After reading that article on AP inspired by the Alex Gaskarth stalking incident, I realized that by doing a lot of the things I do, particularly this blog, I am becoming apart of the corruption and creepiness of the music industry that I never wanted to be apart of. Certainly, it's nice tracking all of these memories, but I've finally realized that there are times when I've gone too far. That being said, I'm no longer writing about my shows EVER, I'm no longer going to go stalker crazy when I just happen to be at shows (at least I'll try not to...), and I'm going to try to enjoy the live music as much as I can without worrying about whether or not I'm going to be able to find Christofer Drew afterward. Ha.
I'll find another use for this blog... I'm just not sure what yet...
I live my life through music, and sometimes, I go to shows. This was me being a creeper, but now I think I'll write about more important issues regarding the music industry.

I know how you feel. Last night, my friend wanted to meet some of the band members, so we went outside and waited, like normal. This time I felt really awkward about it. It used to be such a normal thing for me, but at that moment I felt super creepy.
I mean, it's not bad meeting members, but I feel like the fans who feel like the band owes it to them to come outside of their bus to meet them is taking things a little too much for granted. I mean, if we went to a Lil Wayne concert or something, there's not going to be people waiting outside to meet him. Our scenes are so different, you know? Some where along the way it was decided that fans had the right to wait outside of the band's temporary residency to get a picture. Not to mention, make assumptions about anybody going in and out of the bus who is of the opposite sex.
The whole time last night, I just kept chanting to myself 'I don't know why I'm doing this, this is so creepy, I don't miss this, I really don't want to be here,' just so I knew that I knew better. Kind of like a self assurance, in a way, you know?
PS. I would have to murder you if you stopped seeing Envy. They're just too good not to see.
