i got it up after all

~

yeah yeah. that's what she said. as all of my updates are, this one will be all over the place so don't feel bad if you skim through and don't actually read all of it.

i am pretty excited to update. i don't even know why. who seriously gets excited to update? oh. me. the person that updates [link]  like 3 or 4 times a day haha. does anyone know why a mofo is called a mofo and not a mofu? weird. the best news of all is this- fn mtv was picked back up for a second season and should be coming back this november. i would elaborate but i gotta save something for the next update.

skip this paragraph it is boring: band news comes first i guess, so that i can talk about everything before my bandmates do- you snooze you lose. nah we can all talk about it, our different perspectives might be interesting. if you like fall out boy anyway. if you don't you probably have taste. so we shot our video for "i don't care" over the weekend and then did a photoshoot for ap. i liked the shoot for ap, but they're always good to our band. i'm not knocking rocksound or anything but the photoshoot was kinda cheesy. i'm really excited about the video, i really missed making them. the last one we did wasn't even technically our song, just our take on what we feel is a classic. the lyrics weren't our own so we kind of got to make whatever we wanted, the way we saw it. this song is our own and it's fun to shoot the videos where you can bring a new meaning to a song. it's kind of funny how everyone comes up with their own meaning to it anyway, or what they think it means. btw did you know that michael jackson owns some of the beatles songs. that's pretty insane.

the vmas were pretty great, we lost the only one we were up for and that was alright with all of us. i don't think we really deserved it this year anyway and for that video. it was a fun video to shoot but we were originally in it for "thnks fr the mmrs" and we had to correct mtv and tell them that video was outdated and they'd have to use "beat it". next year is our year. the only thing that really sucked about losing the award was the fact that slash presented it. the second we saw him i knew joe was going to be bummed if we didn't get it for the fact he wouldn't get to be up onstage with slash. i think joe got cheered up when a few people asked him if his dad was slash or tapped his shoulder and even mistook him for slash from behind afterwards when we were backstage getting ready to go. but come on. like slash would hang out with fall out boy? pls. anyways, this year we didn't really go to any afterparties either. i dunno like, it almost seems like you go to one los angeles party you've gone to them all. it doesn't really appeal to me anymore. we just went home, ordered a pizza and that was that.

possible ways i think i could die
1. crashing while trying to text and or talk on my blackberry while driving.
2. a playful game of hide and go seek where i go hide but nobody else bothers to seek.
3. assassination. would my death count as that? would it be just murder? or would it be pest control?
4. i plan my own kidnapping to promote the new fall out boy cd and nobody tries to find me- i forget where i am too and starve to death.

and speaking of promoting the new fall out boy cd...

that's a picture of what someone quoted this as "fall out boy's poor attempt at a viral campaign", which i am sure some other websites are calling a "virus" or a plague. or the fact it's viral only because it's fall out boy, not that it's going to catch on. oh well. i hate labeling anything. this was just done because we're excited about the cd. i just feel like we haven't done a lot for the fans in the past year or so, so we're trying to come up with a few ways to get them all involved and excited about the cd. i really doubt anything we're doing is going to draw in new fans. we've got gabe saporta in the new video and on the album, and brendon urie on the album. i'm really proud of this cd and it's not even completely done yet. we hope everyone likes it but at the same time, we are not making it for everyone to like. i feel bad that some fans are upset the special boxes of "donuts" didn't make it to real fans, and just a few random girls- but i promise we'll always have more surprises ready. not that anyone reading this likes my band or wants stupid fall out boy memorabilia. unless it's to sell on ebay, haha.

what other things will we come up with? well, as long as the initials are f.o.b the sky is the limit really. literally. nothing in the sky is spelled with f.o.b. wait o could be for orbit? well maybe something is.

pete: wow
pete: i had no idea a shopping cart costs that much money
pete: AMAZON.COM IS A FUCKING LEARNING EXPERIENCE
jared: LMFAO
jared: I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE
jared: I NEEDED A LAUGH THANK YOU

i was on amazon.com looking for stuff to waste money on. at first it was just dvds i dont have cos you can find em super cheap and i haven't had any problems so far, but then i couldn't think of any movies i wanted to see that i havent (if you know of a good one, recommend it please and tell me a little about what it's about maybe... without ruining the whole thing haha) there was also an electric toothbrush for $140. who would pay that much? i got mine for like $8. anyways, while i was looking around they recommended this book to me: People Who Don't Know They're Dead: How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It (Paperback)

it sounds like a ssdumb award title, haha.

speaking of ssdumb awards i won like i think every negative one except most likely to have a pussy below or whatever- but i think those nude pics of mine actually helped me out of that one. i think to make the awards more fun and mean we need awards like this. if you continue the ssdumb awards next time around, please consider adding a few new categories since we all like to fill out polls, have our opinions heard and segregate like at the lunch room back in high school:

suggested new ssdumb award categories
1. most likely to be smelled from a block away. omg. shower please. (most in need of a shower)
2. nobody puts baby in the corner. (biggest attention getter)
3. it's my party and i'll cry if i want to, cry if i want to. (biggest crybaby)
4. did you trip and fall into your closet and waltz out wearing what you got tangled in? (worst fashion)
5. most likely to stay in the closet longer than that I SURVIVED Y2K shirt you bought back in 2000. (most secret gay)
6. most likely to come flailing out of the closet with a rainbow shining behind them but no pot of gold (most obvious gay)
7. best award maker, the most underappreciated and underpaid workers next to fast food and postal workers. (best award maker)
8. wow. do you fart air freshner and shit flowers? (most perfect person)

wait i'll even save you the trouble of nominating and voting, i'd win em all (except 7 and 8). first place since they're all terrible- but i actually deserve the worst fashion one haha. and the crybaby one. garrett and jared tie for second for everything and does anyone care about third? just kidding. but actually not that much- did anyone hear about the wrestler in the olympics who won bronze and threw down his metal and walked out? kind of insane. i guess he felt robbed but it's kind of hard to misjudge a wrestling competition. i dunno. still, if i was fourth i would have gladly accepted it in that guy's place. i get wanting to be the best or thinking you should have placed first and accepting nothing less, but placing third in any olympics game is taking home a big piece of history. let alone actually being there, at least i think anyway. i don't get how you can let your pride get that full to where even if you're robbed and you win an award you still are angry.

i of all people actually can talk about this after my embarrassing little blog updates when we weren't nominated for a grammy for infinity on high. it stung a lot to not even be nominated and it still kind of stings because i know how much work we put into it. so my point is, being nominated is better than nothing at all. being at the olympics competing should have been enough for that guy- to know he made it that far. it says a lot about your talent. even when we as a band don't win an award, i am happy we were up for it. when you think about how far you've come and how many people it was narrowed down to, being nominated alone should be enough.

this is probably the most important paragraph in this whole thing: if you're losing comments it's because you edited your post. if you edit a post at all you lose comments eventually- it won't happen right away, usually- but weeks or months later out of nowhere they'll disappear. you also lose any new ones to the post again if you re-edit it after you've already lost comments the first time around. it sucks. i hate to say it, but patrick, you were right. you told me if i edit it again i'd lose the comments again and i said "no i don't think it'll do that." shows me not to have any faith in insanejournal.

pete: wb can afford all that lighting and special effects thnx to the money they sued me for
jared: LMAO I WISH they majorly cut our budget
pete: i could tell from the stab scene HAHA

as you can see jared made me watch the wb tonight to see his show. this section of the update will be the last one, i just want to mention how lucky i feel for the friends i have. i got a little butt hurt by getting so many negative awards, but i'm over it now. i mentioned the whole segregating at lunch thing... i'm really lucky to have the friends i do. i never really cared about fitting in at school, just being around the friends i had. to me the best friends i've ever had are ones that people normally wouldn't want to talk to or would be too scared to talk to. you can't ever judge anyone, but most of the popular people are like robots programmed to say the same things and like the same things. not always, but it seems like people have to back stab and be fake to be popular anyway, to get to where they want to be.

so in closing this huge update, it finally ends with a few of the best friends i have here and why i appreciate them. i recommend those of you posting "who should i im" talk to any one of them. thanks for being my friends and listening to me whine, making me laugh when i feel blue and letting me cheer you up too:                                                                                                                                            - jared and garrett- i'll put them together because they both get a lot of shit. talk to them. both of them. they both are hilarious and say the most random shit you'll ever. they both make me laugh and i think if you don't like either of them, you just haven't talked to them. thanks to jared's evil genius mind we have this insane plans of going to hollister on halloween and setting rodents loose in the store becasue it's so dark. also weren't we all up for "person you'd most like to see killed by a mentally deranged psychopath"? well, if you're a mentally deranged psychopath and reading this come out and meet us there. three birds in one store. er.. three birds with one stone. whatever.                                                                                                                                     - joe and patrick- obviously i am going to tell you to talk to my bandmates, but joe (although he recently discovered ratemybonghit.com and hasn't been as talktive since haha) and patrick are both my two best and the longest friends i've had. i have to point out a little known fact: joe is the most fun if you get him to play a board game with you- especially when he bids excessively on monopoly or spells "pot" in scrabble. i believe patrick and i have the actual syndrome of folie à deux, even if he can't say it. we butt heads when we record but he is the most talented person i will ever meet or know. (i say that knowing i won't ever really meet or know axl, please don't hate me if you ever read this axl) just kidding about axl, i love you patrick.                                               - gabe and avril- obviously gabe has been my friend for years but his girlfriend avril is pretty amazing too, he's finally found a good one. it sucks how long it takes us sometimes to find the right person but i'm positive he has. she's exactly what he needs and i know he is good for her too- even though he's probably telling himself she's not. he's a hilarious guy, and hot. he'll tell you that himself though. they've both been amazing friends to me and never turned their back on me.                                                                                                                                                                                        - last but not least is hayley who i would say is a new friend but i've known her a while, i just don't think we've talked as much as we have since she showed up. she deserves more credit than she gets too, not just for her band but herself. besides her songs can be misheard as bad as ours can. she is also one of those people that can make me laugh until my stomach hurts.

hayley: wow i wish i could stop listening to this song
pete: i dont care by fall out boy? if not i dont care
hayley: im gonna punch you one day
- if i left anyone off don't take it personally at all. it was really painful for me to say all these nice things- just kidding, but i hope i didn't forget anyone- especially since i can't edit because ij will eat my comments. the truth is i'm trying to finish this up cos it's already long enough as it is. plus i know some of the people i mentioned are judged wrong and completely amazing so they deserve that pointed out. i will always defend my friends up and down.

i don't think i said everything i wanted to, but there is always next update. next update where i can have my fn mtv paragraph or two back, thank god. also i can talk about the baby being born and being a father. i'm so excited. this little person with their own thoughts and feelings, their own tastes in music and television shows and i just can't wait. but yeah next update i spent way too much time on this one already.

oh yeah and there is new stuff up at [link]

xo

ps- oops i did almost forget a good friend somehow- i would say more but this is all you'll want to read anyway: hey brendon whats up?
