[icecreamhdaches]

As far as promotional gambits go for new albums, there haven’t been too many more inspired campaigns in recent years than the a cappella medley videos that Patrick Stump has been producing concurrently with the release of his solo debut Soul Punk. They showcase just about everything about Stump that makes him an appealing musician and personality-

I was hoping that "toast to the douchebags" song would silently go away. Love Kanye. Hate that song. Thanks Patrick for making me remember it existed. All else...good. I liked almost every other song besides that one. The background vocals weren't too much this time. :)

My son just said, "With the tuxedo and his arms down like that, when be jumps up and down, he looks like a penguin." o_____o Kids have no respect.

...Why does looking like a penguin need to be a bad thing?? :(

(I have an irrational obsession with them, don't mind me.)

[rockee23]

Haha. I doubt he meant it meanly. He loves that club penguin site and has a bunch of stuffed penguins in his room. And considering the fact that he was laughing, I'm going to guess he thought Alex was cute. Haha

[rockee23]

I mean "thought PATRICK was cute". Alex is my son's name. I'm losing it.

[headinaflurry]

I figured you meant Patrick, so I connected that Alex might be your son's name. I got the gist of what you were saying, haha.

Funny, true story.... Patrick was always my favorite boy name since I was a little girl. idk y. I almost named Alex Patrick but my father talked me out of it saying they'd call him Patty Boy. Or Patty Melt. haha. I like icks and acks. So Alex worked. My other son is Nick. He was almost going to be Jack till my dad said they'd call him Jack off. hahahaha

hahahahaha!! but isn't it more embarrassing to say "Patty Boy" than to be called it?

I was called "Rita Pita ate a Cheetah" (yes, in that order haha). or "Dingaling" because people couldn't pronounce Dilig. :/

I was called Sassy because of my last name obviously. There were only two nicknames I hated. Chrissy was one. I would seriously threaten someone's life if they called me that. And my brothers called me Teeny Steeny. I wanted to kill them.

I won't call you it, but the name your brothers used is the best. I sometimes call my sister "Veggie Reggie" (her name is Regina), and she rolls her eyes at me. haha the perks of being firstborn!
