you stole my soul and that's a pain i can do without

"you stole my soul and that's a pain i can do without".  words made famous by rod stewart in his classic 'maggie mae'.  of course paul mcdonald didn't really steal my soul, but he did get my vote on american idol, lots of my votes.  his rendition of the famous 'maggie mae' slayed me.  it was one of the coolest songs i've seen performed on american idol.  the big bummer?  he got voted off last night, which i do. not. understand.  boo and hiss. 

last night's gotcha performance was wild and crazy and included fence jumping, running, screaming, pushing.  jake's friend, mike brown, even took a bullet (spray bottle to the face) for jake.  it ended with jake safely tucked into our house.  stay tuned for the next chapter. 

evan called to say hi tonight and while i was talking to him it occurred to me that for the next two years i'm going to wish a million times that he could call just to say hi.  i guess it's a luxury i've been taking for granted.
