Happy Birthday to our favorite camera-hating ninja, Bob Bryar.

MCRmy Twitter Domination
[[Note: I speak of the MCRmy as the MCR community as a whole, not as the official 'Rmy.]]
Yep, that's right. The MCRmy has dominated Twitter once again.
Check out the trending topics, and you'll know what I'm talking about. Huge shout-out goes to the MCRmyBR for their extreme hard work with getting this to trend! You guys are awesome! And high fives all around to everyone else who's been tweeting away to get this to work! We dominated Twitter with #ieroween, and with #happybirthdaymikey, now Bob has dominated Twitter too. Gerard and Ray are still waiting for their turns!
You guys ROCK!
xoxo

P.S: I will keep my eyes open and post again if #bobearday ever gets higher on the trends list! Keep tweetin'.
**EDIT**
Apparently, #bobearday got to FIFTH PLACE on the Trending Topic list! That is amazing!
Unfortunately I did not witness that - the highest I witnessed was sixth. I took a screen-shot for your viewing pleasure:
This is awesome you guys! At the moment, #bobearday is not trending, but the MCR community is currently trying to get #HappyBobBryarDay to trend. As mentioned in a previous post, we all voted on such hashtag so we are all tweeting the same thing-- therefore increasing the chace of a trending topic. The Brazilian 'Rmy happened to have their own hashtag (#bobearday), though, and theirs trended.
So please, please, please help out and get tweeting! We've done it before, we can do it again!
And just in case anybody is wondering, 'bobearday' is a little inside joke to the Brazilian MCRmy-- that Bob is a 'teddy bear'. Get it? At first I thought it was 'Bob beard day', but either w*y.

The Rev
Today is a truly horrible day in rock history.
December the 28th, 2009 we will remember as the day we lost one of the most talented drummers ever. James "The Rev" Sullivan, of the band Avenged Sevenfold, passed away today. It was reported to be a natural death, but the cause is still being investigated. A message from the band was posted on their website reporting the news, to read it click here.
All of us, I am sure, are devastated to hear about this. The Rev will always be remembered in our hearts as a drumming-hero, and let us hope he is having fun rocking out in a better place right now.
R.I.P James Owen Sullivan.
You will be deeply missed, we love you.
Best wishes to his family, friends, and bandmates.

Looots of Shit.
I'll try my best to keep this blog active and up to date with any updates, but I don't really have any readers so it's quite pointless. However I will continue with it, just in case I do gather up a few readers (which would be awesome-- if you are reading this, huge thank you, and a high five).
So, first thing's first.
An idea popped into my head recently. It wasn't creative at all, but oh well, I figured if there's not one yet then it must be creative, right? What do you - my invisible readers - think about a My Chemical Romance caption contest through Twitter? I definitely have more Twitter friends than readers on this blog, so if I get the word out through there it might turn out successful.
My plan is this: a new picture will be put up on Twitter every Saturday and will be there for three weeks. Captions for said picture will be submitted through e-mail, because of the limited amount of characters provided on Twitter. Anyone who does not want to participate through e-mail could send it through DM, although in that case they will be limited to 140 characters in their caption. The last week is voting week. I am not sure yet how I am going to do this- one idea is to use this blog, and advertise enough so I get some people to actually come here and vote. Another easier idea would be to link to such captions on Twitter and have people DM me their votes. This will give participants two weeks to come up with a caption and submit it to me.
I have NO CLUE if I'm going to go through with this. To be honest, I am an extremely lazy person, and usually if I get inspiration for a project - like this - I never go through with it. So if I don't actually creative this My Chemical Captions thing, no pissy-ness please.
What else. Recently I bought The Umbrella Academy. Can you believe I haven't read it yet, until now? Yeah, I can't either, because this shit is motherfucking amazing. I'm basically obsessing over it now. It's not because it's written by the lead vocalist of my favorite band, it's because I love it. I haven't read Dallas yet - shame on me - but... I'd need to buy it before I read it, and I haven't found it yet. I'm really starting to get into comics. It's strange, I was never into them before. Sure, I liked shit like Garfield - I was goddamn obsessed with that fat orange cat as a kid - but never into superhero comics before. I even wanted to be a comic book author/artist once, but it was more because of stuff like Garfield, Peanuts... c'mon, I was 8 years old. I even tried drawing my own one once. It... well, I don't even want to remember it. It was about this fucking weird rabbit. He was crazy or something, his name was Bigears, and he was famous & trying to run for president. Yes, laugh, laugh all you want. I'm laughing too. Fun to remember that type of old shit.
But that didn't go too far. Heck, I don't think I've opened a comic book in 4 years-- until I read Watchmen not too long ago. I'm out to buy X-men next. Hah, I'm starting to like this shit! I'm proud.
Now, updates. Not really updates because they're quite old but whatever.
From December 23rd: New article about My Chemical Romance's new album from the magazine Spin. It talks about the theme of the new album and also talks a little about Gerard's personal life at home with family. To read it, click here.
From just now: A quick little article from Fuse-- nothing new, most of it's just a quote from a previous article. But anyway, to read it, click here.
Ahh, I'm getting so excited for the new album. I remember that bigass blog I posted a few months ago, and how I was literally bad-mouthing My Chem about their new songs. I completely regret that. Those recordings were crap quality. I should wait until the studio version to judge anything. Anyway, I listened to those recordings again, and actually really liked them. I think I like 'The Drugs' the best from The Roxy show, and second best would be 'Death Before Disco', although I'm completely psyched to hear 'Hail to the King' [previously 'Kiss the Ring/Rain' or 'L.A Heavy'] as a studio recording as well. Yes, I am still excited for 'The World is Ugly' and 'Stay Awake' too.
But other than the stuff we've already heard, I'm most excited for 'Save Yourself, I'll Hold Them Back'. I quote from Gerard in the AP article, "This song is about the importance of a believer over a victim." That's deep, man, and makes me really excited to hear it. Gerard also states that there is some Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in that song, so of course I'd like it. Second best to that would be 'The Only Hope for Me is You', said to be a "cousins to Famous Last Words." I noticed how the two tracks - that I haven't heard yet - are both said to sound like something I've already heard (in this case Famous Last Words and '...Revenge'). I'm disapointed in myself for this, because I shouldn't be afraid to try new things, instead of sticking to their old sound and ONLY liking that. So the third track I'm most excited to hear is, yes, 'Black Dragon Fighting Society'. It's so freaking different than everything MCR's made in the past, but I want to hear it, and I don't know why.
Let's just fucking hope for a summer US tour. Please?!
I'm rambling. But wait, one last thing:
We all miss the Revenge-era. Admit it, we do. Everything from the red ties, to the craziness, to Warped Tour, to the amazing tracks we all love the most from Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. But, with this new album coming out - with this new sound, with this new image... will people soon be saying 'fuck, I miss Parade so much'? Will the theatrics, costumes, bleached blond hair, and beautiful story told behind the lyrics of The Black Parade soon become just as 'missed' as Revenge?
It'll probably happen with every album, though. I was just thinking about it, because in the past that would have seemed ridiculous, since I know a lot of people who just didn't enjoy Parade at all. Who knows, though.
I really should shut up now.

Mikey Hunting
Yep, that's right folks. I'm STILL Mikey hunting.
And goddammit, Mikey, you're hard to find.
But I will find you, young Mr Way. No matter what... -evil laugh-.
I ordered some merch yesterday - finally. I have a long wait ahead to pick it up, though; been shipped to my grandparents' of whom I'm visiting mid-January. I got three t-shirts - "I Survived", "Drumline", and "Military Ball" - as well as a hoodie - "Live and Die" - and those popular fingerless gloves. Hopefully the AP poster will be included in the order - however it did not clarify if it was or not.
***
Now for some updates.
So, there's a rumor going around from Mr Iero that the album's set to be released around May, 2010. It's certain to be Spring, no doubt, but a recent tweet from the guitarist's Twitter account hinted May:

Another article hinted March, but who knows? It could be released anytime from March to June. I'm just crossing my fingers there will be a summer US tour!

Psyched.
Pretty psyched right now...
So I happened to walk into a bookstore today, not really planning on buying anything, just waiting for my dad and brother to be done with their browsing at the electronic store. I happened to check magazines - totally not expecting to see what I've been searching ALL over for for the past month.
I bet you can guess what I'm talking about. The Alternative Press MCR magazines.
I could not BELIEVE they were there. I thought AP was only sold in the US. Apparently it's not - I'm in Dubai right now. I saw Gerard's first, and literally squealed. I got a few weird looks for that. Then I scavenged the aisle for Bob's, Ray's, Mikey's, and Frank's. I found them all, except for one. Mikey's. I'm really bummed about that, but I shall go Mikey hunting tomorrow. I'm also missing the one with all of them on the cover, but I'm not so bummed about that as I am with Mikey.
Let me tell you, if you don't have one of these magazines yet (which you motherfucking should) then, GO, get one. The article is really, really interesting. I'm not going to spoil it by summarizing it, however I might scan it once I get back home, for anyone who couldn't find it. It's pretty sad how long these have been in store, and I haven't even bought them until now, but the thing is I couldn't find them ANYWHERE. So I'm really psyched I finally did.
I also purchased the issue of Kerrang with the poster of Gerard. Woop.
So, just doing some Christmas shopping for myself.
New post from Mikey up on MCR.com.
Happy Holidays to all.

Warped Tour
[Yeah, it's about time I update this blog.]
Warped Tour; who's going?
To be honest, I don't know if I will. After seeing the list of bands that are playing, I didn't feel so pumped about going anymore. I don't even recognize most of those bands, and the several that I do are only attending part of the tour - the part that doesn't go to Denver, CO. So I'm pretty pissed off right now. I heard Alkaline Trio might go on Warped. If they're confirmed, then I'm sure to go. But if not, then it's still a maybe.
There are only 10 our of 62 bands I recognize that will be going to Denver. Is it worth it? I also noticed that last year, over 80 bands were on the tour. This year it's over 20 bands less. Was last year just special because it was Warped Tour's 15th anniversary? I'm crossing my fingers more well known bands will be added to the list eventually.
For the list of dates, click here.
Also, check out my DeviantArt, which doesn't have much at all now, but I'm sure to have some uploads later this week.
And if you must, add me on Myspace.
Thank you for reading this [terrible, boring, pointless] blog.
