Singers for Idol in Louisville

When you click this link, scroll over to Desiree Dew (shes like number 32 wearing a white T-shirt) and listen to her. Then my cousin (Amanda Reardon) is number 38 and shes wearing a red shirt. You won't be disappointed Louisville Idol.

Due to how they posted the videos it is almost impossible to rip them off individually. Those bastards. lol.

American PINCHE Idol

Photobucket

Get excited everybody, I have the inside scoop on the American Idol auditions! Ok, so no, I don't have an inside scoop, but I do have what I saw when I went!!!

Let's see it all started this past Saturday ( July 19, 2008) at o' dark-thirty in the morning. The line was comprised of everyone and their mama. It was flippin ridiculous. And it was way past my bedtime, by the way.

And we just waited and waited and waited for those cabrones to open the doors so that my cousin could register...thats right, we weren't there for her to audition, no no, just to register to audition at a later time. I swear hasn't this multi million dollar company ever hear of the internet? That would expedite this process so much faster! But alas, after a few hours and a few pots of coffee later, my cousin and I met our "idol buddy", Dez. Photobucket
(
She flippin rocks, by the way, we even went clubbin that night, it was fantastic!)

(My cousin, who sings like no other.)

So with coffee, cigarettes, and the movie Ratatouille, and the countless hours of "Hey, look at that guy!" time passed relatively fast...(If you don't know what hey look at that guy is, its basically some people looking at a particular person and they make up their entire life...)

So I started this game with my cousin and a complete group of strangers by saying "Hey, look at that guy, his name is Greg...he's 38 and single and works at the post office" and from behind me I heard a complete stranger say "...but he watches more porn than anyone..." I was sooooo amazed that someone from a far and distant land knew of the game and soo appropriately chimed in...we were like BFFS, sadly they didn't want their picture taken or their name posted on the internet, (they weren't auditioning). So being the good natured person that I am, I shall comply. But they were from North Dakota ( I didn't know people actually lived there...) and they were uber cool!!!

So by mid morning we were registered and ready to come back Monday!

Monday came, and it was very similiar to Saturday. The city of Louisvillie came to audition with the hopes of being the one! (Hehe "There Can Be Only One...") We did a bunch of recordings and stuff for the show and basically utilized the same strength enhancers of the other day (coffee, cigarettes, and movies).

FINALLY its audition time!! They were herded like cattle to line up in rows of four in front of one of 12 tables. They sang and if they passed, they got a golden ticket for round two. If they didn't, the walk of shame they took.



Despite, neither my idol buddy nor my cousin are going to be the next American Idol, they learned a lot from this experience: apparently you must be big busted and talented at the same time. Talent alone is not going to win the competition. :-0

Ray-gard-less, they are idols in my book, and both are very talented individuals.

(Side note: Dez sang "Bobby McGee", by Janis Joplin. Amanda sang "When You Say Nothing At All", by Alison Krauss)

Ponderisms

Just some food for thought.

How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?







Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'.. But it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?





Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?







Why does a round pizza come in a square box?





What disease did cured ham actually have?







How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?







Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?







If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?








Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?







Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?







Why do doctors leave the room while you change? They're going to see you naked anyway.









Why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural?







Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?







If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song about him?







Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane ?







If the professor on Gilligan's Island can make a radio out of a coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?







Why does Goofy stand erect while Pluto remains on all fours? They're both dogs!







If Wile E.

Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME crap, why didn't he just buy dinner?







If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, what is baby oil made from?







If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?







Do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?







Why did you just try singing the two songs above?







Why do they call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, but call it a hemorrhoid when it's in your butt?







Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him for a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

Facts about my Foodi-ness.

Ok, so on Flea D'Lure's blog I was tagged with a foodi-ness quiz. Here are my five guilty facts about food.

1) Indian curries: Omfg, these rock my socks. These wonderful stewed delicacies eaten with Naan or Paneer. The best finger food alive. With the most satisfying spices and aromatics, eating with my fingers has never been better.

2) Bread: All kinds. From- fluffy to crusty, from sweet to savory. There is nothing you can't eat with bread. Soup, mmm bread. Stew, mmmm bread. Italian, thats right; mmm bread. Who doesn't love a good sandwich, I mean really.

3)Tofu: This is probably one of the most versatile ingredients ever! You can grill it, fry it, stew it, bake it, you can even puree it with soy or almond milk and make puddings (and even ice cream!!!) Tofu makes any meal complete. Its fabulous!

4)Coffee: This should be available intravenously. I do not function without my coffee, ask anyone. All sorts of coffee too, flavored, plain. Hot. Cold. Sweet. Black. It matters not. And I'm not talking about the useless brown water, either. Caffine is a must.

5)Artichokes: Olive oil (or butter). Enough said.

such a math geek... but good food So, I'm a food geek. What?

Monday, July 14, 2008

Yup, you guessed it...more garble.

So, I'm smoking a cigarette right now, and I just started thinking. Random thoughts, really, but nonetheless, thinking.

I figured that I would digitally write some thoughts down and see where I end up in the end. This post will probably make no sense, and it'll most definitely jump around, but if you knew me as a person you'd understand. lol

So I realized that I hate the invention of the modern cellphone. More than that I hate the fact that it has become my electronic leash. If anyone ever needs to get ahold of me, the call my phone. I much prefer text messages to actual calls because I usually don't feel like speakin. lol If I want to talk, I call. lol Well it is approximately 4:45pm and I have already received 10 phone calls. (I didn;t get out of bed until like 2pm.) So in a little over two and a half hours, I have received 10 phone calls. And none of them was social, it was "Robb can you do this for me", and "Robb can take me here", and "Robb I need this" and "Robb I need that." I'm like no, I'm not a taxi, no I'm not an ATM, and no no no. Very rarely does anyone want to just chill. There are a few people that I would definitely help out whenever, they are my nonsexual life partner, and my "big sisters", and my "little brother". And they call me fairly often, but its "hey, how are you," and "what are you doing later, you want to come over and chill or something" its never give me this please or drive me here, the whiney shit. The rest of these people have never been there for me nor have they even ever just called to chill with me or even just to say whats up. BLAH!!!!

On a more postive note, I got to hang out with some uber cool people from high school that I really haven't seen, well since high school! lol My friend Brittany now owns her own house, which I'm uber happy about!!! And a few of the others are first time mommys and stuff. Thats all awesome. I ended up gettin a little too drunk and had to fight for my friends honor because her baby daddy showed up and smacked her in front of me...in front of me!!!! So I did what I thought was appropriate at the time, and dragged his skinny ass into the street and smacked him around. Probably not the wisest thing to do, but eh. He fucked up. But after he went away to lick his wounds, we continued the party. lol Kings is my favorite drinking game by the way.

So I watched a movie that was really good. It doesn't even fit in with the normal movies that I enjoy watching, but it was good nevertheless. Apocalypto. It's about the fall of the Mayan Empire. It was fabulous!!! I strongly suggest this movie. If you like historical fiction, or just action packed goodness, its great!!!

Ummm, and a song that I recommend listening to:One Thing, by Finger 11

And if you're feeling frisky enough to click on yet another link, click this one this is some funny shit!!!

Well, that is all! PLUR!

The spark of randomness

Okay, so it has been a couppla days since my first post so let's see what's up.

Well the Fourth was definitely interesting. My non-sexual life partner and her family (well all but her two oldest) came over for a veggie head cook out. (No animals were harmed in the making of that cook out). Then for the baby we blew some shit up. It was fantasic! Then I went out for some adult activity, which was eh. But then RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. lol

Um so yeah. I really dont have much to get into today. Just felt as though I should post something again.

But I have a few questions for the world out there:

1) Which is worse: Famine or disease? Why?

2) Will there ever be "World Peace?"

3) Meat eating vs Vegan/Veggietarian?

Well have fun all. I'm out!!!

Random Garble from the Robb.



Okay, so let me start this blog with a warning. Maybe "warning" was a bad word-caution, that's the word I'll use. Let me start with a cautionary statement: I am random as hell! I try to be concise and one track minded, perhaps Gay-d-d is a real disorder?! Well, let me start this little bout of Robb-ness.

Since this is my first post on this here blog thingy, I thought it best to give a little insight on who I am, so that in future posts somethings may be more clear.

As previously stated, I'm random. Fun, but random. Some things just roll off my tongue (well, in this case off my fingers) without notice or forethought. I dunno, shit happens I guess.

I'm 22 from the great state of Kentucky, Louisville to be specific (which is twice as safe as Buffalo, by the way), and I enjoy things most Kentuckians do: I smoke cigarettes and drink mad moonshine. Lmao. I do have a funny accent at times, and I enjoy it. I love to sit on the porch and sip heavily sweetned iced tea. Country music isn't really my thing, but eh, I've been known to get down with some fiddle every now and then.

I'm a horror buff. Love my blood and gore!!!!! I have been known to curl up on the couch with a box of tissues and watch a tear jerker, though. My favorite movie of all time is Blood Ties.

I'm a metal head. I love my guteral growls and hard bass. Heh.

Um, and in person I try to be funny. At times I go a little too far, but its in good fun!

What else to say about myself? I plan on using this blog to explore my randomness, and just post memories and funny shit. Ha! So if there are things of interest, leave comments. Leave comments about what you want to read, and I may just work it in. lol.

Let me end this post with a thought: Tact is for people who aren't witty enough for sarcasm.
