American Idol has lost one of their judges.  As the show is swinging into it’s 9th season something will be missing.  No it will not be Simon Cowell and his obnoxious comments.  No it will not be the auditions where people chose to get up and sing their hearts out even though they have no talent.  It will be Paula Abdul.

On Tuesday Aug. 4, 2009 Paula Abdul said that she will no longer be a judge on the show.  I think that over the years Paula Abdul has grow tired of the gig.  After 8 seasons she is ready to head back out into the world and bring us mew and better things.  I remember loving her as a tween.  She was my Hanna Montana.  The music videos were great and her dancing was awesome.

Paula chose to leave in an odd way though.  She twittered about it!  I guess that it shows that twitter is gaining more and more popularity!  I wish the millions of people who follow Paula Abdul also followed me.  Perhaps all I need is a singing career, the ability to dance like a star and to be a judge on American Idol first!

Paula your fans cannot wit to see what is ahead for you!

The Facebook Facts

Last week I took the plunge.  I joined www.facebook.com just like everyone around had said I should do.  The first day I was hooked.  I found “friends” that I have not talked to in years.  I found people just wanting to be nosy and people I do not even know trying to be my friend.  Perhaps I did know them at one point but my mommy mind has blocked them out.  I found that I was popular for the first time ever.  People wanted to be my “friend”.  I chatted a lot and I explored.  Now it has been a week and the hype has died down a bit.

Do not get me wrong.  It was great catching up with people who I have not talked to in 10 years.  They are all starting to have babies now and are telling of their wonderful jobs.  A part of me has become jealous.  I opted to stay home with my kids and never had a career out of college.  These are people that I “lost touch with”.   The question remains did we loose touch or loose interest?

I have a friend who always has told me that at some point you outgrow certain friends.  Your paths move differently.  It can be a slow process or it can be as fast as graduating from college.  Either way those friendships are lost forever.  With this in mind I have now entered a whole world of these friends whom I have “out grown”.  I honestly do not care to remember many of the stupid things we did and did not even like some of them when I was their “friend”.  I know that we are all having the same thoughts but no one is willing to admit it.

So the question becomes can we grow back into a friend?  These people who we had less and less in common with have changed as have I.  So do we see if we are back at similar points in life or do we sit and have a few memories and move on from it?  This is the Facebook question that it perplexing to me.  I am not sure of the answer.

So for now I am talking to people whom I had forgotten about, people that I have wondered about and people I had no use for 10 years ago.  I think that it will all be quite interesting in the end to see if anything comes of any of it.
