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.

HEY DUDES!
5:23, how can you be so sure? How can you know everything that goes on his head?
*TACKLES SDOCK*
Fair and square, you won.
Niiiiiiiiiiice! Do you guys like how I swooped in and stole first place? Do you, huh? Do you?
Fuck yeah, you do.
It's all about the simple things in life really.
Winning and what-not.
The biggest proof on this whole effing blog is that Mayo, at one time, liked me. Gerard Way would hate a gal like me on sight. There's simply no way in hell, if you've been around since the beginning, to believe that this is Gerard's blog.
And the fact that Mayo has told us repeatedly that he isn't him, and in fact seemed surprised when we all started to assume that.
Safe, that didn't even make sense. And was a little too much.

"4:17 anon, I feel the same way at times. Mayo did tell us to imagine any identity we wanted for him so Your guess is as valid as anyone elses.
I imaging him as Lord Lucan.
I've found him, can I claim the reward money?
(1970's murder case for the Americans who have never heard of him)
or Harold Holt

so good morning all I am tired but had a GREAT night out at the comedy they were excellent!
how is everyone?
YAY for Solly!
And the fact that Mayo has told us repeatedly that he isn't him, and in fact seemed surprised when we all started to assume that.

5:25, must have hit a nerve.
Swooping in, then I gotta swoop back out...
This is the kid from 'Make a Wish' that the guys brought on stage.

That is just too cool. :)
And here goes kapunua with her "dummy up" defense...
Anon, Romance is my middle name.
So are we talking about who Mayo is or is not?
Mayo is all of us.
Duh...
5:26 if he can play make believe, so can I
oh my gosh get over yourself.

Anyway, not everyone thinks GW is arrogant and conceited. Both are very subjective terms, after all.
Anons, if you think that Sdock has no life because she, like some of us, plays a game to see who gets first comment, well then what does that say about you lot who spend your time telling her that you think that she has no life because she, like some of us, plays a game to see who gets first comment?

boy, comments are moving fast
missT you heard of David O'Doherty the irish comedien?
Magnitude? Waste time? He writes a few paragraphs once a week. No biggy.
5:41, gotta agree with you.
If I didn't, that would be like me saying we're all wasting our time by being here, and that, my friend, isn't true. :)
Yeah, Mustard, I'm not sure what these anons are getting at.
Identity?
Character Flaws?
Blogging?
BlogBelieve?
People with no lives?
Senses of humor?
I don't think all the anons are getting at any one topic; we're all different people--for the most part.
Anyone seen my sidekick? I have to find it so I can text Emma to stay away from me.
I know I'm getting at the fact that I don't believe Gerard is any more arrogant and conceited than Joe Shmoe up the road, no matter what all the vengeful exes say. ;)
paul why not write a ficticious story instead?
Paul, I think your nameless brother has it. Maybe even your nameless brothers nameless fiancee.
Well, I don't know Gerard, so yeah anon, I will have to agree with you on that one. I don't think he's any more so or less arrogant than the next guy.
We all can act a little cocky from time to time, but that's hardly arrogance. Sometimes it's a way of trying to over compensate for something else.
WHAT?
Yeah, I don't know.
Well, how can I call my nameless brother if he doesn't have a name and I am missing my sidekick?
Damn you, Emma!!
are you sure this is what you want?
homing pigeon?
Haha, well, everyone has faults, even if GW *WAS* extremely arrogant...that's better than being extremely violent and ending up in prison, or being extremely stupid and ending up dead in the middle of a four-lane highway.
Everyone has faults and even if arrogance IS one of GW's, I don't see why that has to be the end of the world. It's definitely not worth all the harassing he's been getting.
But that's just my opinion.
Dude, I am rarely sure of anything.
Just so you know.
Sdock, I agree with you about Gerard. I was about to write something similar. He seems to have many sides to his personality as we all do.
(And, no, I'm not a crazy fangirl. I'm a human concerned about the wellbeing of another human. Whether or not I think he's mighty cute isn't important.)
Paul, maybe one of your nameless band mates took it. What about your nameless dad? Your nameless mum? Somebody in your nameless existance (bar Emma) must have it.
I suppose I could write Emma a real letter. No! That would be too tangible.
Thanks, sdock10.
Yeah, he has many sides, definitely. Too many people idolize him and don't realize that. I think the people who make hateful blogs about him ARE idolizing him, or did in the past and are now disillusioned, because some of the accusations they make are just absurd.
Plus Paul, she might try to stalk you again.
Honey you only wish you were funny in the crack a joke way. Its the patheticness that makes me laugh.
See you later K.
Solly, what's doing you ask?
I have just been booking my train tickets to go see DG this weekend.
She has a new flat to hereslf and I am gonna go with her while she has a tattoo and a new hair do.
Anon @ 5:52,
Yeah, exactly. Gerard is just a fucked up as the rest of us. We're all in this great big hot mess of life together. Some swim in it, some grab the spoons and like to stir it, but still we're all in it together. Sometimes we swop and take turns. I would much rather look at someone and see a side of that person that I can relate to.
The only thing that separates us all from each other is our geography and our circumstances.
We're all the same.
May 12, 2008 5:54 PM, yeah, like the whole "omg he told his fans 'no' and didn't want to pose pretty for a picture like a zoo animal!" ordeal.
What kind of tat, Miss T?
Sdock 10, EXACTLY. Thank you for "getting it."
Laugh at the patheticness. Call me out on it. Keep me on my toes. That's what I love about this place.
MissT,
That sounds like lots of fun. You girls wouldn't be planning on getting into any trouble now,
hmmm???
People are people,with many facets to their personalities, some obvious, some hidden, some they don't even realise they have until circumstances conspire to bring them out. Anyone who idolises another are doomed to disappointment, for they will surely end up acting in a way which doesn't fit the imagination.
Unfortunately the adulation accompanying fame is rarely built on realistic images
HI everyone *waves*
In my opinion Gerard isn't arrogant or conceited. Just wanted to put that out there.
Yes, Sdock gets it. :) Dat is why I ♥ her so.
But I also find that you can surround yourself with too many patters on the backers and "yes" people. People in the spotlight have to be careful of that because it can be hard to tell who your real friends are from the people who are just blood sucking leeches.
We all need people in our lives that keep us grounded and our behaviors in check because we all have a tendency to wander and stray from time to time.
Hey, Lucy!
Right, Ergoproxy, and all the people with the hateful blogs are, in my opinion, just disappointed people who once thought (and were mistaken) that Gerard was perfect. I don't care if they're his exes, his ex-best-friends, his teachers, his followers, his haters, his bus drivers. To me, they're all just disillusioned people.
Hi Lucy!
*waves to Lucy*
Hi!
And I ♥ you too, Mustard!
Mwah! Mwah!
Anons,
I am loving talking to you today!! This is so much fun.
Aw..what a lovely welcome. Thanks you guys! *hugs*
Hi LL sweetie. How are you?
Solly, trouble? always.
Tattoo, something to commemorate her dad.
Exactly, Sdock10, and I hope Gerard has people around who will just be honest with him. I hope his band is.
I would be, 'cept I've never met him and never will be able to because he's probably afraid I'll be another nutter like in those awful "airport videos." Plus, I'm just a stranger. Ah, well.
Well, also, in defense of some of these bloggers, it was an attempt to show concern for the state of the band/music as well.
That's where personal and impersonal had to be seperated.
Hello everybody
Maybe GW is getting so much shit because he pretended to be a nice person and it turned out he wasn't.
As far as having many side of your personality yes that is true but it is another thing to lie about who you are to get people to like you.
In the end you should just be yourself because after a while it will come out.
"Tattoo, something to commemorate her dad."
How cute and sentimental.
It is one thing to have an opinion about someone or be concerned. It's something totally different to just be hurtful, hateful, mean, and spiteful.
Does writing like that about anyone really help the situation?
No, I do not think so.
"Hello everybody

Problem is, nobody's nice all the time. If you use that logic, NOBODY is a nice person, because EVERYONE has the capacity to be mean and cranky and even cruel.
That doesn't mean you can't try to come across as a nice person, or try to be nice as much as you possibly can.
It's not fair to say he was being nice because he was lying. I think he is/was doing what most decent humans beings are trying to do--trying to be a good person.
There is nothing wrong with trying.
My last comment was in reference to Verita Venom's blog. I don't know of any other blogs talking about Gerard, you know, other than Buzznet and INO, both of which I completely overlook.
Hiya MJ, how are you?
Oh, so I guess everyone who isn't perfectly nice should just get it over with and start being mean and killing puppies, right? Since they shouldn't even try because they'd be "lying to everyone"?
I am eating a praline and reading.

Why is it that people like you always think that people who don't like the way a person is acting think that that person was perfect.
Never once have I or anyone else who has said that we don't like the way he acts now said he was perfect.
No one is perfect. I liked the fucked up version of him. When he first stopped drink and doing drugs.
What I hate is when people change who they are to fit in with who they think are cool.

Totally read that as Fresh Prince Flank Video.
I was like WHAT?
And then I was like Ooooh!
missT you heard of David O'Doherty the irish comedien?
Not heard of him Ergo. Sorry.
I've been conceited. I've been mean. I've been arrogant. I've been kind. I've been cruel. I've been loving. I've been humble. I've been compassionate. I've been angry. I've been happy. I've been loyal. I've backstabbed.
I'm human.
Extend the same grace to Gerard. He isn't a god.
Well, for example to overcompensate for shyness, you might wear shades so you don't have to look people in the eye, you might not talk, you might let someone else do the talking, you might retreat back to your hotel room....
See....
Now, doesn't that look arrogant??
Incidentally, sometimes I find myself waking up "on the wrong side of the bed"...I am not fun to be around on those days.
Other days, I have all the patience in the world and I am the nicest motherfucker in the world.
"Why is it that people like you always think that people who don't like the way a person is acting think that that person was perfect.

You don't have a "hateful blog" like I mentioned, now, do you?
I'm very well, Miss T? Hows you?
It's lively in here tonight. Just like old times.
I think Frank was just pretending to be nice, Turns out he isn't as nice as we thought.
Anyone can say anything about someone. It is absurd to say things like that about someone you really don't know.
When did I say he wasn't human.
I don't like how he's acting sometimes. I don't appreciate the "go fuck yourselves" fiasco at all.
But that doesn't mean I condone people being all-out nasty and making accusations and websites.
Mustard, Smoke, Sdock, MJ, Safe, Miss T, Anon eating pralines,
Mmmm, pralines! I had the best pralines EVER in New Orleans. I should have bought pounds of them to bring back home.
Right now, I'm cooking homemade ravioli!
I'm off for a while back later
I'm good thanks LL.
yeah, it's better than TV tonight.
I wasn't necessarily talking to you, MJ. When I say "you," unless I'm quoting someone, it's usually the "general you."
Lucy Lu, I missed saying hello to you! Hi!
Knee jerk reaction said...
I think Frank was just pretending to be nice, Turns out he isn't as nice as we thought.
Do you have an example?
I'm human.
Extend the same grace to Gerard. He isn't a god.
Amen.
Well, for example to overcompensate for shyness...
Yes, absolutely. People must think I'm such a mean thoughtless person, honestly. My shoes are my best friend.
Incidentally, sometimes I find myself waking up "on the wrong side of the bed"...I am not fun to be around on those days.
Other days, I have all the patience in the world and I am the nicest motherfucker in the world.
Yes, absolutely.
See you later Ergo.
Hiya Star, how are you sweetie?

Never once have I or anyone else who has said that we don't like the way he acts now said he was perfect.
No one is perfect. I liked the fucked up version of him. When he first stopped drink and doing drugs.
What I hate is when people change who they are to fit in with who they think are cool.

You don't have a "hateful blog" like I mentioned, now, do you?
May 12, 2008 6:14 PM
But I have comment on them and I do share the same opinions as one of the people that is said to have a "hateful blog".
I am just getting sick of the if you don't feel sorry for him or if you think he is an asshole than you are an evil person.
Hi Star!
Bye Ergo!
"I think Frank was just pretending to be nice, Turns out he isn't as nice as we thought."
I'm sorry, but "nice" is a very subjective statement. Some people think Mother Teresa was nice. Some people don't.
OOh Star, home made ravioli! NOM NOM NOM
Hello, Star!
See you later, Ergo!
"I am just getting sick of the if you don't feel sorry for him or if you think he is an asshole than you are an evil person."
And I'm getting rather sick of the generalizations. I never said you were an evil person. You're entitled to your opinions, even if the world strongly disagrees.
I'm allowed to think the sky is violet with pink stripes if I fancy it.
Hi Star!
how are ya?
Wow, this is nice in here today! I am loving all the topics of conversation.
Now, I must go fee my doggies. Be back in a bit.
I'm good, Miss T!
How are you?
Yeah Star, it's an Aunt Sally's...delicious!
I am walking in oblivion. It is fantastic.
I'm good thanks too star.
I am extremely shy when I first meet people, but once I get to know them and I feel comfortable you can't shut me up!
Almost everyone I have ever made friends with has told me that when they first met me I came across as aloof and seemed to distance myself from other people.

Groovy, anon!
I was trying to remember the name of that place, but all I could conjure up was the smell! Heavenly!
I've been told by people that when I first meet them I seem really arrogant but it's down to shyness.
I've been conceited. I've been mean. I've been arrogant. I've been kind. I've been cruel. I've been loving. I've been humble. I've been compassionate. I've been angry. I've been happy. I've been loyal. I've backstabbed.
I'm human.
Extend the same grace to Gerard. He isn't a god.

You are saying a lot of the things that have been said to me about my opinion of GW. I have been called a hater, jealous and many other things because I don't condone his behavior.
So if you say those things I take them as being said to me because of the fact that I share the same opinion.
You call it a hate blog. When it is someone expressing there opinion on what they see happening.
I'm sorry you're taking it that way, MJ, but please understand it isn't my fault.
I do have one question, and be honest. Have you spent more than one week with GW, or have you come to your opinion by listening to other people and reading things?
Agreed, 6:24 Anon, and thank you.
did anyone see Eliza's new blog on her myspace, the title says "Man Boobs and Stretch Marks", you know that's a shot at Gerard.
"did anyone see Eliza's new blog on her myspace, the title says "Man Boobs and Stretch Marks", you know that's a shot at Gerard."
That's a freaking cruel thing to say about ANYONE. What an ass.
No I have not spent time with him. But I have spent time with people who had drug problem and mental illness.
I have had friends that where good people who turn into assholes because they dated an asshole.
So I get my opinion from what I have experienced first hand in my life.
I really have no opinion about Gerard's behavior. He sings really well, and writes great lyrics. If I met him and he screamed at me or something, or kicked me, then I'd have an opinion.
Until then, I reserve judgment because I don't know him.
Well, MJ, let's hope GW turns out differently from the people you've had experience with.
Lucy, $22.86, that's how much, muhahahah!
I'm back. What have I missed?
*runs back in Mayo's*
Frank has a halo for goodness sakes. Am I the only one who sees it? ^_~
Bwah!
I don't like some of the stuff that Gerard has said in the past but I try my best not to judge. I have no idea how I'd react if I was in his shoes.
Some handle the pressures well like Frank.
Some don't, like Gerard.
Some people are comfortable talking to strangers and being open.
Some aren't.
Not sure why I'm comparing the two but anyhoo....
Oh and Eliza? WTF? Seriously. O_O
Gotta go!
*runs by Mustard and pops her on the back of the head*
*runs out and slams the door*
As if....I could write a blog title Googly Eyes and Fucked Up Hair.

Is that pixie dust?
*sticks out tongue*
Nah...
Wait...
Yeah, I think it is.
Nice.
Diane, give Mr Way a pat on the back for that.
He constantly shouts his endorsements for her. They merely follow.
Ain't that the cotton-pickin' truth.
Hi RW,
How goes it in Canada?
People have certain personality types that they fit into. If you know those personality types you can pretty much figure how what kind of person they are.
As far as judging we judge people every day on less than what I am look at with GW.
Anon the only one of the people who changed for the better was my friend and that was after she dumped the asshole.
BRB
Raviolis!
It's not cool to pick on anyone's physical appearance.
Anyone ever had marshmallows rolled in chocolate and pecans?
It is positively delish!
Mustard, yeah, especially when the person you're picking on is extremely self-conscious about whatever you're pointing out.
Yep, it just isn't cool.
Taking below the belt shots at someone's appearance, no matter who they are, it's not right.
RW, hiya!
How are you?
Are you in or out smoke? You are making me dizzy.
Veritavenom's judge GW blog

damn shame people don't walk the walk
VV is a ton of fun.
Being sarcastic, of course.
Almost every accusation she makes is totally insane.
Isn't Verita Venom the one who was posting all over MCR sites complaining about Gerard telling the crazy fangirls "no" at the airport when they were harassing him for a picture?

But that's why the person does it. They know what will hurt the most so that's what they go for. IT's sad and makes you wonder how they can feel good doing that to someone else.
I couldn't agree more. Making fun of people's insecurities about their physical appearance is cruel.
She is showing her true colours now.

Anon if you don't like what she has to say them why not start your own blog. And most of us here (not all) know and support VV.
Indeed. I hope Gerard doesn't see that.
He probably will, but I hope he doesn't anyway.
Hi Elena, how are you today?
Because I don't want my own blog. I'm perfectly content posting here.
Wait, which Anon were you talking to?
Where's Eliza's MySpace?
Hi Solly :) Canada is not very sunny today :(
Hi, Miss T :) How's things?

If GW didn't want to deal with the crazy fan girls than he should have been out in the public part of the airport. He could have made arrangement so that he would have never even seen them.
I'm sure after such a long flight, he was exhausted, looked and felt like shit and probably just wanted to get out of the damn airport so he could smoke a cigarette.
Wasn't this the place where a local radio station announced their flight details on air which is why hundreds of fans turned up? The band wouldn't have been expecting this and would have been ill-prepared security wise to deal with it.
RW,
I will send you some sunshine! It was very windy here today, but such a beautiful day. A shame that I had to spend it indoors.
Anons,
I am ♥ing you all today! We haven't had such a lively discussion in quite some time!
Things is good RW.
Hey MissT
Good to see you.....
Martha did you watch the video of the airport incident?
I didn't say you couldn't post here. But if you have that much of a problem with VV and what she is saying than maybe you should start you own blog to counter her.

"If GW didn't want to deal with the crazy fan girls than he should have been out in the public part of the airport. He could have made arrangement so that he would have never even seen them."
What's your point, exactly? I'm not sure what you're trying to say.
Even so, maybe he didn't want to make arrangements and hoped the fans he'd run into would be the nice kind who'd just say "hi, thank you" and leave.
Okay, well I am definitely not going to judge someone on how they handle themselves in front on a couple hundred or thousand screaming mostly 15 year old girls.
Have you seen some of those girls? They scare me. Nothing and no one gets in the way of them and their UNCLE JIGGY!
It makes me feel uncomfortable.
I have no intentions of getting into a Blog War with VV. No time, and that sounds like hell.
May 12, 2008 6:56 PM Anon, thanks for the link.
Yeah, I agree with Lucy on the "Can I have a picture," incedent.
Yes, at first listen one could hear the frustration in his voice, but had that been me, I would have been frustrated, too. Like we all said, he is human.
Hello Elena yes I did.
Fames people all the time make arrangements to avoid fans. So to me they are both at fault. The girls were crazy but if he didn't want to deal with them there are ways to get around having to see them.
I'm not sure that's really her. How do you know?
I watched a young girl chase after the bus in Birmingham. A few of us gasped in horror because we thought she might get mowed down. It's surreal.
And yes, I know that he is a big famous rockstar and should be prepared to handle shit like that, but....
Can you prepare yourself that kind of insanity? I don't know.
It's her.
"Fames people all the time make arrangements to avoid fans. So to me they are both at fault. The girls were crazy but if he didn't want to deal with them there are ways to get around having to see them."
As I said, maybe he didn't know he'd have to deal with anyone like that. Almost every video I've seen of fans meeting him as gone very well and ended very well, and he looks happy to have met them.
If he'd known that would've happened, maybe he would have made arrangements.
*waves to Elena*
Hi!
"It's her.
May 12, 2008 6:59 PM"
But how do you know? :/
I'm sure after such a long flight, he was exhausted, looked and felt like shit and probably just wanted to get out of the damn airport so he could smoke a cigarette.
For all the criticisms I have about G-Way, I can't get after the guy for the way he deals with the public. Even in his worst moments, he's a hell of a lot better at it than I ever would be. And as was mentioned, screaming teenies can be scary as hell. Anyone who's ever been in the pit can, I'm sure attest to that.
Wasn't this the place where a local radio station announced their flight details on air which is why hundreds of fans turned up? The band wouldn't have been expecting this and would have been ill-prepared security wise to deal with it.
I think that was in Vietnam. The "airport incident" with Gerard & the girls happened, I believe, in Chile.
Back from my ravioli!
Hello, Elena, Anon, Sdock, Mustard, Anon, MJ, anybody I missed.
o really? have you and kapu deleted your comments supporting venom's views already?
And also, to have avoided the fans, there would have to have been prior arrangements made with the airport.
I mean, one could go so far as to say if the band had their own private jet, they could have avoided the frenzy, you know?
But they don't, and I would assume they are trying to remain as "normal" as they can while traveling around. You can't dodge an airport terminal when you have to board a plane.
"I think that was in Vietnam. The "airport incident" with Gerard & the girls happened, I believe, in Chile."
Oh, man, that was horrible. I saw the video.
I agree he looked very tired and yeah, probably just wanted a smoke. He was being hounded. I can't imagine what that would be like. He didn't go out of his way to be rude. Those girls, bless their young little hearts, were being rude. I'm sure they were excited about seeing him but they need to understand he's just a guy and in this case a very tired guy.
anon 6:58
it's Eliza's myspace, she said it was on that interview she did with Chris Gutierrez.
What I am saying is if he didn't want to deal with the fans and being asked to take pictures he could have gone through the private part of the airport.
And it was only a hand full of people not a thousand. Think about it this way what if one of those girls had gotten hurt. The press would have had a field day making him into an asshole. So in the long run his security should have taken him out of that situation before it happened.
They should have asked him if he wanted to deal with the fans that day. Because it looked like he didn't.
RW,
I will send you some sunshine! It was very windy here today, but such a beautiful day. A shame that I had to spend it indoors.
Aw, thank you, Solly! :)
By the way, I gotchoo a Bad Kitty pendant to go with your t-shirt. It is painted on the back of a domino piece.
S&V, if you're around, I gotchoo a grey newsboy cap.
And I got some sparkly horn decorations for Leebert. Can't have him fading into the background, can we!
Mustard, yeah, I think he's just trying to stay as normal as possible. If he ever gets to the point where he has to start taking big steps to avoid fans, I have a feeling he'd throw in the hat and say goodbye to MCR.
MJ, how would one of the girls get hurt? They were just running around in circles with cameras...
and why should you have to?
If he took that stance he would completely cut himself off from all fans, including the sane ones that just want to meet him, share a few words, maybe an autograph or photo and shake his hand. Then he really would be accused of being arrogant etc. By not making arrangements to avoid the fans completely, he is trusting them not to go batshit insane on him, and sometimes that trust is misplaced a la the airport incident. I really do feel fans behaving that way spoil it for other fans who want to meet the band.
*waves at Star and Sdock*
Hi guys. Good to see you.
Night all!
He didn't go out of his way to be rude. Those girls, bless their young little hearts, were being rude. I'm sure they were excited about seeing him but they need to understand he's just a guy and in this case a very tired guy.
It's a real shame that happened, not only for Gerard but also for the girls. They were probably crushed. I'm sure they meant no harm, as I'm sure Gerard also meant no harm. It was unfortunate timing, and a lack of the ability to read the situation enough to know when to back off.
At this point in time I cannot people that he wouldn't know that fans would go crazy when they saw him.
Right on, Lucy Lu.
Now, if I happen to see them/Gerard and say "Wait! I want to talk to you!"...I probably won't get to.
Sure, I'd love a hug, but I'm a quiet, calm person who just wants to say "thanks." And all the screamers are making it really difficult to do that.
Yeah, the airport incident was an odd situation. I've flip-flopped back and forth on it myself. It was what it was, and I guess that's all that can be said now. :)
Goodbye, Safe!
