San Antonio - Betty Owen who cant walk and is on a feeding tube, had an ambulance bring her to her voting station yesterday so that she could cast her vote!

That spells determination!

too bad McCain lost and her trip was wasted!

It seems every other day I hear about the next addition of High School Musical coming out. I cant beleive this became such a smashing success, but in retrospect I recall the overwhelming success of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Care Bears.

So Oh Well, it looks like Highschool Musical is gonna be around a while, and we may see 10 movies all together, Kinda like Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elmstreet, only this is filled with happiness and joy!

You gotta check this out! Now I love Youtube. I especially love the cute kitty videos they have on that site. But this one tops them all! This is one sneaky little guy who moves without beeing seen creeping closer and closer to the camera. He sure is a cute kitty, but this is a little scary. Check this out!!!!!

So of course they start is with an un-realistic event, Derek (McCreamy) dies on the table after being struck by a bus. Of course it's all another dream that Grey is having. (personlly they need to drop these two from the script) I know they were the starting point of it all, but they are no longer the interesting pair, they are boring and nobody gives a crap about them anymore. NOW on the other hand, Who are the top two new potential dating couples on the show???

THE LESBIANS, that is Dr. Torres and Dr. Hahn, who have admitted to each other that dating is definately on the table.

and the hopes that Grey's Younger sister (the hot one) will tell George (the gay actor) that she's in love with him.

then you got YANG who gets head over heals for an army surgeon who's bouncing around the hospital doing surgical procedures on patients which is just so ridiculous, and of course nobody stops him, and of course the unbelievable occurs when yang is stabbed in the stomach with an Icicle that falls off the roof, but Wonder Army man pulls it out. So really the show is starting out like it always did, 10 people 5 of which act like whores all the time and 5 have their head of their ass and the rest are patients and they either die or bitch about the cruddy service they get because all these people do is complain and moan about how their boyfriends dumped them or how they got drunk and slept with the wrong person.

This is life

Well, Clay Aiken has finally admitted to something we all knew very well about.....he is gay! The 30-year-old American Idol runner-upper whose eyelashes are longer than mine admitted in the upcoming issue of People Magazine that he prefers boys. I don't mean to diss him. At least the guy said since he became a daddy through surrogecy, he will not raise his child with a lie. Well, I think the kid would have figured it out anyway when he realizes Mommy is actually Daddy! Still I wish him nothing but the best in life. So I put in a song he sang to his "buttercup" at American Idol. Bet ya a hundred dollars it was to Seacrest! And I bet ya a hundred more Seacrest was smitten!
