“Taylor Swift is the only woman in music history to release three #1 albums in a row, each selling more than five million copies, a milestone achieved only by the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and Michael Jackson. She’s written every song on all of her albums and has world-wide record sales of more than 22 million albums and 50 million song downloads. She’s won six Grammy Awards and is the youngest winner in the history of the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.”
See this guy right here? Do you know his name? His name is Jack Bassam Barakat, the guitarist of All Time Low. He is absolutely one of the greatest things to ever walk this earth.
He’s cute, attractive, funny, perverted, loving, caring. He’s the most energetic person I’ve ever seen in my life. Every day All Time Low go and play a show, do you ever see Jack looking sad, upset, depressed, lonely? No, never. He’s always as happy as possible. Even if he’s not happy, he still acts it so his fans have nothing to worry about. He’s always smiling and living his life to the fullest. On stage, he’s jumping around everywhere, giving Alex hell, talking to the crowd. When he plays guitar on stage, or at least tries to, he’s bouncing around everywhere, it’s like he has an endless supply of energy. He’s crazy and hilarious off stage as well. He makes the funniest jokes and says the funniest things. I could be here for hours quoting him. He’s just absolutely funny. “Jack likes thrust.” “I just want to fuck this burrito!” “Indianaaaaa fucking Jones. Indiannaaaaaa! Mother fuckin’ Jones!” “Colussy! I need ice in my drink before I play!” “We were like peanut butter & jelly, speghetti & meatballs, marshmallow fluff & my tongue.” You get the point. He’s just amazing. But, with all dick jokes and crazy moments aside, he’s also an inspirational person. When he needs to be serious, he can be completely serious. And he’s caring. He cares for every single one of his fans. If he didn’t, why would he be outside after almost every single show signing and taking pictures and talking to his fans? Why would he even be in a band if he didn’t care about his fans? Along with his funny quotes, he has some quotes with moral and meaning. “Beauty isn’t judged by the size of your jeans.” But read this.
Most people would be stoked to be this close to 21… but to be honest I am pretty bummed. I’ve been a teenager for 7 years and I have grown pretty fond of it. I feel like you can get away with so much more when you’re a teen. I know deep inside that being older won’t make me any more mature… because I will always be an immature little kid in the inside. I am not sure whether its from watching peter pan too many times, watching too many cartoons or listening to Blink-182 consecutively. What I do know is, I never plan on growing up inside. I may act mature in public (sometimes) and pull many serious faces when in a meeting, but the scene in Billy Madson when Chris Farley takes his shirt off will be running through my head the entire time. Even though I have a fun, but serious job, playing music on the road…The first thing I do when I get home is jump on my Blue Diamondback BMX and ride around my neighborhood with my neighbors. Because I believe no matter how old you are, nothing/nobody can take your childhood away from you. But don’t get me wrong… when situations call for it, I will be mature and smart in my decisions. I would never let my puerile behavior affect my friends and loved ones in a negative way. And Who knows…maybe 10 years from now I’ll be sitting in a cubicle working an important desk job reading this going “Wow, I used to be a really fun and happy go lucky guy, I wonder what happened?” But chances are, I wouldn’t be hired for an important desk job with only a high school diploma Haha.
You can’t say that Jack is an asshole after reading that. He’s an absolutely wonderful person, and his looks are just a bonus. He’s perfect. He’s absolutely funny and he doesn’t give a fuck, but he’s serious when he has to be. He’s just overall amazing.
