Up To The Ground.

Those hills breathe fire
And exhale into the stream
Billows of crackled frames
Mixed with the amassed sordid matter
Of a thousand million leaves
Pelf, from pandered promise
Settles into the hollows
Filling the rift with futile night
They will brush ash from their soles
For an eternity after having been told
Better to swallow holes than believe
What was struck, no longer stands




p.s. and so it went.

Yep watching Frank. He's a cutie.

Amy,you watched Wipeout tonight? We did too. Wasn't thrilled. It was as if the combined the shows survival, big brother and the Mxc game together. I like the Japaneese one it is so funny.

I prefer MXC, it's funny because of the hosts and the dubbing. I do enjoy the fact that in Japan, they'd do a gameshow like that too.

Of course, I like Japanese TV. I used to watch it on my cable box here when it was on preview. Can barely understand it, but I find it SO interesting, especially the shows about their culture.

*smiles broadly*

Oh my yes. Yes he is.

I love the weight on him now! Last year he was just TOO thin. But NOW...mmm mmm MMM. If he lets his hair grow out longer, and keeps the weight on, maybe the moustache (not sure how that would look with the long hair)...

Excuse me, I have to lie down.

hi BI lol this time it was me!

how are you?

I saw that LA ink the other night, he was very patient, I would be pretty damn livid at her

yep. he looks better filled out a little. More like a man not as boyish if you know what I mean.
He still looks young but better with some meat on his bones. uh huh.

elena said...

Sing the praises of Frank, anon. It's okay. I did notice that the DVD version is different than what was on TV.

On TV when Frank said his band's name was My Chemical Romance they showed a bit of the video Teenagers. It's not on the DVD

Amyranth said...

*giggles at J*

Personally, I prefer the clean-cut Frank. Slightly punky, sorta Revenge Era Frank.

And yes, I like Black Parade Gerard with the white-blonde hair.

Teej, my pluter's been crap for days.

BI, poison ivy? God, you just can't let them out of the house, can you?

Mine went to a Kegger on someone's acreage in the early summer. Got drunk enough that he ran through a firepit for $2. Came home without eyebrows, eyelashes, skin on his knee caps, wearable (in public) jeans, and the $2.

BI, I think he was missing some skin on his nose too. Looked like he'd been standing under two suns all day.

And without the $2!

Carrie, I'm glad to hear it. I hope she's back soon. I think I have her email around somewhere, I should fire her off a note.

Oh God BC, I just read that poison ivy can last up to two weeks! Noooooooo! I cant take him like for two weeks.
Sorry, had to check the hubby was yelling in his sleep

He is making me laugh. he yells alot in his sleep regularly
Anyway, he was just yelling and I asked him what was wrong he said he dreamt he went rolling down our hill into poison ivy and the dog followed him and he was yelling at her to get away.

I am pissing my pants with the image of that in my head. Ep and Amy's hubby's or beaus doing crazy things with flamables

ok, breathe..question Did the eyebrows ever grow back?

My sisters eyebrows however did not. She blew them off trying to light a gas stove, waay back in the day you had to do that (she is alot older than me)
she left the gas on too long and "poof" no eyebrows and they never grew back so I had to ask

Two are artwork by Gerard Way. One is what I like to call evil roses around my wrist. And I have a vampire on my breastbone. Then I have a black widow spider on my neck.

When I saw the swing close-up, Ergo, I nearly fell off my chair! I was like, Oh get that thing out of my face, PLEASE! Dear Heaven.

Yep, he's got the looks the ladies love--and the moves.

*wonders if Frank can play the spoons*

*sincerely hopes NOT*

BI, a soak in an oatmeal bath might help Hubby's itching. You can buy either tablets or powder, it's in the lotion aisle at *gasp* Wal-Mart. It's not breakfast oatmeal, it's colloidal oatmeal, good for taking the itch out of things. It's not too expensive. Aveeno has some, I don't know of any others.

Amyranth said...

Um, I'm not trying to sound sarcastic, but I really didn't know that.

And I'm glad you said it.

eyebrows will grow back unless it's damaged the hair follicles
men have more anyway and the growth slows in women as they age earlier than men

Bye Elena! Bye Fred! Don't turn into a pumpkin, she'll stow you away in the barn with the rest of her collection!

Amy, I knew if I didn't clarify about the oatmeal, SOMEbody would get confused. And somehow I knew it would be you. *pats on head fondly* It's alright, honey, don't worry.

goodnight Fred, see ya elena

J you can put normal oatmeal in a stocking and run it under the faucet, or use it like a soap
but don;t let it loose in the water

Anonymous said...

aha!there had to be some logical explanation
Not very fair that we age before they do. Bastards!


Question: If you had the money and means (dont know if anyone does or doesnt) would you get plastic surgery such as lipo, botox, boob enhancement?

Amyranth said...

Goodnight Fred and Elena!

Well, see J, it's like this.

I take things literally.

Maybe, just maybe, nobody's ever used real oatmeal and maybe it has better itch relief than the other stuff.

Of course, you're talking to the girl who tried to wax her legs with candle wax when she was 14.

Amyranth said...

No.

Anonymous said...

Amy you are too much. 14 with candle wax. I hope you didnt scar yourself. That is NOT funny. Sounds painful.

Original Punk J said...

BI, no. I've had enough necessary surgery to put me off electives for life! Well, if I was in some horrible accident and needed reconstructive surgery, that would be different. But otherwise, no.

Amy, oh bless. So...have you always been special?

Ergo, I didn't know that! "Don't let it loose in the water." Made me think of some dangerous animal! "AAAHHH! AAAHHH! Don't let it loose in the water!"

Sorry, still having some issues here.

ergoproxy said...

Bi I really don't think so, I don't mind if people do (natural looks only though, not extreme) but I doubt I would
never say never though

Amyranth said...

Well BI, let's put it this way.

What I said after I did it can't be repeated, but it starts with A and ends with RRGHHHH!@!! and a bunch of other inventive things in between.

Not a bright thing to do.

And no, luckily I didn't burn myself either, but I also came to the conclusion that anything with wax = bad.

Boy, was I right.

Flash forward 7 years, and I'm trying to wax my legs with real wax in the bathroom. My grandmother is visiting us and here's how it went.

*riiip*

Me: AUGH! Aaah! Aaahhh! Oh, god. That hurt... Oookay...

Nan: *muffles a giggle*

*RIIIIIPPP!*

Me: AAAAUGHHH!!! AAAAAH! OH, SWEET JESUS!

Nan: *laughing hysterically*

After all that, I still had to shave. Left little baby hairs all over my legs.

ergoproxy said...

I am aging pretty well as it is though, which colours my perspective.

plus pain is not something I like, and for no real reason, I think I'd avoid it unless it was something like reconstruction

A-Teens even get boob jobs and lipo when they didnt even need it.
They had a show on the discovery channel about it.Couldnt believe it.
I am sure you look fine and beautiful.:)

When I was 25 or there abouts, I wanted a boob job. Almost got one too.Good thing I didnt get one. I heard they harden and you need to replace them every 10 yrs or so. I would have been screwed, literally.


I would get lipo. I have lost weight and am feeling very good. Still have a little tummy. I hide it well but its still there when I take the camoflage(sp)off.
As for botox and the other cosmetic surgery I would not.

ok, time for me to sleep. it's been fun reading along, everyone. :)

Op J,I agree with you. Why fix what isnt broken.

Ep, I am sure you are fine and beautious. You are young yet anyway.Not a fan of pain either.


A- you are too much. Your poor grandma. Stop it with the wax already. You can get lasered. Ha!
They say the hair wil never grow back at least for a very long time

ergoproxy said...

goodnight TJ sweet dreams


BI but so much can go wrong, camouflage is cheaper and safer (and besides most normal women have a bit of a tummy)
Guys actually don't even look or care and lots like it women are far more critical of their bodies

Original Punk J said...

BI, when L was a nanny, she worked for a family whose mother was obsessed with her figure.

She had lipo ON HER KNEES.

I kid you not. You know the little squishy area on the inside of your leg, next to your knee? That's what she wanted done.

*eye rolling*

Ergo, I'm aging rather well myself, so I don't see any need for extra pain either! I have enough of that, too!

Amy, this is why we love you. *hugs and kisses*

Goodnight TJ! I enjoyed our conversation from earlier. See you tomorrow!

Ergo: yes yes yes. Most men like a little padding--and some men like a LOT of padding! As long as you feel comfortable in your skin, then others will find you attractive as well. I'm somebody with a good amount of padding, but I like the way I look, and let me tell you, lots of guys have liked it too! Lots of men PREFER the "curvy" look. So I say, :P to liposuction. If someone wants to have it, fine, that's up to them. Not me, though, I'm ok.

You are right ep! My hubby says the same thing to me. He says he loves it. I think he's crazy. He is sincere.I believe him.

I probably wouldnt do it anyway. I would be afraid. I've heard horror stories.

When I lost weight one day i said "I have knees!" I was serious and I meant it. I have knees like I used to! Yipee. pfft Lipo on knees indeed!

mayo,

it seems to be one of those nights where if we were in a coffeeshop together somewhere i probably wouldn't stop talking, there are so many things trying to get said.

but pinning them down with this little clicky keyboard?

that doesn't seem possible tonight.


i want to be happy, i want to be grateful. the fear i was carrying around was just a paper tiger after all.

but with it gone...

oh yeah. all that other stuff i wasn't thinking about. you know, the petty details of life? where to live, how to make a living, defining my life's purpose, etc etc etc

too many unknowns, and i have to inch forward into figuring them out.

i'm not ungrateful. i am happy and relieved. of course i am. that's the health question taken care of. it's just that now i have to figure out heart, home, and happiness.

too much confusion. too many ideas. not enough ground to stand on.

i'm going to do my best, but it may take a little while.


and this is how i have nothing to say. *eyeroll*

good night, mayo. i might not have something pretty to spin for you tonight, but you're in my thoughts and prayers, just as you always are.

Mayo

Just a quick goodnight for you. (and the crowd goes wild). I still have so much to do before I go to bed and I have to get up extra early to get my mom to her appointment in the morning. Good Lord, who wants to have surgery at 7 AM? Well hell for that matter who wants to have surgery at all? She’s having eye surgery done and she’s afraid. Crap, I can’t begin to explain how that upsets me. I don’t like my mom to be afraid. Maybe it’s stupid of me but I still think of my mom as the “in charge” woman. The one who always took care of me. Now slowly the roles are being reversed and it terrifies me. It’s not that I don’t want to take care of her. It’s not that at all. It’s just that I realize it means she’s getting older and I don’t want my mama to get old. Silly, isn’t it? I mean that’s just a part of life but it doesn’t mean I have to like it. I don’t like it. I want her to always be strong and healthy. Shit life sucks at times. Oh well, not much to do about that, is there? Anyway I’m talking my laptop along tomorrow and I know where the nearest Starbucks is so while I’m waiting I’ll be able to talk to my friends here. That will help. That always helps.

So maybe I’ll talk to you tomorrow. Or has some shiny new thing caught your attention? (I’m narrowing my eyes at you). Yeah, you.

Night Mayo

I'm off to bed. Goodnight everyone, goodnight amy

Amyranth said...

Bedtime in Blogbelieve.

I come back in from the kitchen, and I notice that it has quieted considerably. Elena has snuck in the back door, shoes off and up the stairs before I can say goodnight. She'll be busy in the morning.

The lights are low in the Great Room. The fire's flame has dozed itself into a lazy quiet, no longer the jumping flash that needed tending and attention hours earlier.

A few empty cups on the tables scattered between chairs are scooped up and placed on the kitchen trolley. Teej's blanket is refolded and replaced on the couch. BC and J's slippers are placed by the Great Room entrance for tomorrow's chat. Blessed Immortal has left a copy of "Poison Ivy: The Devil You Know" on the table, that she had recovered from the Library.
The TV is still on, so I remove the DVD from the player, and shelve it on the CD wall by the fireplace.

One of Ergo's teaching manuals is on the floor by the fire, I'll have to remember to leave it by her door.

I stifle a yawn, and lay myself on the carpet in front of the fire, the final embers warming my feet just enough. It's almost time for bed.

With the house quiet, not a soul awake but myself and a few Anonymice, and Lear, of course, I close my eyes. I take in the silence after a busy day, and I think to myself...

"I wonder if he realizes what this place means? How it feels?"

I sit up, and take the last sip of my warm Chamomile tea, which always does me in and I wonder...

"I hope it does the same thing for him that it does for us. I hope it's normalcy and security."

I poke the logs one last time, convinced the embers are dying, I pull the screen around the facade of the fireplace. As I walk out, I turn out the few lamps in the room, and flick on the porchlight on my way past the stairs and down the hall.

I stop, and turn back.

I whisper up the stairs, quietly so as not to wake anyone.

"Goodnight Mayonaise. See you in the morning."

I check the credenza in the hall too, just in case.

The door to bedroom #13 closes.

And the blog sleeps.

Good morning/afternoon/night Mayo, SS, Amy, Ergo, BC, J, L (via J), Elena, TJ, BI, FASC, Possum, Kass, Sdock, Smoke; various anons, lurkers and watchers; ghost hunters and paranormal investigators in the the land o'blogbelieve!

How is everyone today? Did you all have sweet dreams last night? I hope so!

LOVE is still the MOVEMENT! That makes me happy!!! :D

Amy: You wear WHITE so well! When I saw my doctor last month he actually wrote 'white - as a ghost' on my chart! I kid you not! Perhaps you and I should get some sun. Just a little! ;)
I loved your bedtime story!!! Thank you, Amy!

Ergo: Awww...."Jesamine". *sighs*
and *smoooooooch*

Possum: They don't ALL have to be 'you know what'. Although, it does help! *wink*
Thank you for the Aussies! I liked them very much.

Elena: I hope your mom's surgery goes well. *hugs*

BC: Enjoy "The Dark Knight", sweetcheeks!!!

To read/think about/whatever today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love And Age
Author Unknown

Nurse: “It was a busy morning, approximately 8:30 am,when an elderly gentleman, in his 80’s, presented to have sutures (stitches) removed from his thumb.

He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. I (nurse) took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, we began to engage in conversation. Asked him if he had a doctor’s appointment this morning somewhere else, as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I then inquired as to her health. He told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer Disease. As we talked, and I finished dressing his wound, I asked if she would be worried if he was a bit late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him. “And you are still going every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?” He smiled as he patted my hand and said. “She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.”

I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, “That is the kind of love I want in my life.”

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Have a great day, everyone!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Hey everyone

Well I'm happpy to report I'm at Starbucks sipping Pike Place Roast. Not sure how long Mom's surgery will take. They were pretty vague.

Hope all of you are well.

Have a great day everyone!

toujours said...

ooooh, i see "mayo abbey" on that map! i wonder if that's where we are right now?

*heehee*


elena, i'm sending my "successful surgery" vibes along to your mom. hope everything goes well. :)


ok, so the bad thing about this computer-use agreement i made with my mom is that i don't actually have a lot to do right now. i have a follow-up appt with my surgeon next week, and that's about it. i need to figure out what and where is next, but a lot of that is internet research...

*sigh*

so i spend the day reading and drawing and writing in my journal and basically killing time until i can get back on the computer.

it sounds like a nice vacation but it's frustrating.

/whinge


and good morning blogbelieve! i like how amyranth tucked in the blog last night. it was beautiful.

wonder what mayo's got in the coffeemaker today?

I don't usually drink coffee....but I will try it....I'm still a little illin.

I hope you are feeling much better.

Alas, I am not allowed to consume alcohol until at least the 12th. Oh well! I'll make a cup o'tea and be on my merry way....

Have fun today, everyone!

Rasputins Revenge said...

I can make more money playing and working here I do believe....I have been very busy as of late.

Anon616 said...

I like Kansas! Elena and Mya like Kansas too! Just ask them.

Oh well.....so much for my advice this morning. *pouts*

Okay, now I'm really off. I hope you feel better too! Exactly what were you drinking?

It was Jager, wasn't it?!!

I don't like Kansas.

I know that joke.

It's the same one that takes you a split second longer to get than everyone around you, probably only because you're trying to foil the plan.

You can't have them finding you out.

It's the one that makes you laugh until your sides split open and your insides fall out, and you know that they wish their insides were just as cool.

I think.

Ramble, ramble, ramble.

No charge, the joke's on us.




Later, folks! Later, Mayo! Later, SS!

oops. got distracted looking at bento boxes. now i'm past my morning-puter-curfew!

Anonymous said...

in the MCR store you can buy a TBPID mas for $29.99 each or in bundles of 4 for $99.99 ... i think their overcharging the fans because TBPID sold so poorly, which is a fucked up thing to do to the fans.

According to a friend of mine who is an FMR for Warner, the original plan was to charge somewhere in the neighborhood of $15-$20 for the individual masks. Warner employees knew the masks were going to be offered separately about two months ago, but were told to keep quiet about it so as not to interfere with sales of the LE boxset. The decision to increase the actual price (to $29.99) is most likely due to poor sales figures of the boxset.

These decisions are made by Warner and not the band.

Hey Mayo! This one's for you today. :)

Little Ghost

Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above

The first moment that I met her
I did not expect a specter
When I shook her hand I really shook a glove
She looked into me so sweetly
And we left the room discreetly
No one else could know the secret of our love

Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above

Every morning I awoke
And I see my little ghost
Wondering if it's really her that's lying there
I lean to touch her and I whisper
But not brave enough to kiss her
When I held her I was really holding air

Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above

Though I try my best to keep it
There really was no secret
Must have looked like I was dancing with the wall
No one else could see this apparition
But because of my condition
I fell in love with a little ghost and that was all

Little ghost, little ghost
One I'm scared of the most
Can you scare me up a little bit of love?
I'm the only one that sees you,
And I can't do much to please you
And it's not yet time to meet the lord above
No, it's not yet time to meet the lord above


Ummm, yeah. The White Stripes. Who'd have thunk it?

Heh.

Sucks for the people who bought extra boxed sets hoping to sell them on ebay. Oh well. I guess only Warner gets to screw over the MCR fans on this one. Or rather, their parents.

I don't remember. Oh well, oh well, oh well. If I did, you got it twice. :)

Where is you? O_o

Miss ya! Hope you're doing okay today. Later tater.

elena said...

Hey again

Uh Triston don't talk bad about Kansas. I went on a ski trip with those guys. LOL

Thanks everyone for the well wishes for mom. She's doing good.

Anon about the boxed sets - I've already sold three of them on e-bay for way more than I paid so no worries there.

Original Punk J said...

Hey Elena, I'm glad to hear your mom's ok. Cataract surgery is usually not complicated and doesn't take too long. I'm glad she's ok. :)

Amy, I loved your goodnight last night. While I read it, I could feel the Castle settling down around us all, like a big cocoon. It was comforting. Thanks for creating that atmosphere.

HEY WENDY! And *whispers* hey Triston. Hello Possum too!

And everyone else: Ergo, FarAway, TJ, Mustard, Smoke, SDock, hello and goodbye for now!

Just running through on my way otherwheres. See some of you tonight!

Mayo: stay out of trouble.

SS: let's go MAKE some trouble! ;)

BYEEEEEEEEE!

Amyranth said...

Hey PP!

I liked your map! County Mayo, eh?

What happens in County Mayo?

Ballintubber - Where Mayo goes to get washed up for the day.

Ballinrobe - Where Mayo relaxes after a hard day's work.

Belmullet - Where Mayo goes for a haircut. (I've got an ape drape, yes I do....)

Drummin - What Mayo does when he's really bored. Usually at 3am on Sunday.

Foxford - What Mayo drives when he needs to get from place to place, very quietly.

Newport - When Mayo's tired of the Oldport

Partry - What Mayo gets invited to from time to time.

Castlebar - Where Mayo goes for refreshments.

Knock - What Mayo rarely has to do at the door.

Cross - Where Mayo goes on a bad day.

Hollymount - What Mayo does for Christmas. (Don't go there!!)

Tourmakeady - What I just did with the Map of County Mayo!


Wendy!! Why in the name of GOD would I ever want to tan? My super-white skin is the only level of purity I have, obviously it's not coming from my brain!

I had a co-worker who used to scream when I'd walk outside on a sunny day. We had to wear dark clothes to work, so dark clothes + super pale skin = AUGH!

No problem. Once in awhile it all comes together and I can write something that isn't complete tripe, eh?

FASC! You're the one that plays the music really loud? Dear God, girl. CRANK IT UP!

Amyranth said...

Um, Anon, she can't control how much people are willing to bid for the boxed set.

Much as I can't control how much someone will bid for a piece of jewelery that I made.

elena said...

Is that what you think anon? No, that's not what I did at all. I offered a boxed set that was not a "Guess what mask you'll get." There are many people who want a certain mask and are happy to pay more to get what they want. I offer them that chance and charge them only EXACT shipping. Hell, I even pay to insure the item.

elena said...

Oh and did it ever occur to you that the people buying these from me could have got them from Warner?

They want to know what mask they are getting.

elena said...

Thank you Amy. That really pissed me off. I buy and resell. The only items I will ship worldwide are MCR things because I want fans everywhere to have a chance to bid. Not a lot of sellers will do that. I always charge exact shipping. I never add any thing to that so the packing materials I pay for.

Ok - end of rant

Original Punk J said...

Don't fret about it, E. Just another bitter "Gerard is the Anti-Christ", used-to-be fan who feels they have a moral obligation to subvert the rest of us. :D

elena said...

Hi J

Sorry that just really got to me, you know? Yeah, in a perfect world I'd just give the damn things away. I'd like to do that but it's the fact that sometimes I have to have money to put food on the table that causes problems.

Amy, you're out of my league now. Good luck with that!

Gots to split for now. See you both later, I hope?

Elena, get another Starbucks, and a couple bean burritos. Maybe that'll help a little. :)

Love you ladies! *kisses*

Anonymous said...

I think all the masks are equally awesome, but I guess its only natural that some fans might want to get their hands on their favorite mask.

Amyranth said...

See you later J!

Anon, I agree. A lot of hard work was put into them, and they all look well done. If they had shipped to Canada, I'd have ordered, but to be honest, I'm trying to hunt down the Vinyl right now.

I should run too, only two more days of work left, I'm sure I can go!

See you girls later tonight!

I thought music was supposed to bring people together, give us all a reason to bond.

It's not supposed to seperate us and make us intolerant.

Pisses me off.



And I'm not bragging or anything, but I'm pretty sure my one-of-a-kind "This Is Ray Toro's Mask, I Promise" mask is the best one.

Just sayin'. ;)

So today I had to take Daddy K to the eye doctor because he was losing his vision in one eye. It ends up he's got a torn retina and they have to fix it with a laser ASAP, meaning tomorrow.

The same thing happened to Mummy K a few years back, only her retina spontaneously came unattached. The lady who makes the appointments at the eye doctor told her it wasn't too big of a deal and gave her an appointment for three weeks later. By then it was so bad that they couldn't do the laser and she had to have total eye surgery which messed up her vision forever.

But with Daddy K, he went today so they can repair it totally.

Anonymous said...

Oh gosh, Jules! It's good that they will be able to fix it. :)

Anonymous said...

Yeah, and Daddy K has a tendency to not tell people what's up so that they don't panic, which leads to more panic and me going, "I wonder if there are other symptoms that he's not telling me about. Like maybe it's not just a detached retina."

But that's 'cause I worry like it's my job.

You know 2:25, I can't help the feeling I get that when JU says that Gerard is "fun" it translates into "sits there looking hopeful while I make fun of him, his band and his past efforts, obviously thinking that I'm laughing WITH him and not AT him." That's the feeling that douchenozzle gives me.

And it's a shame, because MCR really did mean something, really was a force for change, and really is one of the best bands of the decade.

Whereas MSI hasn't really said anything that I haven't already heard from hardcore right wing conservatives, the KKK, drunken retarded fratboys, Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reilly; are less "punk" than my first grade teacher; are as compelling as wall to wall carpeting; and have about as much edge as bathtub mold.

Not to mention that I could give Jimmy Urine my hair to hold and still kick his skank ass.
