Simon Cowell can SUCK IT!

While in Palm Springs, I'm staying with my oldest and closest friend, Dan. We've been friends since we were 5. We grew up on the same street and have been basically brothers our whole lives. So it's been great to get some time to hang out. It's been almost 1 year since I've been here, so it was overdue.


When we're together we always want to be silly. It's a good thing. Dan is a game-ophile so he's got every gaming system under the sun. We were feeling the need to sing, so he put in American Idol Karaoke and we spent 2 hours singing. We sang easy songs but had the most fun singing the harder ones. What's a hard song, you ask? Bohemian Rhapsody. We laughed our asses off when we got to the "I'm a just little silhouette of a man. Scaramouch! Scaramouch! Will you do the fandango!"


We pulled out our highest, and screechiest, falsetto voices and i started tip-toe dancing around the living room as if I was a "little silhouette of a man" and then we started busting up. Super good time.
We ended up singing like 15 songs. But, one stood out as our favorite. When we were 16, we used to drive around in Dan's red Mazda RX-7 and blast "Come Sail Away" by Styx and sing it at the TOP of our lungs. So imagine our delight that this song was in the game. We warmed up with some other songs to get ready but after our throats were warmed up - we busted out "Come Sail Away". Perfect.
Good to know that no matter how old we get -we can still be the silly kids we were - whenever we get together. I guess that's part of the magic of why we're still friends - still brothers.
