(no pun intended) fall out boy is one of the few bands who have a had a significant impact on my life and as an artist. here is a picture of me and pete from five or so years ago. my brace face and all. the first time i ever crowd surfed was to “tell mick…” and i swear to god pete pointed at me as a floated across the crowd pointing back at him, screaming the words that he poured his heart, soul, and un-trimmed chest into writing. first time i got kicked out of a concert? fall out boy. i was singing along to “saturday” and accidentally punched a security guard in the jaw while throwing my fist up to a break in the bridge. fall out boy were a group of guys..just like us. some considered them underdogs..yet they took the world by storm. patrick has taught me that singers in this genre don’t just have to play three power chords and hit simple cheap notes when they sing. we can be soulful.. we can actually sing with a little bit of emotion. patrick has taught me so much about being myself as a singer, artist, and as a person..and that as long as i am honest with myself..people will follow.<br/><br/>i was just like a lot of you guys. i’d ditch school, camp out at the venue the morning of the shows, and stand outside in the cold waiting for the guys to come outside so i could nervously shake their hand and tell them that their music had changed my life. i knew that they probably got it three hundred times a day..but i didn’t mind. they always made me feel like it meant something to them. and to this day…i believe it did.<br/><br/>i have fall out boy to thank for almost everything i have. pete listening to me sing at a gym class heroes video shoot senior week during my finals. he was dressed up as elvis, but still found time to give a nerdy little vegas kids with braces a shot at playing a song or two on guitar. they invited me to come out on tour with them for a few days…where me and patrick ended up forming our song “bounce” and talking about hell boy comics. pete has also taught me not to take naked photos of myself…haha just kidding ;) i can still remember waking up at pete’s house to hemmingway attacking my face as if it was normandy, and pete laughing like an 8 year old as he filmed it on his old school video camera.<br/><br/>i apologize for getting so nostalgic on you…but i want you to know that i am right there with you guys. it has hit me hard like i’m sure it has all of you. here is what you have to think about though…<br/><br/>fall out boy will never be completely over.<br/><br/>i have enough memories to last me three lifetimes. they’ve put enough wind in my sails to push me around the world a dozen or so times. they won’t be forgotten. how many bands that you listen to were started because of fall out boy? or at least we’re inspired by their songs and sounds. fall out boy wasn’t just a band. it was a movement. it was the light between the clouds that showed that us kids can become something great. it was the fact the we can all change the world in our own ways. even if we all feel like underdogs sometimes. how can we be mad or upset with them when they have given us so much? i have heard some of patrick’s new stuff…and it is absolutely amazing. pete seems to be getting into something everyday that’s groundbreaking, new, and exciting. none of our boys are going anywhere. we need to be proud of them. i’m going to support them like they supported me. when i was lonely in my bedroom..i could put on my fall out boy cd and escape for a few minutes. have you guys seen how big little bronx is getting? isn’t he a beautiful little boy? how amazing is that for pete? they’re growing up just like we are…and they deserve a round of applause. a standing ovation. who knows what they’ll do in the future..but we all know what they have done in the past. no one can take fall out boy away from us…<br/><br/>not even them personally.<br/><br/>-alexander deleon</p> <p><b>a class act.</b></p>http://petewentz.com/post/368913197http://petewentz.com/post/368913197Wed, 03 Feb 2010 11:03:14 -0500<img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx9r6nEkwC1qznis6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>i miss truck stops and sneaking nachos.</p>http://petewentz.com/post/368784345http://petewentz.com/post/368784345Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:06:23 -0500<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ozV1m2plgps&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ozV1m2plgps&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>shiz.</p>http://petewentz.com/post/368756470http://petewentz.com/post/368756470Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:40:43 -0500<p>i dont know the future of fall out boy. its embarrassing to say one thing and then have the future dictate another. as far as i know fall out boy is on break. (no one wants to say the “h” word). as much as i dont have a solo project, i also cant predict that id ever play in fall out boy again. not due to personal relationships as much as a band we grew apart. in this statement id like to include there is the possibility that fob will play again with out me or i will be a part of it when everyone is on the same page. it is no ones fault and there is no animosity about the decision. i felt as fans you deserve to know. there is no singular reason for this. the side projects or bands are supported by all members of the band. i am the single biggest fan of fob and if this is our legacy than so be it. i am proud of it.</p>http://petewentz.com/post/366546515http://petewentz.com/post/366546515Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:45:07 -0500<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx70c2fiwv1qznis6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>every day for the past 7 years of my life i woke up with a purpose. i felt driven. my eyelids forced awake. this was all that kept me going. when i lost that. i lost part of me. i went off the deep end a bit. i guess maybe i was the biggest fan and just felt despair. i was self destructive. i was mean to the people around me. i was confused. i felt lost. i isolated myself. i gave up. i cant believe the universe isnt working because this is exactly when i was delivered the most important drive of my life bronx. i know that i am supposed to be doing what i am because he came at the exact time to pull me out of that. every day i work to be a better person. more patient. listen more, talk less. let go of feuds. let go of resentment. not to say hes not with me and were working harder on clandestine and decaydance than ever before. were about to launch two new angels and kings. writing some songs with my buddy mark hoppus. thats not to say count me out. im gonna jump back in. i just know that i have to be patient and wait for the right idea. i cant just jump the gun and do whatever. letting go of this giant part of my life has been hard. but i am convinced i will find something new that sparks me in a similar way. this is not a <i>vacation</i>. but i want to be back on tour having my son watch me from the side of stage and that will happen- when i find the right magnet.</p> <p><b>acta est fabula</b></p> <p><b><br/></b></p> <p>photo: bx in the sidewalk taken when bronx and i went to the ready set video shoot in brooklyn.</p>http://petewentz.com/post/366133190http://petewentz.com/post/366133190Mon, 01 Feb 2010 21:31:00 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kx6y5xhotD1qznis6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>i think im gonna try and keep this beard until @fys drop their record in march. pretty bad idea: game on!</p>http://petewentz.com/post/366046918http://petewentz.com/post/366046918Mon, 01 Feb 2010 20:44:21 -0500<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwxmuoK5kC1qznis6o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Kramden Enterprises now has a drive thru window for all 2 of you who get it.</p>http://petewentz.com/post/356966702http://petewentz.com/post/356966702Wed, 27 Jan 2010 20:01:36 -0500<p><blockquote>AK NYC and AK Chicago join forces to raise money for victims of the earthquake in Haiti.</blockquote> <blockquote> <br/>Date: Thursday, January 28th 2010</blockquote> <blockquote> <br/>Location:  Angels & Kings New York CityTime:  7pm - 9pmEvent:  Healthy Help for Haiti - Vegan Bake Sale organized by VeganDrinks.org and SuperVegan.com***Contact <a><u>sam@supervegan.com</u></a> for more informationFeaturing: DJ Lil Ray from 7pm to 9pm (<a><a href="http://www.djlilray.com">www.djlilray.com</a></a> <<a><u><a href="http://www.djlilray.com">http://www.djlilray.com</a></u></a>> )Fundraiser:  Baked goods will be priced by the piece (Average price: $1 - $5) and 100% of the proceeds will benefit Sodopreca and the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH).</blockquote> <blockquote> <br/>Location:  Angels & Kings ChicagoTime:  10pm - 2amEvent:  Who Gives A Shot - “Disappear Here” Helps HaitiFeaturing:  Gemini Club and resident DJ’s Heaven Malone, Midnight Conspiracy and La Dolce Vita (Gemini Club are an up and coming electro band getting tons of local press.
