Ok...I hated it at first but...

The final six....although Constantine was eliminated tonight.

I heard all the hype about American Idol during the show's first two seasons, but never actually watched. I know, you are probably thinking I have been living under a rock. However, I have been watching this season (due to my lack of cable) and must say that the show has definitely grown on me.

To see the contestants pour their hearts out every week, just praying that enough people vote to keep them performing the next week. This week, Constantine got the axe. I personally thought that he was better than some of the others, but the competetion is fierce. Vonzell and Carrie have amazing voices, while the guys keep getting by with their good looks.

Paula Abdul had a shocked look on her face as host Ryan Seacrest announced that Constantine was leaving the show. Many, including oddsmakers in Las Vegas, had Constantine running in second closely behind the favorite, Carrie Underwood. Carrie is far and away my favorite. She is a beautiful farm girl from Oklahoma who can hit notes like almost nobody I've ever heard.

Where are the free mp3 files?

I have been recently scouring the web to find as many free mp3 files as I could find. After numerous searches, I found some good music but was mostly disappointed. I started with going through the different record label websites to see what they were giving away for free. There were a few that were decent.

I usually use a peer to peer network for finding my mp3 files, but I need a lawsuit right now about as much as I need my nose sewn shut. If you want to see what my current Winamp playlist looks like, click here.

If you see anything that you like on the list,email me and we will see what we can do about getting a copy. Oh, and by the way, some of the file names are not properly labeled, just ask me if you have any questions.

New Chat Room Added

If you notice, there is a new chat link on this page. It is my own private chat room devoted strictly to the Full Palette community. The quality of it is not the best and there are no cool little smiling faces, but the intent is just to keep everyone who visits connected. I am very excited as to the future of the Full Palette community and think it could grow to become something useful.

I really do not want to waste blog space with musings about the new website, so from now on, just log on to www.fullpalette.bravehost.com to see how far I am coming and more information as to what will be coming in the future. (Someday, I will own the rights to www.fullpalette.com) Until then, Cheers.
