Upon arrival, there isn’t nearly enough air to fill my lungs, so in desperation, I scream. Pulling in all that I can because suddenly I feel empty. The comfortable heavy warmth in my chest has been displaced by vacuum. I have no control over where I am. My arms and legs, unbound, find freedom a challenge. And, although I feel hands pulling and fingers pressing, I have no idea why. It is cold. So, I reach for warmth and I find it in purity. I know where I came from; I did not want to leave and with grief comes depth and in the deep I find surrender. It was warm and I swam in it before I knew you. I would go back, but that was before I saw your eyes, before I was pulled into this world and onto your lap a sloppy mess. I need you and without you I am sure I would not thrive.
p.s. i can only imagine.

heart full
Today on my way home from class, I stopped off at the petrol station for some petrol. I paid on my card which wasn’t a lot, and then as I was getting into my car, I saw an old man walking past the building. He had a red and green stripy jumper which was frayed at the ends. He was also wearing some jeans that were dirty and had holes all over.
I sat there and became intrigued by him because I didn’t know what he was doing, so as I sat there and watched him, he continued doing what he set out to do.
He walked past the trash cans and first picked out a cup with some drink still in it (one of the cups that you get from burger king that has coke in it). He then walked over to the next trash can and pulled out the end of a half eaten sandwich. In my shock horror, he ate it and then went to sit on the wall to drink the drink he had found.
I felt sad, I wanted to give him my last $4 that I had but I was told when I was younger that you should never give people money, you should give them something they need or can use because that way, if they had an addiction, they would not be able to use the money for their addiction. So I went into the shop and bought a chicken sandwich from their deli counter and then walked out of the building.
The guy was still sat at the wall drinking his drink so I walked up to him and asked him if he would like this sandwich. He thanked me and said that he was hungry.
I should of felt good after that, doing something for someone else but all I could think of is where his next meal will come from or where in fact he will sleep tonight.

Jennicula,
Thank you for sharing your story. Although it only appeared briefly, I was lucky enough to have caught it.
Once upon a time, for me, that was the best part of this place...having my words related back to me from another's perspective.
And it never mattered to me who said it, just that it meant something to the writer.

Don't let anyone tell you how to live your life. Hold your head up high and be proud of who you are. If you've had a shitty day and you feel like people just don't want you to be happy, and when you find yourself struggling to make it through the day, just keep on believing and keep the faith. Also, from personal experience, don't push people away. When they say they want to help and that they are there for you, let them in. Believe me, I know how fucking scary that thought is, but don't shut others out.

Sometimes, when you look back on stuff in your life, you know, the crap that makes you shake your head and say, "Holy shit, what the Hell was I thinking?" it's part of what makes you - you.
I'm not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. I have made small mistakes and really big, fucking scary mistakes. Would I change those mistakes and blunders?
No. Wanna know why?
Because they make me - me. They help make up the person that I am, what I've learned the hard way. Hopefully I've learned from my mistakes and have become a better person for it. And, hopefully I don't repeat those same mistakes. Although, sometimes I repeat variations of certain ones, but I'm working on that. :)

aloft
Blazing against the sun
like locusts,
samaras swarm the sky
and skitter to an earthly end,
dry
like clever words.
I want to make them fly up,
flip heaven upside down
and dance across the top of hell
and sing your thoughts
to the sound of thunder
that you love so well,
rip open the littered sky
and bathe in the light
or draw across the firmament
the blanket of the night.
In only a day they have
covered the ground,
their brief flight
yielding nothing permanent
on infertile land,
a fleeting moment of swarming glory
that calls to mind our own
short story:
Diamonds and petals,
the loom and the light,
the inkdark moon, foxfire marsh,
an open, waiting hand.
Clever winged seeds
of childhood reminiscent--
and like the idiot grown-up heart,
as stubbornly indehiscent.

Electric Blue
…today I saw a ulysses butterfly it was in our yard and settled to feed on our hibiscus. They really are fantastically beautiful things, the electric blue is amazing, however as they sit with their wings closed they are rather nondescript and dull. Sometimes people are like that, from the outside they seem unappealing but within there hides an amazing beauty for those lucky enough to see it. I hope you appreciate beauty in all things, and look for it perhaps where others miss it.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL.
I read your post again and suddenly without warning memories of construction paper filled my head. I remembered all the lop-sided flowers my girls made when they were young. Bright blue, yellow and pink flowers that were cut out with blunt end scissors would fill the windows to decorate for Easter. An occasional bunny was attempted but those usually ended up looking like creatures from a horror movie. Flowers were so much easier. I can close my eyes and hear the paper being cut into petals. I can smell the Elmer’s glue squirted on in huge blobs to attach each misshapen petal to form the flowers. We had a huge arts and crafts box full of wonderful items just waiting for their imaginations to turn into something wonderful. In my mind I see my daughters, as they once were, small, blond little girls sitting on the floor surrounded by scraps of paper and other art supplies. They would create their masterpieces then proudly show each other. Oh and Lord the messes that would ensue if the glitter made an appearance. Now, the box is forgotten. I’m not really sure where it even is anymore. The few flowers so lovingly created that survived are faded and dusty and high on a shelf they sit. Time marches on, so many things get left behind.
Today was the first Easter I spent alone. I don’t think it really upset me until I remembered the construction paper flowers. Of course I understand that my daughters are growing up and have lives of their own. But understanding doesn’t make it any easier to accept. I miss my little girls in their frilly Easter dresses. I miss the laughter that filled the house when they found what the Easter Bunny left for them. And I miss making the damn flowers.

Ahhhh! I love Queen!!

Would you guys I'm a closet Elton John fan?
I am. :)
Matt Bellamy is pretty dang awesome.
Robert Plant. I had a dream about him a few nights ago. It was odd.
There's lots.
HEY RW!
Me too. Freddy Mercury had the best vocals, and you could really hear his emotion when he would sing. ♥♥♥
Hi and Bye Bubbles!
Sorry I wandered off, working on dinner. Will be back on later.
Have fun!
Oh, and the cat's awake now. I think he woke himself up with the noise.

RAWR RW!
Mustard, Robert Plant singing "Stairway To Heaven" beats all, by far.

Damn. I lose so hard today.
Bye for now, L :) Hi to J!

Not leaving just yet, maybe in about five minutes.
Hi Mayo!
Hi everyone! So what's new?
Kapunua, Car sounds really cool btw.
L, I liked your post about leaning on friends. Gave me a lot to think about. Thanks. :)
SS, I miss you. What can I say, I just do. I feel like you might have been around, but I'm never too sure. It's a nice thought either way. Hope things are good with you. You know, we are always here for you.
GOOOOOOOOD EVENING ANIMA! <3
In honour of L's snoring cat.
(this cat's name is Frank!)
I think I like (or rather prefer) singers that are a less refined. Right inbetween.
RW, sour cream fish? o_0 not too sure about that!
Hi, Anima :D
Hello Mib how are you?
Later l.
I just discover this song but I had the cd for well over a year. The Dream Police by Cheap Trick. I can really speak about the singers ability but I love that song now.
Oh hey, that reminds me, I've still got no takers for my kick-ass Fluevog boots :(
I'm off for my walk.
Enjoy yourselves tonight guys.
xoxox
PH!! So how's the driving coming along? Are you having fun? Cuz driving is way fun.
RW, sour cream fish? o_0 not too sure about that!
It's actually a really lovely recipe that an ex-roommate discovered. You take a piece of whitefish (whatever kind you prefer, I'm using sole), cover it in sour cream, fried onions & mushrooms, parmesan cheese, salt & pepper, and cook it for about 20 minutes. Yum!
Grr.

I know this was a while ago, but "Loudmouth and the Ugly Bitches" is a pretty damn cool band name. Just sayin'.
Hello anima how are you?
I like all kinds of singers. Sometimes it is more about the way they sound when they sing than how great they are.
Later ph
Anita Dick is a good singer
:)
RW, I'll have to share that with my husband. He will love it!
You should put those boots on ebay. Do girls buy shoes on ebay? I have no idea?
Night PH, enjoy your walk!
Hi Amyranth!

Hello amy how are you.
Thank you anmia

Hi, A :D
Grr?
I totally agree Martha. But what is interesting, I was just looking at pictures of Maynard from Tool. One of all time favorite bands. I don't think I knew what he looked like for five years. I barely remember seeing them at Lallapolooza. Their videos on MTV never showed them. His voice is pretty damn good though. I never knew how he was as a performer, but I could totally imagine it...
What's my point? Eh, fuck it. :)
eBay's a good idea, Anima. I might just try that. Seems a shame that they're just sitting here collecting dust :(
I get that a lot, MJ. ^_^ Hey Anima! yeah, Car is such a cutie! Hopefully she'll have some pals to keep her company soon.
Are we talking about vocalists? Jared Leto has an incredible voice.
Hi and bye paperheart.
Hi Mustard, Anima and Amyranth.
Mike Hunt is my favorite singer of all time.

Robert Plant
Ronnie Van Zandt
Bruce Dickinson
Steven Tyler

Good thing I know where she works.

and so on.
ok, gotta run, have fn everyone and i will see you all later.

Nina Hagen is one I'd add to the list.
RW, you can't let them collect dust. Do you have a resale store near your home? That's an option. If all else fails donate them. :)
Amyranth, that sucks. You'll get the money. Don't worry. ^_^
Anima, fucking rights I will.
She doesn't think I'll track her down, but if she refuses to give me the rest of the rent, I'll just smash the windows out of her boyfriend's truck, thus costing him his job, and her the meal ticket she's been living off of for the last month.

Siouxsie
Martin Gore
Shannon Hoon, my favorite unrefined singer.
I know people get pissed when I talk politics, but if anyone is interested, Keith Olbermann has done a FANTASTIC, point by point smackdown of Bush's ideology masquerading as "logic." I urge everyone to read this, because it's beautiful and inspiring at the same time that it's making you righteously angry.
I would Like to add Bjork to that list anon.
Anima I think I heard that tool didn't like to be in there videos. So you had to see them live to know what they looked like.
And the videos that I did see from tool I loved. They were so creepy.
That could be another topic. What band has videos that you like.
Annie Lennox
Morten Harket
Sexiest voice= Elvis Costello.
Don't ask me to explain why.
Morrissey
*launches herself at Fimmy*
*misses*
*lands on Morrissey*
Rats :(
I will also add Dave Gahan to the list.
Johnny Cash
I'd rather donate them to a friend than sell then, Anima. Or at least to a stranger who would appreciate them. I hate that they're going unused.
High and By FS
Awww, my poor pups. It's been raining for five days straight. They are trying to get me to play ball inside. :(
Martha, videos? Oh man, there are a ton.
BTW, I'm totally agreeing with all of additions to the list.
Amyranth, WOW! You know how to bust some balls! Or if you have some type of small claims court (assuming it's a U.S. thing?) I did that once. Solved it.
"The biggest issue we face is, it's bigger than Iraq, it's this ideological struggle against cold-blooded killers who will kill people to achieve their political objectives."
Isn't this just what the war in Iraq is? Sounds like Bush is talking about himself.

I completely understand RW. Those are some really sweet boots. You want them in good hands. :) [or I mean feet] Lame I know.
Bond. Simon Le Bond ;)

Hi, Star :D
Axl rose is a twat
my first rock concert was Guns n Roses.
after Skid Row(they opened) were done, i sat for hours watching bimbo's flash their tits so they could be on the big dumbotron screen, all while fights were breaking out all over the arena.
i didnt even get to see GNR because they decided to hit the stage at 1 o'clock in the morning.
it was the worst concert experience i ever had.
With videos I find I like the stuff from the 80s. Most of the artist these days just want to out do each other. It's not about making a great image to go with the song. Its about out doing everyone else.
That sucks, anon & 7:50pm.
Worst concert I ever went to was The Cult. Not because of any embassing crowd antics or prima donna behavior from the band, but because they were totally lacklustre live. Made me wonder why I bothered. I could have just watched them on vid at home & gotten the same effect.
Axl Rose not there is someone with a big head. Every other time i heard about this guy it was because he did something to piss the fans off. Either not performing or just some other bullshit.
Star,
someone ealier said that you seen Lyn-Z making fun of the fans at MCR's MSG concert.
is that true
Hiya Star, how are you sweetie?
I have just been checking my bank and it's a good job I keep a close eye on it.
I wrote a check to pay my barclaycard and they have taken an extra £100. Now I will have to take the £100 back out of the machine on my barclaycard and put it back in my bank.
Twats.
Hello Star how are you

The worst concert I went to was Oasis. They were crap. They might as well have been statues cos they never moved. No raport with the audience, they never said nowt.
Me and my sis said that if it wasn't for the bloke in front of us dancing like a nutter while we cheered him on (providing better entertainment than the band), we'd have asked for our money back.
Anon, did you hear about the riot in the arena in St. Louis? I've never been a big fan of Axl.
MissT! Star! Nice to see you two.
Nina Simone
I've never seen Oasis live. Did you get your money back?!
Nah Anima, it wasn't so expensive and the mad bloke made us laugh so much he was worth the entrance fee alone.
A friend of mine is seeing The Cure tonight.
The three MCR shows I went to last year whetted my appetite for live shows. But there don't seem to be any bands coming to Toronto this summer that I want to see. Sucks :(
Anima,
i do remember the St Louis riots, that's when Axl jumped into the crowd to grab someones camera.
the GNR concert i was at was crazy.
everybody was chanting "BULLSHIT" every time the PA guy said the band hadn't arrived at the arena yet.
the fucking concert started at 7:30pm and GNR didn't hit the stage till 1am. it still pisses me off.

Did you stick around for it, anon? What did they do between sets before GnR took the stage?
1:00am? Anon, that is taking the piss for sure. Did you ask for your money back?
Anon, I love Sam Cooke.
They probably didn't get out of bed until midnight.
RW, the thing to do is go see some local shows. (or maybe you already do). It is like the best music fix for me.
Radiohead played here last night and I didn't go. If I was not going to be near the front (fuck tvs) then there was no reason. I can hear them better on my stereo. Although, I am a little sad that I missed it. :(
I never went to a GNR concert and I'm happy about that...it sucks that they were such dicks to their fans. Not to mention most of the crowd would get pretty wasted and add that to a several hour wait. You're only asking for trouble.
Am I the only one that thinks G-Way's new haircut is very Liza Minelli?
Rob Halford I only know a few songs but I admirer him for eventaully coming out as being gay
RW, the thing to do is go see some local shows. (or maybe you already do). It is like the best music fix for me.
Trouble is, I don't know the local bands at all & there seems to be a lot of crap to wade through before you find anything good, at least in Toronto.
Feels terribly boring. ^_^
*gonna run, hope to be back later*
GnR weren't all jerks. Slash is as down to earth as they come. Shame Axl turned into such a diva.
Judy Garland
I still say Dee Dee Ramone
Not to mention most of the crowd would get pretty wasted and add that to a several hour wait. You're only asking for trouble.
On that topic, I think it's a mistake to serve alcohol at large venues during rock concerts & sporting events. Small clubs are another matter, as I imgaine fights would be easier to deal with when there's less people.
I found a lot of bands on myspaz. If I like their sound, then I went to check them out. Some good, some bad, but all in all a fantastic time.
Sorry to run and this is one of my favorite topics. :(

Yes, it's for you.
i had to leave the GNR show before they came on.
in between Skid Row and GNR i saw girls flashing their boobs, fights, a small fire, a roadie vacuuming the GNR rug on the stage and assholes throwing their cigarettes in peoples hair.
GNR have the worst fucking crowds ever
Myspace, eh? Good idea, Anima :)
Have a good night!
See you later Anima.

I saw GNR in a Georgetown bar before they hit it big, and it was a great concert. Sometimes I think it's better for fans if their favorite bands don't "make it."

I almost wrote later queen. I guess we a lot of Queen fans here.
You could be right, anon.
RW,
you have to post a link to the Gerard pics from backstage at MSG, they are priceless.
Where can I find those, anon?
Shit. How many times do you have to tell a telemarketer not to call or you don't want what they are selling.
RW,
they're on the INO Gerard Way pic thread
I never answer my phone unless I'm expecting a call, MJ. I just let voicemail pick it up.
I never go to INO, anon, I can never find my way around there.
"Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along," Bush said.
Well, no one has been able to persuade BUSH that he has been wrong all along, so....
You know, it just amazes me that he doesn't see that he is USUALLY TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF.
Sorry for leaping in there like that. Carry on. ;D
My grand mother just walked in I had to answer the phone. She doesn't like it when we don't
Goodnight everyone.

tomorrows love always said
for you
my love
my heart
my tomorrows
my always
for us
"The Prophet"
Kahil Gibran
Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.
To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night.
To know the pain of too much tenderness.
To be wounded by your own understanding of love;
And to bleed willingly and joyfully.
To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving;
To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy;
To return home at eventide with gratitude;
And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.
i'll love you
always
For you, my love.
I need you today, tomorrow, and always.
I Need You
I don't need a lot of things,
I can get by with nothing
Of all the blessings life can bring,
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason,
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far
I love you.

what's funny about Gerard's new haircut is on Chris Gutierrez's journal he says "don't blame me kids, it's what he wanted"

He looks cute.
OK so I'm a minority but I do

I like it too. It frames his face nicely. :)

ergo,
did you see the backstage pics. it looks like he cut his hair with a weed whacker.

Does LynZ have bangs?
Maybe he'll be getting ponytails next.
Thanks for the info, anon @ 9:00pm, but to be honest I can't be fussed to look.
But if you want to post the URL here I will make a link for it.
Isn't it a shag haircut, and therefore supposed to look "shaggy?" Some people will crack on the dude about ANYTHING.
SDock, I know you like Johnny Cash, and being from the South, you might like the video I made for Ergo with photos from the south. It's on our blog if you want to check it out.
L.
Gerard and Eliza used to have the same hairstyle, so i wouldn't put it past him to rock some ponytails
He'll have to keep growing it for a bit, but hey, why not ponytails?
Did anyone else do the wrap around the head braids like Princess Leia in "Empire"?
L.
Maybe he put in ponytails and tries on her skirts when she's not home. Just because her misses her SO FUCKING MUCH!!!
hello guys, i am off to bed now but anon, is this the page you were talking about. the one with the of gerards hair? they are at the bottom and it took me ages to actually find the darn thread. madness in there i tell ya.
goodnight everyone sweet dreams.
SS - hope you had a top dy. thank you again and here is a tip. do not walk on the sidewalk when there is a street cleaner going past. it will wet the fuck out of ya. drenched i tell you but heck it was 90*F here so i could of used the cool down. sweet dreams..
night everyone.
why the fuck do i always bugger it up. i hate doing links, urghhh.
nighty night
anon I did but I still don't mind it. It just looks messy.
But I must say the fro is looking in lovely condition in those pics, very nicely ringleted (though the post show pic is a fright!)
*tackles Fimmy*

I had two of those plastic donuty things that you used to form buns around. I wore those on the sides of my head a la Princess Leia.
Blogger is sucking a short skinny veiny smelly greasy hairy pimply one tonight boyz and girlz.
Maybe he put in ponytails and tries on her skirts when she's not home. Just because her misses her SO FUCKING MUCH!!!
LOL!
Well, didn't he say he used to try on his mother's lipstick? I wouldn't put it past him to do a little cross-dressing. He does like the costumes and stuff. Hell, I play dress-up at home too!
this link has more of them it's a must see

Oh, RW, you had the honeybun hair! How did it look?
I had long enough hair to braid and wrap across my head, and even wore it to school like that a few times.
L.
Anon's link
L no i didn't my hair was short by then , but I wanted to!
hi fim! The link works but I think it's something about the close (<)/a(>) of it that does that, but I don't know what I'm sure an anon said it a day or so ago
L emailed you back too
I'm not sure if that worked right, anon.
Re: Fimmy's link to INO pics:
Is it me, or do they look much happier and relaxed in the earlier pics?
Oh, RW, you had the honeybun hair! How did it look?
I think it rocked! I could have been in the minority on that, though ;)
I had long enough hair to braid and wrap across my head, and even wore it to school like that a few times.
Cool! What did people say?
which earlier pics RW?
it sounds weird but i don't think Gerard has been himself since he ended his engagement to Eliza in Europe.
Thanks, Ergo, I e-mailed you back!
RW, it was a hit at school, but there were a lot of Star Wars fans in our class. Our 7th grade class even put on a play of "Empire". I wrote the scripts out, "directed" (let's use that term VERY loosely) and did the casting. It was hilarious, but not on purpose!
The guy playing Boba Fett was REALLY into his character, Darth had a black towel for his cape and a papier-mache mask.
The teachers were VERY amused.
L.
In Fimmy's link at 9:34pm there's a bunch of pics of MCR, some dating back a ways. It just looks to me that in the Revenge era ones they seem much more at ease and sincerely happy than in the Black Parade & recent ones.
Sounds like great fun, L!
During recess at elementary school, a group of friends & I played Space 1999.
Do you think he was replaced by aliens or what?
I DID TOO RW!! Sorry, that made me strangely excited.
Really?? 0_0
I think it is only GW who seems less happy and laid back. Mikey had problems but he seems the same.
Mayor Newsom is on the news talking about the ruling today for gay marriage.
9:57, I think this is just the newest version of himself. He seems to be like whomever he is with at the moment.

Anon, just my two cents, because I don't know the man, but it seemed like the only time he looked happy recently was BETWEEN the last two relationships. But I have no doubt there is more to it than we know. There are demons there that I don't think Gerard knows how to handle.
You have to be happy with and love yourself before you can give happiness and love to another person. No one can do that for you.
As I said, just my opinion, and I still say there is a kind, good soul in him. Despite what he may think.
L.
Gerard and Lyn-Z can now be legally married.
that's great for those two dudes.
actually RW I figured out what you meant while I was over at my emails.
*duh*
They do but they were younger, less stressed, it was probably still new and exciting (and remember they were often drunk)but they do, it would be hard to feel the same way after years of almost non stop touring. I really think they need a rest.
Mayo,
If you were Gerard, you would have commented on what happened at the show in Las Vegas.
Not here to cause trouble. Just sayin'.

I even had an album with the read along comic book like thing. And a crush on Martin Landau.
L YES!!I think there is a lot we may never know, but I do believe he is a very complex and probably still confused soul

This is so wrong. But you know I laughed.
Anyway I think his evil twin from the mirror universe came out and replaced him.

The only problem with that theory is Mayo has never done anything to even try to confirm.
He has denied being Gerard, and I'll take him at his word. I don't believe Gerard Way has the extra time to keep a blog like this.
-A
Forgive me Amyranth, it was simply something I needed to announce for therapeutic reasons, I guess.
truth that was when the guy got on stage wasn't it?
Anon @ 10:07pm:
Maya was the first person I ever idolozed, and I got to play her at school. Two blonde classmates also wanted to be her, but as I had the long reddish-brown hair I won out.
One brunette > two blondes... that doesn't happen very often!
Indeed, Ergo.
Oooh, so what happened at the Las Vegas show then?
Sorry for barging in guys. At least it's not politics this time.
I've been on the damn phone all day with ex co-workers, finding out a heeeellll of a lot about that place and the people still there. O_O
Ergo,
How do you go from being a shunned teenager who kept to yourself to the limelight where people tell you how wonderful you are, but can you do this for me, and how about this, one more photo, one more signature, etc. WITHOUT wondering what happened?
Without falling into traps and trying to fit in and trying to be who you really are at the same time?
When you don't think anyone wants who you might really be?
L.
Oh you already said it. Never mind.
Truth, what happened?
You must have been at the show then?
-A

L, my grad year was 1986 - I thought it would never come! Now it seems like a lifetime ago!
RW, I can't remember who I used to play. :( I usually did the boy parts though. I was always Luke when we played Star Wars.
A, that was the show where an audience member rushed Frank onstage & Gerard put himself between them.
I always played Luke in Star Wars too :)
Oh good Lord, yeah, go ahead, make the face.
My pony was my Tauntaun.
L, that's insanely true of anyone in everyday life. Not just Gerard.
I think that's the part that we frequently forget.
-A
what's crazy is i honestly believe that Eliza really loved/still loves Gerard.
Eliza was after him way before Revenge even came out. i don't think she was using him, like somebody else is that's in his life right now.
i don't know ,i can just tell by the way she was talking about him on Chris Gutierrez show. she seemed like she really cares about him.
At the show, a man wandered onstage, was pulled off and dropped a package of bengay ointment. And I think somebody here once mentioned something about that stuff. I just thought if Mayo was connected, he would have written about it. Anyway. That's all.
RW, wow. I didn't hear about that!
Crazy Shit, he could have had a weapon or something.

Well, she's not over the break-up in any case, that mush is true. It was obvious even back on that "interview" from a few months ago.

Well...what do you say to that?! :)
L.
Truth, nah. If Mayo was Gerard and didn't want us to find out, I doubt he'd do a write up about it. It wouldn't make sense.
Why involve himself with stories of Gerard, if he IS Gerard, and has this blog so he can talk to people on a REAL level instead of "OMG, IT'S GERARD, I LOVE YOUHAVEMYBAYBIESSS!!!one eleventy".
That's my theory.
-A
RW, wow. I didn't hear about that!
Crazy Shit, he could have had a weapon or something.
I know. And security was nowhere to be seen until after Gerard blocked him.
I seem to remember someone saying that Gerard just kept saying "I thought he was going after Frank, I thought he was going after Frank". His heart must have been in his throat.
