All Things Happen For A Reason

"All things happen for a reason."

But I still ask why they happen the way that they do. I am pretty sure that I always have.

We need a positive change of events in our life right now. I am going to try not to whine or be too down in this post or dwell on those feelings, but lately, that has been hard not to fall into feeling that way.

When I come home from work, there is always things to be done around home and I can only go so long letting the dishes pile up, the dust accumulate and the clutter take over my house before I want to go crazy. I think that is a sure cause of anxiety in my life - clutter and general messy-house syndrome. That is part of the reason that I like the fact that we have a town house right now and nothing bigger for me to clean and take care of.

Sidebar - A word to all single ladies out there - add one of the "most desirable qualities" on your ideal man list - that he helps clean the house. No matter how many times I ask mine to help out cleaning or picking things up more often, guys are pretty much immune to any type of clutter accumulation or dust or anything mess-related in the house! If your man already does clean and pick up, consider yourselves very lucky! On a side note, there are a few times now and then where Derick has started a load of laundry or has vacuumed or something, and for those times, you praise them like they are three years old and they just used the potty for the first time. Seriously, it is a pretty huge deal. For both of you.

Anywho, onto a happier subject!

Last night was the premiere of The Voice. I was curious as to how the show was going to play out and what exactly it was going to entail. I stopped watching Glee at 8pm and switched over to The Voice. I am not sorry I did. The show was amazing. I love the premise of the show. Judges do not get to see the contestants, but must judge them first, by their voice alone. If the judge thinks that individual has talent, they push a button on their modified gaming chair and it spins around so they can see the contestant singing their heart out. If more than one judge spins their chair, the contestant gets to decide which judge they want as their mentor. Otherwise, if only one judge spins around, that judge keeps the contestant. Last night I think there were three individuals who did not get picked at all. I think there should have been about one or two more who should not have gotten chosen, but clearly, I am not in the music business, so what do I know?!

I am already looking forward to next week when local music talent, Tim Mahoney will be auditioning for a position! I first heard about Tim Mahoney while up at BSU. He came and performed a couple times at the dorms and at the student union. I really liked his sound and his music. So, we'll see what happens with him on the show!!
