Top 4 show… David Cook didn’t sound so good in his first song – actually he sounded kind of flat. Babba O’Riley was ok, not great. You need to bang that song out, he didn’t, he shouted it. Don’t agree with Simon on Syesha’s performance of Proud Mary, I thought it was pretty good. Not […]

One day a scorpion arrived at the bank of a river he wanted to cross, but there was no bridge. He asked a frog that was sitting nearby if he would take him across the river on his back. The frog refused and said, “I will not, because you will sting me.” The scorpion replied, […]

I have a friend who is a bit insane. I say that because she runs many many miles just for fun. She isn’t trying to chase down a cat that got out the door or chase down a nice ice cream cone or something, she just runs to run and to help other people. She […]

Dean said I am a hermit and couldn’t believe I didn’t know who won when he saw my last post. I truly do not know who won, please do not share that info with me. My head has seriously been very much down in the dirt the last 6-12 months with the CO stuff and […]

So some of you noticed a while back that I wasn’t chatting up American Idol at all which I occasionally do. I am a music kind of guy and that is a show I find interesting at times. Well the thing is, with the stuff that happened the last year I didn’t actually watch it, […]
