Keeping the Sizzle sizzling...

Okay, so Sizzle has thrown down the gauntlet, so I am facing the challenge and going public with my Top 10 American Idol predictions.

I was really excited to see the guys go at it last night (watch it), but I have to say I was a little disappointed. They didn't bring it as well as I wanted it broughten, with the exception of Taylor. He has my vote to make it in the top 3 without question. I like his attitude, musicianship and I am even letting go of the fear that he might tip over at any minute from leaning too far to the side.

Other notes:

• Brenna has got to go. It is obvious she was just let through for TV purposes because in addition to being highly annoying, she can't hold a note.
  
• Ace can mow my lawn in his underwear whenever he wants (even though I don't have a front lawn. I'll grow one).
  
• Kellie Pickler makes me cry everytime she is on the screen. I don't need her to win, but I need her to go far. I know her drive to make something of herself while her broken family looks on. There is something to be felt making something of yourself out of adversity.
• Chris got my vote not just because he sang a Bon Jovi song, but because he knocked it out of the ball park!
  
• Paris has some serious pazazz. I am looking forward to watching that little girl spread her wings.
• And as much as I loved Mandisa's performance of Heart, I was very concerned by the fact that no one mentioned she looked like she showed up for the performance disheveled and in her sexy undergarments (read: second job). A new wardrobe and she will definitely go far!

And here are my hopes and predictions for the final 10:

1. Taylor Hicks
2. Kellie Pickler
3. Paris Bennett
4. Ace Young
5. Chris Daughtry
6. Lisa Tucker
7. Jose "Sway" Penala
8. Will Makar
9. Mandisa
10. Ayla Brown

Your next American Idol...

Shaunessy found this for me this morning on the American Idol website. I wasn't going to post it (as most know, I am not a fan of my profile), until I realized what I am doing in the pic. I was coming down the red carpet and ran up and grabbed Constantine's ass while he was mid-TV interview (it was a party for the final 24 contestants). I'm guessing the folks at A.I. didn't want the whole image in there, but I love that they at least grabbed the spirit of the moment!

my inbox is full and they all seem to resonate

Dear Bob,
Here is your single's love horoscope
for Tuesday, February 21:

There's only one person you should be concentrating on -- and that's you. Do something for yourself that feels just a little bit indulgent. You deserve the best, and only you know exactly what you want. Go get it!

I'm going back to bed.

Dear Bob,
Here is your horoscope
for Monday, February 20:

You're the hub of lots and lots of social activity, but what you really need more than anything is some peace and quiet. It's hard to give up being the center of attention, but it's necessary if you want to get anything done.

Still Smokin'

It is safe to say, I did not have a normal childhood. While other children were being groomed on Disney movies and muppets, I was being raised by Cheech and Chong. Call it progressive. Which is why tonight, as Em and I were walking around the finale party of That '70s Show and saw Tommy Chong sitting down, we had to ask him for a photo. There are just certain people you can't pass up.

My trick is really working for standing behind and making my head look smaller, but I think I need to start putting my hand on the person's shoulder so it at least looks like I am with them and not put in the pic after the fact!

quote of the day...

from my friend Glenn...

"I sympathize with Harry Whittington, the man that Cheney shot. I too have been shot in the face by a Dick and it hurts!"

On my way to being a Gelebrity...

My gorgeous friend Lisa Foxx at Star 98.7 has pulled through and put me on the air Friday nights in a new segment called, "Big Gay Baub's "It" Things To Do In Los Angeles".

Cancerian Horoscope

"Love at first sight may be a matter of instinctively recognizing someone who will allow you to continue in comfortingly familiar--and often destructive--patterns learned in childhood." So said Salon.com's Lisa Zeidner in her review of Maggie Scarf's book Intimate Partners. Make that idea your watchword in the coming weeks. Let it be the beacon that guides you away from the sentimental illusions about romance that you may still be drawn to. After all, there are few things that undermine authentic love more than infantile wishes and naive fantasies. Happy Valentine Daze, Cancerian!

My confession of the day...

My friend Paula (far left) finally got to meet some of her all time heartthrobs and faves, INXS, at a recent radio event in Seattle. Here she is with Garry and JD. I know it seems sacreligious, but I kind of like that new JD character.

I will never forget when Paula and I saw INXS in Seattle... I think 1994? hmmm... Paula? I seem to recall I hadn't come out yet, which would've made it '93... either way, I will never forget being pressed up against the front of the stage and all of the hands that went flying in the air when Michael Hutchence came near... I took the opportunity to run my hand up his thigh... yep.
I did it.
I said it.
I can still feel his leather pants.
He was a rock God.
It will always be one of my more proud accomplishments!

Cancer Horoscope for week of February 2, 2006

Verticle Oracle card Cancer (June 21-July 22)

After torrential rains caused flooding in the small town where I live, the Thai restaurant was one of the few downtown businesses that was spared catastrophic damage. The maitre d' explained to me why as I ordered my to-go dinner tonight. "We've always hated our tile floor. It makes the place feel sterile, and it's slippery. People lose their footing if there's even a little wet spot. But when the three feet of floodwater poured in, our tile floor held up. All the stores around us had wooden floors that were destroyed." This is your metaphor of the week, Cancerian. Something in your life that you have regarded as a problem will become a saving grace.

Will Ferrell making sense...

I'm Going To Be All Right

This weekend, my friends flew me to Tahoe after I bowed out of the trip due to a lack of funds. There is something very humbling about your friends wanting you to be with them so badly that they are willing to do anything to make it happen. While flying into Reno, there was horrible turbulence. In my mind, I began giving myself up to the plane and to fate should anything happen. I was willing to accept that it was meant to be. In that same moment, I also reached for my notebook.

I am happy to say that I landed safely and had a beautiful weekend with my equally beautiful and treasured friends. In my moment of release, this is what landed in my journal...

i see the snow capped mountains
tranquil beneath me.
my heart beats heavily
as it seeps at the seams
overflowing with so much love.
i look out at the expanse of the land.
contemplating my place.
my presence.
my friends wait for me to land.
to arrive.
i'm such a microcosm in the world
until i view it from the window.
suddenly it all seems so small.
perspective.
it reminds me to think.
to question.
to realize.
it's not about my fame.
my popularity.
my riches.
it's not about my struggles.
my bankrupt fortune.
it blooms from my kindness.
my consideration.
my openness.
my willingness.
my yearning for connectedness.
i shine my light.
it warms.
it heals.
it brings comfort.
my friends reciprocate.
they fill me with their light.
it recharges me.
gives me strength
to continue and carry on.
to believe in myself.
to honor myself.
to cherish life's blessings.
i stare out the window.
the beauty of the earth below me.
acknowledging my place.
my legacy.
my hope.
my light glows from within.
i'm going to be all right.

oh Sundance...

Just a few pics that popped up on WireImage this morning that I thought I would share from the weekend... I am too tired to say much more (I haven't slept since yesterday morning at 9:30am)...

Save the date!

Come support my friend's book signing... we need as many people there as possible!

Thanks so much to everyone who has indulged me this last year and read and kept up with my Love Handles journey... the final one is up and ready to read and I have to admit, I am a lot relieved... I had no idea putting myself out there would be as frustrating, cathartic, tantrum inducing and ultimately freeing as it was... I suggest everyone take some time to look inside themselves and figure out the hows and whys they tick and learn to live outside their comfort zones, just not in such a public way!

So here it is...

do i know how lucky i am?

Dear Bob,
Here is your horoscope
for Wednesday, January 11:

Are you fully aware of how lucky you are? There are some amazing people in your life who have been guiding forces and inspirations on your path. In fact, some of the most difficult ones have taught you the most.

Here's your one chance Fancy!!!

A picture is worth a thousand words! I went to a taping of one of my favorite shows thanks to my friend Joanna (who ironically I did not take a pic with) and got to meet one of my idols... Reba McEntire... Fancy has always been one of my favorite songs to perform at karaoke... and yes, I do mean perform! (just click on them if you want to see them larger)

So Pure...

You from new york,
You are so relevant.
You reduce me to cosmic tears.

Luminous moreso than most anyone.
Unapologetically alive.
Knot in my stomach,
And lump in my throat.

I love you when you dance,
When you freestyle in trance,
So pure, such an expression.

Supposed former infatuation junkie.
I sink three pointers,
And you wax poetically.

I love you when you dance,
When you freestyle in trance,
So pure, such an expression.

Let’s grease the wheel over tea.
Let’s discuss things in confidence.
Let’s be outspoken, let’s be ridiculous,
Let’s solve all the worlds problems.

I love you when you dance,
When you freestyle in trace,
So pure, such an expression.
