Patrick Stump: WE LIKED YOU BETTER FAT: CONFESSIONS OF A PARIAH
There’s this really nice piece at underthegunreview.net by Jacob Tender that a friend forwarded me today. It’s about how important Fall Out Boy’s album “From Under the Cork Tree,” was to him. After reading it though, nostalgic and well-written as it was, I really found myself more depressed than…
I love Fall Out Boy. I love Patrick Stump and everything he chooses to be. I’ve seen him perform with and without the band, and loved every minute. Soul Punk is a great album that I listen to constantly. Why are people so cruel? I agree, not everyone is a fan of every kind of music, or even every album or song their favorite band sings….but have some respect, people. Kindness instead of ridiculous and unnecessary hate.
Thank you Patrick Stump. I’ve long said you are my favorite person (ask any of my friends, they’ll tell you the same). You are a crazy talented, musical dude I’ve had the honor of seeing perform live more than 20 times, and have met several times coming away loving you even more afterwards. If I could hug you through this monitor I would do it….and I can’t wait for the chance to see you perform live once again, however YOU choose to do so. ♥
In a simple experiment, researchers at the University of Chicago sought to find out whether a rat would release a fellow rat from an unpleasantly restrictive cage if it could. The answer was yes.
The free rat, occasionally hearing distress calls from its compatriot, learned to open the cage and did so with greater efficiency over time. It would release the other animal even if there wasn’t the payoff of a reunion with it. Astonishingly, if given access to a small hoard of chocolate chips, the free rat would usually save at least one treat for the captive — which is a lot to expect of a rat.
The researchers came to the unavoidable conclusion that what they were seeing was empathy — and apparently selfless behavior driven by that mental state.

Rats are powerful
I’ve seen the same thing done with monkeys, with the same results.
There was a story about a lizard pinned to the wall being fed and cared for by it’s buddy. Animals, generally more selfless than people.
Wow, I took these, right?! When you see them all lined up together they even more nrghdjkfjdklsjfdlk worthy.

I only have 13 followers on here. I’m sure this is partially to do with the fact that I rarely do anything here besides re-blog everyone else’s awesomeness.
At any rate, say hi to my lil punkins, Spencer Jay and Logan Cage! They want to wish you a HAPPY OCTOBER!
