If you consider my intention was to assemble you here, and then rip you apart, merely to revel in your dichotomy...well then, you have not heard me at all. I will not strike the match, but you hold the bucket. Is it full of water, or shit?
p.s. allow your wisdom, wit, worry, and wonder to punch, provoke, purchase, and profess.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 2347 Newer› Newest»Hey fimble,that is an interesting thing to think about.
I've been laughing for awhile now so I'm good.But my computer is being a bitch again so i have to restart it soon.
Maybe he does it while she is on stage or sleeping.
Did MCR play a show tonight?
YEE HAW!!
I've never rode a stallion before. This will be my first time. Do you suppose they have some gentle stallions here?
I'm guessing he does it when she is in a drunken stupor. As that is most of the time, he has plenty of free time to be here.
Was that too bitchy?
Ph she already knew what people thought of her before she married him. A lot of people were saying this stuff while they were dating and look at the reaction the last ex got. She had to have some idea as to what she was getting into.
p said...
I try not to think about this blog being "you know who's" and I am not convinced it is. I would like to think that you know who has far more things to do than read some of the shameless things i sometimes contribute.
November 7, 2007 2:05 AM
Ugh it's hard not to think about it p. But I try. I try oh so very hard not to think too much about this blog.
I'm doing okay entropy. How about you?
hello entropy. i didnt know you was in here. not that i didnt see you just didnt know. much love you know.
how are you doing?
Sdock,
There are some gentle stallions. They are very calm. You need to feed them lots of vegetables and pet them softly first. though.
They played in Belgim.
I didn't think it was bitchy at all MissT.
Ugh it's hard not to think about it p. But I try. I try oh so very hard not to think too much about this blog.
November 7, 2007 2:08 AM
Me too. I am completely addicted.
Miss T, I was thinking the same thing.
miss t that wasnt to bitchy lol
over and out
Hard to say, sdock.
Ha! Pun intended.
Maybe you could convince one of them to be nice. Just offer him some sugar. Or some coffee and a cigarette.
J.
Hey guys,I'm doing great,thanks.
Hey J, how are ya?
Thanks Entropy, star, FS.
I've always had a picture in my head of Gerard sat typing away with lynz on the floor nearby unconscious with a bottle in her hand and her lippy smeared all over her face.
I think Mrs. Way has pretty thick skin, unlike Eliza. Eliza seemed so immature, niave and fragile, hence her subsequent disappearence from the e-scene.
Good thinking J.
lol miss t. ou always make me laugh. to to funny
over and out
Baroness Star!
I am wonderful. Just entertaining some vivid fantasies of wild stallions with long, brown manes flowing in the wind...
And yourself?
J.
As much as hate to do this and I had a wonderful time tonight, but I need to sign off. I know once I leave I'll miss a whole shit load.
Take care all!!!!
Bye P! See you soon.
J.
Yes, Kapunua, I was thinking the same thing.
"A little Chianti and farva beans."
Goodnight P
Bye P!
nite P
It's quiet.
Too quiet.
Rustlers on the Ranch?
J.
I've always had a picture in my head of Gerard sat typing away with lynz on the floor nearby unconscious with a bottle in her hand and her lippy smeared all over her face.
Another thing we have in common.
What should the next topic be.
CTV, we were made for eah other.
(crickets)
Holy shit, what the hell cleared the room like that?
*sniffs under arm* I don't think it's me.
Mayo,
How are you feeling now? Have you cooled off just a little bit? You seemed pretty upset earlier, but you have to realize that we're used to that kind of shit in here and in our own blogs. We do a pretty good job of sticking up for you and each other. We are terribly loyal...you know, like the mafia. People will question, people will doubt, people will believe, people will hope, people will stir up shit....that's life. But don't misunderstand me...this is YOUR blog. We understand completely that you are in control and could pull the plug at any minute, but I'm asking you to please not do that. I know that you feel how special this place is for ALL of us. We've connected and we've bonded...That's pretty FUCKING AMAZING! And it's all because YOU started it. Thank you so much. When I'm here, I'm free and I've never felt more alive in my life.
We did get a little bit carried away in here tonight. Sorry, we took it to some pretty raunchy levels, but we had a lot of nervous energy to burn off and nothing does it better than a good belly laugh.
I see you smiling.....
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Just Love...
Hello there ctv.
Why do I feel shunned?
Helloooooooooooo! Anyone else out there besides me, MJ, and CTV?
J.
I know, right? You need to visit to Canada ASAP. Charming place. A little cold, but eh.
Hello MJ. How are you?
I'll try walking CTV but it may take a while.
Hi J. It turned into a ghost town all of a sudden.
Nice wording SDock. Right on the money as always.
*need to visit
Eh. No idea why I wrote that.
Hello J.
AHH
I got abducted by a unicorn!
Actually no, my sister just kicked me off for a few minutes!=]
I'm in fine, we now need a new topic. Or for our friends to show up.
Yeah let's play a new game...
What should it be?
Our favorite things about Mayo?
Yes! New game. A fun one!=]
Mayo as in we believe him to GW.
My internet is wonky. Cable is coming between 8 am and 8 pm on my day off!
Anyway, I'm back!
Okay one last pussy cat tale.
My pussy cat loves to play morning noon and night; her cocker spaniel friend can hardly keep up. She is more a cougar than a kitten and he is more a puppy than an adult male dog. ;)
Okay night all.
I've always had a picture in my head of Gerard sat typing away with lynz on the floor nearby unconscious with a bottle in her hand and her lippy smeared all over her face.
LMAO!!! hahahahahaah nice

HAHA good one! I love Mayo with fries and ketchup!
And Mayo on my chicken sandwiches!=]
About this Mayo, I love how he tries so hard to show he cares, and that he is moody like us.
I don't care for mayo its okay I prefer miracle whip. I my dips and spreads have some added flavor.
i like how he tries to act cool by saying check the time and goodnight lol
makes me laugh everytime and i dont know why
has anyone ever tried chips and cheese and gravy mmmmmmmm. that is nice. you should try it but its got to be
arghhhhhh bisto gravy
I love how talking to him makes me feel like I'm talking to that part of myself that I never used to talk to.
....and just when you think he's not listening, he does some little tiny thing to show you he is.
Well,I like it when Mayo is straightforward,like this post.
Actual mayonnaise I hate.
Haha I like that too FS.
Even though we can spot Mayo's comments from a mile away.. he still does it!=]
Gosh Mayo. I love you buddy. =]

November 7, 2007 2:43 AM
Awwh, Mayo completes Sdock! =]
lol.
I like that to, how he shows that he is listening. How he actually does care. How he isn't like how all the anons are trying to make him out to be. *sighs*
*peeks in*
is it safe? or are you all still triple-x rated?
Let me see about our blogger buddy mayo what do I like about this person. That he allows us to be here. He could have just set this blog to no comments allow but s/he didn't. Mayo must be fond of our company now.
I must admit that I have had my doubts about his intentions from time to time. I'm not even sure who this person really is. But who ever Mayo is they are a kind person.
Sorry I was MIA for a bit.
Oh, I love Mayo but like I said way back in the beginning, only the real shit. None of that fake shit and no Light Mayo. Just REAL Mayo.
I like to put Mayo on......
BLT's
Turkey Sandwiches
bunches on my burger
egg & cheese biscuits
Oh, I think I like to put Mayo on EVERYTHING! Yummo! You is tastee Mayo-naze!
and just when you think he's not listening, he does some little tiny thing to show you he is.
That is very true and I can't deny that is one of my favorites.
do you know that i do love mayo but i kinda like more stuff of ss.
how he is always so sweet and he talks and engages in conversation with us. i like that the most
Wonder what his favorite thing about us is?
Mayo,
Don't think for a second that just because you might never meet me that you don't know me. YOU know me...probably better than others.
Phew, I'm glad you guys are still here, I was worried.
Hello to Jen, PH, MJ, CTV, SDock (well, I said hello to you before), and Miss T. Saw your pics before, aren't you a cutie!
L from the couch says this:
"If we're talking about our favorite things about Mayo, I have two.
One: his voice. Not just the sound of it, but also the feeling behind it.
Two: his eyes. From the first time I saw a picture of his eyes, I could see into his soul. And it was such a beautiful soul.
The saddest thing to me about the current situation is that I can't see anything in his eyes anymore. It doesn't mean that beautiful soul is gone, but it's so hidden, and it makes me so angry and sad.
I won't give up until I can see it in his eyes again."
J.
I think it's okay now Toujours.
can i ask
is mustard here
i havent seen her all day. just a bit worried. has anyone herd off her. is she ok
mib r u in the fridge again?
I forgot to say hi.
Hi Toujours,how's it going?
hello J i am here to.
*small wave from the back*
I do wish mayo would join in the way SS does. I think it would be fun and I would have a lot more things to like about this person if I knew them better.

QUESTION FOR MAYO!
What is your favorite thing about each of us?
Seriously, it'd be awesome if you answered this.=]
Hi
ok I have skimmed over and seen conversations about cats and then we moved to some kind of horse ranch.
anyone care to fill me in if I missed anything important?
only kidding.
What i like about Mayo?
I just like that he exists and created such a lovely, cosy home.
Mayonnaise - love it with chicken especially in sandwiches, and with boiled egg, and potato salad.
It's even nicer if you make it yourself and add just a hint of dijon mustard.
It's so nice and versitile, add some flavours and it's a new and exciting taste sensation.
ps never tasted Miracle Whip. What is it by comparison?
Hi again OP. You say the sweetest things *blushes*.
one of my favorite things about mayo -- just a little thing, but anyway -- was that entry when he had a headache.
weird, i know, but every time i refreshed the page, i'd read that sentence:
Tell me about a memorable dinner you have had?
and it just has a such a sweet, genuine tone to it. (i think because of the question mark.) but it just sounded so honest and so real.
i smiled every time.
silly maybe, but there you go.
My favourite things about people here are the compassion and the sense of humor.
Hey Ergo!
You know,I've never tasted miracle whip either,do tell Martha.
hello, entropy! thanks for giving me the all-clear. ^.^
Hello Tj.
Mayo as GW. The innocent look he used to have. That smile that he had that was kind of unsure about things. The way that even thought he was a rock star he seemed like a normal person. Someone you could just start a conversation up with. It would be nice if we could get that back.
Oh, wait. We're actually talking about Mayo? Oops, so sorry Mayo-naze.
Hmmm, let me see.
If this person is who we think....
How quirky he is.
His loud laugh...it is hilarious.
His nervous ticks.
How completely diva-ish he can be...takes one to know one, right?
Yes, those eyes. Who could deny that?
How shy he can be at times, almost like he forgets who he is.
I'm with PH, Mayo it's your turn!
Hmm.. Mayo as Gerard Way?
How he used to be shy and sincere.
He would never let his shyness get to him and he interacted with fans better.
The way his eyes would show his emotions.
How he didn't flaunt his private life around.
He wasn't like other rock stars.
He stood up for what he believed in.
He was cute and chubby.
Seriously, the list could go on. But they all are past-tense for me. There isn't much to like now-a-days.
I can't really put it into words. I guess I would have to say its kind of sweet with a little tanginess to it. I haven't made anything that need mayo in a while so I haven't used Miracle whip in a while.
hello martha. ^.^
i don't think that's really gone, you know. the innocence maybe -- because an innocent 30 yr. old is a scary thought, imo -- but the real guy vibe? i don't think it's gone forever.
Well, I better be off for the night.
Mayo, I hope you enjoyed reading what we like about you, now it's your turn. It is only fair.=]
I hope you all enjoy yourselves!
Love to you all!
*hug*
Love;
-007
What I like about the people here. It is so easy to talk to each other. There isn't much that I feel I can't say to you guys and how you make me laugh.

I agree word for word.
What do I like about Mayo?
I like that his posts make me think outside the box.
I like that he checks in anonymously.
I like that he watches and does not check in.
I like the fact that sometimes our conversations hit a nerve with him and he joins in with a post.
I like that he's provided a place for all of us to laugh, cry, enable, argue, scare, rant, care, and get dirty.
I like that we don't really know who this person is, but that it's a mystery.
I also like mayo on my sandwiches.
Goodnight PH.
Thanks martha.
Goodnight paperheart.
*big hugs*
What I love about my mafia blogger family...
EVERYFUCKINGTHING
Before I go, what do I like about everyone here?
Everyone is kind to eachother.
We care about other peoples feelings.
We don't try to intentionally hurt eachother.
We stick up for one another.
We can laugh or cry together.
We give good hugs, even though they're over the internet.
We welcome new people with open arms.
Again, I can go on and on about what I love about everyone here! =]
ditto to all the Mayo as Gerard reasons.
Goodnight Paperheart!
Talk to you tomorrow.
Sweet Dreams everyone!
*hug*
Hey FS, Toujours, S and V, and everyone else I missed!
What do I like about Mayo? Hmm, Mayo the blogger makes my brain go into overdrive with his vocabulary, his way of looking at things. I like hearing him talk. And I like that he defends us. Thank you, Mayo my man.
Mayo as the man? I LOVE his persnickety sense of humor and the way he says those sarcastic comments. Like, "Nothing stimulates us like urine," from the French TV interview in April. I also like his complete lack of memory for things he himself has said. Like telling a reporter they had several new songs written, and then 2 weeks later telling another reporter, "I don't know where you heard that, we don't have any new songs." Prozac Memory Loss, I call it, cause I have that myself. :)
J.
Once your in the family......
well, you know the rest.
Goodnight PH,
aw paperheartxx. i like what you said!
*hugs* you hugger!
see you later. ^.^
you're not your
damn, I don't know how many times I have caught myself doing that
I know he wasn't innocent but there was something that was untouched about him. I guess it was that he didn't seem jaded. Now he is just like all the other famous people out there. Full of himself and he doesn't seem to give a damn anymore.
j., i have to agree with you on the sense of humor thing. definitely.
Mayo as you know who,
I love the way he holds an audience in the palm of his hand and you are powerless. Captivated and held hostage but loving every minute of it...
A nice way to finish paperheart. Hugs to you.
OP said:
Prozac Memory Loss, I call it, cause I have that myself. :)
My friend calls it her fuzzy head.
L says something else she misses about G is the "extra padding". We were watching clips from the European tour earlier this summer, and she'd keep saying, "He's almost there, almost the perfect weight. And the hair, almost long enough." And then look what happened.
J.
ok and ditto to the reasons for liking people here
plus
we can joke around
we all have a sense of humour
but we can care
and we are not afraid to be honest
we accept differing opinions
we can be ridiculous and random
we are intelligent and mature when required
and we can change from one to the other in the blink of an eye
Full of himself and he doesn't seem to give a damn anymore.
i suppose i'm too idealistic, but i just don't see him that way, at least not to that extreme. i keep thinking about what this year has been like, and thinking about how i would feel if i were in his position.
not to say that i like the way he is these days -- but i just don't feel like he's gone all the way over to the dark side.
OP, isn't it strange how none of us likes him skinny.
Maybe it's because with more meat on his bones, you feel like you're getting more for your money ha!
Awwwh looks like we are having LOVEFEST2007
We can't leave out SS. He shows up at just the right time. He gives us fun games to play just for the hell of it and his/hers kind parting words.
SS as Frank he is a fan just like the rest of us and hasn't forgotten what it is like to be a fan. He is so playful with everyone especial Gerard.
Kapunua
When did mayo speak of these things. I don't remember, please remind me.
Well, sometimes I just like to pretend, so that I can say the things I really want to say; really just to make me feel better.
But with that in mind, I was also addressing Mayo just as we know him. If those things are so hateful, then the answer to that is to be more open. It goes for both.

This is such a sad post. I agree with it word for word, though. I know a lot of people are like, "Oh, he can get it back, that man is not gone," and I thought so fo a while, too. Up until the MSI tour. That killed it for me. He may as well have walked into a room of teenagers and sang "Five Year Old Panty Shot" and mimed shooting heroin himself. It comes down to the same thing.
What did I admire about G-Way? His honesty, his advocacy, his passion, his sincerity. Everything that he crushed under his heel with this tour.
Paperheart,
I think we missed you, but goodnight anyway. You said some lovely things about all of us. We love you too, you little punkin!
J and L
What I love about SS,
He always does his best to be thoughtful, respectful, hopeful, to us an reminds us to do the same.
Dammit, you're going to make me do it again aren't you? All our lovin' around. We are good people, and I thank you for welcoming me in.
*GROUP HUG*
Tj I think I see because I always saw GW as this sweet person. Who was so down to earth and kind. I still see it sometimes just not as much as I use to. He just seem like he has become that rock star person now to me.
Grab my arms jen and hug as tight as you can.
what do i like about the people here?
THERE NOT LIKE THE PEOPLE ON BN OR INO
i think tht sums it up to a T
You guys made me really frigging sad with that "what do/did you like about Gerard Way." God!
You guys are fantastic, though. I think about this blog while I'm at work sometimes, you know? Well, clearly, as I crept on the computer at work to post today. O_O
Roger that FS.
He may as well have walked into a room of teenagers and sang "Five Year Old Panty Shot" and mimed shooting heroin himself.
but he didn't.
you and i have pretty different opinions on this, kapunua, and i respect you for your honesty and integrity. we'll agree to disagree, friendly-like, i hope!
but we don't know the whole story behind-the-scenes, we can't know what's really going on, we can only guess. i'm not going to write him or the band off because of this tour.
people in ordinary life get to majorly fuck up, why not this band? why not this guy?
that's my stance. different from your's, but just as staunch.
I agree that there is so much I used to admire which just seems to have changed.
Replaced by an arrogance and disregard for what appeared to be very dear to him.
Perhaps he thinks this is the way you have to be to grow up?
Or perhaps the performer has once again become the performance.
There are so many things he could have done, which though shocking would not have caused me to feel so disappointed.
And that perhaps is the worst way to feel.
Mayo,
My little night time sleepy pills are beginning to kick in, so I apologize if I miss you.
Look at this place. We've taken buckets of shit and water and a few scattered seeds and planted the most beautiful garden you have ever seen. You can already see the baby sprouts starting to appear.
Now we're just hanging out around our campfire. Sharing our stories, laughing, and sometimes crying out.
Sorry we had to use the match.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Did you bring in marshmallows?
Tj I think I see because I always saw GW as this sweet person. Who was so down to earth and kind. I still see it sometimes just not as much as I use to. He just seem like he has become that rock star person now to me.
i hear you, martha. and i can see what you mean.
i'm just ridiculously hopeful.
*rueful grin*
Group hug to everyone to all the regulars, to Mayo an SS to the lurkers to the anons good and bad. Yes the bad ones even get a hug maybe they won't be so bad anymore. If not this naughty mafia nurse has a syringe full of something good for them.
sdock10
just wanted to tell you i like wat you said about the shit and water and planting and seed.
classic
goodnight
Am I too late for the group hug? I hope not! I really, really need a hug today!
SS,
What don't I like.
But here goes, SS as you know who:
His passion for his music. Unreal.
His compassion.
How he treats his fans.
How honest and sincere he is.
His sweet spirit.
His punk rock roots.
The way he plays, with his whole heart.
How completely grounded he is.
His loyalty to everything and everyone he believes in.
His giggle. It is infectious. I can't look at him without hearing it.
Of course, he is gorgeous. Inside and out.
Oh yes, and the tattoos. Love'em.
Because you know there is a special reason for each and every one.
myalyas, here's a hug for you.
*HUG*

sdock that is just beautiful
truly perfect and beautiful
Ergoproxy, thank you for what you have said. Honestly, sometimes, I see you as one of my guardian angels. Thank you :)
Myalyas have a great big bear hug for you.
Hot Damn!
My little sister sure is purdy!
Nite, Nite
Youngblood
Wow! Would you look at what a babe that Smoke is!
Thanks for the hug!
Oh, well shit. Didn't know my face was gonna be plastered there.
Well hi, everyone! Here I am. And there I go.
Excuse me, I shall return.
What I like about SS the blogger:
His mind. The crafty way it works, the vocabulary, the leaps of logic he makes within a post. And he's got this affinity for Latin. This is a smart man.
His heart. He loves (almost)everybody and is concerned for our welfare and state of mind. He always keeps us up-to-date, and reassures us when we feel badly.
His sense of humor. Sassy little bastard. You make me laugh, darlin'.
His sense of timing. Just when you need him the most, BAM! There he is.
SS as the man? Mmm, where to start. Sexy, intelligent, loyal, funny, talented, energetic, beautiful, colorful (literally), silly, etc etc etc.
I should stop now, I'm having some shortness-of-breath issues. :)
J.
I can't wait for the flowers to come up in our little garden. I'm sure They will be beautiful.
but we don't know the whole story behind-the-scenes, we can't know what's really going on, we can only guess. i'm not going to write him or the band off because of this tour.
That's exactly why they need to say something. It would solve so much. This band, and Gerard in particular, has been so outspoken or so many years, and so vocal specifically against the things that MSI embraces. Why the silence now?
people in ordinary life get to majorly fuck up, why not this band? why not this guy?
Of course he's allowed to. I do it all the time. But when I do it--when you do it, when my friends do it--we get called on it. And eventually we have to stand up and say something.
Why not this guy?
S&V20, who's a little goddess eh?
sdock, i was thinking about what you just wrote (it was truly beautiful) and it occurred to me that you're right, this place is a garden -- and it's winter.
we have a garden in winter here.
now that's magic.
What is your favorite thing about each of us?
Seriously, it'd be awesome if you answered this.=]
I hope it's my hat!
aw thanks BC
the wings get a bit dusty sometimes
but they still work
Ergo, FS & My fellow Mayo Mafia,
Love you all!
Thanks for putting up with me and my ever changing moods.
Love,
s
SDock, you are brilliant. Shit, water, seeds. Damn you're good.
I hope your headache goes away and you have beautiful dreams.
Remember:
Will to Live
I think of all things that show a zest
For life, the dandelion beats the rest.
The little winged seeds from its white fluff ball
Settle and grow with no urging at all.
Settle in most unlikely places
And soon there's a crop of dandelion faces.
They are man's worst pest, but a child's playthings.
Sometimes I wish I had light down wings
Like a dandelion seed, and could settle at will
On a velvety lawn or a sun-spread hill,
And live with the eagerness and zest
Of the wanton little dandelion pest.
-MARY TRIPLETT
Wow I was wondering if that was you S&V20 You are pretty. Well I hope you and your sister have a good night and sweet dreams.
OP said:
I should stop now, I'm having some shortness-of-breath issues. :)
Do you need an inhaler or something.Maybe a paper bag to breathe into.
What the hell? The TBS page is empty. No news, no blogs, nada. WTF?
Your welcome Ergo. And I sincerely meant what I said. You and the rest of these lovely people are the best. Smoke, you are sure pretty :)
We love you too sd10!
Wait, did I miss a pic of S&V20? Where?
What I like about SS...
Apart from being so darn cute, it is the person inside that appeals to me. In this last couple of years, I've seen, or realized, that he is so articulate and poised in interviews. He is always jumping in and clarifying what is trying (or needs) to be said.
misst
wasn't it TJ who kept needing paper bags to breathe into , though she wanted them with donuts first?
If not it was someone.
maybe she needs a donut too
Princess Smoke,
L asks if it's ok if she steals your list about SS, cause that's how she feels, too.
BTW, you are quite the looker. But of course, you're the Princess. We should expect no less. :)
J.
Thanks guys!
That was totally unexpected and creepy. I never thought I'd have to look at myself when I made comment. Kind of unsettling.
Will fix that tomorrow.
Night everyone! Got another 3 hour trip to make tomorrow.
Ergo, we all need doughnuts at some point in our lives.
Maybe for her, this time has arrived.
We can only wish her well.
Miss T,
I need something, but I don't think it's an inhaler. Say no more! Nudge nudge wink wink.

That's exactly why they need to say something. It would solve so much...Why the silence now?
i do agree with you on this. the way the information has been handled is incredibly crappy. the site is useless, and a lot of bad press has occurred because their pr team isn't doing their job properly.
i don't know what the band thinks of this. i would hope they're as irritated by it as we are.
But when I do it--when you do it, when my friends do it--we get called on it.
i think there's a difference between getting "called on" bad behavior and being wholly written off, however. i also think that a lot of what is going on -- this is just my opinion, and maybe my hope -- is a combination of someone hitting 30 yrs old very hard and the crazy year since the release of tbp -- well, before that, if you count in all the shit that went on while they were writing and recording it.
what fuels my hopes and my approach is this habit i picked up of trying to read people's stories -- on the bus, while grocery shopping, etc. -- as a sort of on the fly training in character development.
so when i think about gerard, i'm also trying to get a feel or his "story", i guess. and that tends to make me a bit more sympathetic. maybe i shouldn't be. maybe my approach is too soft, too pansy-assed.
but it's the way i am, it's the way i see it.
*gah* this turned into an essay. sorry. :)
You know what bugs me the most about the whole MSI tour thing though? I mean, yeah, mostly it is about the hypocrisy--"Children listen to music, so musicians should be responsible with their lyrics. But here, have some Five Year Old Panty Shot!"--but aside from that? It's how goddamn stupid he must think his fans are. Did this band seriously not think that some people were going to see what a huge change this is? Did they totally just expect everyone to just eat it all up? And to be honest, most people are. I think they were just counting on the fangirling, the non-thinking, the fansheep. It really paid off.
If they would just come forward and acknowledge that this is the opposite of what they've always preached about, it would seem so much less arrogant and insulting. That will do. "Yes, we know you see it. Cope." Or even Gerard saying, "Yeah, I never really believed in the stuff I used to talk about, I'm sorry to all the bands whose lyrics I self-righteously insulted," or, hell, even "I totally used to believe in all that stuff I used to talk about, but I don't think that way anymore and now I all want you to listen to Jimmy Urine's lyrics. I know that makes it seems like I'm the biggest hypocrite, but if it's any consolation, the blowjobs are great."
A few words. That's all.
Oh, well S&V20, you're beautiful! *is insanely jealous*
i am in for the count. going to bed. godnight everybody and have lovely dreams.
night night
Goodnight SV&20.
So OP, it's not an inhaler you need to suck on.
Would a suck on a fun size help?
wasn't it TJ who kept needing paper bags to breathe into , though she wanted them with donuts first?
lol, you guys. that was meese! :)
Goodnight FS.
Roger and out.
Sweet dreams huns.
missT I agree, sometimes it just must be done.
onward into the vale of donuts...
I would like to say too, one of the reasons I like coming here is that I have people who know Monty Python references, like the same authors etc, etc.
when I am often surrounded by country music lovin folks who have never seen MP think the height of comedy is Adam Sandler (no offense to him, but height?) and often, when books are mentioned say "I don't read books" as though there is something wrong with you if you do.
i think there's a difference between getting "called on" bad behavior and being wholly written off, however.
yes, but if people are asking for a simple explanation and you just don't give one--perhaps because you think they're so stupid that they don't require one?--that's what happens. You get written off.
Please bear in mind I'm not even necessarily talking about Gerard's behavior. I'm not even necessarily talking about the puke-throwing, the crazy bitchfit where he threw Frank to the ground, the public jerking off and teenie-baiting. I'm not even talking abotu the tacky sharpie messages or retarded quickie "marriage." All of that I could say, "This guy's in trouble; he's going through a phase."
I'm just talking about the tour. The years of "OMGz bad lyrics are BAD!!!!1111" and then public support for a band like MSI.
Why, Miss T, you naughty little thing!
good night to all the sleepy heads. ^.^
'Night S&V and FS :)
And 'night to the rest of you too, as I'm turning in.
I know Myalyas, I deserve to be put over mayo's knee and spanked.
TJ that's right!!
I knew there was mousiness involved somewhere.
but you can feel free to have a paperbag holding donuts if you want.
Sometimes it's just the right thing to do.
Good night Fimble, S&V20 - you are gorgeous
Kapunua - I wish you had been here for the Anon calling us fangirls/fansheep. I would've loved to have seen you vunch them. Vunch, what a wonderful word. I think I'll use it in a sentence tomorrow at work.
MissT - you went there, didn't you?
Goodnight to everybody. Have a great night and wonderful tomorrow. (I'm not usually optimistic, but I'm working on that.)
Goodnight RW, sweet dreams.
I don't think anyone here has really written him off completely. We wouldn't be here if we did. Its just some of us believed so much in what he used to say that it hit us really hard when this whole MSI thing happened. I really believed in GW's words. That he meant them with his whole heart. I just feel so let down. I don't have any heroes they have all let me down so I stopped having them. GW was never my hero but I did believe in him and his message.
Goodnight Jen, sweet dreams.

I hear ya, girl!
Hard and repeatedly too, huh?

what's funny about that to me -- not funny hysterical laughter but funny quiet amused smile -- is that it is the behavior that brought me here, that worries me, that keeps me praying for him.
the tour, i don't quite know what to think about it. i'm not overjoyed that they're touring with msi, but i don't see it as the horrific thing that you do. truthfully, i haven't actually given it that much thought.
bad tours are survivable. certain bad choice are not. that's my focus. keep the man alive.
he can repent later.
Good night FS and Rw and to all the other heading off to dream land.
Ooooooo Myalyas, spank me hard cos I've been a very naughty girl.
Toujours, thank you for so eloquently and succinctly saying what I want to say. I totally agree!

It's not a "bad tour." It's MCR becoming an entirely different creature from what they were. If you think about why they always said they started making music, and when you take into consideration the many, many, many times that Gerard has spoken out vehemently against bands that are half of what MSI are in terms of lyrics and behavior, then this is more like a completely different band.
I'm not even singling out Gerard for this one. Someone, anyone, needs to say something. Well, Gerard has already said his piece. ("MSI is amaaaaayzing, amaaaaayzing!") and I guess that Mikey has said his, too. but the others? I'm still waiting.
certain bad choice are not. that's my focus. keep the man alive.
Only he can do that. And also, the man that he was? Long gone.
he can repent later.
"And through it all, how could you cry for me? Cause I don't feel bad about it."
I'm so sure.
er, now that i'm reconnected, let me clarify this:
what's funny about that to me -- not funny hysterical laughter but funny quiet amused smile -- is that it is the behavior that brought me here, that worries me, that keeps me praying for him.
it's not his behavior i find funny, it's our different approaches to the situation.
Okay, basically I liken it to someone like Joaquin Phoenix doing commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken because he was banging Colonel Sanders or something.
Oh Miss T, you know me so well. I think that would just about do it for me. :)
Toujours, I'm liking your points there. But Kapunua, you also have some good ones. Remember what I've said about head injured behavior, though, and the drug correllation.
Plus, we all know the band's penchant for keeping info hidden until after the fact. It's an odd practice, granted, but that's what they do with most major events in their lives. Not that we can't already see what's going on in most cases, but seems like they think that if they don't come out and say it, we might not notice and won't get upset. Case in point: Mikey's hiatus.
Night to all those who have toddled off to beddy-bye. L has joined you as well.
J.
kapunua aside from what you've said about the lyrics I think too that the band, and Gerard made such a point of wanting to be the "saved my life" type guys they became. Acting a bit like role models, preaching about respect etc.
They encouraged it.
All you have to do is watch LOTMS.
The backstage pass incidents they talk about, then he asks guys to take off their shirts, it's been heading this way for some time.
I just think back to him saying about no matter how fucked up you are there's a bunch of guys just as fucked up as you.
Well NO
You aren't anymore. We still have some self respect and common sense which you appear to be lacking. We still hold to our beliefs not appear to sell out on them.
I have not written off Gerard or the band but I wouldn't feel so disappointed if he hadn't promoted himself that way to begin with.
It's no one elses fault, he helped make the pedestal and if he didn't like it maybe he should have thought about that in the first place.
Okay, basically I liken it to someone like Joaquin Phoenix doing commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken because he was banging Colonel Sanders or something.
Miss T, you there?
This is how I feel about the Ms thing. As a band I think they are a piece of shit. I don't like them I don't like what they have to say. But we have freedom of speech here in this country so they can say what they like. What bothers me is that this whole tour is putting this shitty little band out into the main stream. Not only that but that in supporting Mcr I will now be supporting Msi. That is what has me really pissed about the whole tour. GW's behavior has me worried to. I know that I can't do any thing about his life choices but I'm sure as hell going to let him know that I don't like the way they are making him look or what it is doing to the appearance of the band.
K,I love your posts,I always seem to agree really hard.
That whole no explaining thing is really getting annyoying.
Some people have mentioned that the next interview might shine some light on Bob,but I honestly don't think it will. I think they won't even bring it up,keeping the secrecy. I hope they prove me wrong.
I read one interviewer saying he didn't like interviewing them because they handed him a list of things he couldn't ask and I think Bob will be on that list.
i suppose part of the reason i'm not as appalled by this tour as you, and others, are, is because i don't think msi is as detestable.
i don't think they are in any way in the same category as mcr, and there is undoubtably nepotism to blame for them being attached to the tour like they were.
but -- though i admit i haven't given it the depth of thought you have, kapunua -- i don't see their message as irreparably damaged, just temporarily occluded.
Just to add to my head-injured theory:
I figure the only reason G wanted MSI on tour with them was to ensure he got laid at least 12 times this month.
(G honey, I'm kidding. I say it with love.)
(As far as you know. ;))
J.
I'm here Myalyas but not for long so grab me while you can.
Entropy, well shit, that sucks! What the hell? No one can speak about Bob? I agree that "statements" should have been made about several things in this whole past year, but they decided not to.
Totally fucked up way of doing business.
Hey wasn't there something about the Mama video coming out in some country today.
where we can completely agree, i think is what ergoproxy just brought up -- what is with the umpteenth level of secrecy?
i was looking at the old website, back when they were just writing updates about nothing, about getting new toys, for goodness' sake.
that was cool. not knowing anything anymore, not cool.
what, are they the fucking pentagon?

What do you think the shades are for.

Right, but the rest of the band isn't as royally frigged up. If they couldn't stop this, then they could at least say something. "We support this tour because we have sold out as well" (OH HAI MIKEYWAY) or "We're just along for the ride; it's hard to stand up to your friends." Something. Instead of this "Well, the fans will never actually think this one through, so we're in the clear" attitude they're taking.
Plus, we all know the band's penchant for keeping info hidden until after the fact.
There's no "info" to keep hidden. There was what Gerard always said they stood for, and then there's Mindless Self Indulgence. And then there's them thinking we're idiots who wouldn't see the difference.
Ergoproxy:
It's no one elses fault, he helped make the pedestal and if he didn't like it maybe he should have thought about that in the first place.
Exactly. And I would understand if they just came forward with a, "Yeah, well, we couldn't live up to that anymore" or "we changed our minds." It's the silence that bugs me because they expect us to just sit here and accept it.
MJ:
But we have freedom of speech here in this country so they can say what they like.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER WILL I SAY THAT THER'ES NOT A PLACE IN MUSIC FOR A useless, classless, talentless POS ACT LIKE MINDLESS SELF INDULGENCE. There has always been a place for shock-bands like this. There will always be some moron who thinks that a singer lighting his pubes on fire and miming shooting heroin onstage for fourteen year olds is "amaaaayzing!" And, government willing, there will always be the freedom for those bands and their fans to do their, uhh, thing that they do.
Not the point.
Not only that but that in supporting Mcr I will now be supporting Msi.
Exactly the point. Or one of them, anyway.

Thank you, Entropy.
Yeah, the thing with Bob is pissing me off, too. I hope he's all right and it's nothing serious, but we don't know, do we? That's because clearly we're just not supposed to think about certain things or ask certain questions.
Toujours:

It has very little to do with my opinion on them. It has everything to do on what Gerard used to say was his opinion on bands with far more innocuous lyrics and antics.
Myalyas,no. I'm not stating fact or anything,it's all just me thinking.
Which I found to be not so safe.
I see GW is one of the men in black. He has been erasing the memories of the fansheep so that they do not question anything.
that was entropy
but I agree
You Myalyas, why did you ask for me?
It'll have to be quick cos I'll be off to bed in the next 5 mins.
O_o *THUD*
I leave work to come home, and you guys have:
1) gone to Raunchyville! (I swear I heard the propriety level bottom out an hour agi.)
2) started a new game
3) somehow turned me into a naughty NUN?!?! Okaaaaaaaay...
Sdock10, your last post was fucking BEAUTIFUL. *hugz*
*hugz for everybody who wants them*
You guys are so fucking fabulous, it hurts. As a rule, I've never really been into forums and such - until these blogs. Some days I literally have to tear myself away from the 'puter. At work, and at home. And as pathetic as this sounds, I fell like I have a whole bunch of new friends. #^_^#
What I like(d) about Mayo as GW:
- His intelligence (and the fact that he's so articulate)
- His self-consciousness
- His tummy (paunch! YEAH!!)
- His eyes (of course)
- His NOT being an arrogant, conceited, stuck-up dick of a musician who doesn't appear to give a shit about anybody but himself (I've known more than enough of that kind of musician, thankyouverymuch!)
I still love his eyes, and his voice; I just think he needs somebody to set his ass straight and clue him in to what adulthood REALLY is. And that being in your 30's is nowhere near the end of the world. Hell, I don't say anything in this blog that I wouldn't say to his face. I don't know where he got some of his ideas about 'being a grown-up' from, but they're pretty fucked up.
So Mayo, consider this an open invitation: If you ever get tired of all the ass-kissers and feel like you need a good fuckin' dose of reality, look me up. I won't attack you, but I won't lie to you, either. The only thing in your life that I can't say 'been there, done that' to is the fact that you're male. The rest, I've been through -- and survived, heart & mind intact.
You're a better person than you think you are; your current 'act' doesn't fool everyone. I can still see the shy, unsure young man in you that wants to be loved and accepted. You are, and you can be; you just need to put your faith in the right people. You think you're all grown up, but honey, there's still so much you have yet to learn. As cynical as I am, know that I haven't given up on you yet.
I'm off to watch House, everybody.
Be back later! :)
On a more serious note, I think L brought up the point about U2. Back in the days of The Joshua Tree, U2 was touted as being the Next Best Thing Since God, basically. The Band That Saved the World. Well, the pressure got to them as well. Bono started using drugs, drinking, acting like a shithead all the time. Because of the pressures that the public put on them to remain the Saviors of rock and roll. Their message was all that the public and the critics could focus on. After a while of hearing that you can do no wrong, and you're the only hope we have, you start to crack.
They were about the same age as the guys in MCR are now.
U2 solved their problem by doing a 180. They embraced the "sex, drugs, and rock and roll" theme, and said "FUCK YOU!" to everybody.
But after a few years, they found they couldn't stay away from their roots.
Look at them now. They're still out there, still strong. They almost broke up over the controversy originally, but they stuck it out.
Just sayin', is all.
J.
Martha,thanks for bringing that up.I forgot about the Mama video supposedly coming out today over in NZ. But that's is because I never really believed it.
Anyone know anything?
