Mental Purgatory

I recently had the opportunity to go to a Fall Out Boy concert with opening acts All Time Low, Hey Monday, Cobra Starship and Metro Station. As a visitor to this blog, you probably know that this is not my kind of music at all. However, I was taking my sister and so, I figured [...]
