3 weeks til FOB!! I’m so excited! They keep playing at the Amphitheater when they come to Tampa, boo. So I’m heading to Orlando (04/22/09) to see them, yay :-) I’m in love with the new album, Folie A Deux, and I wish they would play more of the newer songs. As far as I can tell the set list will be:

Disloyal Order of Waterbuffalo

Thriller

A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me

American Boy (Estelle cover)

Sugar, We’re Going Down

This Ain’t a Scene, Its an Arms Race

I Don’t Care

Beat It (Michael Jackson)

Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet

I’m Like a Lawyer With the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off (You and Me)

(Coffees for Closers)

She’s My Winona

I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me

Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy?

America’s Suitehearts

Encore:

Thnks fr th Mmrs

I could do without the radio plays, but thats what most people will be there for. Of course they never play my FAVORITE songs. I’d *love* to hear: Calm Before the Storm OR Honorable Mention (I can be your John Cusack), Nobody puts Baby in the Corner, 7 Minutes in Heaven (Atavan Halen), XO, Hum Hallelujah, Fame < Infamy, anything from Take This to Your Grave, One and Only (Timbaland), w.a.m.s., and finally (and I’m devastated about this one) What a Catch, Donnie. I know What a Catch is a little slow for a live performance, but Patrick’s voice on this track is absolutely breathtaking, it just does something to me. This song really shows how they’ve grown and how their talent has evolved. I think it would be amazing to hear live. I’ll keep my fingers crossed, but try not to get my hopes up.

Deputies: Suspect fell asleep after raping woman

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY (Bay News 9) — Hillsborough County deputies arrested a man on charges of rape after they found him asleep in his victim’s bed.

Deputies said that Luis Ayala, 32, forced his way into a woman’s home on Monday evening, punched her and then repeatedly sexually assaulted her, after which he went to sleep in her bed. According to reports, the victim took the opportunity to run to a neighbor’s home, where she called 911.

Ayala was arrested and charged with sexual battery, burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault and false imprisonment. No bond has been set.

haha, this is so funny, i had to post it… unfortunately though, it is just a joke

In a decision that’s expected to send shockwaves through the African-American community—and yet, give much relief to teachers everywhere—a federal judge ruled today that black women no longer have independent naming rights for their children. Too many black children—and many adults—bear names that border on not even being words, he said.

“I am simply tired of these ridiculous names black women are giving their children,” said U.S. Federal Judge Ryan Cabrera before rendering his decision. “Someone had to put a stop to it.”

The rule applies to all black women, but Cabrera singled out impoverished mothers.

“They are the worst perpetrators,” he said. “They put in apostrophes where none are needed. They think a ‘Q’ is a must. There was a time when Shaniqua and Tawanda were names you dreaded. Now, if you’re a black girl, you hope you get a name as sensible as one of those.”

Few stepped forward to defend black women—and black women themselves seemed relieved.

“It’s so hard to keep coming up with something unique,” said Uneeqqi Jenkins, 22, an African-American mother of seven who survives on public assistance. Her children are named Daryl, Q’Antity, Uhlleejsha, Cray-Ig, Fellisittee, Tay’Sh’awn and Day’Shawndra.

Beginning in one week, at least three white people must agree with the name before a black mother can name her child.

“Hopefully we can see a lot more black children with sensible names like Jake and Connor,” Cabrera said.

His ruling stemmed from a lawsuit brought by a 13-year-old girl whose mother created her name using Incan hieroglyphics.

“She said it would make me stand out,” said the girl, whose name can’t be reproduced by The Peoples News’ technology. “But it’s really just stupid.”

The National Association of Elementary School Teachers celebrated Cabrera’s decision.

“Oh my God, the first day of school you’d be standing there sweating, looking at the list of names wondering ‘How do I pronounce Q’J’Q’Sha.’?” said Joyce Harmon, NAEST spokeswoman. “Is this even English?”

The practice of giving black children outlandish names began in the 1960s, when blacks were getting in touch with their African roots, said historian Corlione Vest. But even he admits it got out of hand.

“I have a niece who’s six. I’m embarrassed to say I can’t even pronounce her name,” said Vest, a professor at Princeton University. “Whenever I want to talk to her, I just wait until she looks at me and then I wave her over.”

Cabrera’s ruling exempted black men because so few of them are actually involved in their children’s lives.

anyone who has seen them already knows that panic puts on an amazing show, and this was no exception. they looked and sounded awesome. the only thing missing was the theatrics, but it could have been a venue thing, so i am giving them the benefit of the doubt. my only complaint is that it was over so quickly. i had never been to a show at ruth eckerd hall, but i would definitely love to go back. the acoustics were incredible, and the auditorium is intimate, leaving no bad seat in the house. the set list flowed pretty well, which surprised me, given how different the two albums sound. the only songs which sounded out of place were behind the sea and northern downpour. well, here is the set list, pics as soon as i get them:

1. We’re So Starving
2. Nine In the Afternoon
3. But It’s Better If You do
4. Camisado
5. She’s A Handsome woman
6. The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage
7. Behind The Sea
8. Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have without Taking Her Clothes Off
9. I Constantly Thank God For Esteban
10. That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)
11. There’s A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought Of It Yet
12. Folkin’ Around
13. I Write Sins Not Tragedies
14. Northern Downpour
————————————
15. Time To Dance
16. Pas De Cheval
17. Mad As Rabbits
