a girl

So, I am supposed to write something about a girl tonight.... I had been thinking about a topic for quite some time, (the housing crisis, of course!) but I am going to change midstream. Keep in mind, this is not my will....but has been imposed upon me with force. Well, I decided to pull a once-over, and change the object of my exposition. :D
I saw a Salvadorian girl on tv who caught my eye. A very special girl. So, as much as I hate American Idol, and the negative impacts it has had on our culture..... I am stating my official prophecy today that Allison Iraheta will win. Or at least she had better. I was burned with Paris a few seasons back, but I have a new found confidence with this one. It all became clear when Paula asked her what her age really was. I could do nothing, and did not try, to keep an image of Viva a Brotolândia from floating around my mind when she replied "16". (That is the same age that Elis was when she recorded 'Broto', for those of you ignorant of such an important thing!)
So that's it. The girl of the evening calls herself Allison. She is classy, sings amazingly, and has a future.




And so that you don't think that I left you out, I wrote all of this for YOUR benefit! ( and you know who you are!)
