spend money fast as lightning, anything just to keep her smiling.

first things first, don't get it twisted; i don't watch american idol [however,
i think we can all agree on this being the best movie of 2003].
anyways. i was watching ellen the other day and this kid that got
kicked off after two weeks was on performing his song.
at first, of course, i was intrigued by his physical beauty, but once
the song was over & ellen presented him with $8,000 worth of music gear +
studio time, i became intrigued with his story.

josiah leming hails from tennessee, where at the age of 17 moved out
of his parents' house to tour & live out of his car, trying to make a name
for himself in the south.

this year, he tried out for american idol, made it past the initial audition,
&lasted two weeks after that, before being kicked off because he fumbled on
a solo.

that only gave him the recognition that i feel that he deserves. 1,352,359
views on his myspace page since his stint on AI, interviews with MTV News,
pre-producing an album... the list is just beginning to grow, i'm sure.
