American Idol

So CTV has announced their latest round of Canadian Idol auditions and I couldn't help but think, "you know what... I should go". Yes, I'm 3 years too old but I just want to know if I would get a pass. Just for kicks.

The whole age thing got me to thinking. Why hasn't someone had an idol type competition for adults. Sure there's lots of money in kids and teenagers but surely I think people would want to watch a competition for 25-35 year olds. I mean you wanna talk about hidden talent. There are people working behind desks who might have been singing for 10 or 15 years. My self serving interests not withstanding, I truly believe this is something people want to see.

In the meantime I just watched the worst singer in the world get advanced to Hollywood on America Idol... It's like watching a dog getting hit by a car sometimes.

I am become cliche

So here I am, in my mid twenties, black plastic glasses, living in a downtown condo with the all the finest Swedish accoutrements, working for a dot com and now... a blog. Before you know it you I'll be looking down my nose at people who don't use obscure browsers and don't get jokes that involve html tags. Luckily, I've purchased a shiny new pistol that I will insert deep into my mouth should I ever find myself looking at someone in the mirror who resembles that e-liteist, self absorbed, pretentious wireframe.

I wish I could put a big red button on the top of my blog that would let you make my computer explode if I ever become the kind of person that makes me hate blogs.

But enough about that. After all, there are an infinite number of things I can pretend to know about other than myself and everyone else.
