Okay, so I'm going to go off on a little rant of sorts here.

Ludacris has been called the new Sir Mix A Lot, in that he's funny, never takes himself all that seriously and seems to be getting a lot of the "mainstream" people who would've never listened to rap giving it a shot. If that's the case, then why can't Matt Lindahl be considered the new Roger Miller? He's funny as shit, never takes himself too seriously and seems to be getting a lot of my uptight "I would never be caught dead listening to country music, let alone something that features a washboard" friends into his stuff.

Since I'm already on the topic of reality music shows, I rarely watch American Idol but the few times I've caught it lately, I've been quite impressed by Jennifer Hudson, the stunning girl from Chicago. Needless to say, when I found out she'd been voted off, I was upset but not all that shocked. This is a country full of idiotic lemmings who wouldn't recognize decent talent if it showed up on their TV every week (wait a second...). But I'm pretty sure she won't have a problem getting a record contract, what with a voice like that and people like Oprah and Elton John expressing disgust about what happened. If only we could all be as lucky.

Why the hell can't I find the song I want on Kazaa? Better yet, why the hell does Kazaa Lite want to make you pay now? Sure, I found another site where I didn't have to pay but still, it's the principle that I'm talking about. However would I find a way to access really bad Hilary Duff songs that get stuck after listening to the radio in the car? Surely I cannot be expected to get dressed, leave my house, go to the store and actually pay my hard earned money for a CD full of crappy songs just because of one extremely catchy bad song?

Speaking of Kazaa, I am kind of mad that I can't get Lindahl on it. I'm aware he's a relatively new artist and he probably makes like no money (more than me though, that's the bitch) therefore needs to make some off his CD that's sold on the website. But okay, I ordered the CD - what the hell am I supposed to listen to in the meantime? This is worse than not getting my bad Hilary Duff song fix.

God, I have weird (and occasionally bad) taste in music.

I wish Leona Naess would come back to Chicago. I am sick and tired of lusting after relatively unknown artists who never come and see me. I really should consider giving that Hilary Duff CD a shot. At least she'd go on a huge tour and make sure I could get seventeen different T-shirts with her face plastered on it.

I feel dirty.

But seriously, she's not all that bad looking. Then again, neither was I at sixfuckingteen.

Maybe it's lack of sleep but I just realized that little miss uber teen sensation looks a lot like WWE's Trish Stratus.

Without all the tits, of course.

My eyelids feel like they have forty pound weights on them. Perhaps it's time for bed now.

Leftover Chinese will ALWAYS taste better the next day.
