    I regret dating you, namely because the sheer cost of paying for your meals set me back at least an eighth of my bimonthly paycheck. I don’t understand how you can be so thin and yet still manage to devour everything in your path. Provided it’s organic, of course. How I sincerely regret paying for your six dollar jamba juice smoothies. It’s called Frulatti, bitch, and it’s only three bucks for a decent drink.

    It kills me to lose this one. More than I expected. To try so hard to get out what you want to say, and feeling deep in your heart that you guys would recognize the love I feel for your music. Endless times I have listened to your music and loved every word, every beat, every cord. It began as just getting my feelings out on here and snowballed into so much hope and expectations. Waiting endlessly, checking this website hundreds of times in just a few long long days. I just wish you would have told everyone who you chose right away for it made losing just that more agonizing. I realize only one could win, but I am, selfishly, heart broken….

    Listening to your music, I simultaneously want to start doing and quit trying. It’s complicated, but being suspended here, between these two feelings, is entirely comfortable. Listening to your music is like being home or slipping on a broken-in pair of shoes. I wish I felt this way about anything else, but I’m happy just to listen for now.

    last year I went on a canoe trip with 9 of my friends. we portaged la riviere noire in quebec for 5 days. we went through rapids, and pretty heavy terrain and for most of us, including myself, it was our first time ever canoeing, let alone going through rapids. i did pretty well i must say, there were just several little snags along the way. some of them were embarassing and some were just funny. before i left i noticed i had a pimple on my penis that i started to stress over, luckily within 3 days it had popped. my wisdom teeth were coming in and they started to get really infected in the middle of the trip. i didn’t have anything to disinfect them with, except some whiskey, so i gargled that every couple of hours. one night by the fire i got some bug bite on my upper lip that ballooned to the size of a small cherry tomato, at first i was worried because i was thinking it could have been a spider bite or something worse. luckily in the morning it was gone. i cut my foot on a can that was hidden in the sand. that was easily fixed with some bandages, but being a first timer, i wasn’t very prepared and didn’t bring proper shoes so it was kind of annoying to always change bandages while canoeing. finally the most troubling thing happened on the last day of the trip. for most of the 5 days i was pretty blocked up with shit, and hadn’t had a satisfying bowel movement. when we were about 8 hours from the end of the river i was taking a shit in the forest and i was pushing hard but nothing was coming out..of my ass. something was coming out of my penis. it was semen. i immediately told my friends about it and needless to say, they were pretty shocked and just started laughing. my friends bring it up every once and awhile and it’s not so embarassing anymore, just weird.

    No one cares enough about anything nowadays and it makes me sick. Everybody is too scared that if they think for themselves and SAY IT they will be looked upon strangely.

    There had been one moment where she believed he had perhaps looked her way. A distracted half conscious, swaying, lazy look, caught in the familiar whirlwind that is music, band, and audience, the ambience and setting of an unmatched moment of time, that perhaps his eyes met hers in. This moment was presumably lost on them both, for neither being fully aware if it had truly happened continued on in much the same manner as before, so like a tide, rolling over them all, as so many affiliated moments are also lost to memory. Her state was something of an antithesis for she seemed to be made up of nothing at all and yet filled up, deep below her now abounding surface, swollen like a sweet berry, sumptuous and lush in sight and taste. She was unsure of the exact moment where her heart seemed to pop out of her chest and float away. She did not know when its airy beats gave up on blood and began to pump the sweat above their heads, the perspiration and the words that stirred the current in the pool upon the roof. Nor could she guess what became of her anatomy, find the start or end of her capillaries, the ghosts of her missing arteries, but when the last note hit as he stroked the very last string, these things were all quite certain. She felt only calm and wonder, full of patience and vehemence, it was assured that she was in love, and that love felt beautiful, there was no room in her for greed or voracity or avarice. She knew that she would speak to them, and having neither qualms nor uneasiness nor doubt she was the very portrait of complacency. She felt only that extreme happiness one feels when only the most favourable of circumstance is assured, humbled to a point of exultation at the wonder of love. She had semi-formulated intentions, ideas grounded entirely on feeling, as if she knew for certain the veracious path to self ebullience. She knew nothing of them but that they had, despite their intentions, most assuredly started a flame inside her heart.

    A band consisting of a gangly curly haired yodelling man, a bass playin cord snapping animal, a short cut drummer with a broken cymbal and a knack for playin in his socks, and a quiet pasty skinned man with a REALLY sweet hat, has stolen my musical devotion and won’t let go of it! 4 months and 4 days have passed since a friend of mine posted a message on facebook. “Born Ruffians are coming to Seattle! Just did a Victory Dance!!” Little did I know that soon after I would be slowly, and willingly, sucked into this moderately known Canadian band’s way of music. The first sound to hit my ears was the uproaring Hummingbird intro, so much energy flew out of the intro you couldn’t help but dance! The rest of the red yellow and blue album took time for me, barnacle goose was next on my #1 then came foxes mate for life, even the songs I disliked became lodged into my brain at work, there was no way to not keel over and love the music. Badonkadonkey, red elephant (which I’m 99% sure is talking about lukes lower member) they all made sense to me. All of my former tastes in music dissolved away. Just when I couldn’t mentally handle another amazing song that nobody in my county has even heard of…. you release say it. Once again, I wasn’t satisfied at first, then day by day it spread like a sick disease on a mission to make me like it. Do you know what happened next Mitch? Luke? Steve? Andy? MY HEAD IMPLODED.. no, actually it ended up with a group of my friends and I turning cheap walmart T shirts into kickass Red Yellow & Blue shirts and marching to Seattle to meet you all. Before I knew it I was stalking luke into the bathroom to talk to him(HOW COULD NOBODY ELSE NOT NOTICE THE TALL GANGLY GUY WALKING BY!), man was that awesomely awkward, then Mr. Derosier turns into a momma and takes a bunch of pictures of our shirts(Fame bitches). Between all of that, the great show, and Mitch She-saiding me in the audience, and shaking my hand not one, not two, but six times, it was the best night I’ve ever had. The past four months have been a very strange time in my life filled with yelling OH MAN out the window of my truck, bonding with a very special girl because of your music, and far too many fun moments that would have never been possible without you guys. So to finish this, what I have to say is. CANADA AIN’T SO BAD EH! ~ Derek

    It has been a month and a half since I saw you guys at the echo. I’m still blasting the hell out of the new album. In fact, I just learned “Higher and Higher” and “At Home Now” to finish off me knowing the album on guitar. This music has really inspired me to BE incredibly me. Whether it was singing Nova Leigh to all my friends or writing a fictional short story about how Luke took care of a bunch of animals on a preserve named “Blood, the Sun & Water” and joined Kurt Vonnegut’s club where he met Mitch, Steve & Andy. It just makes me feel really good inside that you guys were able to let me say it, whatever it was at the time. Maybe soon the beat up acoustic I found in a dumpster will have a friend. Oh, his name is Van-Gogh. He really likes playing Nova Leigh too. -Floydisco

    I tried to sing the (aphrodisiacal) intro to 7th Son in the shower last night. now there’s a painful lump in my throat. it hurts to swallow. it hurts to sing. And someone close to me has accused me of making love with a banshee. never again.

    Ruffian Mitch SAYS: 

    Same thing happened to Luke. But his lump came more from the love making banshee than the singing. I think.

    Sometimes it seems like no matter how important my message is or how loud I scream, I’m never heard. I want to “say it”. I want to “say it” really badly. But after being ignored time after time, I eventually just stop. Born Ruffians, you guys have taught me so much. You said that we need to “make a point of having fun”. Stop moping around, and just live. Look at what you have accomplished, and stop dwelling on what you haven’t. That’s all I have to say about that. So now I’m going to move to a completely different point. I love you guys. Like a lot. Like a lot a lot. So, Luke…Will you go to homecoming with me? I’m not going to quit asking until you say yes. That’s all for now.

    To Steve: I had a dream the other night that both me and my best friend won a contest to hang out with the BR for like a week, but when we got there it was just you ’cause Luke and Mitch were off hangin’ with their ladies. But we were still totally pumped about just hanging out with you, because you’re awesome. Then as soon as we get there, my friend is all up on your dick. Seriously, the whole time leaving me to be super awkward and quiet. (Which I sort of am most of the time, but this just made it ten times worse.) Then mid-week we went to dinner with Luke and his girl, and it was much less awkward because I had someone that I could actually talk to. It was an awesome dream, except for the fact that Mitch wasn’t in it :(. P.s. I’ve been in love with you guys for over a year, and I’m finally going to see a live show in Orlando, October tenth. I bought my ticket literally five seconds after I found out.

    i wish i could say that i’ve had orgasms or sex dreams about you or your music. but my dreams and feelings for you are a lot more innocent. strong nonetheless. anyone and everyone can (and does) say how much they listen to you and how you’re their favorite band. all i can do is try to assist in your comprehension of my appreciation for your music. the best times of my life are soundtracked by your songs. my devotion is sincere i promise. shit im just a fangirl, tierney.

    We first saw y’all at a show in Dallas opening for Franz Ferdinand and it was incredible to see the band live. We enjoyed it so much that we made a trip up to Toronto for CMW to see the band again and it was another great show. Crazy to see you in CA at a venue the band had not played at until that night. Despite the fact that I am from Dallas, I must say that there is some great Canadian music in the world and Born Ruffians are a part of that great music. We like the band so much that my wife is going to get a Born Ruffian inspired tattoo. If you are ever in Dallas again, we will be there.

    I went to your show at the echo and it was the most incredible experience ever. After the show i really wanted to say hi to Luke. I never did. I was too nervous, but i am saying it now! “Luke, you are my savior. Your guys’ album is so good. I really hope you guys come back to LA. Well, your amazing and thanks for the greatest show ever. I wouldn’t have anything to listen to without you.” Yep, thats what i wanted to say. I know you probably get this a lot. The same thing everyone says but i really mean it with all my heart. Thanks for everything.

    Last night, I was at a Tokyo Police Club/Passion Pit concert. And I ended up needing a breather so I stood outside by the merch guy, I was like, “So, do you know the born ruffians?” and he was like, “uh, duh!” and I was like, “Oh my goodness! They’re my favorite! I write them all the time on myspace and they never write back. I wonder if they have a street team, I’ll make them one, etc.” this went on for several minutes until finally he stops me and says, “you’re one of those…creepy friends aren’t you. o.O” lol. I was embarrassed. But I don’t care! I love you!! I’m spreading the good word. (: And that’s what I have to say at the moment.

    I don’t know if Luke ever reads these, but I just want to say that I went to the show in LA and while I was waiting in line, I was thinking of things I could say to him, if I actually got to meet him. After the show, though, when I really did meet him, I forgot every one of those things. So I guess I’ll try to say them now. So, Luke: Driving in the car for 3 hours all crammed in the backseat to go and see the Born Ruffians was the best thing I think I’ve done in my whole life. I have never had more fun or felt happier than I did on June 3rd. It was the most awesome, free-of -everything kind of feeling I’ve had in my whole life. Just so you know. I love you, Luke. I love you, Born Ruffians. And thanks for everything.

    Nowadays there’s always too much going on. There’s the internet, there’s your social status, your appearance, the media, and all that shit. But when it all boils down, the only thing that matters is your view on life. Some people don’t care about life. They live it, do some stuff, and then die. Some people care about every second of their live, and that it must be absolutely perfect. My name is Tessa, and I suffer from Atelophobia, the fear of imperfection. I must have my assignments in before the due date, I need my room to be absolutely clean every day. The kitchen sink must never have any dirty dishes in it, and the pillows on my sofa have to be fluffed to perfection. But that’s just who I am. It was keeping me from being relaxed and calm. It was keeping me from just relaxing a whole Sunday, instead I’d be cleaning dishes or doing homework that was due the next week. I was like this until I was 13. When I was introduced to indie music. It was actually the best day of my life by far. Since that day, I have piled my iTunes library with 5,340 songs of pure happiness. I started listening to music 24/7. On the bus, in the car, at home, doing homework, road trips. Every single day. I started getting obsessed with Born Ruffians. When I turned 15, I listened to Foxes Mate for Life in the morning as my alarm clock and at night while going to sleep. All of a sudden, I started sleeping in until 11, and do nothing but watch old scary movies on Sundays. My life was changing, because of music. Who thought that just a couple of beats and melodies could make a person like me, a better Tessa. My family and friends have all noticed a difference in me, a good difference. And I can’t thank anyone else besides you guys. Born Ruffians is my go-to music for driving. I feel infinite & happy & free & rebellious & accomplished & amazed. You four know what you are doing, you know how you want people to feel. And I absolutely can not wait to see you guys in two weeks at the Bell House. Honestly, thank you so much.

    I need to slow down. This entire year I’ve been moving at light speed from one thing to the next — class to class to class to swimming to home where I can’t relax to bed where I can’t sleep and I need to just stop. Stop worrying. Stop fidgeting. Stop rushing. I need to get in the car and open the windows and play music so loud that I can’t hear it. I need to roll down a hill and not care if I mess up my makeup or if my hair has grass in it.

    Some general tips for saying “it”: 1. Do have something nearby that can be utilized for defense 2. Do not be dressed as an inanimate object, more specifically a fruit I wish I were a fox. What happens to widowed foxes? What if there is an odd number of foxes? I could tell you a thousand stories, but you’d have heard them all before. The first time I listened to you, I was waiting, and I feel like I’m still waiting, but you make that not a big deal. It’s important to remember that the amount said is not usually proportional to the number of words. See? What have I said? But you know right after you say it? Where the words take some of you with them? And they’re so goddamn big so you can’t swallow them so you just close you’re eyes and hope they’ll swallow you instead?
