An obscene waste.

Honorable Mention.

I am the clown.
Because you asked me to
and I am colorful enough, so
I quickly make the change.
It’s an easy switch in contrast.
Then, you are off and running.
Up and down the row
I am chasing you and I am out of breath.
You are elusive, but you see
I am the clown.
And I will use a trick to catch you.
I must catch you, because I have to tell you
I am not a fool. But, I have failed.

The pulsing lights drawing on
Death and destruction flash above
And beyond you. The images are mostly grave
Punched in and out in perfect time.
They were too many and too long, but
I had to remain until the end.
I knew they would tell the story.
Then, the images stop.
I achieve execution in a flash of bright white
Then perception returns to me, the clown,
Looking at you down the row.
I can’t move but to say the end.
But, I forgot the most important part.

Then, you are gone.
For a moment, I am frantic to find you.
But, I also don’t want to lose my character.
It is of every color and
Can give me up a reckless fool.
While I pretend to know the rest,
I search for my friend.
His name is random, and
He was sitting next to me.
Before you came along…
And as I am just about to take my leave
You appear again, but now
You are the clown.

And you want to tell me that
I am just a fool.



p.s. strung out on pointless prevarication and cardboard collusion.

I hope you are right. I want to believe that what they stood for in the beginning was real. But the way it was just thrown aside makes me think it was all a lie.

Personally, I'm able to believe this more than anything.

I do believe there was a positive message, and I do believe that it was capable of doing a lot of great things.

I don't believe Warner/Reprise came to them and said, "Look, here's what we need you to do. We need you to tell everybody you're good people, and you don't want your fans to commit suicide, and if they feel like fuck-ups, it's okay, that you guys feel like that, too." I know that's very, very general, but you get my point.

There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, and maybe that's what it ended up being.

But, I don't think it was totally a marketing strategy, no.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Yes it was meek compared what others have done. But I still think it is something or it was.

i think there was always so much more than just a rock band with MCR but i do think gerard has grown jaded with it all. to be honest i don't blame him! i grow jaded with my life. repetition is boring! so i do see how gerard could have got just fucking worn down!! i think he is worn down. it happens to all bands that ever had a message. they get worn down because people want so much from them because they have bothered to mean something more!

My Chemical Romance is as polarizing and uncompromising as a modern band can be. But no critic can question their desire to use their fame to perform good works. The band granted its first wish for the Make-A-Wish Foundation® in 2005. In just a few years, My Chemical Romance has welcomed eight teens with life-threatening medical conditions for amazing wishes, earning the band recognition in the Foundation’s Celebrity Hall of Fame.

Wish kids from around the nation have seen the gracious side of My Chemical Romance – they’ve enjoyed hours backstage playing video games, hung out on the band’s tour bus and enjoyed seats that aren’t for sale: backstage and even with the sound crew. Some have gone home with autographed guitars, while others have been able to try on the band’s stage outfits. Singer Gerard Way also makes a habit of dedicating tunes to wish kids and directing the lighting crew to putting the spotlight on them during shows.

In 2007, the Make-A-Wish Foundation honored My Chemical Romance with a Chris Greicius Celebrity Award for doing so much to grant seriously ill kids’ heartfelt wishes. The band always makes sure wish kids have the best seats in the house – even when that means sitting on stage!

Each wish to meet My Chemical Romance has sent a courageous kid home with amazing memories, one-of-a-kind souvenirs and the reassurance that there are people who truly care.

I don't have any idea. I don't know why the message was left behind, and I don't imagine I'll ever know. I guess at this point, it is what it is.

But again, what positive message and why should Gerard be worn out? What did he do?
Oh yes, those hundreds of charity concerts they gave and all the other charity work. It just got too much!

Sorry, that I'm being so sarcastic but I don't believe anything anymore.

Except that it was a very clever marketing strategy.

Gerard should have married Eliza, we all know she wouldn't have had a problem being called Mrs Way

Anonymous said...

Wow. She's doing this for women and little girls? She's actually saying that "Five Year Old Panty Shot" and the rest of their derogatory and hateful lyrics were for the benefit of women and little girls?

It's the lack of logic that kills me the most.

Re: MCR's "message": Well, I bought it like a total sucker. However, look at Skeleton Crew. They do a huge amount of actual work for good causes. Ans as Frank is a part of MCR, I have to imagine that the "message" meant something to him, and likely still does mean something. MCR isn't just Gerard, although it's seemed like that since around July. (Well, the Gerard and Lindsey show, anyway.) There are other guys in the band, and perhaps with them it wasn't just lip service. How could it be? S//C are activists, they put their money where their mouth is.

MSI, doing this "for women and little girls?" WTF is this, the "Degradation For Feminism" cause that I somehow missed out on? That's the sound of one person's mouth writing checks that her ass can't cash, that's for damn sure.

MCR designed a shirt for this.

H&M and Designers Against AIDS (DAA) are joining forces in the battle against AIDS and are launching a collection for guys and girls together with Rihanna, Timbaland and other well-known designers, musicians and artists. The aim is to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS, which affects many young people all over the world. The collection “Fashion Against AIDS” will be available in H&M’s Divided departments from February 2008.

The artists participate free of charge and when you buy a Fashion Against AIDS item, 25% of the sales price is donated to HIV/AIDS prevention projects around the world. This will be coordinated by Designers Against AIDS and YouthAIDS®.

Anyways, hey everyone! Hey Verita, it's good to see you around, lady. ^_^

I just came back from picking up another starling. This one is a beastly, angry little fledgling of a one, with a bum leg. I like him very much, he's adoreeeeble. I got him from my wonderful best friend Kim at another hospital.

Today was awesome because I spent all morning on the phone with another dancer out here who wants to sort of merge our two groups. Not artistically but more for business. Her group is wildly successful and she makes, well, a lot of money. She knows me very well, we've studied with a lot of the same people and have many of the same friends. She also has permission to teach Hula. It was funny, she asked me, "Now, I know you don't do the coconut bra, wiggle wiggle thing..." and I said, "You're damn right I don't," and she was like, "Uh huh, that's the Jules I know." ^_^ She's this adorable little Filipino lady with incredibly long hair. She's been dancing professionally for about twelve years.

Anyway it's a tremendous opportunity and I've already got two shows!

Then I also got a long-awaited phone call from a very distant (geographically) very close (emotionally) best friend of mine. She's had some health worries, but she sounded awesome and upbeat in the message she left.

Lately I feel like I'm surrounded by the most honestly BEST friends I've ever had. ^_^

Additionally, after some time away from the music and away from discussions about the band, I do think it's still possible to earn back the trust (I'm not sure that's the best word though) and appreciation of the message.

I do think we saw a large turnaround this past tour in the things said onstage, the way the band was presented. I saw that, not sure about anyone else, but I did. And above that, I appreciate, as a fan, being given the chance to actually say that again.

Like I said before, I don't think it will be the same as before, with the message, I mean, but I think it's something to strive for. I don't think it should be one of those "Fuck it" type things.

i think MSI and the PR tour had a huge influence on Gerard. that's when his doucheness really started.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hello S&V

Anon but it was still LP that decided who would be on that tour. And with msi I would hope that they had at least seen one of their shows. I mean they are known for doing things that are kind of out there. So LP brought it on themselves.

So I find what they are saying now to be a bit low. I was happy to know that they weren't happy with what happened.

True story: i don't know any TBS songs

Anonymous said...

What I'm about to say is being said out of ignorance.

In defense of Linkin Park's decision to have both MCR and MSI on the bill, I personally don't know how Chester or Mike, or whoever did the choosing for the lineup, could have known the outcome of PR.

I find MCR a serious, musically driven band, but that's just my opinion. MSI is a musical catastropy. I have no respect for them and I don't take them seriously, and I never will.

Also, MCR is a huge band with a huge fanbase. I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I wouldn't have gone to PR to see Linkin Park even though they headlined the thing! Maybe there is jealousy over the not so factual fact (because I don't know for sure) that MCR produced more positive set reviews or more positive press than LP did. I don't know.

But, if they're choosing to take a more, as you say, "serious" route this year, how will they know? See what I'm saying? That doesn't make sense to me.

I don't think MCR upstaged Linkin Park at PR at all last year. Yeah, MCR had tons of pyro (in 100 degree heat, no less) and their fans were screaming so loud you could barely hear Gerard's bad vocals. But thankfully, most of the teenies left after their set. Linkin Park came on and played their hearts out. Mike and Chester interacted with the crowd and seemed so genuinely happy to be there, unlike Gerard who didn't interact with anyone.

Besides, with Linkin Park's record sales, I doubt they're likely to feel upstaged by a band like MCR.

Still, IMO, the best act at PR was TBS. No pyro, no elaborate stage show. Just Adam and the boys having a blast onstage as only they can.

It is tragic but they are both adults (physically) and they made their decision. Gerard choose to lie about being sober instead of really being sober. In his mind that's all that counts, as long as people THINK he is telling the truth he must be. He is.... pathological. And LynZ is pretty much what people think she is, a drugged out skank with little to no brains.

VV, I read this comment on your blog and I find it sad how true it is,

Yeah, Stafoo has been pretty dead recently and I'll tell you why. In the beginning, the fans were just trying to take the piss out of Gerard and it was funny. But for the past year and a half or so, what with the Eliza mess (are they or aren't they?), the RING, the ridiculous public break up/tantrum (I'm gonna wash that man right outta my hair - WTF?), Projekt Revolution, the sharpies and the marks of love, the one month courtship (six weeks, whatever) with Lindsey, the backstage marriage, the taking MSI on tour, the telling little girls to fuck themselves and "moan for me"... well, let's just say that Gerard has become such a joke in and of himself there's no need to make fun of him anymore.

According to a review I read before the sharpie shit. MCR was upstaging LP.

Yes Mrs. GW should know that this is what was going to happen. It happen to all of tom Cruise's wives. And to Jade pinkett smith and they were know before they got with their husbands.

Mib I think that is just LP's way of trying to hurt MCR. I am sure some LP fans didn't like the fact that MCR and the other "emo" bands were on the line up. I also think a lot of people were shocked that LP would give msi a spot.

Depends on the review you read, MJ, and also which show you went to.

I could link you to dozens of reviews that go on about how "amazing" MSI is in concert. I've also read a bunch of 5 star reviews of their new CD If, but I somehow doubt it's going to be giving Minutes to Midnight any competition in the record sales department, though.

Plus add to that the fact his band is far better known and had a band of ready to accept teeny fans who go to their concerts to see GW mate than to enjoy the music and the hype they temselves have created and that's what you get.

Again, in my opinion, MCR totally upstaged LP on that tour. Almost every review I read stated over and over how MCR stole the show.

But again, I'm not a huge LP fan. I just don't get the whole "it's going to be more serious this time around". WTF? Why?

I have to agree that TBS played their asses off. That's what made me fall in love with that band.

MCR is just a great live band though. End of story.

And to be fair, I didn't even get to see LP! Hahaha! It was lightening and shit and they wanted the people on the lawn to go to their cars and ummm, that wasn't about to happen. So it was over an hour after MCR left the stage that LP decided to come on and play.

So we left. I felt kind of bad for having to leave but really in truly, I wasn't that sad about it.
So what's my effin' point? I have no idea.

Anonymous said...

Yes, like I said before, it all depends on which reviews you read and what city you're in. People who are fans of MCR are more likely to be exposed to journalists (online sites, magazines, whatever) that cater to their musical tastes. Also, the demographic changes depending on the city you're in. At the PR I went to, there were a lot of guys heckling MCR and telling them to get off the stage so they could see Linkin Park.

I went for TBS, but I came away with a whole new respect for LP. They put on an awesome show.

There is a particle that is (wrongly, I suspect,)* called "the god particle) and once the new CERN particle collider is running (soon) physicists believe they are sure to find it, to pin it down.

But even when they find it and tackle it and ask its name and make it dance, they're still going to be none the wiser. That's the thing about physics when you get down to the quantum level: the answers only chase themselves back to more questions. That's what I love about it.

Shut up, Martha. STFU.

^_~

Seriously, I'm gonna need a valium now.

Holy shit, you're kidding?

Better not tinker around with that little red button, eh!?

Gonna go scope it out.

Hey Star, Jules, Smoke, Sdock, MJ, Anons, Mayo, SS, Mayo's pet Turtle.

Heya!

Anonymous said...

Rahaha, Mustard, it was very funny!
Now I must listen to it!

Hi, by the way! I missed you and MJ!

Smoke said...

Hey Star!

Mustard,

I was thinking the same thing about Muse. :)

Anonymous said...

Hey Star!

Hey Splash.


We're on Earth. Earth is in a solar system which is part of the Universe. But, where the hell is the Universe? Like, where does it end and begin, and is it a part of something?


You sound like you're leaning towards what is called "Null Physics." That goes like this:

Null Physics is derived from the concept that our entire universe is the internal structure of nothingness. In other words, physical reality is an intricate, four-dimensional geometric equation that adds to zero because it exists within zero. There is no beginning or end to our universe because there is no beginning or end to nothingness. Reality is composed of space and curvatures of space (energy), both of which are composed of geometric points, which are the physical representation of nothingness. In short, there is no difference between a universe whose sum is zero and a universe that exists as a formulation of zero.

Now how mindblowing is that?!

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Lol MIB. I think they said if it comes in contact with another super massive black hole.

sdock10 said...

I get Valium and Vicodin confused.

Just sayin....

And Mustard, I thought Muse as well.

Just sayin...

But then again, maybe that was your thought in my head or my thought in your head.

What?

Yeah, ignore me. I speak nonsense.

Anonymous said...

I think because I don't have a scientific brain, a lot of stuff freaks me out. Like if I start thinking about how the universe started, I feel anxious. That's why I read poems, and let the scientists sort everything out.

Smoke said...

Internal Structure of Nothingness

Sounds like a cool name for a song or an album....

Hmmm. How about that?

Anonymous said...

So, basically, we're in a big cloud of nothing?

How is that even possible? It doesn't begin, and it doesn't end, but it's there.

*computer voice*

Cannot compute.



Glad you guys liked that one! I'll be here all night!

Smoke said...

Sdock,

Your nonsense is funny and makes me LOL.

Ha. Ha. Ha. ^_~


Me, too, Star. I can't think about it for too damn long or as I said earlier, I'll need a valium.

O_o

Anonymous said...

I do too, Star, because I have a love/hate relationship with Not Knowing.

This is why I write poems about science. That and because I'm wordy, but not very mathy. ;)

For anyone who might not know this (though I can't imagine anyone not realizing it by now) I'm "weaver girl" and always have been. ^_^

I totally hear you. I like to think about it because it forces me to use the opposite side of by head, but I get frustrated because I can't fathom things that are obviously unfathomable. Like you said, it makes me anxious.

Smoke said...

Martha?

I didn't really mean for you to STFU. ^_~

Anonymous said...

Sdock,

I forgot to tell you, but, uh, we share a brain.

Scary, I know. O_O

Anonymous said...

That's how I feel, Splash. It's like trying to picture the Calabi-Yau space, which is twelve dimensions. Now how the motherloving hell am I supposed to imagine twelve dimensions, when I have a hard time keeping in decent touch with the freaking fourth already? O_o

That's why I wish to believe in souls, or some kind of sentience after life. Because since that stuff can't fit into mortal brains, I'm hoping that once I'm out of this limited consciousness (although not anytime soon, thanks very much!) whatever is left over of me will be able to understand it.

6:38, you seemed nice, are you still about?

You know what freaks me out the most?

Sound

If I sit around and think about voices/music being recorded, and the even the concept of the telephone, I can easily wig out.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Lol I was looking up super massive black holes. Did you know that some galaxies have two. I knew that two galaxies could combine and have a really huge one but I didn't know one could have two.

TOTALLY AGREE!

Oh, don't get me started about all the stuff that freaks me out.

Space
Water
Suffocating
Spiders

*passes out from thinking about all this scary shit*

Anonymous said...

O_O

Star, me too! That's crazy.

Frequencies intimidate me, just sayin'. But, it's so cool to just sit and watch someone lay down a track or a line of music or something and watch them manipulate it, stretch it, move it, and all kinds of crazy stuff.

And to think all we hear is a bunch of frequencies moving in time with one another. Crazy.

That's right MJ. In fact in the star cluster Abell 400, two supermassive black holes are moving closer together, and pretty soon, BAM!*
















*That's putting it mildly, I suspect.

Smoke said...

Ooooh, and even though it was a stupid movie did you guys see White Noise?

Gah! That is some freaky shit. Now I listen for voices when I hear static.

I would seriously die if someone said, "Smooookkeee....help me!!!"

Smoke said...

Hi RW! What did you buy me today?

Anonymous said...

Smoke,
The things you listed are really scary, though.

Explain my inexplicable horror at seeing a blimp.
A freakin blimp.
If I am driving and I see it, I almost have to pull over.
It has no logical explanation, and that is what bothers me the most.

Super-supermassive black hole.

With that, I'm gonna take my doggies out for a bit. See you guys in a few!

Smoke said...

A blimp?

God, I'd never get in one. I mean, seeing the Hindenburgh or watching them light one up on Mythbusters...hell no.

Just hell no.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hello RW.

Kapu I would love to see that happen.

Smoke said...

I am so scared of spiders. Like deathly afraid. I know I've said this a billion times but OMG.

I do not like them at all.

This morning I thought I saw something crawling out of the corner of my eye and it was just the reflections of the trees on my metal cd case.

O_O

I jerked the wheel so hard, I swear, I almost wrecked.

I need therapy.

Anonymous said...

I can honestly say I don't have an irrational fear of much.

I am claustrophobic, but not beyond belief. I just don't enjoy being in confined spaces with other humans. :/

And bugs creep me out a little. 'Specially the buzzing sounds most all of them produce.

Wasps are forever on my shit list.

36", plasma screen size spiders (I will ♥ that interview forever) = DNW, but I'm not arachnophobic.


See, Star? You aren't alone. :)

I'm like that with things that BUZZ. Bees, wasps, hornets, flies, eeeyeh!!

I tend to scream and take off running in the opposite direction, so when it happens in a public place, it becomes as funny as you think it is :P

Smoke said...

"We now know that they are coupled, but more like the mating of black widow spiders. One of the black holes invariably will eat the other."

Oh, nice. Two fuckin' fears in one.

*passes out again*

Martha Smith-Jones said...

I don't like blimps or spiders either. I hate the sound a blimp makes. I always think it is coming after me.

Anonymous said...

Smoke,
My husband is the same way.

Martha Smith-Jones said...

Hello Amy.

Mib I think most people would run if they saw a 36", plasma screen size spiders. I think I would have to leave the planet.

Smoke said...

Oh! And frogs. I don't like frogs.

My husband once chased me through the house with one and I locked myself in the bathroom. Well, he just slip the meffin' frog under the door.

>.<

I am traumatized.

MJ:

Run away? Hell, I'd be running so fast you wouldn't think I was even moving. I'd just, like, teleport to a safer location I'd be so fast.

Smoke:

I'm not too keen on frogs either. Their croaking wigs me out.

Hi Solly, K, Star, Mustard, A... did I miss anyone?

I love spiders, and frogs, and bugs. Again, not wasps or yellowjackets or ticks. I kill those indiscriminately. Spiders though, and big fat fuzzy bumblebees, and junebugs, dragonflies and all that other kind of junk, I love those. ^_^

EEEEEEEEK! I ♥ you, RW! ^_^

Mustard,

It's their sticky, slimey little feet.

And those rolie-polie bugs.

However the hell you spell it.

Hi Everyone!

No, rats scare the shit out of me to the point of almost passing out dying. I don't like them dead or alive. Don't care. DO NOT WANT.

Yeah and not real fond of frogs.


AI ANONS!

Are you about the house? We must crack on American Idol tonight!!

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE CATS. :)

My predictions are this:

We will laugh our asses off.

They will sing some lame songs.

One of the Davids will win.

And I won't buy either one of their records.


Who wants to place bets???

Anyone?

Smoke said...

My husband, he's so sweet, tortured me with a snake once. He told me he had me a present, right? So I got all excite.

*Gerard voice*

What is it? What is it?


He walked in the house carrying a three foot indigo snake.

I told him to never-ever-ever bring me another meffin' surprise.

>_<

sdock10 said...

Cats have a special place in my heart because they kill rats! Niiiiiiice. But then, they just leave them there after they are done torturing and playing with it. That part sucks.

My skin is crawling as I type this.....

*twitches*

Anonymous said...

LOL, Sdock. You win!



Cats are funny, as in odd. So temperamental, I swear.

I am less afraid of rats than I am of squirrels.

I like frogs. It rains frogs somewhere in the South, but I can't remember where.

I heard on the news today that it's almost time for the cicadas to come out. This apparently happens every 17 years.

Smoke said...

Solly,

I think David will win.

Definitely.

That's just a wild guess though.

Are they going to march down the streets in leather and feather boas?

Sorry, couldn't resist ;)

Underneath

Alanis


Look at us in this kitchen
Look at us rallying all our defenses

Look at us waging war in our bedroom
Look at us jumping ship in our dialogues

There is no difference
In what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as big as it does out there

So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

Look at us form our cliques in our sandbox
Look at us being cruel kids with both our hearts blocked

Look at us turn away from all the rough spots
Look at dictatorship on my own block


There is no difference
In what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as big as it does out there

So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.

How I've spun my wheels
With carts before my horse
And shine on the outside springs from gloom

Spotlight on these seeds of simpler reasons
And score bourne into corn, stretching my limit

There is no difference
In what we're doing in here
That doesn't show up as big as it does out there

So why spend all our time undressing our bandages
When we've the ultimate key to the cause
right here all underneath.



I heard it. Liked it.

Sdock:
A cicada is an insect of the order Homoptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha, in the superfamily Cicadoidea, with large eyes wide apart on the head and usually transparent, well-veined wings. There are about 2,500 species of cicada around the globe, and many remain unclassified. Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents. Cicadas are sometimes colloquially called "locusts",[1] although they are unrelated to true locusts, which are a kind of grasshopper. They are also known as "jar flies". Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and spittlebugs. In parts of the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United States they are known as "dry flies" because of the dry shell they leave behind.
Cicadas do not bite or sting, are benign to humans, and are not considered a pest. Many people around the world regularly eat cicadas: the female is prized as it is meatier. Cicadas have been (or are still) eaten in Ancient Greece, China, Malaysia, Burma, Latin America and the Congo.
