Red Velvet

Right now I am listening to one of the best new artists of the year. He may even be the best artist in the next ten years. This is the person I think I was searching for back at the beginning of January, the new music I felt excited to hear. If you are a constant watcher of American Idol then you know him. David Cook is original and so very brilliant. He brings fresh sounds to some of my favorite and not so favorite songs. From taking a Lionel Richie song and making an emo tune to last week’s amazing version of Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby.” I am falling deeper into loving music with each week and I used to hate watching American Idol. I haven’t been this excited since Kelly Clarkson was on. If you are like the cynic I once was then I believe you will be amazed and astounded when you hear him on the radio. He is going to go far whether it is as an American idol or just as new artist this year, I can’t wait to hear him. So I think I am going to see Ben Kweller this Saturday. I am really excited, for he is my artist of the month. Even more exciting is that the show costs nothing and I get to spend it with someone I love.

On an even more personal note. As deep as I am falling into music, I am falling even deeper into love. It is a feeling I know I have never felt and I don’t know if I’ll feel it again in this intensity. You only have one first love and I think I understand the importance of that fact. Love is not easy nor is it perfect. However it is something that I have found and something that makes me extremely happy. It is something people find only if they are truly ready. I decided to grow up this month, to let the past stay in the past and move towards a future with a former foe. It was a risk and I think it help show me how much I am in love with Jordan. I Love Him! If I could be brave enough to shout it on the roof tops, I would. I don’t need to be cynical anymore. I don’t care to be mean to certain people because I love the people I love and I don’t love the people I don’t love. I have been with said person I love for eight months. It seems like a long time for him, but for me it is just seconds on a clock. I got to go though. Talk to ya’ll later.
