American Idol

Oh what can I say about that show... I find myself drawn to it like a bystander watching a train wreck. I think I could do better than most there but know that I will never stoop low enough to find out. Anyone who is stupid enough to put themselves on such an exhibition of humiliation and cruelty should expect to be mocked and ridiculed. I feel very poorly for the participants who honestly think that they can sing but obviously cannot. It makes me wonder how often in life when I ask for people's honest opinions do they sugar coat it in order to boost my self confidence. I am coming more and more to realize that I cannot truly believe in myself without first embracing my short comings. Sure, I can brain wash myself into believing that I look like a size 6 super model and in that way convince myself that I am attractive. But that method is merely setting me up for heart break when the truth comes knocking on the door as it is want to do. I am better off accepting my body as it is, teaching myself that I am beautiful none the less, or working towards an image that I can be more satisfied with. In short, please don't encourage your friends to sing on American Idol when they have no talent. That's just mean. Sure, it's funny to watch, but oh so mean.
