American Grandma

Today my Mutie hung up on me to vote for David Cook on American Idol. She distractedly held a conversation with me for about five minutes at the end of which she muttered "1-866-idols-01" and quickly filed me away. I have taken a back seat to this impostor Cook. I hope he loses, so I can have my grandma back. Vote Archuleta.

You're the best.

El Gordo

I love the song "If You Could Read My Mind" by Gordon Lightfoot. I hear the last minute of it on the radio periodically and have never before made an attempt to find out who sings it. I'm not sure it relates to me. I'm not sure it has to. It's catchy. I'll stretch it to make it fit. Maybe I'll let you in on how it applies to me later. 

Other songs that I love too much to be ashamed of loving:

Melissa Manchester - Don't Cry Out Loud

Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy

Don McLean - Miss American Pie

The Stone Poneys - Different Drum

Vitamin C - The Graduation Song

Billy Joel - Movin' Out

Fallout Boy - Sugar, We're Going Down

Tim McGraw - Something Like That

Dixie Chicks - Travellin' Soldier

Elton John - Daniel

Elvis Presley - In The Ghetto

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Good Charlotte - The Motivation Proclamation

Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick

Joe Cocker - Up Where We Belong

Lil' Troy - Wanna Be A Balla

Limp Bizkit - My Way

Linda Rondstadt - Somewhere Out There

Linkin Park - One Step Closer

Nelly - Luvin' Me

Bone Thugz N' Harmony - Home (feat. Phil Collins)

P.O.D. - Youth Of The Nation

Pink - Just Like A Pill, Don't Let Me Get Me

R.E.M. - E-Bow The Letter

R. Kelly - The Worlds Greatest

Rob Thomas - Lonely No More

Ryan Shupe - Dream Big

The Sounds - Dance With Me

I guess that's it for now. I'd love to hear yours. I'd also love to hear that I'm not alone on some of these. But even if I am, I will sing these loud and proud.

You're the best.

Petition

Now hear this. I'm supposed to do something creative. For a class. I'm supposed to contrive up something the likes of which Brent Strong has never seen.

So, friends, send me your creative thoughts. It has to be something I can produce. Something I can make with my clumsy mitts. He prefers that it not be a paper. So do I frankly.

If you come up with something that I do, I will buy you five candy bars of your choosing. That's a promise.

Ayudame!

You're the best.

This Is The Funniest Blog Ever

Maybe you won't find it as funny as I did. But maybe your sense of humor sucks.

Get into it.

Jumpsweets

I don't often take credit, but I'm proud of this one.

The jumpsuits were fully my idea and they were an enormous success. So many people took so many pictures of us. It was the most boss party ever. Peep this.

They said my middle name was "eff". Isn't that something?

I'm truly sorry for gloating, but once in a while I need a little validation. This fit the bill. Now I'm done.

You're the best.

Camptown Races

I must go camping. Please come with me if you feel the same way.

V Is For Victory

K is for KOUTS.

Thank you for voting and making a difference in the life of this child. This is Alex in one of his first, and now gone-by, modeling jobs. He was a poster child for the Red Cross. Which his awesome mother was also the spearhead of. His modeling career, that is. Not the Red Cross.

Thank you again for voting. You will never know how funny my life is because you did so.

You're the best.
