[HoneyBee06]

It gives me chills each time. And makes me want to find out when he's going to I can stare at him close up.

Man...this kid is making some crazy money! Guitar Hero commercials....WDW commercials....yeah.....

Are you talking about the quality of the recordings that people put up on youtube? because that's as good as it gets since he just pretty much recorded it on the cheap, on his own.

Yes, I figured the audio quality of the original wouldn't be the best. But the songs I've heard I liked.

I'm looking through all the red carpet photos on the idol site. I don't know who most of the people are.

Like these people...for example...

He looks dorky and she looks psychotic.

He looks dorky and she looks psychotic.

They look like deranged celebrity impersonators for George Michael and Mariska Hargitay.

I think Fox4 might be from Kansas City. They were covering KC'ers at the try-outs.

Also, I think that might be from the preliminary auditions in front of the low level producers last August. DC didn't try out in front of the judges until October - around Halloween if I recall correctly from the DC book of knowledge imbedded in my brain. I'm wondering what important knowledge is now gone out of my head thanks to all of the new DC trivia in it.

Probably so. Our local FOX station FOX 8 has gone to Atlanta or wherever near when they've done the auditions. And have asked if any locals were trying out so they could give a "shout-out" for them.

Yikes, my mom just called sobbing. My cousin, her husband and their baby were just in a terrible wreck in Fla. The baby is in the ER. Say some prayers if you can!

WOW...I am sorry to here about that...I hope everyone turns out ok...Yall will be in my thoughts and prayers.....

 

[TruBlu]

OK, I'm back. The kids went to sleep fast. I guess they were tired.

Anyway.... about my cousin's wreck.....
She and her DH and baby (DD) were going on vacation. They were driving in Alabama when the tire blew on their truck. My cousin was NOT wearing a seat belt confused3 said she had just taken it off to take a nap?!?!?!? ). The truck flipped, and she was thrown out. A witness said she flipped in the air a few times, hit hard, and the truck landed right beside her. When he got to her she could talk but not move. She started screaming for her baby. He found her in the truck, legs sticking out the window, still in the baby seat, covered in blood. It ended up being the dad's blood, but they didn't know that at the time. Anyway, the dad was taken to the Alabama hospital, and my cousin and the baby were air-lifted to a hospital in Florida. It happened sometime yesterday, but she wasn't able to call until today.

Her DH has lots of facial stitches, but I otherwise OK. The WONDERFUL nurses in the hospital where they took him were amazing. When he was released today they drove him to the other hospital in Florida!!!!!

My cousin and the baby were released late today. They are all fine! They are in a hotel waiting for my aunt to drive down and bring them home.

How very scary! There is no reason to not wear a seat belt. She is very lucky to be alive. I'm glad no one was seriously injured.

My wife has officially lost it. She's so smitten with David she thinks I look like him. I don't think she remembers what I look like. What do I do? Help!

Just grab a guitar, don't shave, and reap the benefits!
