Good tidings.

Hammer
and hammer again
Louder
and louder still
Listen
and listen again
until you have heard everything that I have to say
And so I stay

and what I found
while at your side
was the moon all along
smooth calcified cockles
and a tangled mass of slime
a child’s bucket bobbing out to sea
Some of it stays
some of it goes











p.s. would I?













(Such a peculiar word, isn't it?)

hey thanks mustard he's a talented fellow

Okay Ergo

I'm drinking so much water I feel waterlogged.

Soup sounds nice. Why the hell do you live so far away?

Thank you for explaining the other comment anon.

ergoproxy said...

lol
it's a pain isn't it!

have you been eating? make sure you have something every now and then.



anon I don't really see what you're getting at

elena said...

Ergo I just ate a can of cold spinach. That was not a good plan. It sounded good at the time but now...not so good!

Amyranth said...

Euw. I didn't even know that they made cold spinach.

:S

ergoproxy said...

ummmmmm I don't think cold spinach sounds good ....ever

can you have some toast or something?
you could have some vegemite on it, that's the tried and true aussie solution to the "what to eat as I feel sick?" dilemma

Amyranth said...

I like peanut butter on caramel rice cakes.

Great for an upset tummy.

Or a handful of dry cheerios.

Original Punk J said...

Elena, mashed potatoes are always good when you're sick. Also Jell-O. And soup. And Sprite. And crackers.

But not spinach. Especially not straight from the can. :P

Hey everybody, how's it going? Ergo, we're getting ready to send you a voice-email, so check your inbox in a few. Did you by chance get anything in the mail from, uh, TN?

elena said...

Amyranth said...
Euw. I didn't even know that they made cold spinach.


Oh Lord Amy that made me giggle. How else would it come out of a can?

Yeah, so it wasn't a good choice. Maybe I'll try toast.

Amyranth said...

Mmm.. mashed potatoes..

Amyranth said...

Ergo, mind boggling.

They set a budget for $23,000 and went over by $33,500. For a wedding.

Oh well. What's everyone up to tonight? I had a really nice footsoak earlier.

Anon at 9.25 PM tonight:

The object of your love is truly lucky. You put such emotion in your words; they moved me to tears. I can imagine how your love feels, knowing you love them so deeply.

Thank you both for sharing your beautiful words here. They have touched my heart in a million places.

toujours said...

i'm not too bad, ergo. oh hey! i finally read the skies of pern. it was pretty good -- a little scattered because of all the different story threads (no pun intended! lol), but still a good read, and a satisfying wrap-up.

i can't believe it took me so long to get to it. :/

Original Punk J said...

I'm not eating, Amy. Might do so in a few minutes, though. Would you like to share my pretzels?

Ergo, L asked me to tell you she can't get the message to go through. She'll work on it tomorrow. Sorry! :(

Very nice of you J, thank you!

that's ok J I'll look forward to it when it gets there :)


Will winnie get what winnie wants?
-sounds like the tease at the end of a soap opera

toujours said...

no, that's very true, ergo -- the whole series takes you in the past and the present of this world, it's very thorough. what i like is how it fits into the same galaxy as the rest of her books.

it's a good example in world-building, definitely.

Original Punk J said...

Anon: no, I don't think it's from them. Call it a gut feeling.

Ergo, TJ, is that book in the Dragonriders of Pern series? By Anne McCaffrey? My sister read those a long time ago, said they were really good. I haven't read them myself.

Amyranth said...

J, did you check your email?

they are J you should read them they are wonderful books

Sleep! Cast thy canopy
Over this sleeper's brain,
Dim grow his memory,
When he wake again.

Love stays a summer night,
Till lights of morning come;
Then takes her winged flight
Back to her starry home.

Sleep! Yet thy days are mine;
Love's seal is over thee:
Far though my ways from thine,
Dim though thy memory.

Love stays a summer night,
Till lights of morning come;
Then takes her winged flight
Back to her starry home.

The Moon Maiden's Song

wee willie wanted to stay awake


"Hey, Willie Winkie, are you coming in?
The cat is singing purring sounds to the sleeping hen,
The dog's spread out on the floor, and doesn't give a cheep,
But here's a wakeful little boy who will not fall asleep!"

Anything but sleep, you rogue! glowering like the moon,
Rattling in an iron jug with an iron spoon,
Rumbling, tumbling round about, crowing like a cock,
Shrieking like I don't know what, waking sleeping folk.

"Hey, Willie Winkie - the child's in a creel!
Wriggling from everyone's knee like an eel,
Tugging at the cat's ear, and confusing all her thrums
Hey, Willie Winkie - see, there he comes!"

Weary is the mother who has a dusty child,
A small short little child, who can't run on his own,
Who always has a battle with sleep before he'll close an eye
But a kiss from his rosy lips gives strength anew to me.

Mayo

Okay just be warned. I’m running a fever cause I’m sick with who knows what. And when I run a fever it’s really hard for me to concentrate. I can get kinda weird. Which is of course not to say I’m not weird all the time. I think the word I’m looking for is weirder. Oh and I always think I’m dying when I have a fever. Yep, pretty sure the Grim Reaper is breathing down my neck. See I’m having a halfway lucid moment right now and I realize I’m like this. It won’t last. So I better type faster.

So anyway, even though I’m sick I went on a bike ride today. When I say bike I’m talking Harley. It was pretty nice. I love the feel of the wind whipping through my hair. Pisses him off cause I won’t wear a skullcap. I’m sorry, have you seen those things? Holy crap I put one on and it just looks horrible. What if there was an accident? I don’t wanna look that bad while I lay bleeding. (Fever, remember I have a fever. Even I know that sounded stupid). So back to the ride. We took off and ended up at some biker bar. Funny thing is this is the kind of place that would have scared the shit out of me a few years ago. Now I just walk in without a thought. Hell, I sorta fit in. Tattoos and weird hair. Yeah, I blended. We ordered lunch and had a few beers. I decided to use the restroom before we took off and there were these biker chicks in there. I said hello and they nodded. Suddenly one asked me about my tee-shirt. I was wearing a MCR shirt. I told them about the band and suggested they listen to REVENGE. Me, I like Black Parade but somehow Revenge seemed more like the album to suggest. As I walked back to the table it hit me. Here I was doing something that’s pretty much his scene and yet I was in a small way incorporating what I like. As we were leaving one of the women asked me again for the name of the CD. If you could have seen the look on his face. Oh, it was priceless. Once we reached the bike he wanted to know why she had asked me that. I explained that I had told them about MCR cause they’d asked. He rolled his eyes but had the good sense not to say anything. Yep, it was a pretty good day.

Mayo, hope your day was good. Hope you always hold on to the things that are important to you tightly and aren’t afraid to share them because you think that others won’t get it. Oh hell, here goes…Be true to yourself and never try to be something you’re not. You can fit in anywhere and still not lose yourself. So did this make any sense? I mean it does to me but I’ve got a fever so that makes my judgment a bit off.

Night Mayo

Elena (even if the skullcap looked good I still would want the wind in my hair)

all my dreams
pass before my eyes a curiosity
dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

Same old song
just a drop of water
in the endless sea
all we do
crumbles to the ground
though we refuse to see
dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind

Now, don't hang on
nothing last forever
but the earth and sky
it slips away

And all your money
won't another minute buy

Dust in the wind
all we are is dust in the wind
dust in the wind
everything is dust in the wind

UPDATE FROM GERARD

Hey guys,

Gerard here... I'm hanging out with Mikey in New Jersey, relaxing, drinking coffee, talking comics, and getting ready to take a drive down south tomorrow. I don't know what states I'm passing through but I know where I'm heading. Don't worry I've got a the Clockwork Orange audiobook, a Dr. Pepper air-freshener, and a GPS so I don't get lost. We figured b now everyone that's a fan of the band might be wondering what we're up to, what we're planning, so I thought I'd write this letter and fill you all in.

We're living, decompressing- The Black Parade took over two years to tour and six months to make so that's a lot of existing in a fictional world, and we're just extremely happy to live in a real one for a while. One thing I can let you know is that we're excited. Genuinely more excited then we have ever been to be in this band, make some new music. Genuinely more excited then we have ever been in this band, make some new music. And we have ALL been writing new material in our own separate worlds... I started a week after I got home, buying a good rig, an old Jag, and a bunch of pedals- just searching for the next sound.

Bob is recovering well from his recent wrist surgery- exceedingly well considering how risky the procedure can be. We're all really happy that when he picks up the sticks again he won't be in the intense pain he was in during the last year of touring. It's going to take him a while to rehabilitate but know him, he will most likely be playing the drums before the doctor says it's a good idea. He just loves playing, we all do. Franks on the road with Leathermouth and Reggie and The Full Effect so you should go see them and get spit on. I know Leathermouth doesn't have a record out yet, but Frank gave it to me in Mexico and I can easily say it's my favorite post-hardcore record of the year, so I know you will at least enjoy the songs if you don't know the words.

One of the best parts of the last five months was getting to see Ray get married and all of us be a part of the wedding. It was beautiful. I'm not sure where the happy couple is right now but I am sure wherever they are, they are really enjoying it. I have never seen him happier in my life. So we made plans to get together soon and make some demos, see where our heads are at, take it slow. If explosions happen in our heads right away who knows how soon we could have a record out, we aren't in any rush but we get just as anxious as you to find out what the next "thing is going to be.

So that about wraps it up... I'm glad I could stop by for a chat, I think I will do it more often. I'm writing more comics, writing more music, and missing my wife right now. Oh, and I heard a rumor that I died in a car accident.
I didn't.
xo.

mayo,

today was a good day, but for some reason tonight turned a bit lonely.

i wandered outside. it was darker than usual, and to be honest, i felt a bit spooked. but then i saw her, the waning moon rising over the field, a deep ruddy orange.

then it was okay. then the night took on its proper dimensions, and i sat and watched her glide higher in the sky, her glow occasionally defused by clouds.

it's a little cooler now. the main heat of summer that so startled and enticed me has peaked, i think. i can't believe i've been here that long. it's not as noisy either, but there is still a night chorus, and tonight it was joined by an owl up in the trees behind me.

i even was treated to a shooting star.

sitting there, watching the dark shapes take on form as my eyes adjusted to the night, looking at the stars, watching the moon -- it was comforting, and yet, lonesome, too.

i talked to my gods (and you, of course), i watched the clouds drift in, i wondered why and how and would it be forever, like this?

and no answers, just solemn observation of the tangles i find myself in. eventually, it all has to work out. eventually, i will find my place. eventually...

won't it?

i'm suspended between the halves, between belief and disbelief, between hope and despair, between courage and cowardice. i walk the wet sand at the edge of shore, neither on the land nor in the sea.

there's a shape standing in among the trees, there just inland from me. i think it might be me, but i can't see her clearly. i would go over to her, but i'm tied to tracing this line between the worlds, at the moment.

i'm going to do my damnedest to figure her out, though, just you wait and see.



oh dear. it's a rambling night isn't it? that's what i get for writing in the castle so late, i suppose.

off to bed, then.

good night, mayo. sweet dreams.

I just saw that on myspace
wow what a great little letter, so glad they are all doing well, I bet Bob is happy the surgery went well, the wrist is such a complex joint, it'll be great if he can tour properly and play without pain, and ray got married ! Congratulations to him, I bet he smiled the whole time, I hope wherever they are, they are having a fabulous time. And we've heard about Leathermouth haven't we girls! Sounds like the tour is going great guns and the fans here will be drooling waiting for the new album. And how great the brothers are having some time together, sounds lovely and relaxing and good to know he didn't die, kinda freaky if he was writing letters, can't wait to see new comics from both and to hear the sound they all develop next.

and I assume the repeat is a little typo, and what does a Dr Pepper air freshener smell like? I've tasted it and not sure if I'd want my car to smell of it.
But hope he has a safe journey, audio books are a great travel companion

Sounds like he's hit the bury himself in busy work stage of avoidance.
"Look everyone, see how busy I am, busy, busy, busy. Writing lots of music, in fact everyone is, even though I don't know where Toro is, Bob can't pick up a drumstick and Frank's touring with another band. Busy, busy, busy. No problems at all."

Yayness for Gerard, Mikey, Frank, Ray, and Bob getting some down time!

Two words for Gerard on his road trip...Johnny Cash.

Audiobooks are nice and all, but you got to kick some music every now and then.

sdock10 said...

BlogBelievers,

Have a nice Monday.

Crank up your music really loud and stay warm in your little cubicle or bed or corner of the world.

Mwah! Mwah!

sdock10 said...

Mayo,

Have a kickass Monday, dude! Kick that motherfucker right into the next one!

Gotta go! Running out of time!

Love to YOU Always,
S

p.s. I think I will hop aboard the J Train and then catch the E Train.

hiya sdock


I love driving to the best of ZZ Top, really loud, lol

though last long trip was accompanied by MUSE from Showbiz to HAARP
long enough for a 5 hr trip!

have a good monday



anon , could be, but hope not, he sounds happy, maybe he just is; nothing more complex

ergoproxy said...

Mayo hope your week is a great one. Still amuses me to think I'm always a day ahead,and cupcake is the same though PP is a couple of hours ahead of us. But to the majority of blogbelieve I'm always in tomorrow, except for a few hours each night. Curious to think about, imagining the planet in it's continuous orbit, tilted to give us winter, you summer. The dawn travelling around the globe, dusk following later. as the sun rises also it sets. It just depends where you are as to when it happens. But I look up and see the same moon, the same sun, some of the same stars. The air that's blown all over the world, becoming part of different people, animals and plants, cycling endlessly. Remember that as you breathe in, you are sharing the same molecules that have touched others,in so many places. Some are assimilated into our bodies, some merely pause before journeying onto another. But all of us are connected by those same needs, the basic building blocks of our lives. And sometimes, if we are lucky enough we find another, or some special others with who we can share more. We can see parts of ourselves, shaped in a different age, a different place or a different gender, and we can share something that cannot be described as mere biology, that links us in a way beyond reason. Perhaps we meet for a short time, perhaps for a lifetime, but every connection should be seen as an opportunity to leave the world a better place.
Mayo , wishing you connections to those you need and those who need you, those you can touch and those who touch you, those you become part of and those who become part of you
much love EP xx


SS keep your head held high, your heart pure and your thoughts focussed out to encompass all around you

WWE Smackdown?

See what you're missing out on if you don't go to this show? I ♥ those guys. ^_^

Morning Mayo! Morning SS! Morning BlogBelieve!

I can't wait to actually have a Leathermouth cd to listen to while I get road rage. I especially can't wait to hear Leviathan again. That one sounds uber-cool live.

So, my favorite song to drive to would have to be Thank You for the Venom. Hands down. And I've heard alot. *Gerard voice*

Speaking of Mr. Way, I'm glad he seems happy and he's been spending time with Mikey and whatnot. An old Jag, eh? Figures. ^_~ He's not lying about being being spit on either.

Congrats to Toro! YAY!

Alright later peeps.

XOXO

ergoproxy,

If he's avoiding dealing with a problem, it's actually a good thing because it means that on some level he's aware that there is a problem and the escalation (ie. sending out myspace bulletins about how busy you are) means that things could be coming to a head.

left a bit of the last sentence off

and progressing to being fixed.

Gerard's myspace bulletin sounds nothing like Mayo, does it?

Nope. Not Mayo at all.

Anonymous said...

Gerard must be going south to join the wifey for the show at the Orange Peel in NC. Probably in the hopes that some people will actually come to the show.

Anonymous said...

He'll probably be at DragonCon in Atlanta as well. I'm sure the stalkers are already gearing up for that.

Funny how the wifey complains about little girls coming to see her show hoping for a glimpse of him and then he tells all his fans (in a roundabout way, of course) that exactly where he's going to be.

They're both so full of shit.

Gerard uses run-on sentences and doesn't close his quotation marks. Obv, he has no interest in Strunk & White.

Well, duh. None of the longtime fans who used to read his old online diary ever thought Gerard was Mayo. Only the n00bs who knew next to nothing about him could have ever thought he would write this girly drivel.

MissTottenham said...

Hi everyone, how are you?

I'm not staying, just popping in before I have my tea (dinner to you Americans).

I haven't been online this weekend so this is the first opportunity for me to say:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERGO! I hope you had a great day.

So sorry to hear that the cost of your course is causing you problems BC. That is why I never went back to Uni last year. Why does it have to cost so much? Don't lose hope, look into every avenue to get you where you want to be.

Mya, so soryy to hear about the job. I have my fingers crossed that you can get your financial situation sorted quickly.

Bye for now, food is calling. See you all later.

MissTottenham said...

Mya, soryy = sorry.


Duh on me.

MissTottenham said...

Also, great pics K. They look cool with you guys all in silhouette.



OK off for food now. See you later.

Anonymous said...

Longtime fans? What longtime fans?

Didn't they all leave after TBP came out?

toujours said...

good morning. not much going on today. got my searches done and now it's time to head off the computer.

whoever posted the myspace letter from gerard way, thank you. i'm signed up with warner mcr list, but it's always a toss-up if i'll get the posts or not, and usually when i do, it's late. :/

it's neat to hear some news.

okey-doke. time to go back to the real world. see you guys later.

bye blogbelieve.

bye mayo.

*comes in singing*
"I live the days of war
I live the nights of love
I suffer to survive
I gotta gotta gotta stay alive
I hear the battle cries
Their fists are in the sky
I know what I'm fighting for..."

^It's a PAPA ROACH kind of day!^

Good morning/afternoon/night Mayo, SS, Ergo, Mya, MissT, 9:16, TJ; anyone I missed; various anons, watchers and lurkers; all ZZtops fans and sharp dressed men in the land o'blogbelieve!

Ergo: *smoooooooooch*

Mya: *huge hug* It's so good to 'see' you. I hope you're feeling a lot better today!

MissT: It's great to 'see' you as well! Did you get that picture yet? ;)

Amy: O_O You hate W's? No, no, no! You must not hate the W! It's a perfectly good letter. I'm sure you do not realize this; but, my name begins with one of those W's! ;)
You've seen CoF twice? Lucky lady! I've only seen them once and once is not nearly enough!

9:25 poet: That is one of the most beautiful poems I've ever read (and I've read plenty)! I hope they catch up to themselves (and you) soon!

For pondering consideration today:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Portrait of a Friend
Author Unknown

I can't give solutions to all of life's problems, doubts, or fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we can seek answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain, nor the future with it's untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happinesses are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter and joy.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow, room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hoping you all have a hand to grasp when you stumble, someone to help you cry and someone to help you pick up those pieces and glue them back together!

Have a great day, everyone!

Hugs and Love,
~Namaste~

Ooops, I forgot to say:

Elena: That was a wonderful story! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying yourself - a bit - despite being sick! Get well soon!

J, L and Ergo: I don't know if I've ever told you this; so, here it is:
I love your goodnights to Mayo and SS too! They always make me smile. Thank you!

NOM NOM lunch.

I am trying to get a nice, meaningful gift package set up for the lovely Kung Fu friends who came to my photo party. I am using OpenCanvas to try to make some really interesting pictures, or to salvage ones that came out too dark etc.

I hope to have it done by the time I have to go to Kung Fu tonight.

If you guys don't mind I would like to share some of them with you. Most of them were too dark, but some came out beautifully, and some are just plain funny. ^_^

Smoke said...

So, how's this for weird?

LHM almost sets our house on fire last night and this morning one of my friend's homes burned to the foundation.

I feel so bad for her. :(

They lost everything.

Anonymous said...

OK so he got a mention of wifey in but that is all part of the rules of being married i suppose!
Yep. It appears mentioning his wife as much as possible is actually part of the contractual agreement of them being married.

That whole letter reeks of "Come and see MSI perform - you might see me there!"

He realy does think his fans are dumb, doesn't he?

Say that a few more times, Gerard, and maybe you'll convince yourself it's true.

^Also, it's a good thing for Gerard that you don't have to be very good with grammar and syntax to write comics.

MissTottenham said...

Hi everyone, how are you?

LOL sorry Wendy, no piccie as yet.

Smoke, that is so sad. Guess you had a lucky escape. Spooky coincidence though.

K, bring on the pics.

Hello anon, or mulitple anons, I never can tell. Gormless like that you see.

Princess, I'm so sorry about your friend and her house. That happened to a friend of mine about thre eyears ago. She was running a shelter for abandoned animals. I don't have to tell you how bad that was. I'm sorry.

farawaysoclose said...

hello everyone!

not made it in yet today!

hope we are all doing OK?

elena hope you are feeling better?

mya i am sorry to hear about your job.

nice to read GW. i am glad he has spent some time with Mikey away from LA. great to hear that all the guys are doing alright. and Ray got married!! fantastic! and Bob got through the surgery, thank goodness.

when he said he was driving south i thought he may be off to see leathermouth, but the probability that it is MSI is much higher i guess. oh well, no accounting for taste!

hi K, princess, miss T, anons and anyone else!

princess you better watch that little man of yours!! and i am sorry to hear about your friend's house. that must be just devastating, but atleast they are all alright yes?

oh and hello to you mayo!! you good?
