Auntie Em, Uncle Henry

I didn’t get an opportunity to blog yesterday. We had storms blow through the area and some got pretty severe. I thought it was best to leave my computer turned off. There was some pretty strong wind and lots of rain. My neighbor directly behind my house had a storage building lifted from it’s foundation at the far side of his backyard and it ended up beside the house a good distance away. I felt lucky that I had no damage but it did get a little scary there for a few minutes.

I was lucky enough to get my addiction to American Idol and Big Brother fed though. I was pleasantly surprised at the talent last night. Of course, there were some performances that were a bit over the top (well, not so much the performances as the flighty behavior from some of the contestants). I don’t have a problem with gay people so don’t get me wrong. But there was one last night whose flame was shining brighter than it needed to shine.

And what is the big stink with the stripper? Ok, sure…there should be better screening processes in place for the contestants on these shows. But it is a talent/singing competition after all, and if you have talent and can sing who cares what you do in your personal life? Let the guy sing…he’s got a great voice. If he wants to take of his clothes and show people his stuff when he is not performing publicly, so what! Geez.

Big Brother—geez I would love to go on that show. You would think after nine seasons of strategy and manipulation these people would know by now how to play the game. There is a lot of viciousness, lies, deceit and backstabbing on the show that gets criticized. Well hello—that is the type of show that you expect this behavior from or else you don’t make it to the end.

I hope that Ryan and Allison get evicted this week. Even though you have to lie and cheat to win the game, which Allison did without fail, you cannot get caught. Allison and Shiela would have been better off playing the part of the lesbians like they had originally started as a joke. They should never have come clean that they were not in a relationship. Joshuah has been a bit too hard on her though. But that is all part of the game.

There has been other stuff happen today but I will write about those things later.

Song of the day:

In The Air Tonight

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment, all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, Oh Lord, Oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show; but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord...
