The Madness that is American Idol

I'm one of those people that watch the show when I happen to stumble upon it. It's is both entertaining and aggravating. Entertaining in the sense that you see contestants trying to reach for their dreams. They are willing to put themselves out there to be judged and sometimes ridiculed. Very aggravating to those people who take the result to seriously and, most specially, when their favorite gets eliminated. The most interesting part of the show is contestant like Sanjaya Malakar who for some reason defies fate. Relegated as the weakest contestant in the show, Sanjaya outlasts most of the other better singers and probably will be in the show for a bit longer than most of us expected. However, this aberration is what keeping the show’s high popularity. The unpredictability of the result is half of the show. In a perfect world, the singers will be voted out from the least talented until only the two most gifted remain. There is nothing wrong with that, but will that make the show more compelling. I think not. The more predictable the show becomes; the more it becomes uninteresting. There is really no reason why you should tune in and vote every week for your favorite when your favorite is not best.

Should the three at least have some choice on who gets booted among the bottom three? It’s a valid proposition, but remember the show is about the television viewers’ power to choose their "Idol." Just imagine an eventual winner who is saved from elimination because the judges think he or she should win. The possibilities are just as aggravating.

So the next time Sanjaya survives another week, don’t fuss too much about it because in the end that what makes you come back for more.

Enviromentalism is Not a Liberal Idea

I'm getting tired of the media giving ideological affinity to enviromentalism. It doesn't have any. It's our responsibility that future generation can enjoy the same natural heritage that we are enjoying now.

Environmentalism is an often forgotten Judeo-Christian tradition. It is the first covenant between man and God in the book of Genesis.

The fact that most liberal groups embrace the idea only means that enviromentalism doesn't belong to any ideological spectrum. Don't blame those "tree-huggers" for insisting on environmental protection. It is the Christian-Conservative who has forgotten the covenant.

Creativity Bottle-neck

Not much going on. I live in a small apartment, so I do all my paintings outside. I won't have anything new 'til winter passes by.

Keep checking, I'll be working on bigger canvas for my next series of paintings.
