ARG!

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED IT!! Mandisa was kicked off American Idol tonight! HOW DARE THEY! I would have never guessed she was even in the bottom 3. I thought for sure it would have been Paris or Elliot, shows how much I know. I've come up with a conspiracy theory, it goes like this: America sucks at voting in general. They don't know how to vote. We can't elect a decent president, and get confused when filling out a simple electronic voting system, how do they expect us to be intelligent enough to vote for the best singer in America over the phone? Kevin and I think that the producers are secretly prepping Chris to become American Idol. They always give him the best camera angles, he almost always performs in the last three which means people will remember how much they loved his performance more, he gets the cool lighting with the strobes and colors and he almost always has had his own showcase, which means he is the only performer between comercial breaks, kind of like singling him out.

Anyway. I didn't work today. It was a nice day off. Hung out with Karissa and Isabella, went to Walmart for Easter basket shopping for the Godkids, and got my car cleaned out. I'm making it an official non smoking vehicle. After supper, we met Blake, Karissa, Doug and Bell Bell and took a nice walk to the river. This is the first day they have enforced the whole "no walking on the dyke" law. Police were kicking people off the bridge and dykes because I guess everyone heads over there and it gets to be quite the crowd. Having only one bridge open really really sucks. Traffic is nasty, hopefully the river will crest tonight and the water will go down, the cleaning crews will come out and the other two bridges will be open again soon.

4 days of being smoke free. no cheating. I'm excited. I got sunflower seeds to keep my mouth occupied.
