I posted this on my myspace blog and on my tumblr, but since I only got a blogspot because Pete Wentz had one and he poured out all his thoughts on blogspot, I decided it was only proper for me to post on here as well.
I’m pretty sure all Fall Out Boy fans have heard that Fall Out Boy is done. It definitely makes me sad, cause those four dudes formed the person I am today. Without their music, I really don’t know who I would have been today. Honestly if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be interested in half of the music I listen too, I’m pretty sure I would only listen to pop music if I hadn’t have gotten into Fall Out Boy. I always felt like I was the odd ball in my group of friends in high school, then I was introduced to Fall Out Boy. Before I listened to them I always felt lonely, like no one understand me. Like my brain was on a different frequency than everyone else’s, and sometimes I felt I thought backwards and just my brain was off.
Then when I started really listening to Fall Out boy and paying attention to the lyrics, I realized I wasn’t so alone. Someone felt just as backwards and awkward as me. Each and every one of them has made who I am today. I really don’t know how I would have survived without their music. I hate to make this sound like its all about Pete, but really that boy has changed my life. I wouldn’t have wanted to be an A&R if it wasn’t for him. I would have never found out that I have a pretty amazing hear for what’s good for the music industry if I hadn’t started reading Pete’s blogs and stuff. Crazy, I know, but I never thought someone would 100% understand how I feel. It definitely saddens me that Fall Out Boy is taking a break for a several years or if they really are done for good.
I’m lucky to have seen them in concert three times and met Pete once I wish I could have had an actually conversation with him though. I’ve made some pretty amazing friends because of Fall Out Boy, and I just can’t thank them enough for making music for us kids. Fall Out Boy will always pump through my veins and be my lullaby and my shoulder when no one else can. It breaks my heart knowing I won’t get to see them live for a long time or won’t hear a new song by them for a really long time or even never, but I think we should all be glad that Fall Out Boy shared so much with us and changed so many lives. I’ll forever believe in Fall Out Boy and they shall never die. Believers Never Die.
And I know most people don’t understand or probably really understand half of the things I say cause I have a way with wording things, but I know if actually had an in depth conversation with Pete, we’d probably hit some bulbs and click like crickets.
I think Pete says this better than I could have worded it, but I agree 100% with what Pete has said about it in his blog www.petewentz.com .
” for what feels like forever fall out boy has been my therapy. i dont know what it was before that. but it was a part of everything i felt. i know i might not have smiled or talked at meet and greets from time to time. sometimes we had flown in at 5 am or i was sick or had something going on. sometimes i felt shy. sometimes just a bit off. most times i assume people dislike me when i meet them so i dont really talk a whole lot. but every single night on that stage is where i left everything that was twisted up inside my stomach. every single wish. everything. all of the big blackness poured out in sweat, words, screams. and i have to admit i let the fame bug crawl inside me and turn me into mr. hyde for a minute. but i was off of that a long time before anyone thinks i was- in fact all of “ioh” is about being off of it. unfortunately it is something like pandoras box and once you open it- it cant be shut again. and i wish it could more than anybody. if you are a fan of mine please dont vote for me in those stupid polls or anything that doesnt have to do with something i feel passionate about. even that being said. even pretty much going out every night thinking the whole front row of the audience hated me. it felt like going from hulk hogan to sid justice, or whatever his name was. but it still was therapy. and i felt a connection. i felt like a real human. im not the greatest one on one. actually i am probably one of the worst. i dont like to talk or at least i keep whatever i am thinking bottled up. i guess this is me saying thank you for giving that to me. i dont think i can say it enough.” - Pete Wentz

I know there’s a small chance of any of them reading this, but I wanna thank them so fucking much. Thank you guys for holding me down in this starless city. I love you four dudes dearly. I shall believe in you all until my veins stop running and my heart stops beating.
