who would buy a doll of me just to burn it or a fall out boy cd just to break it, i dont understand
im pretty stoked to hear guns n roses are going to have out a new single out finally september 14th. does anyone know where i can download it early? just kidding..after bitching about how my last cd leaked like a month in advance i wouldnt encourage doing it to another artist. (pm me any links...) but i mean, put the two together... i host an mtv show that premieres videos. and guns n roses are coming out with a new single. OMG. if they come out with a video i really really hope we can get it on fn mtv. and no not just so i can meet axl rose. seriously.
...okok. i dont think i am fooling anyone. i want to meet axl rose, and NOT just watch him walk by in the hallway with my jaw dropped in awe. that happened the last time i was in the same building as him. his music has changed my life and shaped me probably as much as michael jackson. but JUST the music, not the lifestyle or sexuality preferences thnx.
honestly im just excited for some good music again. every song anymore feels kinda dated, you know what i mean? like it was made for the summer or that time period that it was out, and its really hard to hear it after that because it takes you back to either a really bad time, or it just doesnt even fit anything anymore. i really miss songs with a lasting sound to them and the new academy is album seems to be pulling that off. nothing against anyone currently with a hit single for summer, but sometimes i kind of wonder if theyre marketed and picked to be a single because theyre catchy but they have no real depth or meaning to them, or it will be a hit for a few months and then everyone will change the station when it comes on the radio. i mean think anything by nickelback, "closing time" or "sugar were goin down"... only a few bands have actually managed to make timeless songs AND they include like an actual year in them, like "party like its 1999", "summer of 69" (though im sick of hearing that song) and "1979." hopefully you get what i mean. like "closing time" is alright but i cant stand hearing it anymore it was played so much. there are only a few hit songs that i like past maybe a month of hearing them. maybe this is just the lack of sleep talking, but unfortunately once i post this i cant edit it because i think thats why comments disappear. that has been happening to most of my entries so im gonna try not to edit this one and see if that happens or not. its really kind of annoying it keeps happening but oh well.
currently i am hanging in chicago right now as i write this. home sweat home- its not as humid as i thought it would be but its still pretty hot. i missed the midwest and i hope it missed me. got a lot planned for this weekend while im in town, mostly angels and kings stuff. already caught lolla today and lost my wallet haha. luckily i got it back with only my dignity missing. oh wait thats been lost since 2003... or... did i ever have dignity? oh well. i cant sleep so i figured id get my update done now, been out all day and even tho im tired i cant see myself laying down in bed and actually falling asleep. dont you hate that? and im sick of taking pills to replicate sleep so i guess ill just tough it out. it feels like there is too much life to live and too many things to do in a day for sleep anyway. oh and in a gas station a few hours ago there was this person standing behind me with a baby and i heard the baby hiccup and oh my god i just cant wait to hear my own kid, hold them. its going to be insane and im excited. too much on my mind for sleep anyway.
apparently the fobots need oiled up. we are a bit rusty and not working quick enough haha. currently not sweating it too much. weve spent the past few weeks mostly hanging out at patricks place to work on some new songs and a few other projects were cooking up that arent new song related. since our label is starting to get on our ass about not having done jackshit with the band since like 2007 really (unless you count beat it- but even mtv forgot about that one!), we feel its only fair to our fans to get our butts in gear. we have a fall tour scheduled with like six dates in october and its supposed to be to promote our new album. yeah isnt that funny, we dont even have it done yet. blah. hopefully it doesnt suck because its all thrown together or we dont have to cancel the shows on the fans for whatever reason. we love the fans for hanging in there and we really do owe them some new material and some live shows again. besides i miss being on tour so much, the show we did for victorias secret a few weeks back was like a teaser. to us moreso than the fans.
in spending so much time over at patricks i joke about his neighbors thinking hes into dudes and that im his boyfriend. i always try to give patrick a heart attack by saying i want to go out in the hallway in just a towel and knock on his neighbors doors and ask for a cup of sugar or milk to see what they do. like if rumors start to spread around the building about patrick being gay. i like how its like a game to me. he gets so pissed off omg its funny. one time im going to wake patrick up bright and early and say i did and the neighbor i asked just screamed and shut the door in my face. dude that reminds me of the one neighbor of his that was like pacing around in the hallway screaming ARRRRRUUUUGHHHHHHH or some shit. maybe it was a ghost. obviously i didnt look to see. im not really used to being anywhere where you can hear other people in the house or the same building so its like an adventure to me. i kind of missed having a "roommate" other than rigs and hemmy. sucks living alone.
but while brainstorming all these new songs and stuff- i decided if we had a new single out, we would need to film a new video. so that said, here are ideas i came up with for future videos. and no, i havent sprung them on the band yet. this is just mostly just to kill a paragraph in this update dead:
a couple future fall out boy video ideas:
- i am cheating with this one, i didnt think it up while i was awake. i actually had this pretty badass dream where we were playing underwater and there was an ariel view down to the stage we were playing on- like with electric guitars and all- dreams dont have to make sense. but i had to keep swimming up to the top of the ledge to climb out cos a shark kept trying to eat me between takes. at least it was polite and didnt try while we were filming.
- maybe one with lots of fucking explosions. just nothing but buildings blowing up, cars flipping over and exploding. shit like that. itll make you feel more manly than watching espn in your underwear with one hand down your boxers and the other on a beer.
if you got any throw em my way and then sue me later when it slips my mind to credit you. fall out boy has always been about making really good videos (at least after 2005...) but now being the host of an mtv show premiering them i feel our next ones really have to step up. i wonder how that would work, premiering my own video on my own show. weird.
im new to this parenting thing but having a kid on the way really alters your way of thinking and how you handle things and act. you view everything differently- well usually you do, but earlier this week i realized i still have some growing up to do. next wednesday when we film fn mtv one of the guests is going to be a group named morningwood. ive made so many morningwood jokes its not even funny and im pretty sure someone will end up punching me in my large easy target mouth. "hey guys morningwood is going to pop up" "morningwood showed up at night" and so on. its funny to me but im like 5, i know. sometimes on fn mtv and in life in general i dont know who i embarrass more- bands on the show, my friends or myself.
enough of that, this update is pretty much done. yeah i could talk about the update challenge which is love vs hate, but i kinda think you need both to exist, thats all i really want to say on the topic. only having one or the other will kill you or make your life extremely boring. which is back to my original point because im pretty sure boredom really would kill you. love and hate are both really strong emotions. maybe ill get into it more next update, but this one is long enough and boring enough as it is.
patrick: i dont know how you arent going nuts
pete: because i already AM nuts
pete: there is no going to where you already are
pete: thats like
pete: im going to go to the living room
pete: stands up
pete: sits down
pete: oh hey here i am
off to go not sleep, hope everyone else is getting some for me. sleep, that is. xo pete
ps- oh yeah speaking of hate check out this and the related videos for a few laughs:
