Pete Wentz Held My Hand 2k15

Today is the day I will tell you about the time Pete Wentz held my hand. But to tell this story, I have to start from the beginning.

So, I arrive at the concert about an hour before it officially starts with my friend, my sister, and her French foreign exchange student. After purchasing some merch (I got a tour t-shirt and a Fall Out Boy flag) claim a spot in the pit, right in the center three people from the front. We wait not so patiently for the concert to start and finally after what felt like Centuries (pun intended), Hoodie Allen came on stage. Now I had never listened to Hoodie before so I obviously didn't know the songs, but it was fun all the same. After Hoodie Wiz Khalifa came on and we had a surprise visit from MAX.

Then it was the moment we had all been waiting for. I could not stand still and anxiously waited for FOB to come onto stage and make my dreams come true. Then...we heard it. Sugar We're Going Down. The crowd FLIPPED  and there was lot's of screaming. And all of a sudden they were there. Patrick, Pete, Andy, and Joe all on stage, literally nine feet away from me.

I'll spare you the details of of the concert because lets be honest, if I told you everything this would be a 5,000 page book. But I literally died 27 times. It was amazing. Patrick Stump has an amazing voice in real life and nothing can compete with it.


To soon was it over, and FOB ended with their hit song Saturday. I was killing it in the mosh pit and though sad it was over, glad that I got to see Fall Out Boy live.

But then something unexpected happened. Pete Wentz put his base down, grabbed a microphone and climbed into the pit to be held up by his fans. The crowd surged forward but I didn't care. Pete Wentz was now inches from me and I even touched his arm.

But then, through all the chaos and waving hands, Pete Wentz held  mine. I repeat. PETE WENTZ HELD MY HAND. I died for the 28th time that night. Shocked that Pete had grabbed my hand all I could do was gape up at him and I swear on all that is good on this sweet earth- Pete Wentz and I made eye contact and he smiled directly at me. 29th death. He held my hand for a good 12 seconds before he let go and moved on, but I didn't care. Pete Wentz held my hand. 

And then it ended. Fast forward to a few days later, still slightly in shock from the concert, still wearing my FOB t-shirt I had purchased, I was looking at pictures other people had taken when I found this photo:

At first I was like, "cool pic," but then I looked closer and saw it. My hand is in that picture. It is the one sideways and vertical in the air with the ring on it, right by the hand that is waving and looks like it has a drawing on it. You're probably thinking, "pfft, yeah right. How does she know that's her hand?" Well buddy, I've been living with that same hand for nearly 15 years and I think I would know what it looks like. Plus, I was wearing a ring on my right hand that night so I think it is safe to assume that that is in fact, my hand.

Anyway, that is my story of the time Pete Went held my hand and how I died 29 times.

I Don't What To Call This But Now The Title Is Like A Fall Out Boy Song So It Works Out

Well this is something long overdue. Fall Out Boy: my all time favorite band, my inspiration in life, amazing music, what else can I say? They're amazing, and it's about time I made a post about them because they deserve it. This post will probably be full of memes and crap most of you don't understand but hey, Fall Out Boy.

Let me just begin with why this is my favorite band. The members are hilarious. Pete Wentz is the meme king, Patrick Stump is a freaking cinnamon roll, Joe Trohman is hilarious, and Andy Hurley has a Cheerio fetish. Don't believe me? Just check out this photo:

These men are freaking amazing. They are very interactive with their fans, and won't hesitate to crack a joke. Despite being a dad band (thats right! Almost all of them have children), they are very up to date with technology and like I said before, Pete Wentz is the meme king. We all know how that
one Mean Girls meme goes, right? "On Wednesdays we wear pink." Well the Fall Out Boy version of this is "On Wentzdays we wear black eyeliner and eat pizza." If that isn't the best thing you've heard than I don't know what is.  Meme King everyone! 
Another reason why Pete, Patrick, Andy, and Joe are the amazing is because they take pictures like this:

Okay, I obviously have to like a band for their music because it would be pretty weird if I didn't like their music but looked up to the band members as role models. As I mentioned in previous posts, my favorite genre of music is punk rock, and that just happens to be what genre Fall Out Boy is. I know they may not look it (*cough cough* Walmart Photo above *cough cough*), but once you listen to their music, you'll understand. Take Sugar We're Going Down for example. Its punk, its rock, with a hit of memes on the side. Yep, punk rock.  
My favorite song by them is....alright I don't have a favorite song because I love them all and there is at least 87 songs to choose from so I mean, it would be kind of hard. But my favorite album is either Infinity On High or Save Rock And Roll. It's between the two because Save Rock And Roll was the the first album I listened to so I feel more connected to it, but Infinity On High has what I think is their best music. The other albums incase you were wondering are Take This To Your Grave, From Under The Cork Tree, Folie รก Deux, and American Beauty/American Psycho. 
I think the main reason I like their music is because...yep, you guessed it, the lyrics. From the ridiculous song title you wouldn't think that there was deep meaning behind the lyrics, but if you listen closely there is a lot of hidden meaning behind the words. What A Catch, Donnie is a perfect example. 

TOO CONCLUDE. Fall Out Boy is amazing and I am Fall Out Boy trash. If you haven't listened to Fall Out Boy, well then you should because they are the best band on the planet. See you later. :)
