.
i was going to post this in a bulletin on myspace but i decided not to because i already post to many useless things on there.
............so, i found out that pete has been updating the q&a on falloutboyrock.com, it just never said under the 'all' section like it used to. so i was reading them and i was once again sucked into the brilliant and oh so very sarcastic mind of peter wentz. but there was one "question" [more of a comment] i came across that cought my attention. I understand that people can lose interest in activities, places, people but i dont see any reason for it to be told to that person who has done nothing but try to be creative. here it is, if you were wondering, if you werent, you can stop reading now...

question:
oh ho ho pete. we are all lightly and slightly ammused by that darling little mix tape you put out. that song that Cobra Starship sang "I Kissed a Boy" is a real knee slapper! and who could forget the wonderful ditty "Nearly Witches" that couldnt have possibly been the work of Panic At The Disco (get your butterfly nets out and see if you can catch my swift flying sarcasm). and we all though that the Hush Sound's "We Believe in Barack Obama" was so comical and full of fantastic falsehoods. and the smiles slammed on when we heard that wonderful little text commercial "Text Fall Out Boy: FOB to 66937". cuz i totally download music to hear people telling me to get crap sent to my phone. i may never need to watch commercials again! (dayum. there are a lot of butterflies up in here now, huh!)if you see the old fall out boy, tell them they should come back and bury the sellouts they've become.i will only waste your precious time for one more minute, Mr Wentz. then i'll be out of your emo hair forever!look in the mirror, pete. what happened to you? you use to be a great guy. a fantastic artist. someone i would think of and say "i wish i could be half the artist he is". but somewhere along the line, fall out boy fell out. they have become just another band. the kind who do it for the money. even your website is covered in advertisements.the whole music industry is sinking into this same gunk. i see beautiful bands get suck down with it. and when theyre next album stares back at me from the shelf at my favorite record store, it says its by Fall Out Boy, by Cobra Starthip, by The Academy Is..., by Gym Class Heroes, but its not. all the vibrant colors that made these bands unique have blended together into a muddy brown. and who wants to buy an album that sounds like every other album on the shelves?to make this bite sized for you, i think Decaydance has sold out *cha ching!* what happened to the art? what happened to my favorite bands? they are sinking deeper and deeper, pete. they are hallowing out, and all the soul that they once had has been filled with cheep pop and the knowledge that they are getting paid.i use to want to be just like you, just like fall out boy, cobra starship, the academy is..., gym class heroes.ive thrown away my fob shirts. ive painted over the bright red bat logo that once glared at me from my Pete Wentz Squire P-Bass guitar. me and my friends refer to you not as Fall Out Boy, but as Sell Out Boy. you are no longer a poster boy for my scene.

answer:
truly if you had known the old me you would have hated him. i did.and you have no idea what or where decaydance records has gone or to what lengths we have done to "not sell out"- you wont ever know because we keep it out of the public eye. sorry you did not like the mixtape that was our opportunity to do something different as a rock band. i wish i could sit down and have a conversation with you. i am sure we could learn much from eachother. until then i hope that some of the new ideas kicking around could change your mind. ps we sold "sell out boy" tshirts on our last tour because we thought it was so funny.

.............ok i give props to this 'hello_im_latte' character for her good writing skills, but i have to say, i think it is extremely rude to actually write this to the person who your actually talking about. what did you hope would happen by you writing that? for him to say "im sorry, i will change back to the person i was and i will start writing the kinds of songs i used to write" really? people change. they evolve. think about it, you most likely have changed from the time you were born to. its just human nature to want to do something different, to explore the possibilities.....
with that said, i now sound like i actually may know him and are sticking up for him... or that im just a little obsessed fan girl who doesnt take shit talkers about one of my favorite bands. i am a huge fan, but im not saying this because i get annoyed when people say bad things about my favorite bands. im saying it because i just think its completely sad to say something like that directly to that person, i would say the same thing if something happened to a band i didnt like.

sorry for my ranting.
