My wife and daughter are sick with some stomach thing. Not sure where it came from but when you eat out everyday on a road trip, you takes ya chances. I hope they get better soon. We have to travel Friday and that will be miserable for all of us if they have to do that. I know it stinks when you have to be cramped in a car and don’t feel good during crappy weather.
Changing the subject, I often think and talk about these things that give me pause or make me try to understand myself better. Watching American Idol, and no I am not being facetious. I am watching American Idol and I was mainly doing it for the wife. The auditions are my favorite for obvious reasons, see the loons and guess at who will be in the finals. I also like to hear people I identify with in terms of music and such. However, tonight I was pleasantly surprised not by a contestant but by Steven Tyler. I don’t like Aerosmith. I don’t like his sleaze bag tendencies, which I don’t know if he is truly a slut or if he was just doing the persona thing. What I do know is he was someone I could easily see me working with or hanging out with as long as he wasn’t trying to act like a teenager.
I saw him truly look into people and enjoy what he was doing. I saw him be constructive and grow through the auditions and I hope he and Jennifer Lopez continue to grow. They need to experience what happens when you don’t work with someone and five them direct constructive feed back and then they will never soften a message again or beat around the bush. Other than that, I think the chemistry that I saw tonight and the dedication that was exhibited will be a good fit. I think there is still a lot of difficult things they must go through before they gel but so far so good.
One girl I think should not have been let through as she won’t make it past the first week anyway and they know it. It was early on and they felt guilty. That needs to change and I think it is. So I actually think Steven Tyler is a good fir. He was amiable and approachable and gave a good calm to the room that I didn’t expect. I cant wait to see his input and instruction through the whole process once this really gets kicked off with single performances.
Had a good meeting today. I didn’t care for the breakfast much but I am picky. Lunch was okay and dinner was better but I ate too much of course. I am trying to catch up on my water drinking today as I am woefully behind and had too much coke and Mt. Dew.
All right, off to wait on Letterman and then sleep.
