Ho Hum

-
One of the highlights of my week is watching American Idol. Yes, if that makes me lame, so be it. But it is nonetheless true.

Watching the guys perform tonight was excruciating. A totally 'ho-hum' week. I didn't think anyone did well. And in fact, out of the remaining people, girls included, I don't think there are even 12 people remaining who actually 'deserve' to be in the final 12. We'll see what happens.

Hopefully tomorrow night will be better and that the girls will do well.

My list of songs that I would sing on American Idol is growing. Maybe I could become a personal life coach for American Idol contestants. That would be an interesting job.... ha ha

Did you know that AI airs on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays in South Asia... 12 hours after the live show in America? I have to stay away from the internet on elimination days if I want those who get cut to remain a secret....

All for now... Tomorrow is Clark's snack day and have to get up early to prepare that.

I must admit that I don't watch American Idol this year. There is no one worthy of the title. They are all mediocre and as you put "ho hum" singers.

On Compassion

-
The tension has really ratcheted up in the last couple of weeks.     It seems like people are on edge. Extra nervous.     Almost on the verge of panicking. Is it COVID? Is it the election? Is it the constant uncertainty that we’ve all been under for months and months and months… and months?     So many of us thought that SURELY by the holidays we would have returned to ANY KIND of normal – old normal, new normal, abnormal… something.     But no.     Here we are.     It’s in this unsettled state of existence that my heart has started hurting.  It’s started hurting so much for all the broken people out there.  Yes, there’s been a lot of breaking going on.  Broken hearts, broken lives, you name it, things are breaking.  And there is pain and suffering going on.  And people who are broken need to be seen and heard and understood.   I think what’s needed most right now is some g...

On Thanksgiving

-
I read an article this afternoon titled, “You have permission to not be thankful this Thanksgiving”.     The author’s point was that no one should have to force themselves to be grateful just because a date on the calendar prescribes that we should be thankful.     She even brought in to her argument the fact that “the original Thanksgiving” (think Pilgrims and Native Americans) was a horrible affair sans turkey or any feelings of thanks or of giving or of compassion and humanity.     True enough, I suppose. I would never argue that someone should be forced to be thankful.     I would never say that someone should be compelled to give thanks for things that they don’t have or for things which have been ripped from their grasp.     Forced joy is not joy.     I get that.   However, if I’m going to argue about anything, I would choose to argue passionately about one thing in this regard.  And here's the reason:   I ...

Thoughts on Election Day

-
                It’s election day here in America.     A day of red, white, and blue.     Many people have already cast their vote, but others are waiting in lines at polling places, eager to fulfill their civic duty. It’s a day that’s supposed to be a celebration of democracy.     It’s supposed to be a day when we exercise our right to choose leadership for our country that will represent us and help to guarantee that our voices are heard.     It is a day that women and people of color have fought for the right to participate in.     Fought for the right to be included.     It’s a day that’s supposed to bring us together in unity as a nation with hope for a future that will bring us the promises our forefathers, white, male and slave owners they may have been, founded this nation to bring to reality.                ...
