oh yes...there will be blood

So I donated blood again yesterday. Not much to it, really. I mean, I've received transfusions before when I was a kid and had to be on IVs and stuff. But the size of the needle that they put in is kind of larger, and it kind of freaks me out when they put it in. There's always the part of me that wants to ask, "How do you get into a job like this?" out of curiosity. I'm always interested in what motivates a person to get into the job field that they're in, especially if it's a job that piques my interest.

I suppose I should start asking that question more often, especially if I want to get into the career field of my choice. I always like to hear a person's story.

Like sometimes I want to know how the management at SVT (Randy, Milijana, Micki, etc.) decided they want to be in charge of running a grocery store of all things, how hard they had to work, what kinds of college classes they took, that sort of thing.

I don't really watch "American Idol"...

And I still don't. I'm not watching this season either because I still think it's rigged.

But I went to high school with one of the female contestants this season; Amy Davis. There are all of these signs of encouragement for her downtown. But after reading the comments on OhNoTheyDidnt about the female contestants last night, I don't think she's going to make it very far in the competition. A lot of people think she was a "fucking joke," which is pretty sad.

I can't really say anything about it because I didn't watch. I remember I had a couple of classes with her in high school, and she was one of those pretty popular types. She was really smart, though. But I can't really remember her standing out as a major singing talent or anything like that. Meh.

At least she's on the show and getting some sort of recognition anyway.

hey, all of you Lowell citizens!

You didn't show Amy Davis enough love! She got booted from "American Idol."

I didn't watch, but I heard she sounded terrible.





But really...."American Idol" is overstaying its 15 minutes. Maybe she's better off this way.
