Description? It's a blog... duh. Weblog... Online Journal. Okay, so it's my thoughts and experiences about things that matter to me: homeschooling, family, horses, pit bulls, laws, racism, justice, patriotism, humor, movies, music, books... who knows what all.

January 17
Labels: American Idol 2008, Cheyenne
I was posting about AI on my American Idol SparkTeam and decided I would also post my thoughts here on my old abandoned blog. I haven't decided if I will put it on my regular blog or not. My knitting friends prolly don't give a rat's tail what I think about AI. So, anyway... here are my thoughts so far on the audition shows for January 16th and 17th.

Exactly 110 years ago, 8-year-old Virginia Hanlon wrote to the (old)New York Sun to settle a question about whether Santa Claus exists.Many of her friends told Virginia that the answer to that question is,"no."Times have changed and newspapers, such as that version of the Sun,have come and gone. But the answer, published in 1897 by Sun editorialwriter Francis P. Church, is timeless:
I'll make this brief. 5 stars. Watch it. Own it. Everyone who lives in this country should watch this movie. It will make you angry, it will make you cry but ultimately, it will give you hope. Thank God in Heaven for the Mrs. Gruwells in the world.

I am a huge American Idol fan. I have two kids who are performers - really good ones. I love the fact that this show has given so many young people the opportunity that they may have never had to achieve their dreams. The whole controversy this year over a certain young man and a website/movement to vote for the least worthy really has me pissed off. If you hate American Idol, vote with your remote not your phone. Don't take it out on the dreamers on the show or the fans.
