excuse me while I rant...

I wasn’t going to say anything on here because I am sure that the main reason why I started this blog won’t be affected by it. But I can just feel myself getting more frustrated every minute so I think it’s best to just do this once and get it over with.

Because... I just can’t believe the things I am reading at the moment. And I don’t mean the things those gossip websites are writing, but the things some actual fans are spreading and saying. I mean how can you, as a fan, decide to believe these sensationseeking sites over the man himself. Has it ever occurred to you that when Richie says he’s taking care of personal issues, he’s actually taking care of personal issues? And when they say they are not fighting, they are not fighting. And when Jon and Richie both say that Richie will be back soon they dó mean he will be back soon?

I know some people might think I’m ignorant but if you do, then I’m probably talking about you in this blog as well. And I don’t care. Although I don’t have a specific person in mind while I’m writing this and I’m definitely not talking about my friends anyway. I’m just very disappointed in some people because it’s just as if they wánt to see their point proven. The point that there is actually something going on between Jon and Richie. Well I don’t know if there might be, but neither do you.

It’s just that when I look at the way they have been together lately and the fact that Richie actually only a couple of days ago said he was looking forward to going on tour again it just doesn't fit in with all the crap I’m reading. And that is exactly why Í decide to believe that something unplanned and unexpected has happened back home in LA, like he said.  I have been following this band for thirteen years and they never let me down. (And yes I wisely chose to ignore This Left Feels Right here) That is one of the reasons why they are as important to me as they are. That is one of the reasons why I think it’s worth it to see them live nine times this summer. And that is also why I believe them over these crap gossip sites.

Now of course, everybody is allowed to have their own opinion and I definitely don’t think mine is more important than anyone else’s but why spread all these rumours that we have no reason to believe and not take the guys on their word. It just might be the only thing that’s actually going on. PERSONAL stuff. It happens. They are human and we should leave it at that. Richie needs time and we should give him that and respect his decision.

And that’s all from me about this. I’ll be back later this month talking about the tour that is actually coming closer now!

Byeee
