I forgot to say one thing yesterday in response to Kel's comment, regarding my Animal Rights Stance. After years of getting more and more involved, the more I saw, and learned, the more disgust I had for my fellow man. Even after Lisa and I split up, I tried to remain active, but I don't think I'm strong enough inside to take the toll it puts on a person. I am worried if I knew of a way to join one of the more radical groups I would. There are animal rights groups out there the govt has classified as 'terrorists'. Then the next time you'd see me was on the nightly news getting caught breaking into some corporations labs to free the animals they were torturing to "better man", what a joke, I'd love to put everyone of those scientists in cages and poke them with white hot pokers, the ones that are pointed at the end too. I would tell them we have to perform these tests, because how else would we know whether or not white hot pokers straight out of a fire are safe or not safe?
Now, less serious, it's a Friday for criminy sakes.
Ok, I admit it, I'm busted. I have never been a huge reality show person. I can't stand American Idol, but, I do enjoy America's Got Talent. Sometimes the judges are in the way, but last season the finalists were very talented, and I could have been happy with either winning.
This year, I don't have too many favorites. I like the Sinatra impersonator, and the 'Zupa-stars' (only because they are hilarious). I think my favorite so far is a singer named Eli Mattson.
So I did some browsing last night to see if he maybe had an independent self made cd or something out there. He does have a myspace page, which you can hear some songs there. I found some youtube videos that I'll share. Definitely go to his myspace page to listen to some of his songs. I can't find his second performance of the Elton John classic Your Song. If anyone reading this can, let me know please!

Nobody Knows It But Me
All I'll Be
What a great quote after his last performance.
Springer: "'Do you want to bottle up this moment, and save it forever?"
Eli: "No, I want to drink it up, and do it again"
Hopefully this weekend I set a date for the Sicily trip, I'm running out of time.
ciao!

JUST PLAN IT! :) During lunch this week, I meant to tell you I had the experience of staying with a couple of home stay families when I was overseas, in England and Denmark. I know what you mean by feeling uncomfortable in someone else's space. However, these families made it very nice and relaxing for me. I stayed by myself with the families but was with a group of students. Each had their own home. I too, would feel nervous about the trip, BUT come on! Pull the trigger, how exciting! Do we need to watch Under the Tuscan Sun again! (You're just not allowed to move there! :) Not until you have at least one dinner & chick flick night!) LOL! Have a good one.
Ok ok ok, ya don't want to go alone.... I'll go with you :). I have the time, the passport and the money and have had no big vacation this year. When do we leave? Let's talk this over? OR, we could go to New England and you can captain a sailing ship till the end of Oct.
