Last week, Josh tagged me with the “Five Reasons Why You Blog” meme. I’ve been slacking–putting it off because I never know what to say. So, I thought that I’d let my favorite band tell you why I blog.

Fall Out Boy always seems to say what I think, and so it makes sense to me to let them be the words from my mouth. Take these how you think they mean. Because that’s what I mean, if you know what I’m saying. Can I be any more cryptic?

  1. Tonight the headphones will deliver you the words that I can’t say. (Tonight I’m writing you) a million miles away. — Homesick at Space Camp; Fall Out Boy
  2. I’ll be your best kept secret, and your biggest mistake. The hand behind this pen relives a failure every day. — Nobody puts Baby in the Corner; Fall Out Boy
  3. This has been said so many times that I’m not sure if it matters, but it must be said, again, that all us boys are just screaming into microphones for attention because we’re just so bored. We never knew that you would pick it apart, oh I’m falling apart to songs about hips and hearts. – Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part to Save the Scene and Stop Going to Shows); Fall Out Boy
  4. I left my conscience pressed between the pages of the Bible in the drawer, “What did it ever do for me” I say. It never calls me when I’m down. — XO; Fall Out Boy
  5. This might just be a waste of time–there’s no one I’d rather waste my time with than all my best friends. — The World’s Not Waiting (For Five Tired Boys and a Broken Down Van); Fall Out Boy

I know I’m supposed to tag people for this, but the only one I can think of that hasn’t done it yet is Kamigoroshi. So, if you’re reading this, and you haven’t done the meme yet, consider yourself tagged.

(and I’d love if you left your links in the comments)
