soooo..... there won't be any further rounds of auditioning to cover... America really has no idea what it is missing out on. This experience is the closest to Hollywood I have ever been.

It seems like forever since I have written a blog post. This makes me a little upset with myself, but I will not allow it to ruin the night. I just really don't know where to begin. I think I might jump all over the place, while I will try to maintain some chronological order, I will make no promises.
-I have been doing so many things lately, I feel like I should at least question whether or not some of this busyness is due to procrastination on my part. After thinking about it for a little while, I have concluded that procrastination, as well as myself, are not to blame for my lack of spare time. Furthermore, I have concluded that the said lack of spare has been acceptable, and not even slightly burdensome.
-The spring softball season ended this weekend with a night game Friday and an afternoon game Saturday. In a Perfect Storm like combination of events, my good friend/ex softball teammate was up for the weekend and stayed at my house, as well as played in both games. I felt the historically awkward feeling that you get when you see the sun come up two nights in a row. Part of me wants to be happy about all the fun I am pretty sure I just had, and part of me feels kind of upset because you know you probably shouldn't still be awake, and your heart definitely shouldn't be pumping as fast as it is. With that said, it was a very fun weekend, even though we unfortunately only won one of our two games.
-Chatter that I have been monitoring for a few weeks turned surprisingly true as I learned yesterday from Bard that he will in fact be auditioning for American Idol tomorrow in Miami, in front of Paula, Simon, and Randy. There was a screening process Sunday that he successfully navigated through, which now leads him to that infamous audition. This is really an ideal situation. He has unknowingly been preparing for this moment his whole life. He is 100% better than 65% of the people I have seen on the show, talent wise; and 100% more entertaining than 100% of them. I will be following this very closely.
-I have gotten a lot done on the New Orleans video, picture slide show, but I need a good 8-10 more hours to wrap it up. The lessons learned during this project will prove to be invaluable.
-I took the laptop to the Apple Store today because it has been sick. We are pursuing a software approach, but might have to resort to a hardware fix. An employee at the store said I should just buy a new one, opposed to pay the $350 flat fee involved in a repair. I looked at him at thought STUPID, but I smiled. Little does that employee know that I would choose to save that laptop over him, if they were both drowning (knowing it's fried circuits would make it no more than a beautiful paperweight).
-I believe Apple will come out with a 8.5 by 11 inch device, that will, simply put, resemble the iPhone. I will talk to you for hours if you want to know why.
-Terminex told me that on a scale of 1 - 10, my house is at a level 2, in regards to bugs and mice and stuff like that. I told the exterminator man that his news made me happy, and that I would like to continue my enrollment in their protection plan to ensure myself, as well as my tenants, can live pest free.
-I now remember why it has been so long since my last blog post. The mud eating scumbags at HBO have done it again. They have literally ripped the heart out of my chest, again. They canceled "John from Cincinnati". I can almost not bear to even talk about it, or even talk about anything else. That show was SO good. It definitely rivaled LOST in it's attractiveness to my brain. HBO did this same exact thing a few years ago with "Carnival". After a SUPER climatic season 2 finale/cliffhanger, they canceled the show. To this day, I have not gotten over Carnival, and then then take John. UGGG...I get a huge stomach ache even thinking about these shows, or even HBO (unless something good is on). If anyone wants to research, and then tell me, where I can buy the books or manuscripts or whatever, telling me about whatever was written for these two shows, after they got canceled, then I would consider myself to owe you a great, non-financial, debt.
-I have entered into a project with a friend. It involves a website and a client. I am excited about it.
There is just so much more to talk about, yet I needed to goto bed like forever ago. In less than one week I will be in Bermuda, with my parents, in the sun, on a cruise. I don't even allow myself to think about how much fun it is going to be, as there are so many things that I need to do before I go.
That was a quick glimpse of the inside.
I hope your inside is going well.
From mine, to yours, good night.
