I moved out of my apartment yesterday, and am going to pick my mommy up from the airport later on today. It’s coming down to the wire now, folks. In less than 24 hours I’ll finally be able to put one of those nice “USC Alumni” license plate things on my car.

It leads me to think about my high school graduation, and how little I cared about it.

I really hated high school and everyone in it…thus, I viewed my high school commencement as more like the government’s way of preventing me from finally attaining freedom.

It’s different now. I don’t hate anyone in my graduating class (I just find some individuals to be great wastes of skin), and I’m actually sad to leave.

But you know what’s pathetic? I graduated from high school four years ago, and I’m graduating from college tomorrow—but there are people in my class of 2000 who haven’t even started college, and probably never will under the pretenses: “I’m starting my own business, bra”; “I got stuff to do, bra”; “I’m legally retarded, bra.”

…

I am really disappointed in American Idol, and will no longer watch it. It was entertaining during the auditions, and somewhat entertaining after the really crappy people finally got voted off—but now it’s starting to get really lame. I have only watched 4 episodes from this season (that’s a lot for me), and I’m really starting to believe 2 things:

1. Americans do not like talent.

2. The residents of Hawaii are the only people who actually vote.

I’m sorry, but Jasmine Trias sucks. I don’t say this because I hate Hawaii, and I don’t think I can do better…what I am doing is comparing her to other singers and she is not as good as they are. Latoya London should have won this year, but I don’t know what the fuck happened that caused her to be voted off. I guess it’s because people like warbly, pitchy voices? Or maybe there is a growing fanbase for people who like to wear flowers behind their ears?

I think the eventual downfall of American Idol is that the actual winners won’t be able to compete in the real music industry because they were chosen based on popularity and not on their abilities. Thus, when they finally do come out with albums, they won’t be successful because their staying power is now based on how well they compete with bonafide recording artists rather than fellow contestants. And the show’s credibility for being able to find American’s hidden talents will start declining as crappier people win.
