Here was a photo I designed for a thread in the Back Stage forum. Don't it make ya want to climb Mount Daughtry? Josh Paul wasn't in the original picture I pulled their faces from. I need to figure out a way to get Josh Paul in here. Wouldn't it be funny if I could make him walk across the top of the mountain doing the bobbin' thing he does on stage. I will poke around some graphics programs and see if I can figure out how to do that.

I have been working on a new angle as well. This would make the interview more entertaining and challenging to Chris. He could do a "themed" interview where he tries to work words into the interview pertaining to a given theme. Let's say for example "Things you might find in or are related to a kitchen".

Interviewer: So Chris, what kind of people come to a Daughtry show?
Chris: You know, just the other night I was PAN ning the crowd and EYEd a really old lady. Man, this ladies's TIMER was just about to go off. I had a SINKing feeling she was way past her EXPIRATION DATE. However, I was so honored to have her there. I knew I had to recognize her, so I reached and picked up my CUP of beer, but when I turned around to TOASTER, she was gone. Then I saw that she was making her way to the stage. I was thinking to myself, what SKILLET takes for a lady of that age to fight through this crowd to get up here to me and I certainly hoped she wouldn't STRAINER self. When she got to the stage she said to me, "I am a really big FAN. I have really enjoyed the show and hope to get to come to another one real SPOON." I knew she meant "soon", but out of respect, I didn't correct her. She went on to say that she had always felt that music was the SPICE of KNIFE. Again, I knew she meant life, but after I smelt the POT, I totally understood that years of hard partying had FRIED her brain.

I could go on and on, but I think yall get the concept.

I had so much fun with my blog yesterday, I just had to do it again! I hope you all get a kick out of this one:

I speak fluent smart-ass. My mama speaks it. My daddy speaks it. My husband speaks it too, but he grew up a little further south in our county, so his is a slightly different dialect. Both his parents are fluent as well. And, I am very proud to say, we are raising both our boys to speak smart-ass. You know, you have to arm your children with everything you possibly can to help them succeed in this crazy world. So, I thought I would use some of my mastery of this language to help Chris get through another interview like the one recently with Rolling Stone.

This is response to all the hoop-la around Chris saying that American Idol is in a state of declinel:

I don't "blog" very much, but I think it is all about throwing your feelings out there for the world to "judge", so here it goes!

I began watching American Idol during Season 2. Up until Season 5, I would describe myself as somebody who liked the show, but if I happened to have missed it, no big deal.

Last week I kinda had a panic moment when I realized that the opportunities to see Daughtry close to home in a small venue were quickly passing by. So I asked myself, what is stopping me from buying tickets to the Columbia show and going to see these amazing guys one more time. And the answer I got: Notta. I enlisted two other diehard Daughtry fans and we made it happen. This was my third show. Each time I have seen them has not just been a concert, it has been a full fledged "Daughtry Experience". The feeling of excitement driving to the show, checking out the venue early in the day, seeing the band's buses, talking to members of Daughtry's crew, meeting other fans in line, etc. have made for great memories. Oh yeah, and discovering the girls and I like pineapple juice/vodka/splash of tonic enough to name it after our favorite band (guess who?) We proclaimed ourselves the "GA Girls" and called our outing the S.O.H.F. Roadtrip 2007. But to protect the innocent, I really can't share the meaning of the later.
