Put on your war paint!

I'd promise you anything for another shot of life

- Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes by Fall Out Boy

_______________________________________________

If you haven't noticed, the lyrics on top with my past posts are lyrics of songs from Fall Out Boy. I guess I'm too late to spaz about this but yeah. I'm recently gripped to Fall Out Boy. You might be wondering: what about One Direction? Or Avril Lavigne? Or Panic! At the Disco? Yes, I am a big fan of all those. Including this one. Fall Out Boy, Painc! At the Disco and Avril helped me in my darkest time. They were the music that I've been listening to since I had problems. 

Normal people would think that a band that consists of a hipster looking vocalist, an emo-like bassist, a dork but rockish guitarist, and a high tempered looking drummer isn't a good idea. But they are totally wrong. I have been a believer since I was in elementary. Since their recent hiatus, I sorta lost hope. 

In their hiatus, everyone was a success. Patrick Stump's solo career made him the man today. Yes, he got thinner, but that's not the main thing that changed in him. I can honestly remember an interview that I watched a long time ago with him saying that he found the meaning of music when he went solo. He had his own album Soul Punk. I was happy for him. Of course it made me sad as well. At that point I never really imagined FOB to be back together. I knew it was still possible, but I wasn't expecting
. 

Pete Wentz was in a band that's called Black Cards. I never really knew much about Pete during the hiatus. I was just surprised that I saw him in  reality show called Opening Act as a producer. The smile on his face when I saw those 10 minutes of him judging a guy in youtube was just priceless. Seeing him happy with what he does just makes me think: was he happy when he was in FOB as well? 

Going to Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley. These two were always my cup of tea. I've always loved how Andy looked as a Little Tree Friend. The both of them were together when they were the a hardcore super group The Damned Things with Joe in lead and rhythm guitar. And I must say, Joe really improved. He was deserving to be in a super group. I couldn't see their album here so I just listened to then in Youtube. Their music video of We've Got a Situation Here was hilarious! I could see both of them having so much fun! Joe had this huge, long afro and Andy still had his long hair. Sadly, even The Damned Things had a hiatus. Andy also played for a hardcore band Burning Empires and Enabler. And for Joe, he formed a band called With Knives with him as the vocalist and the guitarist. I heard their music to listen to Joe's voice clearer. It wasn't bad at all.

With all these things going on their hiatus, it was hard to not think that they're not having enough. I thought it wasn't that bad if they won't be back together since they were all successful without each other.

And yes, I fell in love with Joe all over again. Yeah, Joe was always the one I looked up to. He always had different looks. He can be this really geeky awkward kid, then a punk rocker in the other.

During their hiatus I never it didn't show that I was a believer. I never talked about them, but they have always been in my mind. I haven't listened to their album Folie a Duex until now. Why you ask? In that time I have been a Little Black Star. I regret not listening to it. I regret that I have left this fandom in a while.

At first I couldn't believe that they were back together. I wasn't spazzing as much as I would love to. The thing is I wasn't sure if I wanted them to be back together. I was undecided if it was a good thing or a bad thing. It then sunk in, they actually got better. They were already awesome before, and now they're incredible!

Then I searched pictures of them before. I could see how they were so happy. And now I can finally see Pete smiling in most of their recent pictures. I love how Joe's Instagram is so updated. They actually seem happier. That makes me happy as well. Seeing how they enjoyed themselves really made me decide that I'm a proud Believer. BELIEVERS NEVER DIE!

Oh, and I love JOETRICK! :))
