Totally Ticked me off 2names....

Alright I have to come out with it already. I’m blazing pissed. Just a little bit…

2names (my dear ol college friend) went to the Blink 182 concert with her younger brother on Sunday night. Monday morning she called me on her way into work as she normally does. I ask her about the concert and what’s the first thing outta her mouth?

“Is Mark gay?”

I’m like “What? Who?”

“Mark, from Blink is he gay?”

“Uh no…where did you hear such a thing?”

“My brother told me that he came out a few years ago, that he is gay,” she says.

“Well I haven’t heard that, and I’m pretty sure I would’ve … I wonder if his wife and kid knows that he’s gay?”

“Well I looked it up on the internet and I saw some stuff that corroborated his statement.”

“Whatever,” is what I’m thinking in my head. First of all, I would know if he was gay. And secondly, don't believe everything you see or hear on the internets.

Now let me set the record straight, it doesn’t really matter if he is gay, well except that he’s been a bit of a crush of mine for well going on 12 years so even though I’m happily married and supposedly he is too, him being gay pretty much totally takes him out of contention, you know ... for my list, you know of famous people I would bang, if you know ... given the chance to bang a famous person your spouse can’t be mad, you know ... if we were ever to meet in a smoky bar or a burrito joint out in San Diego, where he goes to just get a few bean burritos in between writing love songs about some Midwestern girl, (its not as though I've thought at all about how the opportunity might present itself) but beyond that, him being gay is just a bit of a let down … in the hopes of the banging department. I mean I can't take him off the list. Who would I replace him with?

But anyway, he isn’t gay, he is still married … to a woman.

But not only did she try to dash my hopes of the whole bangin’ Mark someday, she also pretty much said that Blink sucks…seriously what is this woman trying to do to me at 7 a.m. on a Monday morning, has she completely lost her ever lovin mind?

“I wasn’t really that impressed,” she’s like. “I’m kinda glad I didn’t spend my own money on the ticket.”

Hmmm, really? I’m thinking “how can she say that?” Does she not remember who she is talking to? Does she not recall the 30 minute video I personally made and sent to MTV to get a chance at being a Blink 182 Fanatic? Does she not remember the people from MTV contacting me and telling me that I was one of three finalists for the first ever live Fanatic Show? Does she not remember my 30 secs of fame on MTV? Or the hoops I and a friend had to jump through to get me to my first Blink 182 concert because she was being a bitch and left me. (there is a drama filled back story to her leaving me, might have to do with me and two others up and moving out on Niner but that’s beside the point). I own every CD damn near, I have 2 of their video releases, got the book, I follow them on Twitter, I wore black and pink on the day it was announced they were going on a hiatus, also on the day that Mark got married (that day was also a day I deemed for mourning) and I’ve been to their shows at least 3 times and she has the nerve to tell me it basically sucked.

“Ya, if you don’t have a lot of money to spend, I wouldn’t get a ticket when they come to Dallas,” she says. “I mean I don’t remember Tom being so whiney when he sings. And the dick jokes got a little old. I mean I laughed at some of them, but I don’t know….I was just more impressed with the Greenday concert I guess.”

Um…hate to break it to ya 2names but that is how they roll. Tom is whiney, always has been always will be, some nights its worse than others, but its something I’m able to overlook. Dick jokes? What did you expect? This is Blink 182 their adolescent humor is part of their charm for me. I get a kick out of it. But then again I am the 13 year-old boy stuck inside the body of a 30-something woman.

She did try to smooth things over and say it might also have had to do with the venue as to why she didn’t like it….again I say ‘whatever.’



I seriously don’t know who she thinks she is, bad mouthing my boys like that. She can no longer call herself a fan…We should give her a good ol fashioned flogging or something. She obviously doesn’t deserve the right to enjoy a Blink show, and should be punished for such blasphemous remarks. Don't let that smiling face fool ya, this woman is pure evil.
