Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

There once was a girl

Who had a little curl

Right in the middle of her forehead

And when she was good

She was very good indeed

And when she was bad she was horrid

My mother always used to say this little rhyme to tease me when I had been naughty because I have curly hair. I always thought it came from this kids poem book we had. Today online I looked it up and found out this is a Longfellow poem composed apparently by him to sing to his second daughter whom he had to, as his son put it “get up and down with” at night. Who knew…

ONCE AGAIN : ARE YOU KIDDING ME IDOL?

I can’t believe it… Kris Allen… the fact that he was shocked at the end… shows he didn’t think it would be him either. ( me either )  The fact that Adam’s smile seemed genuine compared to alot of other second placers shows that he is a a great person along with being a great artist. The finale was great even Rod Stewart who I was never a fan of sang like he did 20 years ago or was it 40. Sticking Adam with Queen an Kiss was cool to see and I heard he was happy as hell he got to do that but it does make me wonder where we’re going to see him, are bands like Kiss and Queen going to come back in style? ( don’t tell me they’re alrady out there cause I’ve heard that crap and they are fooling themselves if they think they even come close )  I mean they were great for thier time ( my time ) and some of thier songs still get alot of play in every generation because they are iconic but is that his plan? In an interview he said he had a few offers a few? He is so talented and he is a showman, so why a few? As for Kris Allen I won’t be buying his records if he puts any out zzzzzz. This is the second year in a row some one less deserving than the second place person won.I did like David Cook but come on he couldn’t sing any where near as well as David Archeletta and Kris Allen couldn’t touch Adams voice or range. So it isnt a signing competition any more I guess and I know I said I would never watch that show again if Kris Allen won …but…I think I will give it one more year. As for the rest of the show I loved Ryan’s reaction to bikini girl, and Kara showing her bakini for charity, and Steve Martin ok that was wierd, wierd song and Meagan confirmed why she wasn’t in the finale, but hey Martins comment was funny. The best part of the show was Adam and Kris signing with Queen I loved that and thier voices went together surprisingly well. Some other cast offs showed why they should have been there in the finale, Allison, Danny, Matt now he was good last night. And some of them showed us why it was right to toss them, Meagan ( yikes ) devastatingly beautiful for sure but once again YIKES and that cute little crazy mexican girl with the Russion accent tatiana, was that real? Anyway good luck on your money, Idol title and your new car Kris your gonna need it cause you ain’t no Underwood or Doughtry that was Adam not you. Next on to SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE, I love that show too … bring on the hot tamale train. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

A TAX ON SODA

Well aint that nice they can’t get those pot users to pay a tax so they’re going to tax my pop, nice I don’t smoke, don’t drink , don’t gamble but I do drink soda. I guess I’ll switch to pot no taxes on that. Who’s in charge of this place anyway??

SHOULD I CARE ABOUT DISPLACED PEOPLE IN PAKISTAN??

Should I care about displaced people in Pakistan or Afghanistan when my neighbor across the street just lost his house the one next to the one our other neighbors lost and had to move out of and is still standing empty 3 years later? I think helping the world is a wonderful thing but better left to my country to worry about and only second to the displaced Americans in our own country. Too many American people are homeless and too many American kids are going to bed hungry for me to really care about those other countries. I can pray for them but any help I give physically or financially will be to people and kids in this country.  SPEAK UP FOR KIDS… THEY HAVE LITTLE VOICES…Kathryn

I’M SO MAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just read this article by someone who is suppose to be a supporter of victims of sexual abuse (male victims). During his post about the Sandra Cantu case he said that people wasted time looking at the men in this case and went on to quote erroneous facts like women are only 7% percent as likely as a man to kill and rape a child but women are more likely to kill children WRONG!!!!!!!!!! Women accused of forcible rape make up 1% , 99% are men. women make up 6% of all sex crime convictions and usually as an accomplice to a man and usually there was a teenage victim not young children. Women are more likely to kill chldren… that is a crook of poo!!  Women are more likely to kill thier own children IF they kill they are not more likely than a MAN to kill a child!!! AND they are certainly not more likely than men to molest children. This kind of thing makes me furious. Men are the overwhelming perpetrators and preditors in this world. Say the police wasted thier time invetigating the men in that case? Well ya because MEN are the usual people that do that, claiming some kind of injustice was done to the men when it was a women was a stupid idiotic statement. AND if someone had kissed my 6 year old on the mouth I would point my finger at him first too! They oviously did a thourough investigation because they found who they believe is the killer. If you are going to put out facts about child abuse please try not to distort the facts to try and show the world has misjudged men because the facts speak for themselves. MEN are more likely to kidnap, rape and murder a child PERIOD!!!!!!!!!! I am a person who believes that child abusers should be dealt with in the most severe legal way we can and that a women that abuses or allows abuse by a man is the most horrible of abusers because they are mothers, there to protect thier children from harm. But come on at least take responsibilty for your sex’s behavoir and the overwhelming statistics concerning  that behavoir!!!

DREW PETERSON WHAT AN ASS EVEN IF HE IS INNOCENT

Drew Peterson is an ass with one wife mudered and one missing. When he is stopped at a traffic stop and arrested for wife # 3s murder, He turned around handcuffed, smiled and said “I guess I should have taken those books back” I don’t know about you but I probably would never make a joke about my wife being murdered or husband whom I was married to at the time it happened . Would you? His son stood by him later in court I don’t think I could stand by a man that made a joke while being arrested like that for my mothers death, and where is wife#4?? Too bad she ” ran off ” otherwise he might never have been arrested for #3. Wow he didn’t think that out very well did he?….    See ya…Kathryn

POPE B IS WEARING ROSE COLORED SUN GLASSES

Pope Benedict is oviously wearing his rose colored sun glasses on his trip to the middle east. He says first Peace IS possible. then says there should be a Palistine state AND Isreal deserves to exist. uhh Pope I think that is the reason they can’t work things out over there in the first place isn’t it? It’s just that no one on either side recognizes the other ones right to be there and want to be in the same spot. How do you think that can come to peace? Oh right the rose colored sun glasses…

HELL’S KITCHEN * SARASOTA STYLE

I feel bad for Paula since she was really strong all the way through Hell’s Kitchen and she’s a Florida girl just like me but Danny is a kid from my hometown Sarasota ( not the first on HK either) and even though his resturant theme was a little dumb and Paula’s was class I think he deserves to win because he is more assertive and his meals I think are more appealing to a wider group of diners.You couldn’t help but like them both they are so talented and I hope they both get what they want, I love HK and love to boo chef Ramsey. Can’t wait to see next season and Lacy you need therapy! See ya…Kathryn

ARE YOU KIDDING ME IDOL???????

Hey adults out there maybe you should try and vote instead of letting your 10 year old daughter’s do it maybe then we would have come down to the two best singers and not one great one and one that is not even good enough to sing in at the Holiday Inn lounge. If I were Danny or Allison I would think I had been robbed by children playing on the phone. In a year or two I bet we see Danny and Allison and Adam and a few other cast offs from this years show but not Kris I am so boring Allen. My grandson who is 15 can play piano, guitar and sing better than he can I think I will take him to audition for Idol next season I mean if Kris can make it to the finale he should be able to, then maybe he can support his old Gramma in style : )
