tis better to be lonely on a friday than be stuck with a cluster of jerks.

Robert Smith is in love.

[jusscali]

i can just picture him sitting there in front of him computer trying to come up with the best combination of contrived, and cliche lyrics possible for the new album that mtv will pimp the shit out of. probably lookin up some movie quotes for some good song titles too. He had a bad week, and i dont feel much sympathy. i loved this band, but theres something about pete being a complete douchebag that kinda puts me off.

im sure everything chris said was the truth.
it wouldnt surprise me.

im just hoping they bounce back with a great third record.

i was with you through the whole post except that i really dont hope they put out a great 3rd record, but rather, realize that they ARE just a contrived cliche band and wither away like other shitty bands.

[projectmayhem16]

the worst part about this all is that this guy actually thinks he's 10 times more interesting than he really is, yeah Pete you're so deep and in touch with yourself, exposing insecurities on the internet is endearing, I cant take a guy seriously who takes pictures of his dick right before he inserts it in Jason Tates mouth

The funny part is that you come off 10 times more pretentious than he does. I can't imagine the rude shit people would ever say about you if/when you became famous.

[A picasso blue]

did you just get insulted by Pete Wentz?

Then don't read it, you piece of shit. Tons of band members have journals, shut your mouth cause exposing someones 'insecurities' isn't much better.

"piece of shit" is a bit bloody harsh is it not? He's only expressing his opinion and I've seen people be way nastier about it than him. The fact of the matter is Pete Wentz takes pictures of his cock and sends them to girls he is trying to fuck, That is almost Michael Jackson like in it's creepiness. However, i did think that some of the writing he did in that post was pretty good, a little bit of a Chuck Palanihuk rip-off but still entertaining. But why does he think anyone is interested in it? Surely a famous musicians journal would be a place for detailing little incidents that happen on the road or giving opinions on world events / movies / music etc. Why would you want to have an online pity party for yourself? I'm just rambling here...

[zizou1790]

poor pete, life must be so tough

haha i knowwww

[zizou1790]

it must be terrible to be a rich big name rockstar

[Blared]

Someone needs to tell this fruitcake to stop talking.
And I'm talking about "petey" like seriously...he has nothing to complain about/talk about/write about/think about. He's probably rolling in money and all he did for it was play some crappy bass in songs that somehow sound good.

self-referential?what are you fucking 13?

[pasthefence49]

um DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHH

[IAPAI]

what are you fucking 13?

No, I'm responding to the guy who thinks that once a guy makes money he doesn't have thoughts or feelings, and that if he does he has no right to post them online.

"Someone needs to tell this fruitcake to stop talking"??? And you are calling me 13? Let's think about what side you're taking a bit more carefully here.

[Kyner]

Awwwwww petey.....life is so rough. What a fucking drama queen.

[BrokenWindow]

Any of ya'll douchebags saying that he can't have problems because his band is popular ever heard of a statement like this?

~All the money in the world dont mean a thing~

That was written by a band who isn't that big called Don't Look Down, go listen to it, its called "Defined by your Desire", maybe you will learn something.

[projectmayhem16]

Really, you need to get over it. If a band's fame troubles you this much, start meditating or something.

[projectmayhem16]

Really, you need to get over it. If a band's fame troubles you this much, start meditating or something.it has nothing to do with the bands fame, if you look at my initial statement and READ then you would know that, thank you very much, now fuck off

[IAPAI]

I did read your initial statement. And I still think that you're being a hypocrite for thinking he's pretentious.

So how can Don't Look Down know what Pete wentz is going through if they DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY? Surely only rich people can truly say wether or not having money is better than being poor?

And you honestly think Pete Wentz was in alone on a Friday noght and it wasn't through choice? He is a hude selling artist on one of the biggest record labels in the world. if he doesn't want to be alone on a friday night he won't be alone. This is all a carefully crafted persona he has cultivated so all the loser kids think he is 'just like them' and no, I'm not some bitter jaded scenester. I actually like FOB's music, I just hate all the bullshit that surrounds the band.

...HE'S THE BASSIST IN A POP-PUNK BAND. PETE IS NOT A FUCKING GOD. Half the people here can see this idiot is just an over dramatic attention getter. Don't even tell me you wouldn't be happier with money. He has NOTHING to complain about. He can write in his stupid journal if he wants, just don't be an idiot when you know how many people are reading it.
I'm starting to hate this board.

honestly, that might have been the worst possible way to defend mr. pete's journal woes. for example, ever hear of a statement like this: "Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction."

and i don't think anybody is saying this nutjob should be stripped of all feelings, i think we're saying that everyone has their problems in this world, and most of them are far more important than being alone in your southern california mansion on a friday night.

[Blared]

By the way, if I give you a million bucks and kill off your family, friends and everyone close to you, then strike you with some crippling disease -- how happy would you be? You wouldn't complain ... at all?

[Mr_Ian]

Oh man, you got that memo too? I wondered who else heard about how money solves all life's problems.

Points for being witty but I think you'll find It doesn't solve all of them but it sure helps. For example, Pete Wentz could afford to pay a large man to stand behind him at all times to say "If you're thinking about taking pictures of your penis i would advise against it, sir" nothing else, just that. hell, I'd do that job.

[Jared Kaufman]

Or about 3 or 4 like everyone else in this topic. But good one.
What does anyone else have to do with anything? Ok, you're right -- they're attention getters too.

[Adeniz19]

ill catch a look in the mirror at myself on the way up the stairs and i realize that i am not much different from the loser i was in 8th grade

wow man he really gets me*insert he had a small penis back then too joke*

omgz!

A little bit different then Mr. Petey here. Oh no, he put pictures of himself online. Oh no, he's home on a friday night. Oh no, I'm in one of the most popular bands and I write in this stupid journal that means nothing. Please.

[Jared Kaufman]

Hahaha. My point is if he loses a relative, gets into a feud with a good friend, has embarassing moments, and so forth -- money doesn't solve any of that or take away from the agony, pain, whatever.

[Blared]

What does anyone else have to do with anything? Ok, you're right -- they're attention getters too.
Lolzers. Okay. I made 20 posts? There's other people in here saying the same thing as me.

I'm sure you know everything that's going on in this man's life (especially behind-the-scenes). If you think what he posts about in his journal is the depth of his life, then you are sadly mistaken. You don't know one thing about this guy, his personal demons, trials, etc. He could suffer from serious depression for all you know. And even if what you think he says is crap, I give him all the credit in the world for more than staying in touch with his fans. The majority of bands or people would cut off anything resembling contact with their fans if they got this huge.

[projectmayhem16]

Lolzers. Okay. I made 20 posts? There's other people in here saying the same thing as me.yeah but Jared wont say anything to me cause we're tight like that and he knows I'm a dick :)

[Jared Kaufman]

[Mr_Ian]

Hahaha. My point is if he loses a relative, gets into a feud with a good friend, has embarassing moments, and so forth -- money doesn't solve any of that or take away from the agony, pain, whatever.

Very true, however he could also afford to pay someone (not necessarily a large man) to stand behind him at all times and say "If you're thinking about writng all your woes on the internet for all to see, please don't sir. People will make fun of you because you are famous and they are right to do so. Bono keeps a journal...in book form, sir." I wouldn't do that job though, too wordy.

[Jared Kaufman]

yeah but Jared wont say anything to me cause we're tight like that and he knows I'm a dick :)
And you have an undying love and appreciation for mewithoutYou as much as I do.

I'd rather him shut the hell up. He's not talking about anything that matters. If he has that many problems, and writing in a livejournal helps it, then his life isn't all that bad. I'm just saying this guy needs to stop acting like he's the shit. He's a bassist in a pop-punk band. He's not deep and needs to stop acting like it. Thank you.

Pete more than keeps in touch with his fans via his journals. He gives details about videos, new songs, answers fans' questions, etc. Btw, I hardly think he thinks he's the "shit" when he refers to himself as a "dirty, shitty boy" all the time.

[End is Forever]

Hey Jared, I'm with you man. You know Pete, so im assuming you know more than some kid on a messageboard hating on him because he's living his dream. Sure he might come off a little overdramatic, but everyone does at times. Half you people are saying "Oh, he's alone on a Friday night boo hoo, must suck to be famous", but you're missing the point of the two entries he wrote. You're just latching onto hatever you can to put in a smart comment and personal attack on a man. I've got no shame in admitting it, I think Pete can write, and I like Fall Out Boy, and I will continue to until I am given a reason otherwise.

[GoWaitInTheCar]

I understand when Pete Wentz is brought up, it gets so many replies.
But does anyone on staff realize it's just because everyone loves to hate this guy?
I mean honestly, every time he opens his mouth it makes front page of this website.
And to me, it's direspectful for people who love music.

I don't mean to offend anyone, and i love our staff members here. But..

GET THIS SHIT OFF THE FRONT PAGE.


Who cares if he thinks he's stupid. If anyone else posted that on their journal would it make the front page of this website?


Aaron Weiss from mewithoutYou has the most interesting and deep blog out there. I don't see anyone caring about him and his thoughts and he actually has tons of intelligent things to say.
