Way down at the center of the Earth, the core as it is called, the pull is intense. The rest of it, what I see every day, endlessly revolves, but down there it is all held in tight. I want to be that close, leave the cycle, become random. I am a part of the pattern and I know that is why I feel this way. So much of it is polluted.
There is the challenge.
I tried to dig it up once. I wanted to know if it would pull my soul out and then would it also find a place in rotation? Follow me around batting at the back of my head? But, my palms blistered before I made it. I would like to say I did not give up, but I did.
Yesterday, I read in the news that someone had finally reached it. Once they arrived, they made legal claim of the core of the Earth. Stuck a flag in it and gave it a proper name, in a proper way...I hate proper. So, now I want it even more. The rest of it can float off for all I care.
Well, not all of it.
I will try again. This time, a bigger shovel and a pair of gloves might do the trick, save my hands. I will not quit; it is worthy work. When I get there, I will release it. I no longer wish to be a part of its rotation. Instead, I wish for the whole of it to become the rest of it.
p.s. each day the same way and then look at it again if its there, focus.

Christine is on TV tonight! You
know the possessed car? I love that movie. Gonna go watch it.
Anon, no one said it was for my viewing pleasure, but since I was just about the only one here, thought I would throw that out there. didn't mean for it sound pissy and all. I was in the heat most of the day, heat has killed me. Thats all. Calm down anon.
No more shit throwing today, ok?
I have a dog, She hates UPS delivery. I don't know why. I like cats too.

Where can I read more about this monkey business? Hahaha, yeah I know, I'm lame. But I would like to see where you got that bit of info.
G'nite, MissT!
Goodnight Miss T, sweet dreams
Me too, anon!!! I'd like to read more about it.
And does Eliza and Lyn-z really have the same birthday?!
Oh, never mind, I found it Gerard rents a monkey for Lynz's birthday
monkey business!!

SUMMER HEIGHTS HIGH ON BBC THREE
If you're in the UK don't forget that Summer Heights High Starts this Tuesday 10th June at 10.
30pm on BBC THREE
for any UK residents, this is a very funny aussie show, One guy is 3 characters in a high school setting, Mr G - dramam teacher and very cringeworthy, J'mai- a girl on transfer from a private school, Jonah- a tongan yr 9 boy and just like some kids I taught!
have a look
WTTBP Live from mexico
don't know if this is linked anywhere already
Interview with Jimmy and LynZ
He talks about their recent success and LynZ is vapid as usual. "Our message is the anti-message. Think for yourself, 'cause we're not here to save you or tell you what to do. We're just here to take your money."
^ that quote above is from Jimmy not LynZ, I forgot to state that.
"We're just here to take your money."
That's about all that band is good for.
That's irritating as hell.
That's irritating as hell.
Yes it is, and LynZ justs laughs making it more irritating.
well at leat he's honest I suppose, no fan will be in any doubt about how much they care
*waves to everyone that waved*
Ergo, thank you for your email, much appriciated. i will shoot you one back but it kinda put a few things to rest that i was struggling with at the back of my mind.
you know what is so friggin crappy, it takes two to tango, but you only see one side because so many certain people back track into the old posts and deleted their comments. i wonder why that is, oh heck, you work it out. I will tell you oen thing though to some anons this afternoon, you have your opinion and others have theirs, but the difference is, you turn into bullies and spout off trying to attack someone else. heck, we all know some people go anon, but are you signed out first so there are no mistakes?
get some perspective :)
*and that was sarcastic too
hey fim
glad I could help!
(and my comment was for my JU comment, not fim of course)
If JU did say that, then maybe he should look for extra employment to gain. These days not a lot of bands make a lot of money due to excessing free downloading, and high CD prices, etc.
How much does it cost to rent a chimp, anyway? And as a member of PETA, I don't think it's sweet, I think it's cruel. Chimps are wild animals who belong in a social environment - that means with others of their own species (Jimmy Urine, notwithstanding).
yeh yeh ergo, of course ;)
how si my tent looking? ready for my to come live with you?
Anonymous, I didn't watch the video, but I take your word for it.
Just the "We're just here to take your money" rubs me the wrong fucking way, but I don't expect any more out a band like that.
If they don't give a shit, I don't give a shit.
It's whatever. This industry is full of bands and artists like them. They aren't the first, and they certainly won't be the last.
Hi fimmy
Probably a lot of money anon, but seriously, I would have loved reading an article about how that chimp smacked Jimmy around like a little bitch and showed him who's boss ^_^
Hello BC
FIMBLE VENOM SOCK STAR! I ♥ you to the moon and back. :)
Smok, i ♥ you to the corner of my dark hot and sweaty pocket and back ;)
O_O
Okay.
Bwhahahaha!
fim tent is ready when you are!
Chimp rental is pretty expensive. If MCR has a reasonably decent deal with Warner, I'd say Gerard's cut of about 1,500 ltd. edition boxsets would cover it.
cool, i will need it cos it gets a bit breazy out and about.
where is RW, anyone seen her?
Too rich for my blood. My dude would have to settle for a stuffed animal.
Damn, that's a lot of money. I paid close to $60 for my boxset(The black parade one, not the new one that's coming out)
this is where the Gerard and monkey pic and story came from.
http://cctbmmsi.blogspot.com
it's a blog of the current MSI tour that a tech for the opening bands is doing. he documents every day of the tour. even if you're not an MSI fan, it's still pretty interesting. he takes some cool pics of things from the cities they visit.
Thank you also very much and very kindly Princess and RW. ^_^ And again, Bean, thank you. :D And FIMBLE STAR!!! THANK YOu and also, hang on there for a few minutes till I get out of the shower okay, then I'll get on AIM. Don't leave without me okay?
dont worry, i wont go for a bit, but you will get your arse kicked for being late ;) how dare you whoop whoop.
thats an interesting blog, reading about how a tour progresses, and the cat on the day22 looks just like mine!
Forget the cost; what about the cruelty? Trained chimps are taken away from their mothers when they are babies and forced to live without the companionship of their own kind. They are often yelled at, threatened and beaten into submission.
The chimp in that picture is very, very young. A grown chimp can't be used for that type of thing, since it would weigh about 100 kilos and be about as strong as three humans. Grown chimps can't be reintroduced into a social group (such as a legit zoo) because they haven't learned to socialise with their peers, so once they can't be "rented out" anymore, what becomes of them?
Chimps should be left in the wild!
Awww, Anon! Now I feel bad. I wasn't saying that the monkey itself was a sweet gift, just the fact that he did something for her that she wanted. (Something my husband rarely does)
I do agree with you though. They do belong in the wild.
I do agree about chimps, it's not a good environment for them ,as they are social animals and become socialised to humans instead of their own kind.
Some now though are born in captivity and trained from there, but the mere fact it's done at all encourages the removal and sale of wild babies.
Plus they can snap and really hurt people.
but Smoke know what you mean, a gesture like that is special
Mayo,
I've always had a love/hate relationship with the night.
There are nights when I can't even remember my last thought before I sink deep into oblivion. There are nights when I can't sleep because of all of the thoughts and fears and insecurities and hopes running through my head.
Tonight will be the latter.
There are days when I can't wait to finally call "Lights out." Then there are days where I know I will procrastinate, put off sleep just as long as I can. Not because I don't want the rest, but because when my head hits the pillow, it signals some sort of impulse to immediately start thinking of shit I didn't have time to think about during the day.
Then there are times, like right fucking now, when I can't make sense of anything, and trying to write it out is futile.
I don't know what's going to happen, dude. This is like blind faith and jumping off bridges backwards and betting against the House.
Odds are...
You should probably fold. Shut the hell up. Not kidding, get out now. I can't, where am I supposed to go (besides crazy)?
There are times I want my drill to break.
Goodnight, Mayo. Want to strive to be more optimistic tomorrow?
SS,
Ever thought about the idea of joining the Goof Troop? Bahaha! You are too goofy.
Thanks for dropping by today. Always appreciated. :)
Have a nice night, dude!
BlogBelievers,
Have a great evening, you guys. Sleep well and I'll see you guys around tomorrow sometime. :)

Quoted and bolded for emphasis.
But apparently Gerard has better things to do these days than think about what his actions cost the environment, as well as the kids who listen to him.
Goodnight mustard, sweet dreams. Anon, you know what I don't like?
People who dress up their animals with diamond collars and clothes. I think that's disgusting.
AIM?
Mustard,
AMEN! Yes, yes, yes to everything you wrote tonight.
I ♥ you more tonight than last night.
On a lighter note--though this is not to say that I am not taking the stupid monkey thing with all due seriousness--it makes me want to quote the movie "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang."
"Talking monkey?"
"Yeah a talking monkey. Came here from the future. Ugly sucker, only says 'ficus.'"
goodnight mustard and dreams of clarity
hmmm looks like the blog is taking a nap
I think all the young ones from earlier were called to dinner, thank goodness.
lol or it's bedtime
so anon how are you?
lol it seems so anon. Hi there
Ergo and anon, goodnight, seems i can only see you two in here so have fun :)
It has been a long day and tomorrow is even longer so i will bid you all goodnight.
Just because someone claims something, it doesn’t mean that it is correct, even when it is there in black and white in front of them. You want to hound people, and bully them, then get some things right before you state your ‘facts’. Look at the day April 23rd and maybe 26th. Look at New Years Eve, and i can probably bet that there are other days that mysterious clumps of items have gone missing. Maybe some feel that they wish to look honourable in some peoples eyes, or maybe they decided better not put it there and then proceed to place it in a different place. All i know is that some things are happening and some are playing the victim card when clearly and evidently, they should realise that it is better to own up to a mistake, rather than accuse other people of their wrong doing or bullying people for doing one thing, when they are doing it themselves. Even though i left, i still read a little and i had very good friends who continued to speak about the blog, so i saw little hints and snarky remarks about moi, well i will lay this on the line and hint right back at ya but not in a subtle way. If anyone wants to email me for the alleged faking, then go right ahead, i have my email up on my profile. Then i will just send you my ever so amazingly faked email (note the sarcy in there) and you can see for yourself. Lets just say, if i was to fake anything, it wouldn’t be on a friggin blog and it wouldn’t be a crappy arse comment like that. Heck, it was spelt correctly so that’s a dead give away sign right there. We all know i own the blogs trophy for the crappiest and shittiest spelling and grammar.
Goodnight :)
Goodnight to you too, BC.
Goodnight fimmy, sweet dreams
I love you Fimble Star, I love you HXC.
PINK BUBBLE TOMORROW.

"Our message is the anti-message. Think for yourself, 'cause we're not here to save you or tell you what to do. We're just here to take your money."

hi anima hello again RW how was the shopping?
Hi Everyone!
Hmmm, I'm braindead today. Wish I had something really awesome to say, but nope, I got nothin'.
Hi Mayo, how are you? I see you stopped by today. Feeling kind of magnetic are you? Nah, nevermind, I never know what goes through that head of yours. ;)
Sweet dreams, BlogBelieve! Have a nice night!
Mayo,
You, too. Go to bed. Like now. I really hope you're doing okay. You're a hard dude to figure out, ya know? Just sayin'...
SS!!!!
Goof Troop? Oh, yeah. Hey SS! I got one last clubbin' hit for ya.
I put my hand up on your hip
When I dip, you dip, we dip
I started singing that for no reason this afternoon. Yeah, I know, WTF? I have no clue.
Oh, and remember The Gap Band? You Dropped a Bomb on Me? OMG, wanna see some rednecks in a club go ballistic? Oh yeah. You would have to see it to believe it, my friend. No lie. ^_^
Hope you're doing okay! Have a good one, SS.
XOXO
FIMBLE STAR!
I ♥ YOU EVEN MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!
Pink bubble, Fim! ^_^
Hey Ergo and RW!
Fimmy??
Hi, Anima and EP! :D
Goodnight, S&V! :D
EP, my shopping night was a total wash out. Didn't buy one damned thing :/
Like I said, I went to the beach today and I found I was sitting next to what looks like the entire pelvic bone of some little mammal. The seagulls probably dropped it. Anyway, I did what any other normal beach-going gal: I took it home. But first I took some pics because I thought it looked cool.
Doesn't the shadow look like a butterfly?
Then, as I was leaving, to my delight a swarm of dragonflies were all around my car!
One dragonfly.
Another dragonfly
This is Ponquogue Bridge, taken through some cool swamp grass. Or as we used to call it (and I still sometimes do,) "Punk Rock bridge" because that's kind of how it's pronounced. (I dare any non-local to have a go at pronouncing some of our place-names here: Happauge, Commack, Copague, Islip, Islandia, Poxabogue,, Quogue, Massapequa...)
Last night, like I mentioned, there was this fantastic, monsoon-like storm that knocked down trees and knocked out power lines and such. It only lasted about an hour and a half, and then after that, the setting sun came out.
Here is what it looked like through the wet maple leaves.
And through the grass.
These are just some fuzzy, prickly raspberry buds. I love those.
This is a funny truck I saw going home the other day. "Lubricant specialists," el oh el, I am twelve.
Hello, hello all,
Naruto shippuuden! Why can't you see the newest episodes on youtube.
Can only get up to episode 48 I think. Bleach is good too.
I miss Trigun. That was my favorite.
Crap on TV all the time. Tonight they had Christine,and Firestarter is on now.
BlogBelieve,
G'nite, you guys!
Sweet dreams!
Fimble Star
I ♥ YOU so much!
Pink bubble for sure.
Oh and I almost forgot....
TASTE THE RAINBLOW!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Solly! Glad you got a laugh about my dream! It was so ridiculous, but it was so cool that you two were in it!
....
Ummm, can I just say that Frank did an amazing job playing bass. I finally watched the videos today and damn, I was quite impressed. Actually impressed by the whole group! Damn, I love the Cure so fucking much!
Hey ANima, how's it going? How you?
RW:
Sounds very much like a two-fingered salute to MCR and their message, if you ask me.
It sure does, and TBH it makes me feel some pity for Lindsey. She's got Jimmy Assheaded Rodeo Clown on one end trying to be all "ANTI MESSAGE LULZIES FIVE YEAR OLD PANTY SHOT GIVE US UR MONEY!!!111" Then she's got Gerard obviously coaching her in the other direction to be a role model (lulzies in and of itself.) Either way, that's quite the tug o' war, I guess.
Ah well! But hopefully having a wild animal in captivity perform for her will make it better.
Night, Solly :)
Hi, K :) Nice pics!
Hi, Mel anon :)
Hi Mel, Anima. Goodnight solly, smokie. Hi RW *squeeze*
P.S. Yo, I love your squeezes too RW
Thank you again and as always, RW. ^_^

Either way, that's quite the tug o' war, I guess.
Perhaps what's why she needed the chimp, to have something solid to cling on to while the tug o' war takes place.
K: :D
Hi, BC! :D
*SQUEEZE*
Hey BC and Kapunua. :)
Beautiful pictures btw!
I have to admit I watched the interview with Lynz and Jimmy. No comment. ^_^
Hello Rw, Hello BC, How are you?
Has anyone heard from miranth? Hope she is ok.
Thank you, Anima! Me, I can't watch the interview. I can't look at Jimmy Urine without thinking of what a little peen he is.
The thought occurs, if one were to replace Jimmy with the chimp would anyone notice the difference?
Silly me, of course they would. The chimp's got a better haircut.
Better manners too, I'm sure.
And better lyrics is my guess. Even if it does only say "ficus."
eek blogger has gone all simple view on me!
goodnight sdock sweet dreams
RW I hate that, not buying anything makes it feel such a waste
Mel, I'm good, just finishing typing up a resume and doing some apartment searching. Miranth was here earlier today. I hope she's okay.
Oh hey Mel. Sorry I missed you there. :)
Kapunua, you are going to completely hate me for saying this, but as much as I dislike JU as a person, I think he's kind of talented.
*runs for cover!*
Gerard wasted five grand to see a monkey jump around and shit in a diaper. he should have given it to charity or at least get LynZ some bling. she doesn't even have an engagement ring.
Good Luck BC. Apartment hunting is hard.
Hello Anima. What's cooking?
I know very few people here are going to agree with me, but I actually like Jimmy Urine. He doesn't pull any punches or make any excuses and he doesn't pretend to be someone he's not.
Can't say the same thing about Gerard or Lyn-z, though.
Better manners too, I'm sure.
And a bigger vocabulary.
Mayo,
Dude, I don't even know. Seriously, most days and nights, I can come up with 7000 different questions to ask myself or you. Tonight, it seems the best I can do is...ummm, hey Mayo, how are you? Other than that, I kind of just feel like I'm floating, but not that good kind of floating. Yeah, see I have this haunting recurring floating thing, but nope, that's not it. This is the kind of floating where I'm back in that fucking middle spot again. I hate the fucking middle. I had one of those days where I was smacked in the face with the reality of where I am. And I've told you before, some days, that is very comforting to me. Today, it just pissed me the fuck off. I felt like I was drowning. Suffocating by my own hand. Dude, that's the worst part, isn't it?
I'm right where I am because of everything that I've never done.
I'll tell you what else I figured out, but not really. I have no fucking clue what it is that I'm supposed to be doing. I just don't know. I've spent my whole life waiting for it to find me. Guess what? I'm either doing a mighty fine fucking job of staying lost and hidden or I'm running the fuck away from it. Maybe it's a little of all of it.
I'm still digging, Mayo, but I've hit that part where it seems like I'm not going to find anything worth digging for. The part where you want to throw the shovel down, plop down in your hole, and sit. Wish for it all to stop. (I'm back to the wishing thing again.) Close your eyes. And wait. Fuck that, I have to find a way to keep slinging dirt.
You know what would be really fucking funny? What if I've already found it and it's over there in my dirt pile?
What if....I fucking missed it?
And I thought that I was all out of questions tonight.
Silly Solly.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. Looked like bullshit to me.
Thanks Mel. Anon, did he really spend that much on a chimp? I don't want to criticize, but that money should have been donated to the earthquake victims in Manamar or something.
Is that I spell it?
RW I hate that, not buying anything makes it feel such a waste
Well, at least I got a good walk in, and I stopped for dinner on the way home.
I promised Miss T I'd get her something shiny. Do you think a pizza counts?
No comment on the one song, but as for some of the others, I do dig the lyrics.
*again, runs for cover!*
No, you're entitled to your opinion. I've read the guy's lyrics and I think he's a classless idiot, and what's more, a total hack. Their synthesized fake music thing they do doesn't do it for me, either. To each their own though; my one cousin likes their sound.
She didn't have an engagement, so why should she get a ring?
I see your point, though.
Anima, once I start to hear lyrics like "bitches" and "f*ggot" and "n*gger," "Five Year Old Panty Shot" aside, a "writer" has already not only lost me as audience, but has made me want to ram my fist completely down his throat.

June 9, 2008 11:05 PM
I agree. I always believe in giving to charity first. Makes me feel bad that he thought he needed to do that. It sounds like a nice gesture, but he could have helped put a kid through college with that money.
Not that he doesn't donate, I do not know.
A ring would be nice too!
I don't know which is worse, rented chimps or diamonds. Both are inhumane and both are a total waste of maney.

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
BC, I wish you all the best.
Finding an affordable apartment in Chicago is not easy. Are you moving in with someone or are you doing this by yourself?
Mel, I'm okay. Just way too busy. Good thing, bad thing? I'm not sure!
Maybe she's testing their tru luv by seeing how many ridiculous requests she can get him to fill before he says enough is enough.
*is still a bit bowled over by the rent-a-chimp thing*

THANK YOU! Hallelujah.
Although Ergo tells me that there are some "safe" diamonds. I forgot where she said they were from though.
Either way, meh, I find diamonds common*, and even fair trade ones are held off the market to increase their value and that's cheesy.
*Actual diamonds, not the metaphoric ones I'm always on about.
Maney? Lol. Silly anon ^_^
RW pizza comes in a shiny tray?
It could work.
anima I don't have an opinion on him as I've never listened to the music that closely., it's not a style I like, but to have a following he must be able to do something right.
I got the impression he does stuff to shock and that has a place but tends to be quite transient unless you back it up with something substantial, otherwise the next "shock rocker" comes along and you're forgotten
hi again mel
Try looking here for apartments, BC. They've got a branch in Toronto & I've found them to be useful in apartment hunting.
Gerard should have bought 5 g's
worth of Sharpie stock.
kapunua the Argyle diamond mines in western australia
Incidentally though re: giving your money to charity: That's a personal decision and I'm a big proponent of people spending their cash on things that they really want. I draw the line when the products hurt other people or animals (and so many of them do, it's hard to keep track and I struggle every day with this,) but when it's an obvious thing--rented monkeys, conflict diamonds and such--yeah, I'm against those things.
But other than that I'm like, hey if you want to give to charity, that's way cool. If you want to spend your money on frivolous things that don't hurt others, that's also cool. Shoots, I own a Wii, so who am I to talk about giving all my hard earned cash to charity? ^_^
Typo, BC.
Meant to say money.
Maney? Lol. Silly anon ^_^
Are you seriously getting on someone else's ass over spelling BC?
Argyle, that's the one. Thanks Ergo.
And as far as charity is concerned, it's awesome to give money to them. But for me at least, time and effort are much greater commodities. When you give your time and effort to a cause, you know where the time and effort has gone. Money, sometimes not so much.
I totally hear you Kapunua. :) And you know that I totally respect your opinion. 100%
I think the music is pretty decent, and I think JU's range is quite impressive. However, I do admit that I tend to look at the lyrics much later. Sometimes it takes me years to nail it down because I try not to look them up. Something always changes for me. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. I'm weird like that. In hearing certain words, I don't really get too worried about it...it sort of the whole context and I always give the benefit of the doubt - just like some art work, that maybe I don't know the whole story behind it.
And if I never heard them and I read the lyrics to 'panty shot' or some others maybe I would feel different. I dunno.
Thanks Anima. You're right, it isn't. Most apartments in the city are over a grand a month.
I told a friend that for school I wanted to look for a place, and well, she told me she'd keep an eye out. So far she told me she found a couple of places, but one of them is apparently haunted.
We're thinking about moving in together in the fall, but nothing is definite, but at the same time, if this happens, it's causing me to start looking for a full-time job, and fortunately, I found a job opening on monster.com and I have already sent my resume in.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope they offer health insurance and that everything works out for the best because I'm also thinking of buying a car, for the summer.
11:18
No way! I just think maney sounds funny.
Thanks RW :)
Ahh, see I'm a word-person. I always look up the lyrics; it's often the first thing I do. Then I sit there and try to pull them apart and piece them back together. It's the word-whore in me. ^_^
And I suppose because I grew up in a neighborhood with such racism and saw it first hand, and had it thrown at me as well--along with hurtful words about gender and preference and lifestyle--I take it to heart when people blithely use them for shock value or whatever.
And as far as child abuse goes, especially sexual child abuse, well that just crosses the line a thousand miles back for me. It makes me feel actually very violent.
5K to rent a monkey? O_O
You're welcome, BC :)
I do hope that some asses are making money off of renting animals. Hopefully it is some sanctuary that uses this as a tool to raise money to support the care of their animals. *crosses fingers*
good luck with the job BC
Anima, apparently so O_o
And by the way, when I say "gender" I mean for men, too. It irks me just as much when men are thought of solely as their gender. "OF course he's a pig, he's a man," or, "Well you have to expect that kind of behavior, ALL men are like that." That bothers me, too. You can't define someone by the X or the Y. It's unfair.
Thanks Ergo
I hope so too, Anima.
At some of the places I've volunteered, we'd often have raptors and such that were non-releasable, and they would be hired for educational purposes. They'd be taken to schools and lectures and whatnot--only the ones who didn't stress about it--and used to teach people about raptors and especially why they are protected.
So maybe it was something educational like that? I hope?
Diamonds are cool, If it doesn't hurt anyone. Not from the mines of Africa. the safe ones. Even a damn CZ. You do not have to be engaged to get an engagement ring once you are married. Would be a lovely gift. Along with an intimate dinner for two. Some flowers.
Maybe that is too traditional for the Ways. I don't know. I would like that.
BC. haunted apartment? Would that bother you? Do you think it is haunted?
If other people love there prehaps you could ask them what they have heard or experienced. The price could be right. :)
Kapunua, I totally understand. I have so many friends that are 'word whores' (LOL!). I guess because being a dancer, I hardly ever had a song to dance to that had words. In fact if they did have words, you could still make up your own choreographed story to fit it. Also, I find that 'faster' type bands I just get right into rockin' out. I just feel it, no time to think. It just moves me. I was a huge lyric whore when it came to the Cure, Depeche Mode, and the others in the like, but bands like Tool, even my favorite band Fugazi, it took me forever to figure out the words. I am in NO WAY comparing MSI to those bands. In all seriousness, I do dig the sound of MSI, but they will never ever compare musically to those guys. Or even to MCR for that matter. I think I feel for MSI the way I felt for My Life with the Thrill Kult or Lords of Acid. Something that I could get into, but yes the lyrics can be a bit shocking.
You do not have to be engaged to get an engagement ring once you are married. Would be a lovely gift. Along with an intimate dinner for two. Some flowers.
And a chimp.
I lived in a haunted building in Halifax, BC.
BC, again I wish you all the best. Just keep on keeping on. You know what you want to do, so go for it. Yes, there will be ups and downs in those plans, but keep shooting for it. Apartments there are so ridiculous. I always felt so bad for my friends who lived there, especially my one good friend who makes crap money working at a non-profit, but admire even more. She made it work! It may mean moving in with some people, just make sure you always know where you stand with the bills. It can destroy even the best of relationships.
Kapunua, I hope so too! (re: the renting being for a greater cause).

That would be a nice thought. I hope so.
My poor dog was so hot today. I turned the air on for her. She wanted to come outside with me so bad. I couldn't let her.
I was cleaning blinds all afternoon on my deck.
Yes, I said on my deck! ^_^ j/k
I am so tired. My arms feel like lead.
As for words. Word Warrior is what some can be called. I have been called that a few times.
I have never been accused of being stupid, nor have I ever been accused of being a rocket scientist either.
I take it with a grain of salt. However, I do enjoy words myself.I think I like to challenge myself.
Words can have such power to heal, to love, to soothe. Make someone laugh, or hurt and damage. Which I do not approve of.
zing RW!
actually I wouldn't want someone to spend $5000 on me for something that transient,perhaps a holiday, jewellery a fabulous dinner at perhaps Hestor Blumenthals The Fat Duck.....
*writes note to hubby*
eh $5000 is a lot though, I'd rather spend a bit and bank the rest. I think of all the other things I could spend it on
This was on Buzznet. Approach with caution this is VERY LONG but it is so true and some of you might apprecaite this.
My rant on Gerard Way and other things involving him!
I know this journal is more than likely going to get "shit talk" from the oh so very obessed Gerard Way fans, but at this point I really could give a flying fat pig how much my journals, statements or ideas go against the "norm" of buzznet. So to all those who are going to insult me or call me stupid, immature, jealous, or the countless other insults that have been way over used, please save your fingers. I've heard much worse...I promise.
My journal today is about Gerard Way. A group of my friends and I were sitting around and we were talking about Gerard. Mind you that my friends and I have been fans of the band since 2002 and all of us have seen them live and met them numerous times. When I say that I've been a fan of the band for a long time I am not trying to put people down who haven't. I am just trying to clarify that I have room to talk. Not to say that fans of the band who were in 2005 dont' have the right.....I've just known this band for awhile and I love them with a passion.
Gerard Way has changed. There I said it. For a long time I thought I was the only person who actually believed this, but my best friend (gerardwayismysuperhero) noticed it as well and she is a huge fan of Gerard Way. She knows more about the guy then I do and thats saying a lot.My other friends have notice this change too. It was weird because all the thoughts and feelings I expressed about him "changing" were shared by my friends and other MCR fans. Even here on buzznet I have ran into more people than I can count that believe Gerard is different and for the worse.
I am not saying change is bad. It can be good, but in the case of Gerard he has changed by lying to his fan base and fabricating some stupid bullshit that most fans know is not true. Should he be honest with us? For the most part I would hope he would keep his thoughts about certain things to himself. After all he is a human being and does make mistakes. However, to lie and throw away the hard work of his band is another story all together. Ok so you ask where am I going with this? Gerard of 2002 is a lot different than Gerard of 2006. Gerard of 2006 is a lot different then Gerard of 2008. I mean I know he use to be hooked on drugs and alchohol but at least he talked to his fans. Hung out with them after the shows and what not. He was pretty cool. When he stopped doing drugs and alcohol he became more serious about his music, but still he never missed a chance to say hi to a fan or take a picture. I have met him several times during these time periods and he was always welcoming and thankful for his fans.
Then the last time I met him...which was in early 2008, he seemed put off by fans being around him. It was like " Look at me I am Gerard Fucking Way and if I don't want to smile I don't have to". Gerard became really cocky and arrogant and for no good reason. I mean yes, he may be the front man of a big band, but please Gerard get over yourself. You aren't that GREAT. I thought maybe he was just having a bad day, till my friends who have met him in early 2008 told me the exact same thing. One of my friends told me that he just walked down the line signing quickly and never looked up once, nor did he utter a single thank you. Now granted this is just Gerard we are talking about. I've met Ray Toro more than any of them and he has always 100% been nice to me and thanked me for being such a long time fan. Gerard on the other hand...seemed like he could care less nowadays.
Some of you may think I am completely off my rocker here, but sorry. I am not going to refuse to see the change just because he is "GERARD WAY". People he isn't that special and he is a man just like everybody eles.
What really ticked me off is how he has claimed that MSI has helped the band become what they are. Ok Gerard if you want to make excuses for your rushed up marriage you don't have to degrade the band by saying shit like that. All five of those guys busted their ass to make it in the music industry and they had no help from this band called MSI. If they had to name a band that actually helped then I would hope it would be Taking Back Sunday..and they have named them before. I don't care what you guys say, Gerard was lying about that. Notice how he has NEVER and I mean NEVER mentioned that band before until after the marriage. I find it kind of funny how he never said anything about them until after the marriage but they are the reason MCR is famous. PLEASE Gerard go sell that bullshit somewhere eles because your " long term fans" who have been with you since 2002 aren't buying that bullshit. And sorry but its truly bullshit. IF ANYBODY and I mean anybody can actually show me a magazine article, interview or what not before the year 2005 where Gerard is talking about how MSI got them their fame then I would be glad to retract my statement. Until then I will not.....I mean I've heard him talk about The Dresden Dolls and they aren't a popular band at all.
OH and this whole respect for women bullshit that Gerard has supposely been very outspoken about, but tells his "crowd of girls" to moan for him while grabbing his crotch is fucked up too. Gerard, you are not Jimmy Urine..Leave the "masturbation of litle girls" to him. Geard never did this back in the old days. He was highly respectful of girls. I was at a concert one time where he told women and I quote because I would never forget this.
" All you girls out there need to have respect for themselves. You don't have to wear revealing clothes to get far in this world. You don't need to have fake boobs. If anybody comes up to you and ask you to degrade yourself to get backstage you tell them to fuck off because you are better than that. You spit in their fucking face!"
I mean we are talking about a guy when asked if he did the whole rock and roll experience by Steven on untilted rock he said " No our band isn't about that ...". Although I know for a fact they were pretty wild back in their start. Ha .....
And from what I understand Gerard has done this at several concerts. It was a really touching moment because here was the frontman of a huge band ( who are usually about groupies and sex) telling girls to respect themselves. Now? Well now he is like I said before grabbing his crotch, wearing tight jeans where you can see is dick for crying out loud, and moaning loudly on stage. I have to stop and wonder how the rest of the guys feel about this? Honestly? I mean there was a point in Gerard's music career where his pants would be so loose they would fall off of him on stage. There was a point in Gerard's life where he was chubby and didn't care what people thought of him. Now its all about the clothes, the fame and the extremely little jeans he seems to squeeze himself into. And people want him as a role model to little boys? People's excuse is " well he only acts like that on stage". That is a sad excuse for him and his wife.Yes I didn bring her into his dispite the fact that she hates be " Ms. Gerard Way". A person shouldn't change who they are just for music. If I was in a band (which I am) I wouldn't change my personsality, my image or my ideas while I was on stage. HELLO? Gerard fails to see that " ON STAGE" is where most people see him, look up to him, and praise him. What is with this " OH Gerard only acts like that on stage...he isn't the same person off" or " OH lyn-z only spreads her legs on stage and tells the crowd to finger her because that is her bad school girl persona..she isn't like that off stage" My question is, is how do you know what they are actually like? I seriously doubt any member of Gerard's or Lyn-z's family has buzznets. I highly doubt their friends do. So how do you know what they are like out of the public's eye? We only know by their stage apperances and their "public" meet and greets. My friend Emily saw a picture of lyn-z the other day spreading her legs on stage and the first word she said was " Nasty". Why? because most people who see lyn-z for the first time see her on stage. Its the truth so why would she want to act all trashy on stage where most people see her? Same goes for Gerard...no I haven't forgotten about him. He isn't perfect in this either.
That shit is a load of shit basically. Why do people who are as famous as these two choose to act "bad" on stage, where millions of people see them and choose to act good off stage where maybe a handful of people see them? That Doesn't make sense to me. My grandma had an old saying " If it smells like shit..it is shit" and that smells like shit. If this is the case then why doesn't Gerard do drugs and drink alchohol on stage? I mean come on according to buzznet its ok because he is a compeletly different person onstage than off...RIGHT?
Thats another thing. This whole Lyn-z and Gerard thing. She says she is sick because she has lost her indenity. Fair enough.....but if they were turely that concerned about it then why in the hell did they give shout-outs to each other on PR, wrote sharpie notes letting everybody know they were together, and got married backstage? Lyn-z knew it was going to happen I don't care what you people say and you still can't tell me that their "fame" didn't boom after the marrige. From underground shows to Kerrang interviews to touring in Japan in their nice new bus? Seriously......I think the FACTS speak for themselves. Lets not mention the fact that they recently had a "contest" to where they were giving away their "drum set". I believe it said something along the lines of " Win this drumset that was used on the same stage as MCR" or something like that. Its on youtube if you want to look it up. Funny how MSI is a independent band but they never fail to "name drop" MCR when they get the chance. Kind of like Steve Righ? or whatever his name is wearing a Mikey Fucking Way shirt....hmmmmmm. I am not dissing on the true fans of MSI. I know there were fans of this band way yyyy before the marriage to Gerard Way. I have three fans who love MSI and still do. BUT they all say that MSI did get a huge boost in fame after the marriage. Even true MSI fans don't deny that.
Its not like I hate MSI or Lyn-z. I could really care less about the band. I don't like them because of their nasty lyrics ( which should be taken with a grain of salt, but some how I find that molestation is a serious subject since I was a victum of it). I don't like Lyn-z because every other minute she is saying something different. Like how she doesn't think she is a serious bass player in one interview and in another she is the best there is. I also don't like the fact that she considers herself a role model for girls! yeah a role model that spreads her legs on stage and has this bad school girl image.Despite the fact that her "stage self" may be nothing like her real self doesn't mean that little girls don't look up to that. My 10 year old sister was looking through my pictures on my computer of MCR and she saw one of Lyn-z. Her exact words were " Sissy why is that girl spreading her legs on stage for everybody to see her underwear! That GROSS!" Yeah she is a prefect role model right? What I don't get is why are girls and boys looking for somebody to look up to anyway? I mean why don't you just try to be yourself instead of mirroring somebody else? I don't believe in role models. It think kids should be taught to look to themselves as a role model and to BE THEMSELVES.
I had to laugh though at what my sister said. Lyn-z a supposed role model? A role model who's songs talk about molestation, niggers( which the use of that word as really disrespected my boyfriend since he does come from a interracial family), rape and panty shots of 5 year olds.Do you even know what a panty shot is? Why don't you look it up? Thats all we need is for our 13 year olds to be doing that. I guess our country (America) has really started to lack morals.No wonder other countries think our women are nothing but cheap and nasty and I hate to say this..WHORES.Oh but we can't use the word Whore because it degrades women? yeah well so does the word Nigger and MSI doesn't seem to have a problem using it. Hmmmm. Funny how Amy Lee is a famous " FEMALE" singer but she doesn't spread her legs on stage and act like that. YEAH......
OH and I think its funny how Lyn-z also plays the fem bit, but she got married to the biggest front man in music, and she whines because she doesn't have her name! How many of you can Honestly say you knew about lyn-z two years ago? Most of you can't and those who do are either lying or are true fans of MSI. Lyn-z needs to seriously look up the definition of being a "femenist". Its about being EQUAL to a man..not getting special treatment just because your a woman. She states that women have a hard time making it in a music industy...which is not true. I could name tons of women, but you guys can just do a google search for that. She also wants people to feel sorry for her because she is this "poor" struggling little girl in the music industry. Seriously somebody play this girl a freaking violin. You are touring around with your band making music..something that I would give my right arm to do! And you are whining about it because you aren't famous? I would give anything just to be able to go around and play for people! I unfortunatly don't have the time too. I have school and everything else!
Also, you may try to throw up the fact that MCR's lyrics are just as bad which they aren't. I mean they at least sing about REAL things and their lyrics actually have meaning. MSI has admitted several times that " its all just a big joke and nothing is serious and blah blah blah"
I am just sick of this whole thing all together. I am so sick of everytime I look up MCR I have to be hammered with pictures of MSI and Lyn-z. They are two completely different bands and the only way they are connected ( which really they aren't) is through Gerard and Lyn-z. I just want it back in the old says where one could come on here and discuss MCR without having to talk about how fucking awesome Lyn-z is because she is the best bassist ever! Who gives a fuck about lyn-z or her dumb band. I am first and foremost a MCR fan and I refuse to associate them together and I won't.
Now back to my original subject. I hope IF Gerard comes back in the next two years that he has humbled himself greatly. He wouldn't be anywhere right now if it wasn't for the support of his fans ( not MSI who he claims made MCR famous). I really hope Gerard realizes just what all he has. Which is a great band, a beautiful wife ( even though I don't like her character) and four guys who are willing to stand behind him no matter what. Not to mention a awesome comic book and a huge fan base of very supportive fans.
I know I will more than likely get bashed about my opinion on here of Gerard Way, Lyn-z or MSI , but I don't care. A good friend told me last night that it takes a lot of guts to go agains the "norm" and the most popular thing here on buzznet. I am a rebel and I am always going to express my opinion no matter how much it goes against " the popluar belief". It just feels good to know that there are others out there *many others* beside the " buzznet teenies" who feel the same way I do. In the end I have to admit that Buzznet is just a small fraction of the greater Musical world out there. What a handful of people believe on buzznet itsn't always the popluar belief. Despite what people say on here..I am more than be willing to bet that there is 5 " non buzznet" fans who are wiling to agree with me. In the end I am glad that people on here are willing to stand up for what they believe in. To be slient and not say anything is worse than being outspoken and being "picked on" because you don't happen to agree. I don't care who comments this thing if any of you have actually read this far..lol and if you have then thank you. If you believe Lyn-z is the most awesome thing since slice bread then good for you. If you believe Gerard is a God and hasn't changed one bit then awesome. Like I said these are just my thoughts and views and in no way am I trying to change people's mind. I am just using this journal to get things off my chest. I welcome all comments..good and bad and if you bash me ..and it makes you feel better about yourself. Then do it.
I just want to thank my friends for being awesome and standing by me. I enjoy going to concerts with you guys and talking about things like this. I know I shouldn't do buzznet, but what else am I going to do with my summer? Ha Ha!
Reena
*Heston
Or maybe the 'renting'* was actually in the form of a donation. Something different and special for his wife, something good for the animal organization. :)
*'renting' with regard to animals seems so wrong.
actually I wouldn't want someone to spend $5000 on me for something that transient,
True story. If someone was going to shell out that much for me, it should be something meaningful and lasting. Like, I could do an entire vacation with that kind of money. See some culture.
Mel, my friend says it's haunted, but I don't think that would be my first choice place to live in. Or would it? Hmm..
RW, cool ^_^
Thank you Anima *hugs*
I consider bills to be the work of pure, mind boggling evil, but at least I can write a check :p
That was superfly long, damn, but a good read. Thanks, anon. It's heartening that we're not the only ones who are seeing this.
actually perhaps for $5000 I can go an live in Heston's kitchen, or Nigella's kitchen, or John Torode's kitchen , or Antonio Carluccio's kitchen or.....
Nice Ergo. That's exactly what I would do. Bank the rest. Nice dinner works for me. ;)
Sorry for being slow this evening. I am beat. the sun killed me.
Hmm, let's see. If $5k was dropped in my lap, what's the first thing I'd do? Well, I guess I'd pay some bills! But let's pretend for a second that the bills are all paid, no debt, nothing like that. And here ya go, here is $5K. What would you do with a spare $5K?
I'd go to Japan, that's what I'd do.
K, people like Gerard and LynZ have been to Japan. They are bored rich people trying to fill the void.
Huh. I guess that's true, though I wasn't necessarily comparing myself to them, but good point. Okay so assume that your bills are paid, you have a house and a car and no debts, and your family is good to go.
Someone drops $5K in your lap and you've already been to all the places you want to visit. What do you do?
Well I guess in that case I'd hire someone to build the most kickass aviary, with lots of different sections and doors, and weather-proof also.
I think that's what I'd do.
I'd do a trip too, K. Either to Venice or Machu Picchu.
I would go to Italy with a stopover in Morocco, then save a bit and pop up to the UK and over to the US and Canada to visit everyone.
and anon thanks and it was also linked last night (my time)
OR! I'd get a really cool waterfall in my yard, with awesome trees and plants and junk all around it. Like a pool/waterfall. That'd be decent.
But let's pretend for a second that the bills are all paid, no debt, nothing like that. And here ya go, here is $5K. What would you do with a spare $5K?
rent a studio.
and a cabana boy.
in england.
hi there, people. :)
Mel, cleaning blinds on the back deck is not a bad idea! For the vertical piece of shit blinds that I have in my bedroom, I take them down and soak them in the bath tub with some soap. Wipe them down and hang to dry. ;)
I do agree with several points made in that post from Buzznet. It makes me sad.
resurrected wreck said...
I'd do a trip too, K. Either to Venice or Machu Picchu.
Yeah, you know? I mean, okay so assuming they've both been to Japan. But I'm sure there are other places to go to aside from the ones you've already been to.
Yeah, if I'd already been to Japan, Italy and whatnot and I magically had a spare $5K, I'd think of a different place to travel to. Something bizarre.
rent a studio.
and a cabana boy.
in england.
O_o
Beats renting a chimp, anyway. ;) Naughty.
MINE!
Hi, TJ :D
Nice choice!
Sorry; I wanted my birth year.
oh Machu Picchu! I would love to see that for real.
If I didn't blow it on travel I would redo my kitchen and finish doing up the house (still have some floors to polish etc)
It makes me sad too, Anima.
Amen to that Reena.
oh, wait! my bad, that wasn't appropriate.
an "assistant".
i'd rent a very pretty english fellow, er...assistant.
yeah.
he could grind my pigments.
*heh*
On the subject of travel:
Strange things to do in Europe.
hello TJ how was work?
so K did you get your birth year?
he could grind my pigments.
*cough*
he could grind my pigments.
0_0
I did, Ergo, and sadly it made my night. :)
oh now it's called "grinding your pigments" is it?
TJ I just sent you an e-mail
A pool and a waterfall, that sounds nice. I think I'll add TJ's cabana boy to that scenario. ;)
Anon, yes those kids have been around the world, but wouldn't it be nice to actually go and enjoy it...band people have pretty much no time to truly experienced the places they've been to. I think?
Thanks for posting that. It was long. I do agree with some of what was said. My feelings coincide with the very sentiment of Gerard seems to have changed to a degree. I believe his ego has been over inflated. I also do not know if his current wife is the best thing that has happened to him.
He might think so now, down the road may be a different bitter story. I don't wish to see anyone's marriage fail.
I have seen him doing backbends and saying things at some concerts that don't sound like the Gee of yesteryear.
He has definately changed, I fear not for the better.
We don't know everything, we don't live with them or walk in GW's shoes. Who knows what is going on.
I hope he isn't being used.
Time will tell. We shall see in due time.
Valid points to ponder.
Things that make you go hmm..
it's a long tradition in the art world, people.
grinding, i mean.
*whistles along innocently to song 2 in the headphones*
That's cool, RW. I'd like to save that for when I get to go back to Europe (I've only been to England, just once, right after college.)
You know what I really want to do? I want to go to Sicily and go to the grave of Salvatore Giuliano, and to stay at his family's hotel. I'm so obsessed with him it's crazy.
it's a long tradition in the art world, people.
grinding, i mean.
O_o
i shall pop right over to my email elena, my dear.
did a. tell you about "dragonlady"??
*heeheeheehee*
Who is he, K?
anima very true I've heard so many band members in interviews say how they go so many places but never actually get to see anywhere.
Especially say Australia (ok so I am slightly biased) but bands usually play 4 cities and they are a tiny fraction of what the country is like, and asia would be the same , if they are from a distance away (which just about any but a local band would be) they fly in and fly out, that would suck badly
"grinding your pigments" O_O
ORLY?!
....
*Edit: experience*
....
Kapunua, sad I know. :(
I want to go to Montelepre and see his mountains, and maybe even see someone related to him. I'd pee my pants. I'd probably cry.
Hi Elena, TJ.
$5k, I'd travel all over the country, then go visit England, Japan, and Italy and see if I have relatives there, and go stay in a villa.

I used to do that too. i didnt feel like cleaning the tub though. :(
I know, stunad! Smacks self in the head. Too late now. I only did three. the rest will go in the tub. ;)
K you best be nice to me if you're planning on going to Sicily I can send the Family after you ;)
RW, that is really cool. I've never been to Europe. :( My hubby has a ton of times and to Japan twice. So jealous.
Grinding pigments. Now thats a good one! ;)
RW, he was a bandit in Sicily, but he was more than a bandit. He tried to free Sicily from the rule of the mafia and the corrupt government. It started when he was shot over trying to bring a piece of cheese to his sister's wedding. Instead of surrendering it's like he went crazy all of a sudden and just ran.
He lived in the mountains with his band of "honorable thieves" and soon he became a political activist. He wanted to annex Sicily to the US, in fact. But anyways, he lived in the mountains with his men and for years no one could catch him. He changed the entire history of Sicily. Through the years he would be hunted and he would be totally framed for different crimes and such, but he had a tremendous wit and will to survive too.
In the end he was betrayed by his best friend and shot down in the street of Sicily, which is horrible.
I adore him though, and I adore all stories about him.
ME!
anima, how are you? Didn't get a chance to ask how things are.
Hope you had a good day.
K you best be nice to me if you're planning on going to Sicily I can send the Family after you ;)
Do you really have family in Sicily, Ergo? I've got some in Naples, that's as far as I know. Some in Naples, some in Ireland, and I think that some of my family are on Native American reservations in the mid-west too.
And in New York and New Jersey as well. ;)
damn, well a famous Sicilian is ok to lose to
Mel, I hear you. The tub becomes a mess, but it feels like less work for some reason. ;) It's a once a year/every other year kind of job. I'm proud of you for taking on the challenge!
Most of my blinds now are bamboo, They never look or feel dirty. It's the best.
Hello toujours.How are you? Hope you had a good Monday at least.
Shot over bringing a piece of cheese to his sister's wedding??
