40.

why does my computer ruin the quality of everything? anyway. yesterday was a monumental day. i saw it coming since this summer but it fact that it's official gives me butterflies. blink 182 is back together. recording a new album. touring this summer. omg. i'm smiling so big. anyway. so this summer, mark posted something on his blog that gave me hope. it gave everyone hope. here is a part of it: "in the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they've all been great, very positive conversations. we're just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it's a good thing. obviously the first question for a lot of people will be 'does this mean a blink-182 reunion?' the answer is none of us know. we haven't talked about it at all. right now it's just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. the events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. life is too short." i read this over and over again and couldn't have been more happy. just look where they are now. about 4 days ago, there was an angels and airwaves chatroom in which a member of AAA told fans that tom was going back to blink 182, and that they were coming out with a new album. i couldn't believe it. no one could. all these events lead up to yesterday night. they appeared on stage together for the first time in 4 years for the grammy's. and for the greatest reason i could ever think of. they annouced that they were back. blink one eighty fucking two. they updated their website and got new merch. they also said this: "Hi. We're blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, We're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy. Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready..." i seriously cannot wait. this is what i have been waiting for. for 4 years. let a new legacy begin.
