Ladies and Gentleman, we made it through another results night show. Hopefully the changes that they propose making next year will be to make the results night episode back to the 30 minutes. I can handle (sometimes) a group number, a song by the mentor and then the inevitable boot. Tonight I decided to fast [...]

Phil Stacey – Phil Stacey (Release date: 4/29/08 ) Here comes another Idol alum! Phil Stacey was on last season’s American Idol and did fairly well. Only towards the end of his run did American discover Phil’s knack for country tunes which had been his lifetime in the making. Randy Jackson pointed out that “this is [...]

Gavin Degraw – Gavin Degraw (release date 5/6/08 ) Well, it has only been 5 years since his first studio release “Chariot” and frankly, I believe that is too long to wait! But saying that, I am glad that it is time for a new Gavin Degraw album. You would think that making an album [...]

Tonight is Neil Diamond night. I am not a huge fan of Neil Diamond, but I am comforted by the fact that I don’t have to listen to Neil Diamond sing the ten songs. So I am going into this night with an open mind besides the fact that I am worried about David Archuleta’s [...]
Two Times I Love
Posted: 29th April 2008 by Matt in RandomTags: 2:17, 3:04, clock, Random, random time
There are two times that I love seeing when I look at the clock, and they seem to be more frequent than any other time. First and most obvious is 2:17, which is better known as my birthday and ultimate lucky number. Second and more immature is 3:04. Some of you may know what is [...]
Discovering Laura Izibor

So, I just watched another cheesy, feel good, entertaining movie. Prepare yourself for some laughter, but the movie was STEP UP 2: The STREETS. Yes, I watched it. SO. WHAT? HA. Anyway, it is usually in these movies where the main character has had a blow to their ego where they sit and reflect and [...]

So as part of my recovery, I spent yesterday ripping all my old school cd singles to mp3s so that I could toss the actual discs. Two point something gigabytes and three hours later I was done and thoroughly enjoying my random playlist of CD singles from 1995-2000. I find it funny when you haven’t [...]
Wisdom Tooth Update

So as we read last week, I was dreading the Oral Surgeon, not because of the actual “surgery” but mainly because of the gauze. GAG! I got to the office a few minutes early (mainly because I am very, very punctual) so that I could prepare myself for this surprisingly simple extraction. I get in [...]
BB9 is OVER!

This was an odd season for me. At the beginning, I hated everyone in the house. I thought to myself, “how did CBS manage to get so many sluts and jerks in the house at once?” Then as the true idiots got kicked out of the house, I started liking the “game” a little bit [...]
