that's a good interpretation.
what came to my mind was the fact that yesterday i got into a "tif" with a "famous" person. it was not a huge deal. but it was definitely a lot of diva-posturing and acting out. made me pretty disgusted though. i always pushed against the idea of fame. i struggle with it every day and try to find a balance. in my dream, those dudes that were from bands i looked up to when i was little (real punk bands - not pop-punk bands --they would have thought midtown was garbage) were just as hungry for fame as the actor who diva'd out last night. i think it was really about the breakdown of illusions for me. that in the end, the same negative desires can creep up in any people.

are you really sitting at home trying to deliberate over what kind of shit talking qualifies as "sharp? "
"was it clever or witty? No. That's the point i'm making here."

really?! that's it?! that's your whole point?
what are you a rocket scientist?
i can't wait to read your thesis paper

these kids were all the way in the back. there isn't security posted there. once i pointed them out from stage, and the kids kept talking shit, the guards quickly noticed them and helped them find the door.

i should probably just delete your comment, but it's so asinine that i want to respond to it (probably bc i'm a tad bit *tipsy*)

i don't think the point of my diatribe was to extol my witticism or "snark." i'm not the wittiest guy in the world (that's Ryland's job). but i am blessed with a bizarre ability to cut right down to the core. whether it be a philosophical polemic or a person's insecurity. it's a strange gift i posses, and i do my best to avoid using it towards negative ends. but when i come face to face with a person, i can instantly sense what his or her "buttons" are.

so again: this kid at the show was fucking with me, and i resorted to the quickest & cheapest shot to make him feel stupid. i'm not proud of that. and actually, it's kind of shitty. but when i think about it, in all honesty, he seriously can go fuck himself. he was trying to fuck with our band and ruin our show. i didn't physically beat his teeth into his skull. i just exploited his weakness. cheap shot? yes. but better than getting physical?

and i'm sure it's probably pretty easy for you to sit behind your computer and criticize me (was your post even a criticism? if that's what you were aiming for, you should try a little harder; there are way bigger holes in my rant other than my reference to myself as a "snarky ass motherfucker" [which really doesn't mean anything]). but you know what i look like and you know how i act (both at my best and at my worst) because people give enough of a shit about me to document it (again, not something i'm sure is a positive thing, but that's a reality in my life that i need to accept).

But who the fuck are you? i've got absolutely no clue. nor do i even care. all i know is that if i saw you face to face, i'd sense your flaws/insecurities in a second, i'd clown you, and i'd make you cower back behind your computer screen. without even lifting a finger.....*BRAAAAH*

again, not that that's a good thing, nor something i look forward to. but seriously: why are you even on my blog when you could be totally jacking off to pictures of your mom?

have a good night brahhhhhh

xoxox
your bff,
gabe

PS: if anyone wants to have a one on one chat with our brah to let him know how awesome his post is, his email addy is ambelight@hotmail.com

sorry, i can be kind of a dick... .. especially to people who come and talk shit to me on my blog. why don't you go talk shit on your own blog? oh! that's right. no. one. cares. xo

wait, so your problem is that there isn't enough variety in my shit talking? that i default to the same insults? well, i'm waaaay open to new ones. :) i've already considered the quadratic equation. let me know if you've got any that would really show those haters what's up!

Re: Losing my “cool” to a heckler in Kansas City

Gabe Saporta — Tue, 25 May 2010 03:03:56 -0000

it most certainly is exhausting. i don't even remember half the things you've mentioned. and you don't want to know about the ones i can't talk about....

this is why being famous is stupid. the bigger you get, the more people try to fuck with you, the more people there are who don't get you, and the more those people analyze everything you do.

i'm over it.

have fun without me guys!

EDIT: ADDENDUM -

here are my responses to some of the other comments i've already seen about this:

"doing what i had to do"

--"no gabe, you didn't HAVE to do that. you could have dealt with it more maturely. it's not that same thing as someone breaking into your house" etc..

when i say i "had" to do it - i don't mean that some moral code was compelling me to do what i did, nor that i was following the rock n' roll guide to on-stage etiquette. i just mean that i did what i had to do to get that negativity out of the show and off of us. "you didn't have to resort to that" what would you have liked me to resort to? saying he didn't know how to do solve a quadratic equation? ??? it's called shit talking for a reason. i didn't plan for it in advance, and i didn't have a script. and i felt bad immediately for calling him fat.

again, it wasn't pretty, and it wasn't my proudest moment, but that's not really what the point of my post was. the point of this rant is that i don't understand why anyone is making such a big deal about this. a) it wasn't the biggest thing in the world and b) it definitely should not be surprising.

and when i bring up the "someone breaking into your house" business; i am not saying it's the same thing! if i were saying that, i would be trying to make an excuse for stabbing the kid in the face. and i obviously didn't do that. i just pushed back on a bully. the point of me talking about someone breaking into my house was to do make an ANALOGY. i was speaking METAPHORICALLY. get it? good.

ugh. this gets real old real fast.

really? is that what you think? "that every *hint* of criticism/misinterpretation brings out this reaction" from me?

do you honestly believe that this was the only time i've been heckled at a show?
i'd say i get the finger about 90% of the shows we play. and usually it doesn't bother me, or if it does, i try to rise above it. but sometimes i can't. and that really isn't about me. it's about how much negativity those dudes were throwing. everyone has their boiling point. mine just happens to be caught on youtube for the world to see. and it's not about wasting energy. it's about throwing all that negative energy back at the fuck who was throwing it to me. i don't want it.

yeah i wish i could always choose the path of peace and understanding. but unfortunately there are a lot of assholes out there. and i'm not in the business of letting them shit on me.

those guys were clearly just there for 3oh3, and decided to stay just to fuck with us.

thanks for trying to explain it. i know there are a lot of people who had an intuition of my point of view, but may not have known how to articulate it. hopefully my words can help others express themselves as well.

Re: Losing my “cool” to a heckler in Kansas City

Gabe Saporta — Tue, 25 May 2010 01:43:01 -0000

why were there frat boys? hmmmm, let's just say that despite a good overlap in fans, 3oh!3 have some very ignorant followers that don't really get their irony.... and DEFINITLEY not ours.

and unfortunately, i do have to explain myself. i don't really care what people who already hate me say--all they do is look for anything to jump down my throat on. but when i start getting emails from fans saying they have lost respect for me, it really bums me out. it's one thing to find people talking shit about you on a website where all people do is talk shit, but it's another thing to go to a cobra fan site and find that. it was really disheartening.

unfortunately everything i do is analyzed under a microscope. and if that's the way it's gonna be, i'm gonna do my best to make sure people know what they're looking at.
