7/27: 'Dance' tour in ATL 10/22, new Diana appearance
By: Rodney Ho | July 26, 2007, 10:45PM EST

Hok isn’t there but the top 10 on Fox’s “Idol” cousin “So You Think You Can Dance” do a victory lap this fall after the “Idols Live” tour is over. Mark the date here: October 22 at the Arena at Gwinnett. Ticket sales forthcoming.

The tour is 49 cities, up from 35 last year. It sold well last year and should again.

Meanwhile, the DreamsN2Reality seminar/show August 4 at Philips Arena has added Diana DeGarmo to its lineup, which already had William Hung. That’s step up, eh? The show will feature casting directors who will give tips on how to get on reality shows and give folks a shot to be on some, including the ever-classy “Flavor of Love.”

Anyway, ticket info is here. Prices range from $50 to $115 though there are plenty of discount opportunities.

First, and formost, I am glad to be bloggin.......... Cant sleep, I need to be writing.

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on July 26, 2007 10:36PM EST
Is that our regular Shuan?

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 7:35AM EST
Is this the first time SYTYCD goes on tour? Dumb question, I know...but I never paid much attention to the show until this year.

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 7:37AM EST
Well, now I see you said the number of cities is up from last year...really was a dumb question. Read Rodney's blog more carefully, Deirdre!

Posted by: Mitch on July 27, 2007 7:44AM EST
Good morning All!

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 7:45AM EST
Shaun, you've got mail...sorry it took so long!

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 7:46AM EST
Morning, Mitch! I was just about to go get my coffee and eat some breakfast. I'll be back in a bit. Hope you and Paul are well this morning!

Posted by: Mitch on July 27, 2007 7:49AM EST
I'm up. Paul is still in bed. Glad for the long weekend

Posted by: Mitch on July 27, 2007 8:19AM EST
Mike, found out why the 13 was eliminated and didn't sell the points. Nascar does not allow points to be sold. When that happens, both parties must be listed as owner. The points for 13 going to the 78 would give Bobby Ginn 5 teams so they had no alternatives.

Also, there are conflicting reports about Kyle Bush. One has him going to Gibbs and one to Childress.

Posted by: Mitch on July 27, 2007 8:24AM EST
Sorry, my bad. It's what I get for scanning an article. RCR & DEI have supposedly been scratched of the list. Both reports are that he is going with Gibbs. The conflict is 1 has him replacing Yeley in the 18 and the second has him in a 4th team. Wow!! If this is the case, Gibbs may have to give up coaching. He is going to have his hands full with KB & Stewart.

Good morning folks It's ol skool Friday!!

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 8:48AM EST
Somebody say Ol' SKOOL?

How bout this one (in light of yesterday's blog which I am trying to forgit!) here goes....pullin it outta my 60's stack.




Sometimes I'm right and I can be wrong
My own beliefs are in my song
The butcher, the banker, the drummer and then
Makes no difference what group I'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a blue one who can't accept the green one
For living with a fat one trying to be a skinny one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha - we got to live together
I am no better and neither are you
We are the same whatever we do
You love me you hate me you know me and then
You can't figure out the bag l'm in
I am everyday people, yeah yeah
There is a long hair that doesn't like the short hair
For bein' such a rich one that will not help the poor one
And different strokes for different folks
And so on and so on and scooby dooby doo-bee
Oh sha sha-we got to live together
There is a yellow one that won't accept the black one
That won't accept the red one that won't accept the white one
And different strokes for different folks


Posted by: kochany on July 27, 2007 8:55AM EST
Rock 'n' roll, RC -- now how about some Prince??

I just cant believe all the things people say -- controversy
Am I black or white? am I straight or gay? -- controversy
Do I believe in god? do I believe in me? -- controversy
Controversy controversy
I cant understand human curiosity -- controversy
Was it good for you? was I what you wanted me to be? -- controversy
Do you get high? does your daddy cry? -- controversy
Controversy controversy

Do I believe in god? do I believe in me?
Some people wanna die so they can be free
(I said) life is just a game, were all just the same...do you wanna play?
Controversy controversy controversy
Controversy controversy controversy

Listen
People call me rude, I wish we were all nude
I wish there was no black and white, I wish there were no rules
(repeat 3 times)
Controversy controversy

Do I believe in god? do I believe in me? let me tell ya...
Some people wanna die so they can be free
(I said) life is just a game, were all just the same...dont ya wanna play?
Controversy controversy controversy controversy

Posted by: kochany on July 27, 2007 8:56AM EST
Hey, it was either that song or "Darling Nikki" -- and I figured I'd get kicked off the blog for Nikki!

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 8:58AM EST
kick it kochany!! :-)

RC

Posted by: Eve07 on July 27, 2007 8:59AM EST
Morning all,

RC what was the name of your song???????
Kochany, Controversy was a great choice, plus I love me some Prince.

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:00AM EST
lol, RC and kochany. On my honor, I will try to behave myself today!

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:01AM EST
Eve...the song was called Different Strokes.

I'll be sharing the computer today with hubby so it will be on again off again for me.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:03AM EST
Morning, folks! How's everyone doing this wonderful Friday morning? It's great for me because I am taking Monday and Tuesday next week off! My first "vacation" in over a year.

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:04AM EST
Eve, did you read that Usher's finance has a little past.

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:05AM EST
sorry Eve07...the title is Everyday People, a song by Sly and the Family Stone way back when!! I recently listened to it again on YouTube.....

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:07AM EST
IdolLVR,

Hope you enjoy that time off.....I need some too, can you call my boss?

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:08AM EST
Sorry RC...little lights are going out in my head...I thought it was Different Strokes.

Morning Idol and Shay.

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:08AM EST
nah D we wouldn't know what to do if you behaved!

Here's my 'Ol Skool' dedication to the Blawgpound today for all the turmoil and controversy of this past week:

People all over the world (everybody)
Join hands (join)
Start a love train, love train
People all over the world (all the world, now)
Join hands (love ride)
Start a love train (love ride), love train
The next stop that we make will be England
Tell all the folks in Russia, and China, too
Don't you know that it's time to get on board
And let this train keep on riding, riding on through
Well, well
People all over the world (you don't need no money)
Join hands (come on)
Start a love train, love train (don't need no ticket, come on)
People all over the world ( ride this train)(Ride this train, y'all)
Start a love train (Come on, train), love train
All of you brothers over in Africa
Tell all the folks in Egypt, and Israel, too
Please don't miss this train at the station
'Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you
Well
People all over the world (Sisters and brothers)
Join hands (join, come on)

Thanks, RC! Plan to spend it with my daughter, whom I just got back from her Summer visit with her father...

My old skool contribution:

The mountain is high, the valley is low,
And you're confused 'bout which to go,
So I flew in to give you a hand,
And lead you into, the promised land.

Chorus:

Come on and take a free ride,
free ride,
Come on and take it by my side,
Come on and take a free ride!

All over the country, I'm seeing the same,
Nobody's winning, at this type of game,
We gotta do better, it's time to begin,
You know all the answers
Must come from within.

Chorus

Solos

Stop bridge

Chorus

Come on and take a free ride yea, yea, yea, yea......


Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:10AM EST
You'd all be a lot more peaceful, that's for sure. Just keep throwing the music at me...it mellows me out!!! :-)

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:11AM EST
Morning, D.

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:12AM EST
Morning D and the others. I forgot I hadn't officially said good morning.

Posted by: linnykat on July 27, 2007 9:15AM EST
REposting from other blog, i forgot where i was...

Morning 'pounders

Thanks LVR.... i watched and guessed about half way thru that it would be Jamie and Kameron...neither seemed to totally connect with audiences, but Kam had Lacey to "hang on to" and was kept safe every week. Jamie was, as Nygel commented, a little "flat" in the emotions...never saw, like with Sabra and Lauren and Lacey and Sarah, a REAL spark in her eyes... so i really wasn't surprised with that group of 5 to see Jamie be #5...

for the guys, i really wasn't sure who would be left in the bottom 2, but it felt right that it was Dom and Kam, and right that Kam should be leaving

did you notice at the end of the show when the other 8 came back on stage, lacey ran straight to kam to hug.... while the other 3 girls surrounded jamie...and the guys just sort of milled around (because they couldn't get to kam, i guess LOL!)

interesting...i felt that there was a real connection with kam and lacey from night one of the pairings...

later, work's going to be heavy today because i'm off all next week...have to make sure everything is ship-shape!

see ya later

and...

peace?

Posted by: Eve07 on July 27, 2007 9:19AM EST
Hey Shay I did hear about Usher's lady. I hope he knows what he's doing.

Hey IdolLvr, enjoy your time off.

RC, I knew the words were familiar but I just couldn't think of the title.

Here's another one guys, I remember this song from when I was a little girl, my aunt used to play it all the time.

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you 'round for a long long time
I really 'membered you when you drink my wine

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I seen you walkin' down in Chinatown
I called you but you could not look around

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I bring my money to the welfare line
I see you standing in it every time

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

The color of your skin don't matter to me
As long as we can live in harmony

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I'd kinda like to be the President
so I can show you how your money's spent

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Sometimes I don't speak too bright
but yet I know what I'm talking about

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

I know you're working for the CIA
they wouldn't have you in the Mafia

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?
Why can't we be friends?

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:19AM EST
nice IdolLVR....Free Ride is one of my favs in the rock area.....hard to top that one!


Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:20AM EST
eve that's gotta be from War?

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:21AM EST
Mornin' Shay!!!

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:23AM EST
Linny, I agree with your assessment. Lacey is what kept Kameron around for so long. And of the five girls, I didn't connect as well with Jamie. I think the remaining four are fabulous and it is going to be really hard to see any of them to go.

As far as the guys go, I still think Danny and Pasha are the best. Neil has gotten better in the last two weeks (and I didn't realize how cute he was until last night). Dominic really needs to loosen up some for me though his solo was awesome (I don't know how he stayed on his head as long as he did - my neck hurt just watching him).

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on July 27, 2007 9:24AM EST
Good mawnin' er'body!! Happy Friday!

Eve & RC..yep that's War! Love 'em!!

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:25AM EST
RC, Free Ride is my all time fav's.

Thanks, Eve! I fully intend to!

Spinning another one up:

Just take those old records off the shelf
I'll sit and listen to 'em by myself
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll

Don't try to take me to a disco
You'll never even get me out on the floor
In ten minutes I'll be late for the door
I like that old time rock n' roll

Still like that old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll

Won't go to hear them play a tango
I'd rather hear some blues or funky old soul
There's only one sure way to get me to go
Start playing old time rock n' roll

Call me a relic, call me what you will
Say I'm old-fashioned, say I'm over the hill
Today's music ain't got the same soul
I like that old time rock n' roll

Still like old time rock n' roll
That kind of music just soothes the soul
I reminisce about the days of old
With that old time rock n' roll

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:26AM EST
morning RC!!

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:27AM EST
Oh yeah, Eve. I like your selection of "Why Can't We Be Friends?".

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:27AM EST

Posted by: Greg Gordy on July 27, 2007 9:27AM EST

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:27AM EST
Yeah, D, that's about the only movie I liked him in...

Posted by: Eve07 on July 27, 2007 9:28AM EST
Hey Choc, what's up gurl?

Shay, did you hear that Usher's wedding is this weekend? If he doesn't know what he's doing it's too late now!!!!!!!!!

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:28AM EST
Me, too, Idol...he's a bit strange..even before the jumping on Oprah's couch! :-)

Posted by: flat screen on July 27, 2007 9:29AM EST
HAVE A NICE DAY

Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:29AM EST
calm down D....

lol...



Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:30AM EST
Since we seem to be on a "friend" kick today, here's my contribution:

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say

Thank you for being a friend (4x)

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need any time of the day or night

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off, won't you stand up and take a bow

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

Thank you for being a friend

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

Thank you for being a friend


Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:31AM EST
When was that movie? It must be about 20 years ago. RC...I'm just reminiscing, not getting all hot and bothered! :-)

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on July 27, 2007 9:31AM EST
E-V-E!! Nothing but gas prices girl! Re: Ursh...that's a lesson he'll have to learn the hard way. You know what is like to be that age, think you know everything and mama 'nem can't tell you anything! We have to take those little bumps along the way...but this one may break his heart and hurt his wallet too!

Posted by: on July 27, 2007 9:32AM EST
Good Morning EVERYONE!!! It is friday and I am blessed.
D, I didnt get your mail. The reason may be that when i sent you a message lst night, I was on my wifes computer at home, I never blog on hers, so i dont know where your response went?!?! lol Could you resend it to me on my work email or either my blog email? Sorry......

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:32AM EST
That's one of my favorites, Idol.

Posted by: KPH on July 27, 2007 9:33AM EST
Good morning Shay, Rc, IdolLvr, Deirdre, Choc, Eve, Mitch, Kochany, Linny, Greg Gordy. I hope I didnt miss anyone. :-)

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:33AM EST
Actually 24 years. It came out in 1983.

Posted by: on July 27, 2007 9:34AM EST
And yes Choc, that was me last night.... I could not sleep for nothing last night. I feel better today though, life is good.

Posted by: Mitch on July 27, 2007 9:34AM EST
IDL, are you hiding in my apartment? First I look at "Why Can't We Be Friends" lyrics and you posted the lyrics. Golden Girls comes on and you post "Thank You For Being A Friend".

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:34AM EST
Hey KPH!

I almost typed MPH LOL!! I must be ready to zoom out of here early.

Posted by: kochany on July 27, 2007 9:34AM EST
Morning KPH!!!

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:34AM EST
I thought I sent it on the blog mail this morning! That's really weird, Shaun. I'll try again.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:35AM EST
Morning, KPH.

D, it is also one of my fav's. I seem to have a lot of fav's... :D

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:37AM EST
No, Mitch, unfortuately I am at work today. And I didn't post the "Why Can't We Be Friends?" lyrics - that was Eve.

Posted by: on July 27, 2007 9:37AM EST
Tom was awesome as Ethan Hunt in M.I and M.I-III. Didnt really care for M.I 2, but I did enjoy thandie Newton, that woman is fuine......

Posted by: Mitch on July 27, 2007 9:39AM EST
LOL, I have scanned 2 different things this AM and got it wrong both times... note to self: READ CAREFULLY!!!

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:41AM EST
Shaun, I guess so. I really just don't like him and his arrogant attitude. I did kinda like "Jerry Maguire" but because of him. I liked it for Renee Zellweger, Cuba Gooding, Jr., Kelly Preston and Regina King. I loved it when Kelly Preston's character hauled off and punched Tom's character in the nose and knocked him flat on his a$$.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:42AM EST
I meant to say "... Maquire" but NOT because of him. I liked..."

Posted by: Eve07 on July 27, 2007 9:43AM EST
Good Morning KPH and Shaun.
Ah, Mitch, I posted "Why Can't we Be friends" (lol).

So true Choc, but he can get over heartbreak but that dent in his wallet will hurt for years to come (lol).

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:43AM EST
Shaun...you should have it now...sometimes a reply arrives attached to the previous message....maybe that's what happened.

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on July 27, 2007 9:44AM EST
Morning KPH!

Shaun, did you manage to get any writing done since you couldn't sleep? I've had trouble the last few nights sleeping myself. But tonight I'm going to take something cause I can't continue like this.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:44AM EST
I used to really like Katie Holmes but now I'm not so sure... Just kidding... I think she's still a good actress just not so sure about her judgement... :D

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:45AM EST
Y'all know I am clueless. I didn't know the "Golden Girls" song was a real song LOL!!! And there are more than one verse.


Posted by: RC on July 27, 2007 9:45AM EST
'sup KPH??

D, that was 20 yrs ago??? Brings back another song........The Way We Were, but I think that was 30 yrs ago....lol.....

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:47AM EST
Cruise got more and more arrogant(and looney) as the years passed. He's pretty good at what he does but his character doesn't change much from one film to the next. He's basically Maverick in Top Gun no matter what role he's playing.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:48AM EST
LOL @ shay. Of course, it's a "real" song! Just like the theme for "Friends":

So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

CHORUS
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell when the world has brought you down to your knees

CHORUS

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst, I'm best with you
Yeah!

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

CHORUS

Does any one knows what his wife Katie does these days. I haven't heard he say a word since they got married. She just has that dumb smile on her face like she is in a trans or something.

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:49AM EST
IdolLVR, GTFOH!! That's a real song.

Posted by: on July 27, 2007 9:49AM EST
Idol, the scene where Kelly hits him is priceless, she was good in the small role she had. Loved Regina, not really a cuba fan. the little boy stole the movie though.... he was great.
Morning Eve. Kph, Rc, koch....

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:50AM EST
RC...The Way We Were was a loooooong time ago. That is still my favorite Robert Redford film. I thought he was very good in that one.

Posted by: on July 27, 2007 9:50AM EST

Shaun and Choc, you guys should try listening to soft music when you can't sleep. Insomnia is a form of anxiety so you have to channel your thoughts to something soothing (music) and you will drift off into la la land. I promise it worked for me.

A Friend to Me
by Garth Brooks

Well you and I
We're buddies
And we've been since we've first met

Me and you
Well we've sure been through
Our share of laughter and regret

Lord knows we've had our bad days
And more than once we've disagreed
But you've always been a friend to me

You can be so stubborn
There's times I think that you just like to fight
And I hope and pray
I live to see a day
When you say I might be right

And there's times I'd rather kill you
Than listen to your honesty
But you've always been a friend to me

You've always been
Time and again
The one to take my hand
And show me it's okay to be
Just the way I am
With no apology

Oh you've always been
And you will 'til God knows when
Yes you've always been a friend to me

How about this theme song:

Now, the world don't move to the beat of just one drum, What might be right for you, may not be right for some. A man is born, he's a man of means.
Then along come two, they got nothing but their jeans. But they got, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Everybody's got a special kind of story
Everybody finds a way to shine,
It don't matter that you got not alot
So what,
They'll have theirs, and you'll have yours, and I'll have mine.
And together we'll be fine....
Because it takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.
Yes it does.
It takes, Diff'rent Strokes to move the world.


And this one:
Look at what's happened to me,
I can't believe it myself.
Suddenly I'm up on top of the world,
It should've been somebody else.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
It's like a light of a new day-,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true-.
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.

And this one:
Show me that smile again. (Show me that smile)
Don’t waste another minute on your cryin’.
We're nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin.
Oooohhh. As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin right in our hands.
Baby you and me, we gotta be
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin’.
As long as we keep on givin’
we can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other Sharin’ the laughter and love.

Dang Choc, I swear I was going to make the exact same comment about Ms. Holmes, lol.

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on July 27, 2007 9:55AM EST
Eve, anxiety? What do I have to be anxious about? **SMH** LOL...actually that does make sense for me with this upcoming weekend...LOL

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:56AM EST
Yeah, Shaun, the little boy did steal the whole movie. He was adorable.

shay, as Choc says, Katie has turned into a Stepford Wife. She's cut her hair, hangs out with Victoria Beckham and has a new accessory called Suri.

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:56AM EST
I just think Katie and hubby are weird. And now they have weird neighbors.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:57AM EST
Anybody know what shows those theme songs came from???

Posted by: 1CHOCL8T on July 27, 2007 9:57AM EST
LOL @ Idol...that's what they're calling them now, accessories? That's a darn shame!

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:58AM EST
hint: they are all 80's shows

Posted by: Deirdre on July 27, 2007 9:58AM EST
Fresh message on the way Shaun.....please tech people...help it get there!

Posted by: shay on July 27, 2007 9:58AM EST
IdolLVR, someone else is thinking of moving close to them too. I forget who it is.

Posted by: linnykat on July 27, 2007 9:58AM EST
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind

[Now] Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky
It slips away, and all your money won't another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind, everything is dust in the wind.

Posted by: IdolLVR on July 27, 2007 9:59AM EST
Yeah, that's how it looks to me, Choc. Suri is as cute as can be, however.

The first theme song should be easy, folks! The name of the show is in the song!
