A blog post is not a diary entry. Although personal,it is meant to
be read - theoretically - by "the world", meaning I would want to be
careful with my true thoughts and feelings. More than 1 hour and only 1
Martini later, my tears have dried but my mood's still dark.
Yeah,
"dark! Adjective of the season! The "dark horse" wins over the early
front runner. Who would have guessed? Nobody! Because it's not deserved
anyway! Sorry Kris! You're cute, you can play the guitar and the piano
but even Danny Gokey or Matt Giraud are better singers than you.
And then there's Adam Lambert.
Gosh, thank God there's Adam Lambert! Take that bible belt! For me,
personally, that's the end of American Idol! But two seasons that I
watched religiously (here we are again!) are enough, and I don't
believe (another innuendo!) that there will be ever - hands down -
anybody as charismatic and talented as Adam Lambert on that show! But
that's not all. He blew me away with his really sweet and ultra polite
personality, week for week. Nobody else had that much - yes, I dare to
say it - grace!
While
reading tons of professionally written articles and semi- to
non-professional (but heart felt) blog posts, I came across a couple of
Adam Lambert tidbits that I found remarkable, true or not true, for me
somewhat meaningful nonteheless.
Adam Lambert is supposedly a big
believer in Astrology and so am I. I have my very own match-making
philosophies. Just ask me. He's Aquarius and I am Libra and we would go
well together would I've not already given my heart to Gemini Oliver
and was there not...
... that age difference!
Yesterday, I read that Adam Lambert cut his head open not just once but twice!
Well, I am glad that I survived this one time last year, a day after my
birthday, but cutting your head open definitely connects, I think. (I
have a new friend who also had a head injury and who beat me with 8 to
just 7 staples! I wonder how many Adam Lambert had?! I am sure he must
have chosen staples over stitches since the latter requires shaving
hair...)
And then there's the love for goth, punk, black, cool
hair, rock music and all that... As for me, I never felt the desire to
be on stage, to perform, to be somebody else. I love to be me, yes I
do, and I prefer to do my own hair, nails, etc. but... I do love to be
on stage, speaking in front of people, entertaining, and maybe it's
about time to think about what I can do with that desire... And I
certainly also do love rock. Not Kiss, and also not too much Led Zeplin
- although Adam Lambert's Whole Lotta Love performance was just
phenomenal - but I love rock much, much more than my husband. If I
didn't have to go to work each day or if a day wasn't limited by only
24 hours, I'd pick up playing guitar again. I so badly want to make
music. I think, I'll give Garage Band a try - we'll see where this will
lead me.
And while I am still sad (aka upset) that Adam Lambet
didn't get crowned, I know he'll be THE next rock king anyway. He
already has the most iTunes downloads in his pocket and he rules!
I'll be looking forward to seeing him on stage come August 8th because, I did it! 3 weeks ago, I bought a ticket for the Idol's tour (I
actually bought 2 and best hubby ever will join me). And that's where
American Idol and I will depart forever. No season 9 for me but Adam
Lambert forever!
In every little piece of interview, Adam
Lambert's face lit up when the question came up regarding recording an
album and I hope, he'll be able to produce a good one. One he'll be
proud of to have made. And one I'll be happy to listen to.
Wishing Adam Lambert
all the best - the journey has just begun and who knows, maybae I'll be
writing the screenplay to a movie he's starring in... or maybe I'll
write a really cool song that needs a gifted singer or maybe... there
are still chances and hope (the last innuendo for today) is still
there! Congrats and best of luck to Adam Lambert, thanks for being
around and doing what you're doing, and a thick skin for Kris. Amen.

P.S. And now I am off to get creative, I have my very own goals to pursue....
P.P.S.
Although the real talent has been neglected, I am somehwat relieved
that (post) punk and goth are still somewhat sub-culture and not yet
mainstream. Always trying to see the positive in this truly Mad World!
