American Idol is down to 24. My prediction will be a Chikezie Eze and Syesha Mercado final. Josiah Leming (the guy living in his car) is gone - thought he was extremely suicidal when he was told so long. I did find it interesting that people were upset that their peers were told "no" by the judges. Think about this.... it's an audition and ONLY 12 girls and 12 boys get to move on. So hearing that someone else is a "no" means your odds just improved by 1 person! Unless it's for the opposite gender where it doesn't matter. I'd be sitting in the back smiling when the competition gets cut! The other thought I had... keep track (like counting cards) of the numbers so if there are three people left and only 1 spot, if you're the third to last person, you're cut. If there are 2 spots, you're in. Because there's always only 1 spot for the final 2 males/females left. So yeah, it's a foolproof way to figure out that person's fate. How many people understand this?:) yes - i'm a nerd.
Obama had another big week in the eastern primaries! He's catching the momentum again and hopefully it continues. I hate the over analyzation that is already occuring on the news networks. I've learned to look the day after for results (with at least 99% of the reports in) rather than track it live. The media is pretty funny with the whole thing. They present every option possible and over analyze the entire thing in order to claim that in hindsight, at some point in their rambling they'll be seen as correct. Kind of like the poor guesses from weatherpeople! Where's the 6 inches we were promised? More like 1.5 inches.... now I know how a lot of the women out there feel!
As much as I agree that Congress should have better things to do than interviewing baseball players - I do find the whole thing intriguing and somewhat addictive. I personally am not sure who to believe in the Clemens/McNamee argument. I'm just thankful that a lot of my baseball "heros" are not part of this mess (Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Andre Dawson... yeah, there's a Cub in there from my younger days). Most of the sports have this issue and we've created the culture where athletes have no reason not to try to cheat to get ahead - make more money that way! As for the congressional subcommittee.... I had a good laugh about the McNamee responses when he was called a "drug dealer" by Rep. Shays:
Rep. Christopher Shays calls McNamee a police officer who became a drug dealer. “Mr. McNamee, you are a drug dealer.” (McNamee used to work as a cop in New York.)”That’s your opinion,” McNamee says.
“You were dealing in them, yes?” Shays asks.
“Yes,” McNamee says.
“and they were illegal.” Shays continues.
“Yes.”
Sorry, can't find the video clip of this part yet... but Shay's is right on with his point.
Speaking of cheating and lying in sports. Here's an interesting article (long read) on how one psycho used the sympathy associated with kids with cancer to get his dream fulfilled..... As much as I hate this guy, not sure if he did anything illegal. Yzerman is still the bomb though!!
Haiku of the Day
Doing drugs is bad
Using them to cheat is worse
Stick to Captain/Cokes!!!
Entertainment of the Day - for the AI fans who watched the Hollywood round, hopefully you got as upset and cringed at the number of singers who sang "Everything I do, I do it for fame".... Bryan Adams and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Here's the video for those who want to see the originally crappy version. Good luck getting it out of your head!
Weblink of the Day - and speaking of my past girlfriends.... supposedly Britney is married again (per Mexican law) - good thing I'm over her and onto someone hotter and cooler! And a lot less PSYCHO!!!
