream job, and I've never spoken with anyone on the matter. You can reply (if you wish to) in the discussmayo blog @ discussmayo.blogspot.com so as to not spam up Mayo's little diddy.
There's going to be a Battle of The Condiments. I can feel it. Just as soon someone comes in here as Horseradish or Pickle Relish, the game is on!
Hi dei gratia! I'm fine how are you today.
Yeah, Ketchup kicks ass, I can see it all being a potential dissaster. They should realise the incompatability and dump MSI off the tour. But I've got a feeling that won't happen cos they'll get just enough support from the teenies who will worship anything that has even a remote connection to Gerard.
You can call me "Sweet Piccalilli" if you like!!!
I understand where you are coming from with regards to MSI playing without fans knowledge and the influence their lyrics could have on young listeners.
But please remember MCR ' were ' punk and wrote songs about drugs etc.
MSI are out for shock value, thats kind of the point of punk, and if you were in my house at the moment you would probably be disgusted by the song currently playing ( it's not MSI )
I have my own theories as to why MSI might be tagging along. Check out my blog if you want. Don't know if I'm talking out of the back of my head but it could be true.
yeah mustard, condiment war. I want to be malt vinegar girl, I love that on my fish and chips.
Mayo,
Since the subject of U2 was brought up again last night, let me tell you a little story.
When I was a young teenager, I heard a song one day coming out of the small radio with a coat hanger for an antenna in my room that made me stop everything and listen. That song was "New Year's Day". It wasn't the singer's voice that caught me, but the passion and heart behind the voice, along with the music itself.
Fast forward to last year, and while cleaning my living room I heard a song from the large TV with surround sound that also made me stop everything and listen. That song was "Famous Last Words".
Again, it wasn't the singer's voice, it was the passion and heart behind it, and the music itself.
Different time, different format, same feeling.
Do you have any idea how rare a gift that is? To have a voice that can literally grab people by the heart and soul? Many, many people have great voices, but very, very few are born with that passion.
This is not said as idolatry, or to say you can do no wrong and place you as "the savior of rock and roll". You are not. Nor is Bono. You both are regular guys who were graced with an extraordinary gift.
Kari pointed out the trials and tribulations of U2 through the years, the drugs, the drinking, depression, the fights. (Did you know Edge actually cold-cocked Bono on stage one night for being a mouthy bastard? They stopped the show for a bit, and then came back on and finished the set. And Bono jumped over the drum kit at one show to attack Larry because he dropped a stick and quit playing. These were earlier shows, but still...)
Most of the 90's were a huge "Fuck it, we can't take it anymore" from the band. They put out 3 albums that were so far from their usual offerings, that most people didn't know what to make of them. They had to distance themselves from the "Oh-great-Bono-and-band-you-can-do-no-wrong-please-grace-us-with-your-words" before they lost their damn minds. They did lose some fans, gained some new ones, but ultimately, in 2000, they returned to who they really were, and realized you can't run away from your true self, no matter how hard you try. Even the title said it all..."All That You Can't Leave Behind".
These guys made some questionable decisions, some downright stupid, and I'm sure they still do. They are human. So are you.
When we saw you in Charlotte, N.C., with a heat index of 115 degrees, you came out on stage in that leather jacket, sweating buckets before the first song. You asked at one point "How do you motherfuckers live here?" Someone close to us in the audience said "We don't wear leather in August, you dumbass." I have to admit, as we were leaving the show, I told J., "You know, I really want that fucker, but I'm afraid now he may be too stupid for me." ( Bless your heart, you know I say that with love, darlin'.)
Of course,I was unaware of the other "influences" besides the heat killing off brain cells, and no, I don't think you are stupid at all. You are far more intelligent than I think you give yourself credit for. But it's hard to feel that way when you can't see beyond what's in the mirror.
Depression, anxiety, mental illness: it's a hard road to travel. You always feel like you are on the verge of losing control, and scared of what you become. You don't even recognize yourself some days, and you hate that person. It truly is moment to moment, one step at a time. You turn on those that love you the most, and wish they would go away while at the same time wishing they would come save you.
Sorry for the novel, I get a little carried away some days. But know you are not alone. There are several people on this blog who care deeply for the person inside you.
Even if you don't think you deserve it, or want it, you are loved, dammit, and don't you forget it!
L.
Even if you think you don't deserve it you are loved dammit...
... the hardest thing you ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.
I don't think any of us would be here if we didn't care for him. Interest in his well being is what brought us here but friendships made is what keeps us here.
All we can do as distance observers is to offer verbal support and we continue to do that daily. All I can do is hope and pray these words get through to those who needs them.
Sorry, forgot my manners.
Good evening all.
Good evening Mayo.
yeah, good evening all. Good evening m.
I think the meaning of this post is a little more clear than Mayo's other posts.
In complete agreement Miss T. In all honesty, I think the guys in the band would be very flattered at the persistence and determination held within the borders of our monitors. I think they'd be happy to know that they have such dedicated fans "watching their backs," and voicing our opinions, be they good or bad. I think that says a lot about all of us. *shrugs*
Miss T:
Have a cold, given up on work and retreated under my duvet! Think i'll stay here till summer arrives; bit like the Blue Peter tortoise, hibernation is the way to go!
I agree mustard, I think they would be flattered to know that we care enough to open our hearts and share our feelings.
Hibernation sounds good, especially since the nights are drawing in and winter is coming.
I'm doing well so far tho, I seem to be the only one on these pages who doesn't have a cold or flu.
I'm anaemic at the moment and feeling rather tired but nothing else. Probably get it all next week when it's the school hols :)
I'm being over-dramatic, of course! I will get up for Halloween, bonfire night and Xmas but will stay in my PJ's. Compromise and hibernation....it's exhausting!
God, how much do I like staying in my PJ's. Hibernation rules!!!!
PJ's, cheese and tomato toasties and shaun the sheep on TV. That's hibernation to me.
Mayo, Good afternoon to you and Good afternoon to everyone else, I hope you are all having a wonderful day.
To L. From Original Punks,
That was a beautiful post and a good reminder to all of us why we are here.
Mayo, I hope you can feel the love in here and all around you and please don't be afraid to accept it.
Yes Mayo, please accept it because we give it willingly.
I feel a cheesy song moment coming...
... SHALL RESIST, SHALL RESIST.
No GS, don't hold back, let it flow freely.
You always feel like you are on the verge of losing control, and scared of what you become. You don't even recognize yourself some days, and you hate that person. It truly is moment to moment, one step at a time. You turn on those that love you the most, and wish they would go away while at the same time wishing they would come save you.
L: That...was beautiful.
Can I venture a guess that most of us feel this way or have felt this way? It's a fucking battle just to get out of bed every morning. That was how I feel wrapped up in a nice black, little package. I think that's why I'm still here, because whether Mayo is who he is or who he isn't, we're still conversing about Gerard and the band. I can relate to that. That's why I'm still here. Because I care.
Just re- read my last post.
That sounded really bitchy towards your comments.
Please be assured it was not meant that way.
Must engage brain.
I'll post the cheesy song moment.
Sir Elton John and his piano present:
"Can you feel
The love tonight?
It is where we are.
[blah,blah,blah]"
End of cheesy song moment.
You didn't take it badly then Miss T :)
Mustard - it's why we're all here.
I feel the same Mustard. The heartfelt message not the cheesy song one ha!
GS, engage that brain.
He’s Shaun the sheep – (He’s Shaun the sheep)
He’s Shaun the sheep – (He’s Shaun the sheep)
He even mucks about with those who cannot bleat – (Cannot bleat)
Keep it in mind
He’s one of a kind
Oh.....
Life’s a treat with Shaun the Sheep
He’s Shaun the sheep- (He’s Shaun the sheep)
He’s Shaun the sheep- (He’s Shaun the sheep)
He doesn’t miss a trick or ever lose a beat – (Lose a beat)
Perhaps one day
You’ll find a way
To......
Come and meet with Shaun the sheep
Oh......
Come and bleat with Shaun the Sheep
Miss T:
You've given a whole new meaning to Mayo's postscript.
p.s. some are not obligated to wear the wool and others do it for good measure.
Don't worry GS, I know it wasn't intended badly.
I hope everyone sang along to shaun the sheep there or was it just me ha! It usually is.
God, I HATE the Lion King.
Everyone I know adores it.
Mustard, I thought that too yesterday but I kept quite cos everyone else was doing serious interpretations. Do you think Mayo could be a closet shaun the sheep fan. i came out of that closet agaes ago, I shout it loud and proud ha!
I absolutely loathe the Lion King. I prefer Aladdin.
Hello and good morning to all of you :)
Okay, weird Shway mental images going on.
I hate Lion King but I love Little mermaid.
But nothing compares to my love for shaun the sheep.
Hi BC
It's got to be Hercules for me.
I've got a serious greek history problem.
Note my user name.
I have not see the little mermaid for a very long time, but I prefer violent, gory movies ^_^
Hello GS
Boo, the Greeks nicked everything from the Egyptians. Of course having a degree in Egyptology doesn't make me biased. Not one one bit. No not at all. No never. Of course not. Maybe I protest too much eh?
Hi BC! nice to have you back. I agree I'm mostly watching horror, it's the only way to go, apart from shaun the sheep of course.
As for Disney movies, I prefer The Lion King over Aladdin. I haven't watched a Disney movie in forever though.
I regretfully admit that I have no idea what Shaun the Sheep is. It just reminded me of Mayo's wolf in sheep's clothing posts.
BC, I love horror movies as well. My favorite series EVER, OF "ALL FUCKING TIME" (shameless quote plug-is guilty) is Halloween. Just thought I'd share :)
Miss T :D
With regards to our beloved Shaun, do you wnt to tell them Miss T or shall I?
Mustard, the original halloween is my favourite horror film too, it's a classic.
Shaun the sheep was a character from a wallace and gromit film, he now has his own show on kids TV but adult keep writing in to the TV review pages on ceefax and saying that it's too good for kids and I agree.
I meant WANT.
Brain , where are you ?
Hello Miss T and Mustard. Mustard, I'm surprised you are here this early in the day ;)
Horror movies, I cannot say what is my favorite. That is a hard one to decide, but I also enjoy Sci-Fi and horror action as well. Some of my favorites have to include the first two Aliens movies, possibly The Thing, etc etc I also enjoy Underworld and some of Tim burton's films
You can't beat American warewolf in London for classic comedy horror.
I know BC. I'm normally on at a later time, but I'm free for the moment. Better make use of it, right?
By the by, Tim Burton is a creative genius.
Hi BC! yeah a bit early. I thought I'd look in and people were here so I stayed.
It's been kinda dead around here. I observed the shenanigans being held in the Rumors section of INO. They are definitely observing the happenings with Mayo's posts. I have a feeling some of those INO users could be some of our Anons. They carry that same tone to their writing.
Tim Burton is a genius, no?
I also thought Van Helsing was a pretty good movie and so was the last X-Men movie. Too many favorite movies to name, unfortunately.
Mustard, you are right. Better to make the best of this free time ;)
I must say that 30 days of night movie looks pretty good...
I wonder if they would have noticed anything though without the observations of others.
Love is blind.
30 days of night?
Please tell me thats a vampire film.
Yes it is. I have just seen the review on the news
The mood here has shifted. It feels darker and more morose. I understand why some of you have become weary, frustrated, confused and disillusioned but I would urge each of you to cling to every last piece of faith you have in this band and never let it go. This is not the end. Remember, it's always darkest before the dawn.
Mistakes have been made, lessons have been learned, hope has been restored. Each victory is worth celebrating, no matter how small.
I remain, as ever, in awe of the generosity of spirit, compassion, loyalty and support for MCR that is expressed within these blogs. I hope that never changes.
I'm sure we have all walked away from difficult or impossible situations at some point in our lives, but there are some things you just know in your heart you should never walk away from.
'Be there for your friends when they least deserve it - because that is when they need you the most.' The wisest man I know told me this when I was a teenager and I still live by those words.
-Boo!
S&V20 is in da house. Muwahaha.
Mayo, my man, you don't suck as much today as you did last week. I don't know why but it is starting to scare me a little. I might even let you wear my tiara.....okay, that was a bit much. Maybe I'll let you check your reflection in my mirror. You can't hold it though. We haven't got to that point yet.
There, that's better. :)
BTW, fake SS, why pretend to be someone else? It's much more fun to have people know exactly who you are and the statements you make. I personally, do not like to give other people credit for something I have done. No, no, no. All the credicks go to the Princess.
Be assured anonymous that although our moods change with the wind we are here to the end.
You always arrive at just the right times, did you know that.
Uncanny.
Well, hello there! Lovely to hear from you, Thankyou!
"Be there for your friends" . Yeah, we are still here and will continue to be.
Much Love!
Hi s&v20
That was fake ss ?
How do you tell the difference?
Oh well, I thought it was a nice statement anyway.

It's always darkest before the dawn - Are things on the horizon looking brighter, how so?

I was going to say you always come at the right time and thought better of it :D
Hi Mayo, Hi Everyone, Welcome Back S&V20! Hi all lurkers and anons!
What's going on?
So anon, are you who you seem? So many imposters, a sucker like me gets real bewildered!
Did you guys enjoy my literary effort yesterday?
Of course I did.
Did you take it at face value?
Anonymous, you have avoided my question.
Very much so, think I know where you were coming from!
Have we two anons or are you one and the same?
If it was supposed to be taken at face value, then you are talking to the wrong person. I take nothing at face value. I spend a better part of my life looking for the deeper and hidden meaning in everything.
Not always a good trait to have.
Anon, I enjoyed it!=]
Hey everyone! I'm home for my spare, eating Special K and drinking V8 Splash=]
How's everyone?
Hey Paperheartxx!
Hey sdock10!
What's up?
=]
Dei Gratia, I am one and the same person.
Sometimes its easy to get hung up on semantics.
Sometimes clues are hidden in plain view.
Sometimes words within stories tell their own story.
Sometimes you just need to look a little closer to make the connection and solve the puzzle.
Sometimes it is important to remember that not all hidden messages are apocalyptic - sometimes they are just for fun!
The hidden message in the story is literal, any metaphorical message was purely coincidental! I hope you have as much fun solving the mystery as I had putting it together for you.
P.S. I know you will all be with me in spirit.
Paperheartxx, hello.
Currently waiting for my tea to cook, had a nice post from anonymous and discussed horror films and Disney.
Sdock10, I take everything at face value and thats not a good trait either.
Just hanging and talking to everyone.
Hello Gnothi Seauton!
That sounds good! I'm going back to school in 5 minutes, then class is shortened so I'll be home in about an hour and a half.
Sounds fun Sdock10!
anon,
I look forward to digging even deeper and solving the mystery. It was still a great story...even if you take it just for that.
P.S. Always
Thankyou,sweetie!
Will go have another look, have taken a lot of flu-plus though! Might help I guess!
&& anon, there is something about that story that I understand in my head, but when I try putting it into words, all that comes out is word vomit. I can't explain what the story makes me think.
Just thought I should let you know that=]
See you later on paperheart.
I am off to school. Walking around outside with a GPS, calculating distances and freezing my ass in this frigid cold weather sure sounds like loads of fun to me right about now! *sarcasm*
I'll talk to you all later this evening=]
Goodbye Gnothi Seauton, Sdock10, dei gratia, and anon!
=]
Bye Miss Tottenham!
