So you let that go with little debate.
Perhaps it was inserted too late.
Could you please go back in time
just a minute and revisit the rhyme?
The store remains locked.
But the shelves are carefully stocked
with reasons there for all to see.
You are oh so very close to me.
p.s. trust that I try to reflect back to you what you have given to me.

*hug*
Oh, AIP. You're a funny character, you are. I'll comandeer it, only I don't know how to drive a huge-ass boat.
I've gotta go too, guys.
Take Care...catch you soon!
See ya DG. See ya CTV.
What I don't understand is that if, like people have mentioned, Gerard is fed up of a teenie fanbase, why is it them that he is playing up to.
Thanks for answering the desert-island question, everyone.
Whoo, J! You saucy!! I like it!
If L will be on later, Mayo might want to forgo the big-boy panties and invest in some Depends. :)
Sometimes I wonder if Gerard actually remembers the things he's said in previous interviews. He likes to talk the talk, but he seems to be having trouble walking the walk. Dude needs to realize that people will only like & respect him for being himself, not whoever he's trying to be. It's wholly possible to be empathetic & bad-ass at the same time; he's just trying too hard to show he can be both.
Mustard, are you okay?
We've all been pretty *meh* lately, but you seem... I don't know, especially disillusioned today?
Good bye DG!
*hug*
Why couldn't we ship the boat to the Burmuda Triangle? ;D
See ya later DG, go you need my peg?
Mustard, you've got yourself a deal. Just get it halfway to the island and abandon ship. We'll pick you up in my enormous cruise ship and go toga party at the temple.
The Bermuda Triangle sounds better!
Who do you think the light symbolizes?
Fearlessness
Breath
Inner peace
Happiness
No sense of pressure
Sensitivity (lack of numbness)
...
.....
.......
...My ass?
Yay, party at AIP's temple. I hope you're looking after it, I put a lot of effort into building that to your deadline. My hands are still blistered.
But if there's jelly and ice-cream it's forgiven.
Kapunua!
Glad to see you back!
*hug*
Hey there kapunua. It's good to see you back. You sure do like to say my ass alot don't you? ^_^
And it's a shame he doesn't know that it's a complete fucking mockary of everything they've worked so hard to achieve. It's distasteful and it's an embarassment. It's pitiful. And it's not okay. He needs to know that. How do we go about that?
I've been trying to go about that for months, because I used to love this band. :/ I wrote that one letter... any other suggestions?
Ha! kapunua's ass is back.
If it wasn't for Gerard's asbestos undies, he would blind us by the sun that shines out of his arse. At least in his own mind ha!
Oh and of course, hey guys!
Keep in mind that when saying "my ass," you have to say it like Betty from "Kung Pow - Enter The Fist." That's the only way it works.
Although when punching someone in the vagina, you can add your own style. My day really blew, I was vunching people left and right. POW! POW! POW!
Hmm.. how about we kidnap them all, and sit down with them over a 'civil' cup of tea with cupcakes and give them a piece of our minds. And I know that they will get an ear full out of all of us!
Some of the kids are disheartened too. One of my favorite students happens to be a big fan. She's 16, and really smart. She said she's just sad now after PR and some of the antics. She said something's not right. She asked me if I saw the pictures from last night, and we discussed the fact that Frank looked sad. She looked at me and said "It'll be okay, right?" I told her yes, because I truly believe it will be. I don't know why, but I feel it.
Paperheart, I still prefer the shark scenario.
Star, that is sad.
His antics are indeed embarrassing. If you ever saw them in person, you would want to turn your head away. I know I do when I see them. I was at the show itself when Gerard was licking Mikey. I turned my head away at the time, but I could hear people around me going, "eww". It is simply embarrassing.
Star, that is sad. It is very disheartening to hear something like that.
Miss T. So would I really! ;)
Gerard licked Mikey?! Wow I never heard about that.
Star, that is sad. I'm glad that you can talk to one of your students about the band.
Yes he did paperheart. I was there when it happened. The next day after the show, people were making a big deal out of it. It's weird to be part of something that people would talk about O_o
Yes, she heard me playing "Famous Last Words" on my itunes before homeroom one day and ran over to ask if I was a fan. We have MCR chat before homeroom at least once a week.
Wow, I can't believe that happened! That would be weird though..
Unfortunately, I must be off. I'm baking a cake at a friends. I promise to be back on tonight! *hug*
Goodbye Mayo.
Goodbye everyone!
Love;
-007
Take care paperheart *hugs* ^_^
*hugs* paperheart. See ya later.
Awwh star, that must be good! =]
*hug*
I wish I had a cool teacher like you! Or maybe even cool friends?
None of my friends listen to MCR. Everyday I have to listen to them saying how "gay" they are and how Gerard can't sing and how they suck. You will not believe some of the things I hear.
Again, goodbye!! <3
Alright, Sis. You asked, I have to answer. Wait, only 3? But Sis.....I have my mirror, my tiara and my hairbrush...a princess has soooo many necessities.
Oooohhh, snap. You said things. So those would be my three THINGS.
So WHO would I HAVE to take with me?
My King. Of course.

GAME ON!
Here's an idea how we can make a statement. ^_~

Hiya Kapunua! ^_^
Will answer your email soon, I promise.

What I don't understand is that if, like people have mentioned, Gerard is fed up of a teenie fanbase, why is it them that he is playing up to.
Say he *is* fed up. He's smart enough to know that about 90% of MCR fans are teenage girls, who have a crush on him & make him the pin-up boy.
How the whole band thing works is, you have to make the teenage girls want you. If the girls don't want you, the guys won't want to BE you, and your male fanbase will be very small. And it's the teenagers who buy ~95% of the newer music out there. They're the ones that will pay exorbitant amounts of cash to see their favorite bands live.
So as much as he might want to appear more bad-asse, he'll keep catering to the kids because he knows that he can do no wrong in their eyes. (And keep in mind, I don't mean *all* teenagers - just a lot of them.)
Look at BN & INO -- most of the rabid fans there are in the 13-18 demographic. They don't see a problem with anything he does.
If MCR had an older fanbase, he wouldn't be able to pull most of the shit we've seen from him lately. They wouldn't tolerate it. But when you cater to the teenyboppers, they'll lap it all up. And he fucking KNOWS it.
I had a point somewhere in there, but it got lost in the tangent. >.<
I'm off for home, peeps.
See ya later! :D
See ya later sis m.
A good point. I love the pic by the way.
He knows what people say on the internet and blogs like this, and i have no doubt in my mind about that since he's made it obvious in the past.
Perhaps he just likes fucking with peoples heads.
Perhaps he's not in as much control as you all seem to think.
gel,perhaps he is.
*waves fist at him* bastard ha!
Wow there's a lot of posts been deleted :o
Nice to see a new Mayo blog post.
Again, I have no clue what Mayo is referring to, but it's cool to read what you all are thinking.
Yes black jacket, contemplating reading all the comments just makes your eyes water.
And regarding mayo's post, most of us don't even begin to dissect it. Can't be arsed.
I just need to pop in rel quick here and make an observation. I just made the mistake of checking the "rumors" thread on INO.net.
Oh my god, does anyone on that entire website have a brain?Anyone? Not only are they all so far up Gerard's butt that he can probably taste them, but they're just really stupid. Can't spell, can't put thoughts together, can't think for themselves. God, this is the fanbase that Gerard is playing to? This is what he wants?
Wow.
Anon @ 11:13, I don't think he is in control, in fact I think that he is completely out of control...
Yes kapunua. And if that is who he is playing up to, he'll get what he deserves. And we'll be there to laugh when he does.
I agree anon, those are not the actions of a man in control.
Kapunua I totally agree. The rumours thread is shit. People still go in there asking if it's true that Gerard's married.
It's like - why do you need to repost that a billion times when you could just lurk until you find the answers?
Another thing which irks me about those fan forums is when they have a thread posted with the heading, "How do you meet MCR?" and then you go in there and they say, "I wanna meet Gerard". Uh... there are 5 band members you know?
Its only a part of the fanbase that is like this, not the entire equation.
While yes these fans piss me off and make me want to head desk until my head explodes, people tend to make a generic generalization that ALL mcr fans are like this, when however they are not.
Typical MCR fan- 14 year old teenie, right?
Well it just so happens that i mainly know guys that like this band and the girls that do like them dont fan girl over them.
I hope that is not what the band thinks
Gerard: hey, Frank, people think it's stupid when I wear a ridiculous shirt that says 'Lyn Z' on it. Let's see if they think it's stupid if you wear a shirt that says 'I Love Gerard.' AHhhahaha, double standard!"
The only difference is that FRANK IS IN THE BAND an dpeole pay to see Frank, Gerard, Ray, Mikey and Bob interact with each other.
*bitchslaps*
Just sayin'.
I agree kapunua, I don't mind how much Gerard, Mikey and Frank fawn all over each other. They are in the same band. But when Gerard brings that attention on an outsider, well,it shouldn't have any place in the show.
I agree wholly, Sister Midnite.
Righty-oh.
look at this peeps
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_and_Rare_%28My_Chemical_Romance_EP%29
hahahahaha
Im giving it a couple weeks and it should soon phase out, a little period Gerard is going through called "give all attention to my wife", hopefully it will.
Im guessing this is just the aftermath of marriage, but yet again, ive never experienced that so how would i know.
Espeacially when that outsider is your wife,that is bringing your personal life on stage. Frank is part of the band,he can do that.
Oh Mayo, Mayo, Mayo,
So you want us to go back and analyze the poem?
So let's pretend that we manage to unravel all the metaphors and cyphers, what then?
What would it achieve?
If you want to change the way your life is going then do it!
Do you need our permission?
No.
Which leads me to think two things. This is just an almighty game and you are having a great laugh or this is a serious game and you need us as a support system.
Either way, what do you want from us?
I don't know what else to say to you, it's all been said before, but still we go around and around and around.
It's make your mind up time my love.
SS,
Come and join me here on the floor poppet, that's it , prop your feet up on the wall, lie back and just breathe.
Slowly in , slowly out.
Close your eyes and think of beautiful things.
You're going to be alright, we're here to catch you.
Why don't we just pretend he isn't a Big Evil Mastermind, and instead pretend he's one of us, and just wants someone to read what he posted and think about it and care about what he's going through?
Or is that too difficult?
hey is the kickball game still on?
Hey BC!
mustardisbetter said...
Yes, MissT, I agree. But, if Mayo is Gerard and he feels this way, he knows how we feel because we haven't hidden it on here. He knows that we don't appreciate him using the stage as a billboard. He knows, but yet it hasn't stopped him yet.
I have a feeling that even if the other band members tried to sensitively discuss this issue with him, they would be wasting their time. Gerard would view that as a direct challenge and go straight into defense mode, which in his case is to attack.
You can't argue with him, he will always have the last word and then defiantly attend the EMA's with his 'expressive body art' just to make his point.
Yo entropy wass up?
:D
Nothing much.
How are you?
Why don't we just pretend he isn't a Big Evil Mastermind, and instead pretend he's one of us, and just wants someone to read what he posted and think about it and care about what he's going through?
Or is that too difficult?
because that's not how communication actually works. If you want to say something to somebody and have it mean something, get a response that actually means something, you have to actually say it and not talk in poetry and metaphors.
Now I understand that Mayo is in a position where he can't outright say anything. If he's someone pretending to be Gerard Way, he can't give himself up. If he is Gerard Way, he also can't give himself up. Hence all this riddle-speak.
BUT! If Mayo wants us to dissect something in order to better understand, he needs to first understand that metaphors and poetry only make sense when placed in context. What the hell are we supposed to gather from a random poem by a guy who has the same middle name as the poster's nickname here? We don't know who Mayo is. We don't know what is going on in his life. Without context, it's meaningless. Anything we say will be filtered through what we think, most of which is probably wrong.*
*Except for anything I say, which is always right. ^_~
Anon, are you saying that someone has confronted him and the ema's was the result?
Gerard should just put up a 'For Rent" sign on his neck and have companies pay him to advertise their products.
That would be an easier way of paying back UMaine
I'm doing pretty good. I am quite in a good mood, considering that I was feeling like shit earlier in the day :)
Why not put a sign that says, "buy me" taped to his forehead? :D
*sings "your poison running through my veins"* Sorry guys, I'm listening to some Alice Cooper at the moment ^_^
Ha gel, I like that.
Yes kapunua, make him stop talking in riddles.
Metaphors and poetry should never be placed in context.
However, it's his blog. We're the guests, no matter how long we have visited here. He gets to set the rules, not us.
Complaining about them is just unmannerly.
That's good BC.
Yep. How are you doing so far entropy?
I'm doing pretty good,thanks.
No problem. So guys, when does the kickball game start?
KICKBALL FINALLY!!
If you were stranded on a desert island, what three things would you bring?
1. Bear Grylls or that Survivorman Guy from Discover Channel
2. Hot Sauce
3. Footballs
Where is the rest of the team?
Hey sdock!
Kickball!
Hi there sd10. We're not sure where the rest of the team is :(
All I am saying is that Gerard has trouble distinguishing constructive criticism from personal criticism.
Gerard does not react well to what he perceives to be personal criticism and tends to lash out, no matter how well meaning the advice or suggestions.
I can believe that anon.
Yes anon, but if he carries on like that he'll end up being the kid in the playground no-one wants to hang with cos they have too many tantrums.
Hi sdock :)
First aider present and correct 00\
* that's supposed to be a salute by the way ! *
Anonymous said...

Perhaps when read or viewed on their own with no agenda, ("please understand me,") that might be good way to look at it. But sweetheart, when someone is asking you to understand something but offering no context at all, then yes, that kind of clarification is needed. If you want understanding, you need to be clear. You missed the point, too, Bright Star: we don't even know who the hell Mayo is. What are we supposed to gather about Mayo from some random poem?
However, it's his blog. We're the guests, no matter how long we have visited here. He gets to set the rules, not us.
I wasn't aware of any "rules."
Complaining about them is just unmannerly.
My ass.
^
It is better to suffer an injustice than to commit one. No man should be punished for his thoughts.
Isn't that right anon?
P.S. Are you finally getting weary?
BC, you are on probation. You left us for awhile with no prior approval. You got cupcakes? If yes, then we'll reconsider.
Dr. Nut? Where is the fuckin' footballs. These peeps is got me all 'touched in the head'.
And, hot sauce? What the fuck would you put it on? Seashells?
Heh-heh, I'd put it on Frankie.
Hi Everyone,
Dr. Nut is in the house. How the fuck is everyone this fine evening? I hope we can have a real chill game.
Hi everyone, I brought pizza for whoever wants some.
I apologize smoke. I have the cupcakes, but I will not give them out until everyone is present. That is an order ^_^
Hey anon, it is our right and duty to bitch and complain about the metaphors. No one enjoys them. I sure as hell do not. I prefer straightforward honesty. No games, no gimmicks, no poems, none of that bullshit.
Hello everyone :)
Miss T, i'd like some pizza. Pretty please?
I came for the cryptic poetry. I’ll stay for the kickball.
*grabs a seat*
(Anything else I would have said with relevance would have gotten me yelled at. Nice thoughts some of you have tonight.)
Tuck in CTV, there's enough for everyone and if we run out we can order more so that dishy delivery boy will come back.
Hold up, BC. You don't hold out on the Captain.
You know what, on second thought, I think want some fuckin' pizza instead.
Cupcakes for dessert.
Who wants to hold my mirror????
Not you, Mayo. Not today, dude. I just cleaned it and shit. You might fuck it up again.
Cheerleader Ergoproxy? Where you at?
Hey MissT,CTV and AIP.
I'll pass on the pizza.I don't like pizza,ha.
Anon @ 12.26
We're all getting weary.
hello hello CTV how are you? AIP, I don't think anyone will yell at you ^_^
Miss T, I can go for some pizza. As a matter of fact, I actually want one. I think I'm going to call the pizza place right now :)
were are my european chums that sit on the sidelines with me. i am feeling lonely over here watching!!!!
No, don't misunderstand: I normally love metaphors, symbolism and all of that. But when you are asking us to understand you, to give something back to you when we don't even know who the hell you are or exactly what you are--what your circumstances are?--that's just asking too much. You're too much a stranger. If you want a reply that means something to you, you have to give context first.
Of course smoke. I will save a cupcake for you :)
Mayo is not getting one though.
Fare the well my Nightingale, 'twas long ago I found you. Now all your songs of beauty fail; the forest closes 'round you.
...Fare thee well my nightingale, I lived but to be near you. Tho' you are singing somewhere still, I can no longer hear you.
I agree kapunua. Sorry everyone, not much in the mood for metaphors anymore :(
Im here FS. Here have some pizza.
Have I set your taste buds off BC ha!
Sorry you don't like it Entropy, how about some garlic bread instead.
Hello entropy and BC. I'm fine. Just watching an Alfred Hitchcock movie on TV.
I see some more Anons have joined us. Eh.
mmmmmm pizza. i love piza. whats the topping miss t.
Yes it did Miss T ^_^
I'm going to go annoy the pizza boy. be back soon
I'm here FS :)
Im guessing this is just the aftermath of marriage, but yet again, ive never experienced that so how would i know.
The aftermath of marriage...
Sounds apocalyptic. I like it.
Garlic bread would be great MissT,thank you!
Hey anon, it is our right and duty to bitch and complain about the metaphors.
Your right, yes; your duty, I disagree, but then, that is my right.
No one enjoys them.
You do not speak for everyone who comes to read this blog.
Hi RW, how are you?
FS, what ever topping you want , I brought a variety. (have you got it yet? I've tried again)
I agree kapunua. Sorry everyone, not much in the mood for metaphors anymore :(
I agree. Never was to begin with.
Mayo, I cannot help but think that you don't take us seriously. Maybe this is some sick and twisted game and you find enjoyment in seeing us pour our hearts to you while you laugh. I'm trying to trust you. I'm trying to have faith. Believe me, I don't like having these thoughts.
But we've been here for what? Two months? You haven't changed. You haven't improved. Your stage antics continue. Can you blame me for having these thoughts?
hey rw, how are you. are you getting excited. have you got your uniform out ready. ohhhh i am soooo excited for you
hey gs. i am glad you joined me and miss t. we are having pizza. mmmmmm so when is the kickball starting and who are we playing?
nope miss t i am sorry i aint got it yet. i will keep an eye for it. i bet they have woken up and took it. you know who i am talking about shhhhhhhh lol
Yeah FS, that's three times I've tried, damn danes ha!
Hello RW,
Not long now before the trip :)
You do not speak for everyone who comes to read this blog.
Allow me to correct that on her behalf.
99% of the viewers don't enjoy the metaphors. Happy now?
miss t lol cant believe they have done it again. they should just g back to sleep or get their own emails lol
did you recieve mine tho. thats a mystery. watch it i will get 3 in the morning and i will be like god this girl really like me to email the same thing 3 times. must be the ET thing again lol
Miss T, could I grab some garlic bread please, I'm starving!
But we've been here for what? Two months? You haven't changed. You haven't improved.
And everyone knows that defeating one's demons ought to happen in a timely fashion.
Actually, "Nightingale" is too sad, and I'm a little too worried about that dumb little head of yours tonight, Gerard, to be that fatalistic.
Here is a song for you, Gerard, because I know you lurk.
If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will
If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing
If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well
And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will
Context? Point of view? Up to you decide. No, wait, I changed my mind, it's not up to you to decide; it is what it is: in this group, at least, we are not your "children." Is it what you want? Your praises? Mercy? Choice?
Anyway, that's a gift to you. Accept it. Click, you actually have to hear the song. If it doesn't break your heart, you don't have one. That's not even a matter of opinion, but of fact. ^_~

No anon,I don't think it is too difficult of a request.
Mayonaise never asked us directly to save him.It appears that we(kind and kick-ass people that we are)decided to try anything and everything to get him to listen.
Most times, we are left hanging here in cold darkness not really sure what is needed or wanted.
I would gladly adhere to any rules or guidelines,he wanted us to follow.
Mayonaise,all I ask is;
lead
follow
or get the hell out of the way.
hello to all

Hello Miss T :) I'm very well, thanks. And you?
Hi FS :) How was your day?
Excited... I think it's not close enough to my trip yet. Er, yes, it's in less than a week, but I usually find the countdown a bit anticlimactic until the day before my flight. Not sure why, but it's typical of nearly all my travel plans.
I am, however, excited about getting my hair done tomorrow :D I'm getting it coloured (burgundy or wine, something in the violet red range) and cut. My hair dresser, who was referred to me by a stylish friend, is a genius. I just wish I could get my hair to look as good as she can get it to look. Never works that way, though.
Also, I've got to do some minor alterations on my costume bodice/jacket. I've lost a bit of weight since I made it, and it needs to be nipped in at the waist. The hat, however, is well broken in now, so huzzah for that!
99% of the viewers don't enjoy the metaphors. Happy now?
Actually, no. You didn't conduct a survey.
GS tuck in, take as much as you want cos I've brought loads.
FS, this happened with pixie tonight. She sent me another and then it worked. You could try sending me another.
Hi GS! :D Yes, only 6 more days!
i think you should make a blog for the hat rw. it is famous in blogtown now lol. i bet mayo would like to wear your hat
i am ok rw my day was so so. bit boring but having fun nw waiting for the kickball to start. oh and eating pizza. miss t can i have pepparoni on my pizza please mmmmmm mouth watering already
I'm good RW.
So glad to hear about the hat, it was praying on my mind you know ha! Have fun in London.
I based it on the thousands of comments i've read, my dear. Why one would rather read cryptic messages over straightforward ones is beyond me. Maybe some find it more fun. I find it gets old after 30 entries.
hey iss t i have sent you a second one. let me know if you get it pleaseeeeeeee
My hat (not to be confused with my ass):
http://www.musictreasures.com/catalog_full/dshowcase/HTSHNP.jpg
This is the exact model I ordered, only mine has a feather plume, not a plastic one. Looks more historical that way, I find.
Have fun, RW!
Hi SC!
You rock.
Wanna play? You can kick first. I was waiting on my co-captain but I don't know where she went.
Anon @ 12:52,
You should make a to-do list. That way you'll be sure to defeat those demons each and every day.

No, we don't expect that, at least I don't. This is just a draining experience and I am so tired, mentally and emotionally.
It's just that when you run around in circles there is no end in sight, and that is quite demoralising.
Miss T - cheers my dears :)
That is a cool looking hat you got there RW.
Anonymous, which is why I apologized during my later comment. I know I do not speak for everyone here.
Mayo,
The posts lately have made me think about a few things.
Remember a couple of days ago I mentioned the long-ago-planted seed that has grown out of control?
It is there, isn't it?
I am not Catholic, but Methodist. There are some similarities, but the largest chasm is in tolerance.
I dated a man for 5 years who was born and raised Catholic. I even took classes at the local cathedral to get a better idea of his way of looking at life.
Eye-opening, to say the least. I think I freaked the nun out a few times with some of my questions...
I could be completely off the mark with this, but something I have noticed is that when you seem to be really happy, you find a way to sabotage that happiness. And I honestly do not believe you are doing it for yourself, or to hurt others, but in your mind, to save them.
The last interview I saw where you looked truly happy was in Germany early this summer. There was a genuine smile, a genuine laugh.
Weeks later, that was gone.
We're not blind, sweetie.
You don't want to hurt others, you want to make sure no one else pays for your sins.
And if that means destroying yourself and pushing everyone away, so be it. You think you are doing it for the right reasons.
There is a book called "Are You There Alone?" that chronicles the Andrea Yates story.
She drowned all 5 of her children, because she honestly believed she was a bad mother and had failed them. Raised a Catholic, she feared they would not get into Heaven because of her shortcomings, so she made the choice for them. She believed that since they were so young, they would be accepted, and that was all that mattered.
She did not care what happened to herself, she saw it as doing it for THE GOOD of the children.
Do you think what she did was right?
She completely thought it was.
You don't care what happens to you, as long as others are protected. Even if it means making sure that they hate you so much they will have nothing to do with you.
Better that than to drag them down with you. Better to be unhappy and tear down everything now, so others can go on with their lives the way they were supposed to do.
Is this really it? Do you honestly think they will be better off if you martyr yourself?
No, baby, they will still love you, still be there, no matter what. Look at the past. It didn't work before. Like it or not, you are loved and there are people who think YOU are worth saving.
Don't fight what you don't need to fight. Save it for what really matters.
God will not turn His back on you, nor on them. I know this goes against everything you have been taught, but look inside your heart, what do you really feel?
Stay on the ride.
I love you dearly,
L.
Got it and replied FS. Let me know if it reaches you.
Metaphors? Can I go on record to say that I'm part of the .01% that actually enjoy them? Hell, what can I say? I have a lot of free time on my hands.
Princess Smoke,
The hot sauce is for.....well, tonight it's for the pizza! Badass!
I can defeat my demons in lesser time than it takes to make spaghetti! Ha! Lol :D
P.S. I am kidding of course. I know that some anons seems to have some kind of bug stuck up their ass before they realize that.
Ha GS! Cheers my dears, my mum says that.
(((You should make a to-do list. That way you'll be sure to defeat those demons each and every day.

sdock10,
woohoo!me too.even if takes me days to understand them.
`sc
That is a cool looking hat you got there RW.
Why, thank you, Entropy! It looks quite fetching when paired with my big old yellow duckie PJs, if I do say so myself ;)
I could be completely off the mark with this, but something I have noticed is that when you seem to be really happy, you find a way to sabotage that happiness. And I honestly do not believe you are doing it for yourself, or to hurt others, but in your mind, to save them.
Original punks, I absolutely agree with this passage you posted. It seems to me that Mayo may have sabotaged real happiness because either he is trying to "protect others" from himself, or that he feels that he does not truly deserve it because he feels deep down that he is a "bad man." Listen to some of the lyrics for House of Wolves. I believe the answer may lie there.
S&V20, BC makes the never ending spaghetti from hell ha!
I'm just kidding you too.
Nah smoke&venom. It only takes me about 15 to 20 minutes to cook spaghetti ^____^
I am not sure what demons I have. Stubborness, a strong will, not listening to others, and having a temper may be some of them ^_^
I was never one of those frilly giggly girls, I will admit that.
Go to Sleep, BC.
That's where the answers lie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ha! Ha! Just messin' with ya, again.
But for real, the song Sleep. Listen to it.
ha ha Miss T. I know you guys are kidding :D Love to both of you anyways ^_^
That might be a problem smoke. I don't like that song actually :(
Love to you BC and your spaghetti.
Hi Mayo. I've had a fucked up week, so please accept these small tokens of friendship in this post. Hope it helps.
1. zippo lighter to help you find your way
2. skeleton key for the locked store
3. my rosary, well used and can be comforting.
Please return to me when you've figured out what you need.
OK, now everybody else, game on? I'll hang by the the other fans. Is there a smoking section?
SS blog - is this new, can't translate.
Accipere quam facere praestat injuriam - quamis cogitationis poenum nemo patitur.
Lots of love to Miss T and your pizza as well :)
Princess Smoke,
We we're reading the lyrics to "Sleep" again today.
There may be more there than we know.
Love,
L.
Well, you don't have to like it BC, to know that song has more meaning behind it than some of the others.
BC, my pizza send love back your way ha!
Thanks smoke. Honestly, I only heard that song at least once. Should I bow down my head in complete shame? :D
Although I do find the history of sex on the history channel much more fascinating he he ^_^
Only kidding of course XD
That might be a problem smoke. I don't like that song actually :(
Really? That's one of my faves. "Teenagers" is the song off that album that I don't really care for. I usually skip it when listening to TBP.
miss t i have sebt you a reply. hope you like.
ok so wats going on. bc your cooking spaghetti? or have i missed a point lol. i am very slow i will just go back to my seat on the sidelines. is there any pizza left i am still hungry mmmmmm
Miss T, and everyone else, may the love concocted from my spaghetti send lots of love and peace and happiness as well ^_^
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE LYRICS
"Sleep"
[Voice recording rewinds and plays certain parts, speeds up and slows down:]
"...Like last night, they are not like tremors, they are worse than tremors,
they are these terrors. And it's like, it feels like as if somebody
was gripping my throat and squeezing and..."
Some say, now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior,
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions.
Don't you breathe for me,
Undeserving of your sympathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did.
And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.
The hardest part is letting go of your dreams.
A drink for the horror that I'm in,
For the good guys, and the bad guys,
For the monsters that I've been.
Three cheers for tyranny,
Unapologetic apathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.
And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.
The hardest part's the awful things that I've seen.
[Voice recording:]
"...Sometimes I see flames. And sometimes
I see people that I love dying and... it's always..."
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
[Screaming:] Wake up!
[Voice recording:]
"And I can't... I can't ever wake up.
You guys were talking about "Sleep", so I decided to post them for you guys=]
Princess,
J. has said that she doesn't like to listen to "Welcome To The Black Parade", not because she doesn't like the song, she doesn't like the feeling it gives her.
I think "Sleep" is one of THE most powerful songs on that album, but I also have trouble listening to it. It truly chills me some days.
L.
i love house of wolves cos i dance like a loon to it and i like it when he sings
ashes to ashes wel burn in hell
something like that
The new SS Latin, GS:
"It is better to suffer an injustice than to do an injustice. Nobody should be punished for their thoughts."
Fimble, I suppose there is no point about my spaghetti, but considering that Miss T said she was going to built a temple in the pizza god's honor, I suppose we are showing respect for the delicious food that was created in Italy ^_^
RW, teenagers is an okay song as well, but I am much more attracted to the more powerful songs such as famous last words, this is how I disappear, and such.
can i ask what is the meaning to sleep and the meaning to disenchanted
i mean what to they mean to the band if anyone knows
At first, I didn't like welcome to the black parade as well until they started overplaying it on the radio. I like it, I just hate that it always gives me a feeling of finality, like something is coming to an end. It's creepy sometimes.
Disenchanted- Gerard said that it is about having a dream and then one day that dream is gone, or something like that
Sleep- Its about when Gerard had terrible nightmares at that haunted house they stayed in. But in the interview i dont remember what they said the meaning of it was.

Those are good too, BC. My particular favourites off TBP are Sleep, House of Wolves, Cancer, and Mama.
Thanks RW :)
I saw that earlier but didn't realise it was from the blog.
I really must read these posts properly :\
Am I the only non-Christian here?
Thanks RW :)

No worries, GS :)
It's hard keeping up with all the posts, especially if you've been out at work all day. It takes me a good hour to go through them all when I get home 0_0
Pretty much the same RW
Sleep
House of Wolves
Mama
In that order.
Am I the only non-Christian here?
Nope.
gel thank you for that. by the way i hope your ok today. what you been up to?
Oh yeah, my other favorites are Mama and cancer as well. When I went to see mcr last year, they were performing some of the new songs from the TBP and they were peforming the last new song when Gerard announced that it was going to be the last black parade song they were going to play for the night.
What was funny was that two or three songs later, they ended up playing Cancer. He is such a dork sometimes. ^_^
"Sleep" is the song where I feel Gerard is being truly honest. I believe him when he sings that song.
I agree on the chills part totally.
No Kapunua, I don't follow a religion.
No disrespects to anyone here.
I always thought "Sleep" was about not being able to face the world anymore. Just saying fuck it and shutting it all off. I know from personal experience that when my depression grew too much I just wanted to sleep. Just sleep.
me nither gs. just thoughti would say it
I'm Catholic myself, although I am not a devout one. I firmly believe that there is good and evil in this world, no matter what religion you practice or believe in.
All bow down to the pizza.
*hail ye pizza*
Maybe we should offer a sacrifice to the pizza god. I worship at his temple ha!
Yes, a pizza slice shaped temple.
Im doing good FS, just a little sleepy
thank you for asking
All hail the pizza! I worship its greatness :D
Although I have a great love of learning about pagan religions, I follow none. I don't believe in any supernatural being, I believe in science and nature.
I would not have a dig at anyone for there religious beliefs though. Each to their own.
I only worship the pizza. Oh and Tottenham Hotspur. Oh and the England football team. Oh and F1. Etc.

Gerard should just put up a 'For Rent" sign on his neck and have companies pay him to advertise their products.
That would be an easier way of paying back UMaine

hahaha lmao!!! that nearly made me fall of my chair haha.
and i personally like the metaphors, i like having something to think on, it would be boring if it was straightforward, i like riddles and riddled people unfortunately.
How is everyone anyway?
all hail pizza lol
This was the day, or maybe the day after, I discovered MCR. The video was "I'm Not Okay."
This was the day I really fell in love with them. It was the music, but it was the issues first.
Then there was what I didn't write about, what I never really wrote about, which was the first time I listened to The Black Parade. Man, it was a sucky, awful day. It was April 15th, the "going away party" for one of my two best friends, Britney, a few days after she had told me that she had to move back to Hawai'i because her Mom had cancer. This was a year from when she moved here after her Dad had died suddenly of a heart attack. At the same time, our other good friend's father was in the hospital with advanced cancer. A few days before the "party" she had finally told me she was leaving, like, for good. Actually she hadn't told me; she had one of our other friends do it because she couldn't. "I love you too much; I couldn't say it," was what she told me later.
Anyway, so I sleep really well since I hit 30. Before then, all during my childhood and young adult-hood, I was an insomniac champ. I spent most of my days on 4 or 5 hours of sleep. And when I did sleep, it was crazy dreams (as I have mentioned) and in those, I could never manage to wake up. Which was equally crappy. That only happens once in a while anymore, and it's always when Bad Things are going on. During this time, all that stuff started to come back and I always know what this means when it goes on. Also, it was raining non-stop during the ween of April 12th-19th.
So anyway, I was tired and frustrated and sad and hadn't slept in like a week, and was going to my friend's going away party, to see her off so she could tend to her mother who had cancer, while our other friend was in the process of losing her father etc. I remember that "Mama" was ending exactly as I pulled up to the restaurant that afternoon, the sky was the color of static and I was wearing my black raincoat which everyone said made me look like Death. (Nice.) I was thinking what an odd but intriguing song that was and maybe I'd take another listen to it on my way back because I felt I'd missed some things.
We had the "party" and it wasn't really a party, it was like the ten of us who had ventured out on this crappy day sitting around a dusty table in a maritime restaurant in a maritime town with insipid, pointless music droning in the not-so-background. We'd all just gotten word that Jane couldn't make it because her father had maybe a few hours left to live, a day at the most. It was maybe the only time that we'd ever all felt awkward together, the bunch of us. And it was over really quickly.
We all left at the same time and I was driving home in the rain listening to Mama once again but kind of thinking about what these really good people were facing, and I was just really, really tired and hoping against all hope that maybe tonight I would be able to just, you know, sleep.
Which of course is when "Sleep" came on. It kinda hit me right about there, and by the time I heard the words "sometimes I see people I love dying," I had to pull over to the side of the road. But I was kind of relieved because I was thinking, wow you know, someone else out there who is so neurotic that they can't sleep. And then the whole ending of the song was like a falling tower. "WAKE UP."
It's still my favorite track on the entire album.
I hate not being able to sleep. But tonight, just watch! I'm going to sleep so hard that the gods of sleep themselves will look down from on high and be like, "...DAMN!"
Disappear, Sleep, House of Wolves and Mama all have religious imagery in them. I'm convinced they all came out of being Catholic, and whatever went on at the Paramour.
BTW, I was raised Catholic. Being Catholic and Italian American can warp you, let me tell ya!
Wow, i write way too damn much.
I pretty much have to play TBP from start to finish. I can't start with The Sharpest Lives and skip to Teenagers. It just doesn't work. It's got to be from The End all the way to Famous Last Words and depending on where I am, Blood.
Honestly, I can come up with several different scenarios as to what Sleep could mean, but I don't know. All I do know is that it creeps me the hell out.

All I am saying is that Gerard has trouble distinguishing constructive criticism from personal criticism.
Gerard does not react well to what he perceives to be personal criticism and tends to lash out, no matter how well meaning the advice or suggestions.

anon,I agree with your post.

Hi there shame in me. How are you?
I suppose you are right about the riddles. I like that they make me think, but I cannot handle them at every blog. Sometimes I just like to fuck around and not give two shits.
Miss T, we need to create a cult in dedication to the almighty pizza ^_^
I would kiss whoever invented pizza!
I think the only song i have never fully listened to is Cancer, its to hard for me to handle.
Disappear, Sleep and HoW are probably the songs that appear to me the most.
HAHAHA!
BC, I just read "invented pizza" as "INVERTED pizza" and I thought, what's that?
Star, the crazy thing is, I just found out recently that I am half Italian. My mommy neglected to tell us until my aunt told us. Half of my family has the light skin and dark hair and such. I had alot of uncles and aunts who had blue eyes and my grandma had hazel eyes. I have brown eyes though.
ahh star, you silly goose ^_^
I agree BC, we must track down the pizza creator and shower them with kisses.
It's so raw and powerful isn't it Kapunua!
When I first heard it I had a mental image in my head of someone in a car playing it full blast whilst they drove into a wall.
Sick but true.
