Up To The Mountain

Crystal Bowersox may not have won the TV contest for American Idol, but I sorta think she has cooler fans. Don't get me wrong, Lee DeWyze or whatever his name is, is good and his eyes are pretty. And we all know, middle American don't want dreads on their Idol. That's fine, she'll probably do better without being the winner. I'll buy her CD. She's got a Joss Stone Bonnie Raitt Janis Joplin voice, all of whom belong in the MAN HATERS CLUB section of my music. One more ballsy woman will fit just fine.

The Idol experience was sadly interrupted last night by the news that the all day standoff in Hanamaulu ended in a suicide and it turned out to be the father of one of the people in the PLAY I posted below. I'm not going to put a link to the news paper article here, so if you really want to know you have to look for it yourself. And then someone elses father from the cast in the play, ended up in the ER in serious condition in an unrelated event.

Public School was out yesterday. And strangely enough, just at the time our lame nene governor says she's got Furlough Friday figured out..... we'll see.... She also said she was mailing out our tax refunds - the ones we sent in in January! I didn't see mine in the mail box, and I know I was one of the first group of people to file.

Enough of this BS. Shit stop that OIL - what a disgrace, what a tragedy.

Have a nice day....


I went up to the mountain
Because you asked me to
Up over the clouds
To where the sky was blue
I could see all around me
Everywhere
I could see all around me
Everywhere

Sometimes I feel like
I've never been nothing but tired
And I'll be walking
Till the day I expire
Sometimes I lay down
No more can I do
But then I go on again
Because you ask me to

Some days I look down
Afraid I will fall
And though the sun shines
I see nothing at all
Then I hear your sweet voice, oh
Oh, come and then go, come and then go
Telling me softly
You love me so


The peaceful valley
Just over the mountain
The peaceful valley
Few come to know
I may never get there
Ever in this lifetime
But sooner or later
It's there I will go
Sooner or later
It's there I will go
