Listening to: the
soundtrack to my antisocial autumn college days: Magnetic fields, sonic youth,
cure, new order, pixies Drinking: layercake
shiraz, Coppola Claret, miso soup, Cakebread Cellars 2005 cab Eating: Mike and Ikes Reading: The Early Ayn
Rand : unpublished fiction, MAXIM Typing at you from my
hotel in Colorado. It’s 5am and Greg is sleepfarting in the other bed every 10
minutes, wrapped up in blankets like a burrito, swimming in sweet oblivion. In
his body’s defense, we still haven’t fully recovered from the Wake Up the
Sleepers record release slumber party pillow fight at Angels and Kings in Chicago 3 days ago. It
just demolished us… arose the next afternoon with my boots still on, tied
together somehow, beyond dehydrated… my head felt like a giant salt lick.
Thankfully my voice returned in time for tonight’s show in Denver, although
this fucking lazy eye may be permanent. Nice little souvenir for me. See the
evidence of debauchery here. <<<My guest on next week’s
ASK MAT will be BAM MARGERA. If you’d like to address a personal story or
question to him, just put
????BAM at the top of
your comment. This is a very rare chance for you to seek guidance from a good
friend who continues to lead one of the fullest, most intense lives imaginable.>>> Finally, thank you to all
the Raccoons and new visitors for contributing. I love the range of topics and
the fearlessness you have to trust this community with sensitive material. I do
have one request tho: I’m running out of Adderall, so try to convey your
stories and questions as efficiently as possible. Don’t tempt me to start
paraphrasing the whole column down into A.D.D.-friendly Twitter format...
imagine that: Q:
<3 you mat. xkim. 16y. stepdad abuse. issues with men x100. scared. alone. A:
kim, be strong. stepdad=c@cksucker. escape. find art. you>your fam. Ok let’s roll. 1) FROM Alexandria ??????Benji, Recently the guy that I
have been dating asked me to move in with him next year after I finish this
year of college. I excitedly said yes, of course, because I do love him. Well
last night I was at a party with a bunch of my friends, and a friend of mine
asked me why my BF wouldn't move down here, since I'm in college and he isn't.
I didn't have an answer for her. So today I asked my
boyfriend, if need be, would he move down here for me, so I could stay in
college. He asked why, and I explained that the college where he lives is 4
times as expensive as the one that I'm going to now. This being said, he told
me that in all honesty, NO, he would not move down here because he has
"too much going for him where he lives now"...I'm just really
confused. I mean, don't get me wrong, we love each other. I'm just not sure as
to why I should be the one to uproot my life. Any advice? Alexandria, (And anyone else
with a similar situation.) This is kind of a textbook
young relationship problem. I'm guessing you are probably 19 or 20, being that
you just finished your 1st year of college. Congrats by the way. This is an
important time in your life. you’re figuring out what you want to do with your
future, preparing to try and make your dreams come true. Here are a couple scenarios: a.Your dream is to be
married and have kids right now, and this guy has a great career and you r comfortable having him support you and be the family provider… well then, by
all means drop everything and go be with this guy (not the best move in my
opinion) b. YOU are going to college
for a reason: you have other goals. you love this guy however you
have your own priorities. Well then you gotta keep you r priorities straight.
There will come a day when you are a little older when you have other
responsibilities and commitments and your life will in a way belong to other
people. Right now is your time to do
everything you want to do. get your education. figure out your
dreams. and ANYONE who really loves you, will support this thru and thru no
matter what it takes. SO there is no reason why
you can't have both. If you both love each other then you will do
what it takes to support EACHother’s happiness. and if he isn't
down well.... that says a lot. SO in my opinion. stay in the school
you want to be at. Make your future YOUR number one priority. Whatever you want
that future to be. Good luck!! 2) FROM Matt ??????DEAR MAT:
I'm in Chicago for a while. When I first got here I saw this beautiful girl,
(pale skin, dark eyes, bright crimson lips) who reminded me of some sort of
Russian countess, she was reading Dostoyesky. I then saw her working at a store
on Michigan avenue, where she was very friendly to everyone and I caught her
singing Depeche Mode and talking about the opera to a customer. I think she was
also outside the Kill Hannah afterparty on the phone, she was with this other
girl, and I also saw another dude with a pink robe; I wish I was allowed in. If
she was there that means she's probably older than I am. I'm a tall skinny 18
year old guy who dresses in hoodies and jeans all the time, and she seems like
so idealistically sophisticated. Questions.... 1.) How can a guy like me get a
girl like that? 2.) You seem to also have similairities with her, is it like
Chicago thing? 3.) Where in Chicago can I meet girls like that? 4.) What's one
Chicago food place I gotta go before I leave? thanks.
Wake up the sleepers
KICKS FUCKING ASS by the way! 1) Ok Matt. First of all,
you have a great name and great taste in girls. Judging from the criteria you described, the
object of your teen beat obsession is either Alexandra, Kristina or Alejandra. Check the links to see their
photos from the party. All three are brooding, cool and cultured.
The good news is, not a single one of them left her apartment this morning
saying, “God, I really hope a younger guy doesn’t flatter me today.” When I was young, I was
terrified to take my shirt off in public. I looked like Gollum. My torso was basically an
exoskeleton. Not only were all my ribs and concave breastplate exposed in vivid
detail, you could actually see my little bird heart beating thru the thin,
mole-covered skin between my miniscule nipples. The unattainable male Ideal at
that time was buff, tan, studly and also somehow a master at both saxophone and
karate. These days, YOU are the
ideal. You’re tall, skinny,18 AND smart? You’re LETHAL, Matt. Look at the lead singers in Alternative Press Magazine. Your face could
look like an old catchers mit, it doesn’t even matter if you’ve got the
silhouette and the style. Your hoody and jeans combo
is borderline acceptable, but avoid becoming a Hot Topic caricature. Make sure you
have great shoes, maybe a tiny hint of good cologne, one simple silver ring and maybe try layering the hoody underneath with a thermal longsleeve or one of American Apparel’s thin v-necks. Don’t
shave for 2 weeks. Stick with earth tones and grays. Buy classic RayBans. Maybe
a tattoo.. something original and monochrome.. like the floorplan of the Louvre or St Peter's basilica something. Next, just introduce
yourself.. “were you smoking outside Angels and Kings a few days ago?” or “Is
it true that Mat once saved 100 children from a burning orphanage?” Then, as Nickelodeon as
this sounds, just be yourself -for all your blundering youthful charm. Those
girls get hit on by cheesy NYSE traders and married douchebags all day. As
intimidating as they may seem, they would MELT at the thought of a dorky guy
like you nervously crushing on them from a distance. Believe me, you are
invinsible. You’ll need your Tolstoy book to beat them off
of you. 2) more of a London thing
that we rip off 3) Greg’s apartment. Depaul
campus, Rodan… or Smiths night at Danny’s. 4) Al’s Beef. Get the #7.
Throw some fries to the janky-ass pigeons. 3) FROM Pat ?????? Benji So, a friend of mine has
been in an emotionally and verbally abusive relationship for years now, and it
recently turned physical. It’s a direction we all saw it going in, and we've
all been trying to talk him out of it. There've been earnest
face-to-face talks and phone calls. some friends have gone so far as to have
interventions! His girlfriend is possessive, jealous, belittling, and
completely unstable. His list of friends he is actually allowed to talk to is
quickly diminishing (we weren't meant to be in contact for years). I feel like I've tried
everything to convince him that its unhealthy and that he should leave for his
own safety. He'll admit that its a totally fucked and unhealthy situation, but
he won't consider leaving. It’s gotten to the point that I feel like I can't be
there for him when she lashes out, because its a broken record of advice. I'm
just feeling totally lost about the whole situation, he's such an important
part of my life and he worries me so much. PAT, I hate to break it to you
but there isn't much you can do in the way of direct action. I mean you
already told your friend how you feel and that this relationship sux. Guys
don't listen most of the time. All you can do now is try and be a good friend
stick it out unless it gets unhealthy for your life. And just try and lead by
example. Eventually hopefully your buddy will snap out of it. I'm not sure how old you
guys are, but if you are still in school maybe you can get him to talk to
yall's guidance counselor with you about the physical abuse. Cause that’s never
acceptable. -even from girls. Or, you could find a way hotter way nicer girl
who wants to go out with him....that tends to make people forget real fast!
good luck buddy!! 4) From KAT: ????? Hi Mat. I live with
my dad and my sister since my mom died 2 years ago. I’ve never really lived
with him cus they divorced when i was 2, so i don’t really know him any well.
Anyway, I am often feeling very sad and lonely and i wish to see a
psychologist, but i just can’t tell him, i want to, but it’s so hard. Do you
have any idea what i can do? I’m so sorry for your loss.
I have a good friend going through the same thing right now, and she’s just
pulverized. My heart breaks for you both. It’s odd to me that a lot of
people still view therapy as taboo or as a sign of weakness. On the contrary,
the fact that you plan to step up and ask for help shows a great deal of
maturity and sense. I’m surprised that you and your sister weren’t strongly
encouraged to do so immediately after your mom’s passing. it’s long overdue. A lot of old-school dads
have a knack for unintentionally intimidating their own daughters. Even those
that don’t drink Coors and don’t have handlebar mustaches can still be scary.
The irony is, he may be just as intimidated of YOU. Some dads get so freaked at
the thought of their little babies buying tampons and giving handjobs on the
basement sofa that they just shut down communication entirely. Like it or not, you guys are
a 3-piece now, with 3 distinct personalities -like the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s. You
are Karen-O, your sister is Nick, and your dad can be what’s-his-name. For a while, try to
communicate more. be open and honest and respect each other’s differences. In the
process you may actually learn to (gulp, shivers) like one another. If he’s
cool, it can be a liberating breakthrough to start speaking on the same level. ORRRR maybe your dad
seriously just sucks. In that case, a) get help on your own. (google Grief
Counceling in your city. Group Therapy is great because you’re relating
directly to others who share your exact circumstances.) b) begin hatching your
escape from Alcatraz. (hoard your $$, get the best grades possible, etc…) c)
protect your sister. Bond with her. 5) ????BENJI Hi Benji, my name is
Brianna. And while we're on the pointless stuff that you probably don't care to
know, I've always wanted to let you know that you have helped me through many
of the extremely hard times in my life (i'm sorry that it's so cliche). But
given the opportunity of asking you something, I took it, and would very much
appreciate anything you have to say about it, and will take all of it to heart.
Right now, I need your
advice more than ever. So i'll give a little backgroud information, in hopes
that you can understand and help me better. I'm currently 17. And
ever since the age of 15, i've had my bouts with the ever-present teenage
depression. I always thought it was a 'phase' that i'd eventually grow out of,
if I gave myself some time to think and create goals for myself. But....after
two years of fighting (or at least trying to) those feelings off, they're still
present in my life, every day. Lately, it's become truly
overwhelming. I used to enjoy going out with my friends and just doing random
things, things that would typically put a smile on my face, even if it was a
small one. And even though I know that's
the best thing to do to rid myself of my depressed mindset, I still feel as if
all I want to do is sit at home, and be miserable. And I feel like I can't
control those thoughts. I've had so many people go out of my life (a few to
suicide) and I really don't know how to deal with that, in a good and positive
way at least. I'm not going to lie.
Suicide has crossed my mind countless times, way too many times. And honestly,
I've been more scared by that thought than anything else. I've thought of
everything from how I was going to do it to what I was going to leave for
everyone after I went through with it. I've experimented with self-mutilation,
and that is one thing that I truly hate myself for doing, because I have to
look at the marks I left on myself every single day. The timing for this
"Ask Mat" session could not be more perfect. Because i'm slowly but
surely slipping back into one of those holes. Benji, I know you've been
through a lot in your life, a hell of a lot more than me, and that's one reason I admire you so much.
That and the fact that you can channel all of your negativity and put it into
songs to create more positive energy to rid yourself of it. For six years, i've
wondered in astonishment how you can do that so well. I can't seem to use my
own words/poetry/lyrics to pick myself up, and music is pretty much the only
thing I have right now. So here's my question Benji: could you give me some
advice/help on how to cope with
this depression, and possibly make it better? I really really eally do not want to go back to my old
ways of thinking and I CERTAINLY
don't want to even THINK about taking my own life again. I know you
(and Mat, too) get this type of
question a lot. And i'm sorry for that. But since you've played an extremely important role in my life going
on 7 years now, advice and words
from you would be my best bet right now. I really hope that you can somehow
help me alter my way of thinking of not only myself, but of my world. Thank you so much, Benji. You
have no idea just how important your words are to me. Be safe and stay well! Brianna, Thanx for the nice
words. I'm sorry to hear you have had such a rough time with things. You're in
good company though. Really so many people feel the same way as you do.
Everything you have mentioned i can relate to and have had similar thoughts,
and experiences. 17 is such a young age to have everything figured out. YOU are
supposed to be lost right now. You aren't supposed to really know the answer to
anything. Sometimes life does hurt really badly, and there is no explanation.
But I promise that when the good moments come down the road they are worth
sticking it out thru all the bad ones. I promise you that. I still have my struggles. For a good 2 years(during
our last record) I was in really BAD place. My life was suffering for it and i
was abusing myself and letting others abuse me too. About a year ago i knew i
had to get out of it or i was going to do something horrible. The same guy that
wrote "Hold on" and i was barely hangin in. I felt pathetic, but i
reminded myself that i was human and that i had been thru this before. As i get
older i just have learned who i am, when my mindstate starts slipping back to
old patterns and feelings there are a few things i did, and still DO, to combat
it: a. I will do something that
is good for me. Where i used to hurt myself or abuse myslef, now
i do something that helps. I will spend time learning something that
will benefit my Life, i started taking piano lessons. I also
started working out, trying to be healthier. I have found it is even better
for my mind then my body, even my music has benefited from it. I have more self
respect because i put time and effort into myself. b. I will just simply try
and help someone else. I get stuck in my own head and this helps me get out of
it. I will just think of someone I know that is having a hard time in some way.
Just give them a call and say "how r you doing?" and listen to their
problems and try and offer them some support. Or find a way you can get
involved in helping in your community. Any excuse to help others is a good thing. it helps me get away
from my own shit. -and usually when i get back around to my own issues i kind
find that they aren't so bad (or at least that someone else is going thru it
too.) c. I will just try and do
something creative. I am so lucky to have music. In fact our new album
has kind of been my saving grace. I have been able to put all of my feelings,
energy, frustration, emotions, everything into writing this record. It has
gotten me thru a tough spot in my life. There is something creative for all of
us to do out there we just have to find it. d. Sometimes i will just
find help. If i don't know how to deal with something. i will find
someone who can show me how to, whether it’s a therapist or an advisor. Someone
who can help me figure out what I am going thru. Remember, tho, that you
aren't alone and this just a part of growing up for some of us. Some days we
gotta just put our headphones on and listen to our favorite songs and tough it
out. I CAN def promise you this: Your life will be different at 23 than it is
at 17, and different at 27 than it is
at 23, and different at 30...and so on and so on. Everything feels so
big right now but everything changes. growing up is hard and
painful sometimes, but there is good stuff on the way too. Take care of yourself.... 6) From ABBEY ????? Dear Mat, I'm the
unpopular kid in my school, and i get bullied and teased a lot. This has been
going on for 2 and a half years and i never really said anything because I was
too scared to stand up. Now, I really want to get even. I want to do something
funny and creative. I was wondering if you had any original pranks to get the
ringleader back? I want something really big for him, I'd prefer if it wasn’t
something confronting- if he knew who played the prank on him he would break my
bones. Are you automotively
inclined? How good are you at locating a brake cable? Kidding. I’m a huge fan of nerd
uprisings. Every nerd around the world responds to bullies in their own way. I
don’t get the impression that you’ve been out shopping for trenchcoats and shotguns
lately, so I applaud your healthy sense of perspective. You already know that geeks
win in the end. It’s Newton’s 6th law. They grow up to become not
only doctors, lawyers, scientists, and billionaires, but also knights (Anthony
Hopkins), models (Tyra Banks), A-list celebrity actors (Natalie Portman, Tobey
Maguire) and musicians (all of them). You know who LOVES bullies
when they grow up? Javier Suarez.
Don’t recognize that name? He’s the manager at Jiffy Lube on 35th
and Archer. He can’t WAIT to hire the kids who are taunting you. OK, I’ll give you 2 courses of action: 2-year plan: Your ultimate
revenge will come when you sleep with his mother and his girlfriend on the same
day. You do this by forming a band. Don’t waste your time writing songs. (girls
don’t know the difference.) Start doing pushups, and learn to shred the entire
Maroon 5 catalog. I’ll give you phase II of this plan later. 2-month plan: Bottom line,
you need a picture of that kid naked. Visit a local spy shop and look into a
hi-rez pen camera and camera glasses. Do some reconnaissance. Study his
habits.. esp. bathroom breaks and gym class. Once you get your pic, email blast
the entire school from a safe anonymous account. If that proves to be Mission
Impossible, go to a timeless Photoshop classic. Find a picture of 2 gorillas fucking.
Paste the bully’s head over the fuckEE and your principal’s head over the
fuckER. Slide a copy in every locker one Sunday morning. Avoid security cams.
Via Con Dios, my little dweeb soldier. 7) FROM Erin
[Dallas] Benji ????? Today is this guy's birthday who I met
over the summer. He is a year older than I, and has a not-so-perfect past,
involving a lot of fights and drugs. He doesn't mess around with the heavy
stuff anymore, but he still smokes weed. I don't really have a problem with
this, or anything. The truth is, a little over a month ago, he stopped talking
to me. I met him late June, and we really connected. I even took him to one of
your shows in Oklahoma (since there wasn't a TX show) after knowing him just a
week. However, the next day, I had to go out of town, but we texted daily and
talked on the phone every couple of days. He said he liked me, called me
beautiful and angel and sweetheart and... I was basically sure that once i came
back, he would ask me out in person, since he wasn't the kind of guy who would
do that over the phone. Then, I just stop hearing from him. And
any attempts I made to talk to him, he seemed annoyed or vague that I was
talking to him. Now there's no
communication at all. I thought I was fine at
first, like, the summer went on and I guess I pushed all my feelings for him to
the back of my mind. But once school started, things started to get shitty
because... well, that's how school makes you feel... and things started
resurfacing. I think about him all
the time, and we haven't talked in what seems like forever. It's not like it
was some lengthy romance thing, either. I mean, I met him, we basically spent
an entire four day weekend together, as many hours as possible, and continued
to talk after we were in different cities. Basically, my question
is, I did the right thing by not sending that text message of "Happy
Birthday" today, right? I need to suck it up and get on with
everything? I don't think I'm
being pathetic and moping about it... but he's still on my mind a lot. And I
was also wondering how on earth to get this guy of my mind? I want to stop hearing his voice in my
head (I think). I want to stop wishing his name would pop up on my phone. I
want to stop wishing I could run into him in person so we could work this out.
But the thing I want the most? I want to be able to want all those things with
100% assurance. Erin Hey. Don't want to be
too much of a bummer but i think moving on is the right thing to do. If a guy
is only gonna call you and hang out when it’s convenient or he’s in town and
that’s the nature of the relationship, that’s all good, but if you find that
it’s kind of leaving you bummed then it isn’t good for you. When a dude really
likes you he will call you too much. –doesn’t matter where he is or what he is
doing. if he has other priorities, well then that’s just where he is at in his
life. -and you can’t let that bum you out. Check out that movie "He's Just
Not That Into You." -definitely some wisdom in it. Keep it movin, keep it
movin.... Hope that helps....good luck!! 8) From LENORE: ???????????????????MAT a. What is your opinion
on illegally downloading music? I have a new rule… I will
condone the piracy of our new album to anyone who intends to play it for 10 new
potential fans. b. What is your favorite
sex position and why? The Hellhammer. I’ve never
actually attempted it, but I have detailed schematics that I sketched when I
was bored in the studio last year. It requires 2 very liberal-minded gentlemen
with a lot of upper body strength, and one very flexible woman with a high pain
threshold and an unusually large lung capacity. Less a sexual position, more of a diabolical imposition for all parties involved. c. Bondage: yes or no? I’m gonna have to land on
NO. Early one morning I once accidentally stumbled upon a private bondage
soirée in a Chicago biker bar. I enjoyed watching the plump fellow in the pig
mask and diaper getting repeatedly tazered by a dominatrix. I imagine the look
on my face was similar to that of a young Charles Darwin, -the first time he
set eyes on the mysterious creatures of the Galapagos Islands. d. So what was that story
about you making out with a dude and did you get aroused? No. It was a semi-homo means
to a very hetero end. I won’t get into it. 9. FROM
N&J ??????Benji,
You've been in the music industry for a while now, and not only have you grown as a person but
your music has grown a lot and so have
your fans. My best friend and I have been listening to GC since we were
in elementary school - which is a really long time. We literally grew up on
your music and turned from little jerks, to awkward teenagers who thought we
were super cool and totally punkrawk and then into the [way] cooler people we
are today. A lot has
changed since then, and though we don't listen to GC 24/7 anymore, we still like to throw back and drive around
the city blasting your music and
singing around like old times. My question is: how do you feel about having
this type of impact on people's lives and being the music they were raised on? :] N&J, Thanx
so much. that is kind of a cool question, its strange for me to think that our
music is a part of peoples soundtracks to their lives and the memories they
have with their friends and their families growing up. How does it feel. I have
to be honest. that is the part i love the most. More then any money i could
ever make or any award i could ever get. Knowing that there are some people out
there that feel the way about my band that i feel about some of the bands i
love, that really makes me excited to finish this record we are working on now
and get back out there and show them who we are today. to give them more lyrics
let them in a little more and show them they weren't wrong. It gets me excited.
Thanx for that and i really hope you guys dig "Cardiology" take
care!
I want to thank my personal
sensei, BENJI MADDEN, for taking the time to bestow some excellent advice upon
the Raccoon Society this week. All the Madden brothers are incredibly generous
in terms of friends and fans, and Benjamin has gone above and beyond here,
handling some of your heavy topics with ease.

????Mikey.
I know this sounds really stupid, but there is this boy that I have a crush on. Me and him were "together" before, but he ended it because his friend liked me and he said that he didn't feel like he was being a good friend. I still like him and we are still friends, but he doesn't like me in a "girlfriend" kind of way. And I sort of feel like he is trying to make me feel like crap because he knows that I like him, yet he still asks me for advice on girls. I don't really want anyone other than him. He is the only guy I know who listens to the same tunes as me, likes the same movies, shares a fascination with Batman and zombies, and isn't a complete prick. As much as I hate to say it, I'm thinking about just giving up on him. Should I?
Sara Hall on November 23, 2009 at 11:30 AM
Mikey????? i REALLY like this guy at school, and before i met him i never believed in love. i hate all those stupid romcom's coz they're so cheesy. but this is different. my friends say go 4 it and ask him out but there's another girl at school who is always flirting with him and won't leave him alone, which really makes me feel worthless and upset. i feel like no one will ever like me the way i like him. he hates clingy girls and everything, but this guy i know thinks he might like her back. any advice??? the guy i really like is invading my thoughts every 5 secs. thnx so much. ily!!! xoxoxoxox

Hey Mikey, I'm a christian and I was just wondering were you guys stand in religion, I know you curse in some songs and I don't think you have any religion based songs, but you guys are so different from normal bands, and you sort of stand apart trying to get away from drugs and sing about good and meaningful things. I was just wondering about you guys, because you are all so amazing, but like sometimes I worry :\

hey mikey!,when do we get to see MCR back on action?-we can't wait! it feels like 4 years!!!

Mikey I am gettin' a bass guitar for Christmas and I was just wondering what you think the best brand is.my chemical romance is the best band in the world.
amanda cary on November 1, 2009 at 07:16 PM
Hello Mikey,
It annoys me so much how everytime I mention My Chem, I always have people tell me how bad they are live and how their music doesn't make sense. I just flip them off, I mean honestly, what do they know? I couldn't care less on what people say, I'm a fan and it will stay that way.
Aaaanyway, my question is, what pressures you the most? Is it a big stage, or interviews with you as the main subject, or questions like these? x] Anything, when it pressures you, how do you react?
Thanks and good luck on answering the rest of these.
Love, Sammi from London.
Sam on October 31, 2009 at 09:20 AM
MIKEY???
First of all LOVE the band theyre like number 1 on my list.
Second I want to ask you a question and get your opinion not the band because i think it must be a little annoying when people never ask you a question for you as a person not for you and the people you work with.
How did or do you deal with peer pressure?
because as me and my friends grow older, my friends started changing like skipping school ,partying and honestly I know people may say its a normal thing for 15 year olds to do but im really not in to that sort of stuff but they dont understand that.
Another question: How did you explain something that you try to make people understand from your point of view?
Im not getting my hopes high for an answer because there are loads of people who asked questions. Im just asking what you would do...
Thanks

On to my teenage years; My social life was quite very near the bottom, me having literally only four friends up until like, 6th grade. I'm still hurt daily and picked on. Just yesterday I counted six or seven of my supposed friends laughing and throwing food at me for unknown reasons. I missed my Fall Ball concert, which I'd been dreaming about for three weeks, and the guy I like, he was the one who started the throwing of items; I now have three cut marks on my arms, and they weren't there before I got home. I'm not usually one to unload my life-stories on someone who doesn't even know who I am. I know you would care, because I've seen what you've said. And NO ONE can fake all those words. I'm again asking for advice, what the FUCK should I do? I'm 14, I live in semi-poverty, my whole family objects to my new vegetarian lifestyle, and my life is having less and less meaning by the day. Not that therapists aren't helpful and all, but... I've had a therapist. Lots of them. For different stuff, too. I don't do well with people who don't get me. I'm just about as smart as they are and they can't help me. I sorely wish they could, but... it's not possible. I know you'll probably not have any advice, and I'm sorry for the trouble, but could you give some condolence to the girl who might not be here next year?
Love, sincerely, and all that crap...
that girl named Frankie.
Frankie Runge on October 30, 2009 at 10:33 PM
?????Mat
I know lots of comments or whatever begin like this, but URGH.
I'm not whining about not getting questions answered, I'm hardly even whining. I'm not complaining; the sound I make is not one of complaint, but of worry, severe inner depression, self-loathing in the worst possible way, and the pain of being overloaded as the serious one.
I know you probably don't remember me, because, who honestly would? I'm not special, my name isn't clever, and my stories aren't that interesting. But oh well, I came to this comment box to ask you:
What the fuck should I do?
Put simply, my life's story is actually longer than most, but still just as pointless. The bad parts outweigh the better parts, being as numerous as they are bad. I got molested when I was 3, then again when I was 6 or 7, parents divorced, hate each other utterly and completely, battle each other constantly and use my sister and I as tools to hit the other with, in which I am the smaller, younger, and more easily bruised/scarred-physically and mentally- and I can't seem to figure out what I did to make it like this.
-c- because the comment box is being a douche...
Frankie Runge on October 30, 2009 at 10:33 PM
could you tell your brother can i have his number on the cellphone gerald way and you of course and your band is my favorite band in the world could you give me your number too that would be helpful.

brooke irby on October 29, 2009 at 06:33 PM
Hey mikey, I know you'll never read this, but will MCR ever come to albuquerque on a tour? Because we really want you to come.. I know everyone asks the band to come to their town.. But yeah, that would be awesome.
Thanks to you and MCR for really helping me out of some tough spots. You really saved my life. My parents took away my MCR CDs but I still listen in secret when I can. Thank you for doing more than I can say. I'll always stay a fan.
Fueledbyloveandramen on October 29, 2009 at 12:32 PM

I am a big fan of MCR you guys really helped m out of a dark spot in my life thanks. I Really want to go to art school but my parents said that I can't because they will disown me and won’t help me pay for it they really want me to be a lawyer but I don't want that at all. Paying for school is not really a problem for me because I have been saving since the second grade for school, but I don't think I would be ok with them disowning me I mean we fight all the time but I still love them. What should I do should I do what I love and know I'll be happy dirt poor and alone but happy or should I do something that will never truly make me happy?

Ps. By “dark spot in my life” I meant I only listened to country music. I had a Toby Keith poster on the wall in my room. I got in to a lot of great bands because of you guys thanks again.

Ninny on October 22, 2009 at 09:17 AM
Hi Mikey,
I'd just like to thank you. Well, you Gerard, Bob, Frank, and Ray. Oh and Matt, if I' going to thank Bob I have to thank Matt. A couple years ago my friend introduced me to My Chemical Romance's music and I got hooked. You hear this a lot, but I seriously don't know where I'd be if she hadn't had me listen to Teenagers. When she showed me the video I was going through a depressed, dark, rebellious stage, I'd come home and go straight to my room. I rarely talked to my parents and was always in a bad mood. The only thing that kept me from doing anything self-destructive was my mom's threats to commit me. She was already talking about making me go to a shrink. I wasn't having that. So when my friend got me to listen to that song, I pretty much fell in love with (more in obsession with) Gerard, to me he was like an angel sent from heaven to get me through. I looked up every possible thing about Gerard and the band, eventually my friend got extremely annoyed. Over the past couple years my obsession has gone away, but my love for the music and my feelings about Gerard being an angel are still intact. I realize this sounds extremely corny but it's all true. I look forward to the time, whenever it might be, that MCR goes back on tour in the United States so that I can thank all five of you in person.
I have a few questions for you incase you read this. Why are you guys touring everywhere but the U.S. in the next couple of months? Have any of you ever became good friends with a fan you met on tour? Who was the craziest person you've ever met on tour? How did Gerard react to the 9/11 terrorist attacks? I heard he was like right across the street or something when it happened and he watched it first hand. I also heard that this was part of the cause for MCR, did it effect him more deeply than that?
...Thanks,
Derinda

I don't have anyone to talk to, so when in turmoil, turn to MCR. Specifically, you, in this instance. Everything in my life has gone utterly and completly wrong. I always find some way to stuff up everyting I touch. I have wracked my brains but can only come up with one solution, but on Life On The Murder Scene, we were told not to piss our lives away on that. It seems to be my only remaining option, although one of my frineds encourages therapy, I'm not about to do that. I'm drowning in this life I hate so much. What do I do?
p.s Sorry to burden you with this, but I figured I should talk to soomeone before I do something rash.
Thank you.

Hey, if you're reading this..... you probably never will, but hey, who knows? Anyways. I want to know if one of the band members, preferabbly Frank, could write me a letter with his signature inside. It wouldn't even have to say anything, and it would mean the world to me. If you want me address for the letter, email me first at keeks96@gmail.com. Thanks soooo much.
ps- thank you ever so much for inspiring me to draw the pictures, write the music, and take the photos i do. It's pretty much MCR and Green Day that has kept me alive and healthy and where i am today. You have shaped my entire life; beliefs, personality, everything. Without you, i am nothing. Just... i cant even express my infinite gratitude. Thank you.

Anyways I saw you in Tempe,AZ and I met some girls there and they had seen you the day before in Tucson I heard you fell I just wanted to know what happened because the one girl said you were singing to her or something? and I want to say my friend that introduced me to you was supposed to go with me but never did and I think she was shattered when she found out she couldn't go. I went and I got the setlist from you guys and you signed it so I want to say thank you for making my friends dream come true(well she wanted to meet you but she said that would work because she's not spoiled(she is the farthest thing away from it)) and for helping me do that for her.

Mikey, i know your band is a band that saves lives. Definantly saved mine. But lately, i've been feeling so horrible. I just don't wanna do anything with my friends anymore! I will even spend weekends in my room by myself. And i am 16 years old, i'm not sure if this is part of growing up, or this is a real problem.. My mom has tried to talk to me about it and she came to the conclusion that a) i have no friends (i'm not exactly the.. popular girl at my school- unlike my two sisters who have a high level on the social scale) or b) a few years ago, i was put on medication for severe anxiety, and she blames it on that. She refuses to admit that there is something wrong with me. I just really want to be happy like i used to be, and i want to live my teenage years to the fullest. Any adcive?

Heyy. I was just wondering, have you ever read Twilight? I find it to be the best book in the world. It inspires me, like you and the rest of My Chemical Romance. If you have, tell us what you think about it and how it compares to the movie.
Keep Rockin'

ps- if you haven't read it and you have some free time in your super busy schedule, I encourage you to read it. It's magnificent :)

Hey I'm sorry. You keep getting all these stupid comments and questions. I just saw someone posted "I love the song "Dancing Before Disco"" They can't even get the song title right... So yeah. I absolutely love your band, for the music. I hope you're happy that you guys have inspired me and so many others to try to live out their dreams. So a few questions:
Do you have any tips for new guitar players? (I know you play bass, but it's sort of the same thing...)
I've heard many stories about how/how long it took you to learn bass. Was it really "overnight?"
What's your favorite MCR song???
Who do you feel is the most talented member of the band?
The funniest?
The quietest?
If you could tour with ANY band (alive or dead) who would it be?
You certainly don't have to answer all of these, but it would be REALLY awesome if you answered at least one....

My father has a brain tumor that surrounds the main artery that supplies blood to his heart. He often has excruciating headaches and the tumor effects his eye sight greatly. The good news is that it's operable and there's only about a 1% chance of him dying during the surgery, but since he will be under anesthesia for more than 8 hours, there is always a possibility that he can have a stroke. Since the tumor is in his frontal lobe, his personality will more than likely change for the first few months of his recovery. And that worries me very much. (I'm even tearing up at the moment because I'm a dork like that) My question to you is; what is one of the hardest ordeals that is family related that you had to cope with? How did you cope with the situation?
