Shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to. Whats up everybody its your favorite man signing in. I know its been quite awhile since I drop my thoughts on you...so you wondering whats on my mind: Barack Obama, Jennifer Hudson, Heroes, Las Vegas, China, Amircan Idol, and whatever the heck else is on my mind.
I was going to start with Barack but I have to skip to American Idol. Now I will admit that I watched the first week and laughed at everyone that couldn't sing a lick. And then I had thoughts about myself standing in front of that panel and I actually like my chances. All I know is you let me sing Shai, "If I Ever Fall In Love" and I might be headed straight to Hollywood. But for the first time in over a month I am catching Idol and I think they are down to almost 20 people. And I am thinking about how much of a factory this show is.

I guess the reason why I called it a factory was because I don't have to watch it and I can guess the type of people that will make it to the final round. You have your "I don't look like a singer", "Beauty but singing is suspect", "Shy, not sure if I can sing on the big stage", "Hey I'm a rebel...but I'll sing while I'm here", and "Ohhh by the way we can drag this contest on but the world knows I am the best singer" personalities. There is always a little bit of scandal, stars that got booted that go on to stardom, and don't forget the ability to text message your life away so that Fox collects all the way to the bank.
This leads to the next thing that was on my mind...former Idol Jennifer Hudson. This girl has been living it up with a hit role in a big move, which I want to see, I wonder which personality she played while on the show. Save the drama, vote Obama that will be my motto all the way to the elections. I really like Obama and all that he stands for and I know many people would like to protect him and fear for his life, but Barack has the ability to do more than make history. He can run a country in a clean, fair, and possibly bipartisan fashion. Heroes is a show that I have started to watch and I like the plot. Its almost like an X-Men type of feel but like the cartoon lacks in the reality department. The show I most recently watch talked of a plant where they experimented with humans and then created people with crazy abilities to read minds, create fire, move through walls...and that good stuff. Good ole china has created a buying opportunity for my stock portfolio. In case you didn't notice China who has single handily propped up the worlds economy for the last few years had a slight stock market plunge. It dropped 9% the other day which lead the Dow Jones to fall roughly 500 points. Tread cautiously in this market but look for great buying opportunities. And finally, my thoughts on Las Vegas and All-Star weekend. There was a lot of noise and negativity around the All Star break but being there on ground zero I have to say it was one of the best vacations that I have had. Unfortunately I have to send a reminder to America that whenever a group of people of a similar culture get together it doesn't always have to be looked at negatively. Vegas was a melting pot of colors and that should be appreciated, not depreciated.
Holla
