HAHAHAHAHHAHA....BEST NEW EVER!!!
MARK HOPPUS ANNOUNCED ON THE GRAMMYS TONIGHT THAT BLINK 182 IS BACK TOGETHER!!!
This was an entry I wrote after I had bought the Blink 182 Greatest Hits CD when it was released and it had finally kicked in that they were finished. I probably would take back some of the stuff I said, but a lot of it is still true...but its still interesting to me how emotional and hurt I was about them breaking up.
November 21, 2005:
I went out and got your new CD the moment I could. I had to wait until after work, since there are no music stores open at 6 am. I ran inside, bought it and opened it right away. It was good to see two songs I didn't know. Kind of shocking, cuz I claim to know everyhing by you guys. I opened the booklet and was excited to see pics or something cool, but found just lyrics...that fine, whatever. I flipped to the THANKS and read them and started crying. "Thanks to all the fans. You're the greatest fans we could have asked for. We love you from the bottom of our hearts." I was pissed off and so sad the whole ride home.
And I love you too, Blink 182. I don't think you understand.
Blink 182, you changed my life. You're the stole reason I am the person I am today. You impacted me so much. You had to do with everything I did, and everything I said. Everything I looked forward too. I liked Green Day but was a huge rap fan when you guys came out. Can you imagin if I never heard you and still listened to rap? You're the reason my best friend and I are best friends. Your the reason I wasn't too depressed in middle school, because you made me feel almost normal, when I knew I was different. I didn't want to grow up and be serious, and I hated school and didn't want to go to college and I didn't smoke weed and drink...but you made me feel ok about it. You're even the reason I like ska music. Thanks to Travis for being in the Aquabats and me going and getting that CD. That even started my love of ska!
I started crying because it finally hit me that you guys are done. I'll never see you again live. There will be no other CD's that I wait in line to buy. I'll never finally meet you and tell you this to your faces. When you got popular and everyone called you sell outs and turned against you, I was there. I didn't like you less at all. But you guys got selfish and started making new bands and TV shows. You got marriefd and had kids, understandable, but why fuck up the band you had going by thinking of yuorselves?
I love you Blink 182. You'll always be my favorite band, even if people think less of me because of it...I am me because of you guys and your music, so they wouldn't like me anyway.
I wish you were still together. I'll miss you.
Some Fan.
-me.
PS: no I didn't like send them this or anything...this was just my way of saying how I felt, please don't leave me lame comments.
