ugh yeah i know 2 posts in like an hour.
but i'm sick of this.
i'm sick of livejournal.
I'm sick of the tai lj, and fbr_secrets, and fbr_trash, and tai_secret, and every single FBR rumor and conspiracy and complaint out there.
can you fucking like bands for their music, or are you letting their actions, or so-called actions, bias your opinion?
WHO THE FUCK CARES IF BECKETT HAS A BABY.
WHO THE FUCK CARES IF CARDEN IS A DICK.
WHO THE FUCK CARES IS RYAN ROSS DRINKS.
WHO THE FUCK CARES IF BRENDON DID DRUGS.
WHO THE FUCK CARES IF RYAN'S DATING THAT SLUT, AND PETE'S STILL DATING THAT BITCH, AND GABE'S SUPPOSEDLY GAY FOR WILLIAM, AND THIS PROVIDENCE IS THE ONLY GOOD BAND LEFT ON THE LABEL.
it's not your damn business. they are people too.
this is why i think the TAI m&gs were a bad idea, as much fun as i had at it. they let people explore into TAI's life and that just caused so much more drama. "lyk omg when i went, lyk william TOTALLY didnt tell me that he loved me when i said i loved him! i just lost all respect for him!!" you shouldn't be saying that shit in the first place.
here's what you do when you meet a band:
1) introduce yourself.
2) thank them for a good show.
3) maybe ask them a harmless question (THAT DOESN'T INVADE INTO THEIR PERSONAL LIVES) about their music or their new record.
4) ask for a picture.
5) ask for an autograph.
6) thank them again.
7) AND WALK THE FUCK AWAY.
you don't need to know the latest juicy gossip about fall out boy.
you don't need to bitch about how cobra's sold out because they're on mtv now.
you don't need complain about ryan's new girlfriend.
because i can tell you right now, your words will never change what these bands do or what their music will sound like or how many times they pop up on TRL. just because cobra's on mtv doesn't mean they sold out, for christ's sake. EVERY BAND WANTS TO BE DISCOVERED AND THIS IS THEIR CHANCE. people on a much larger scale are finally hearing what good music sounds like, and you should be proud of their acheivments musically, not pissed off that ~teenies are going to go to their shows now.
yeah i know it sucks when you get stuck behind some annoying 11 year old girl at a show, and they're screaming out stuff that doesn't make sense, but you just have to suck it up and assure yourself that in a few weeks, that kid will have dropped their latest panic! obsession and moved onto another band for a few more weeks. if you really are a true fan, you will swallow your pride and focus on a band's music, and not let stupid details get in the way of enjoying the hard work that was put into that CD. you will stop bitching about every band's private life and you will realize that just because they are talented musicians, doesn't mean they aren't real people. and you will never be afraid to admit that you like a band just because some elitist on the fucking internet says that their lead singer is whore. NEVER EVER BE ASHAMED OF WHAT YOU ENJOY. guilty pleasures should never exist in your life. be proud of every song that is on your playlist. and never let anyone tell you otherwise.
wow that was long.
if you read all that, thank you.
i really want to know what you think, especially if you agree.
