  16. Post Your Pictures - Part 8

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    First of all, am I the only one who sees the resemblance between Katie and Kailey?! Dude, you look so much alike in those pictures, haha.

     

    Also Kailey: AJHSDJASHDAHD! Jealous! You and him both look amazing!

    How the hell do you meet so many celebs? You must have some great contacts, haha.

  17. Vegetarianism

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    I'm pretty sure I've said a lot about this before, but I'll say a few things now too, haha.

    I was a semi-vegetarian for 1,5 years, meaning I ate fish and chicken, but no red meat. I've always been an animal lover, and I've always had some sort of animal around me. If it was for me, I'd cut out chicken and fish too, but my parents and doctor said it was better if I started with red meat, and then see how it went. It didn't go all that well. I was sick for long periods, and my immune system wasn't exactly the best. So, after 1,5 years of loads of sickness I started eating red meat again. I didn't want to though.

     

    I got a lot of shit for it too. From people that didn't have any thing to do with. I was called after at school, people just made fun of me for it. Even my teacher laughed of me because of it. Needless to say that wasn't all that fun, but oh well, people suck.

     

    Anyways, I have a lot of respect for people who've gone through pretty much all their life being vegans/vegetarians. I'd like to try again. My plan is next year when I move out, it's a lot easier then :)

    I was hoping for a video confirming it, it's basically the only way we'd know if it was them or not.

     

    With that said, I definitely think this is going to split the fan base. But who are we to judge? We'll never know exactly how it went down. There are more sides to this than we'll know, and they all have a different perspective of it. Like Kayla said - they just explained why they left, I don't think they were trying to attack anyone personally. I also agree with her about how it probably would be ten times longer if you asked them about the good times.

     

    I've met them three times now(Hayley two times) and every time they've been total sweethearts. They've smiled, talked to me, hugged me and signed things. They seemed happy to be meeting the fans, and grateful for where they were. That's my personal impression of them. So I am not going to choose a side, because it won't do any good. I can see where both sides are coming from, there's no wrong or right answer to how to express how this happened. They can only say how they saw it, and it will please some, and hurt some. That's just how it is. And I won't start hating on any of them. Their music shaped me, and has been a huge part of my life for the last three years, no matter how cheesy that sounds, it's the truth. This won't change that. They still made that music, and put their hearts into it.

    Someone posted this in the comments on the post, I agree with most of it:

    Here are some points I'm going to make. I just want to let you know that I support every member equally. I'm dissecting the points made in this so it's easier to understand.

     

    1. The Hayley Show

     

    People talk about Paramore being "all about Hayley" all the time. I find it hard to listen to because we love every band member equally, but here's the facts from the statement.

     

    - I'm sure that the record label did try and get Hayley alone. She's extremely talented. But you have to realize first that Front Women rock bands were pretty uncommon at the time they were signing. The record label probably didn't see any potential for Paramore as a full out band, it's a miracle Hayley stuck to her guns and decided not to just quit on everybody. Even when the record label tried to fire all of the guys but keep Hayley they came back with stronger music. I think it would have been easy for Hayley to decide that she should just go solo, but she didn't.

     

    - Hayley's family. I don't think Hayley's family wanting her to go solo is nessesarily her fault. Sure, her Dad might have been mean to the band members, but that doesn't make Hayley herself some sort of evil person.

     

    2. The breakups

     

    - I wasn't surprised that Jeremy had been kicked out before RIOT was recorded, really. He did quit once before, after all. I love Jeremy, I really do, but if you looked at it through the band's eyes I'm sure it must have caused some controversy to let him back in TWICE. It's pretty obvious something big like that had to happen for Paramore to consider breaking up, even on top of Hayley and Josh's breakup.

     

    - Hayley and Josh's breakup. I'll admit, it pissed me off a tad bit to see Josh talk about Hayley so awfully when he DID date her, once. Surely he didn't hate her so furociously for 7 years, he must have really liked her at SOME point for them to have been dating for so long.

     

    3. Brand New Eyes

     

    - The bible stuff made me a little bit upset. Christianity is a religion, it's not your entire life. To be upset because a song was "against" a bible verse just doesn't register as something that's logical in my mind. However, I do understand that for someone as religious as Josh it would be considered upsetting.

     

    4. All the years

     

    I think that the entire blog is really dark and upsetting. It seems like they ignored the fact that they MUST have been happy at some point, why else would they do this for 7 years? From the way things are written it seems like they were never happy. So why would they stay if they were never happy? It seems a bit biased to me, I'm sure it was because they're obviously upset.

     

    In the end, I'm sure Hayley taylor and Jeremy will have something to say about this. I'm a little worried that there may be some "war" so to speak, and I sincerely doubt that the Farros will ever be really true friends with the other band members as well.

     

    In the final analysis, I think that because this IS one side of the story, it IS biased. Don't get your knickers in a twist yet, okay? I agree with some of the things that were said and disagree with others. Is it hard to read and is it difficult to think that all this could have happened? Yes. Is Hayley suddenly evil? No.

     

    Don't judge the full story until you hear both sides. Don't send hate mail. Don't quit the fan base. Do, however, send eternal support to Paramore, past, future, and present.
