Patrick Stump talks about "haters" and a hiatus from performing

Patrick Stump, best known from his time in Fall Out Boy but also known for his recent solo album, Soul Punk, has posted a lengthy blog post talking about "being a 27-year old has-been." Mostly he talks about his reluctance to perform publicly anytime in the near future. He notes:

I had always been prepared for "Haters," because there's never been a moment since I graduated high school where I haven't been the guy in "That Emo band." First said emo band was dismissed as third rate pop-punk played by hardcore kids...a pale imitation of Saves the Day. It's as though I've received some big cosmic sign that says I should disappear. So I've kind of disappeared. I've managed to cobble together some work...I've been moonlighting as a professional songwriter/producer for hire and I've even been doing a bit of acting here and there. I have no interest (and evidently that sentiment is reciprocated) in performing music publicly any time soon but as I've said I'm sure that will happen when it happens.
