What a surprise.

Agreed with Bill, 'though you gotta have talent to get popular, but nevertheless, pure talent is never gonna give the extra umph needed to keep going forward. I read that Seacrest's contract expires at the end of this season and he's not likely to get the same $ contract again. He's one of entertainment's biggest hosts today and if he leaves Idol as well, it's not gonna leave the show with much.

I suppose this applies mostly to people in their 20s and over, but if you were to write a letter to your younger self (and you can decide how young) what would you write? What's something you wish your younger self knew or would have benefited from taking advantage of? Anything to avoid? or what about just some interesting thoughts? As for me Dear 13 or 14 year old YB, I've had the biggest crush on you forever. Seriously. Relax and stop fidgeting, you look like an idiot. And please stop wearing baggy t shirts, you're not from the hood and you don't have a bling to match. Invest in a nice pair of shoes, be the kid with the pumped up kicks, but other than that you really don't need to try so hard to impress. Be yourself and things come naturally, try too hard and things work the opposite way. Keep in touch with friends who move, you'll miss them later. High school sucks compare to what's beyond and life's gonna suck at 18 when you realize you hadn't gotten any, but college will be a buffet. Look forward to that. Heads up though, a friend of yours will soon give you a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in his pants. Do not blow it (or blow it ), you'll be wishing it happened years later. All in all, you're all good to go, just relax, keep doing what you do, stay open minded and everything will be just dandy. YB2.0

Yeah, it's gonna be Phillip. He did pretty well tonight I thought, and even if he didn't, he most likely would win it anyways. The songs written for both of them were shitty shitty shitty.

Whatever, the idea is dumb.

I doubt it's gonna be someone that "major" and the chances of them making Batman or Superman gay is as likely as Captain America being reintroduced as a communist. Besides, the Dark Knight and superman movies are still in production, it just wouldn't make any sense. The comics and characters are still a huge business. I just have a hard time believing they're gonna tarnish it's reputation and market by making someone significant gay. Even I would be pissed off if that happened. And they said "won't be ambiguously gay anymore" meaning it's someone who's always been questionable, not just fantasized to be gay.

I never really liked many covers done on Youtube. The vast majority are just people who feel a need to get themselves on the web despite the fact that they really got nothing special going on for em. I do like Boyce Avenue a whole lot though.

Happy birthday Myr

Some of my fav contestants of all time are Chris Daughtry, David Cook, David Archuleta, Blake Lewis and Scotty McCreery. I don't remember their seasons though.

It's so good to be back on campus visiting and seeing the '12 grads. Exciting times.

I feel shitty, and I feel guilty for feeling shitty and shitty for feeling shitty because I shouldn't be. I don't usually talk about any kinda problems I have with friends, mostly because I don't have many problems to talk about and aside from that, I'm just not that kinda guy who puts on a sad face when I'm out or will call someone and chat about it. But it doesn't mean I don't feel what I feel and sometimes it just gets a little silly because here I'll sit close to midnight in my room in the dark and all I can think about is GA and this depression thread I'm sure it'll pass by morning and I'll be making my way back down to my old campus again for graduation weekend so this is something to look forward to, but for the moment, I suppose I'll just overshare myself into embarrassment. Last night I had a really weird dream and a small part of it involved this guy who I used to be "friends" with back in high school. I met him in middle school, so it's a ways back. Anyways, I like him a lot. He recently got engaged and I'm happy for him but it sorta brings out a little weird mood in me just because in the past I've had more feeling for him than anyone else I've ever met in my life and the fact that he's now sealed the deal with some girl who I don't know is a very 'eh' kinda feeling, not that I had a chance with him either way. So I been thinking about him and it just happened that a part of my dream involved him....and it's really stupid actually because he broke his engagement off for me. It's about as cliche as it can get, and now I feel like a total loser. There's this guy I got together with a long time ago...total babe...in a way it felt like I overreached and lucked out because if I think about most of the other guys I've gotten with before, it's like "hmmmm...definitely top 3". We made out in my car to the radio at a park (which had a really nice touch to it except for when some cheesy love song came on and you could tell the awkwardness in the car just got to an all time high) and afterwards we were suppose to hang out again a couple of days later but I didn't hear from him and I wouldn't let my ego take a step down so I didn't follow up with him either and now it's like 6 months later. The other day I messaged him again to say hi and asked if he would like to hang out again sometime. Usually in those situations people who aren't interested would either ignore the message or find some excuse right? Not this guy. He unhesitantly said "I'm not interested". That was a big "whoa" moment. it's never happened before. Not that I've never been turned down before but not like that. Did I do something wrong? Doubt it. What a bitch. As much as I appreciate not being led on my lame excuses, a lame excuse woulda let me down easy. I went to an amusement park today with some friends...it was crazy stupid fun. Lots and lots of cute guys everywhere. School's let out and all. I got quite a few looks my way and this one girl wouldn't even break a stare as she stood in line like 15 people behind me...which is cool, but the disappointing part is. They were all girls. Of course a guy would never outright stare at me even if he wanted to, but wouldn't it be nice to be obviously noticed by someone who I might actually be interested in? I guess I'm reaching for the stars. Feel free to ignore all of this. (HA ironically this is at the end of all that wordy nonsense)

Why'd you get the juice?

I missed it tonight. It sucks Hollie is gone. I was rooting for her because her hometown is less than 10 miles north of me, so I probably would have gone to her organized parade/event/whatever.

I saw this on Facebook and wanted to share it

The mailman musta been really hot Plus I hear that at his school the showers run Pellegrino. And rumor has it, their laundries don't just clean clothes, they make em new again.

I love my parents to death...but, yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh And you can't bring guys home. Not that I have anyone to bring home, but that's not the point!

Yeah, it does seem like these days people are more concerned with finding a job after graduating than finding the job, but it's definitely not impossible. A lot of people my age are still discovering what they're really interested in (regardless of major) and/or good at, and that's perfectly fine, but it makes it a little harder to land something solid and more permanent. You can't land a dream job without a dream, that kinda thing. This applies to me somewhat. I'm working and learning and plan to go to grad school in a year or two after I have a better direction. Also, keep in mind that the odds favor certain people, degrees, schools, etc much more than others. Not every graduate is the same. Anyways, regardless of all that...graduation is still cool. Moving forward, growing up and all that cheesy stuff. I'm pretty interested in high school grads these days and hearing about what schools they picked. I have friends with younger siblings and I'm pretty excited for them.

Am I exempt from this? I mean...I guess I could eat my own lunch

I'm not sure how many this applies to, but I'd like to say congrats to all who have graduated or are graduating this May, whether it be from high school, college or beyond. Hope it's been a blast and hope you're all moving on to better and more exciting things. A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success. Robert Orben

Congrats on your Master's. I graduated back in December but opted to participate in the spring graduation instead cuz the December one sucks. So this will be me this weekend. I dunno about you but it seems to me like college (or beyond) graduation is nowhere near as epic or as much of a milestone as high school graduation for some odd reason even though high school was nothing compared to college. Thinking about it, people change tremendously at both stages but I guess there's just something about high school.

Aren't straight girls just gay guys without penises?

You're moving 1000 miles away...time to make new friends.
