About Me
- Brooke
- I am a 40-something mom of 5 great kids. I can't really say "stay home mom" because I spend so much time driving my kids around that I'm rarely home. So much of my life is focused on the people around me that it's really hard for me to come up with an "About Me" statement. Maybe writing this blog will help me remember who I am. Or maybe it will just end up being more about the people around me. If so, I'm going to move to Nepal and becoming a monk.

"American Idol" is morally wrong on every conceivable level. It celebrates all the wrong values of artistry. Any idiot can be taught to passably sing and dance. Very few, however, can write timeless, catchy, lovely, enduring songs. Why don't we celebrate THOSE people.
Bob Dylan would never have even gotten a tryout on "American Idol." Simon would have shredded him. Paula would have started drinking heavily. And Randy would be blathering about his "pitchiness."
Duh! It's not about good music; it's just entertaining for our family (no swearing, nudity or violence is a big plus for us).
Are you equally upset that Biggest Loser is about exploiting fat people rather than encouraging a healthy lifestyle? News Flash - reality TV is categorically stupid and not to be taken seriously. :-)
We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE American Idol. And we occassionally watch the biggest loser, it makes me feel better about myself, that maybe I am not such a heffer after all. :) Go Simon! Go Paula! Yo dawg Randy!
