I had a bad day at work. We all have our own bad days at work, when bosses are extra demanding or clients too fickle, when deadlines are looming and deliverables seem impossible, when meetings are heavy and the pressure is palpable.

                    [Summary] => 





As most viewers of the show surely remember, the goodbye theme during the last season of American Idol (AI) was Bad Day and thanks to that massive exposure, it became a huge hit for Daniel Powter. This time around the song that kicks out the lowest voted contestant every week is Home and it comes from the hit album by Daughtry. The band’s name Daughtry comes from leader Chris Daughtry and Chris is a guy who knows first hand what being booted out of Idol feels like.

The Conference Board of Canada ended recently and confirmed that British Columbia’s economy will expand by a healthy 3.2 percent in 2007. Vancouver will remain the country’s third-fastest-growing city while Abbotsford and Victoria will slow down among the 20 Canadian cities surveyed by the Board. Also growing with British Columbia are Calgary and Edmonton.

                    [Summary] => 



2006 was a great year for Beyoncé. A lot of good things happened to the famous Destiny’s Child that prepared her for a long stay at the top in the future. The beautiful Beyoncé not only turned 25 with a new hit album B-day, she also starred in the movie version of the Broadway musical Dreamgirls, which has been getting excellent reviews and has a romantic relationship with hip-hop star Jay-Z that is going strong. Some girls do get everything.

                    [Summary] => The Red Hot Chili Peppers is composed of Anthony Kiedis on vocals, John Frusciante on guitar, Flea on bass and Chad Smith on drums. The group dates back to over a decade ago and is best known for Californication, which presented the dark side of the Sunshine State. A punked up, funked up compelling work, the album had memorable cuts like Parallel Universe, Scar Tissue and Easily and was an explosion of raw rocking energy that made the Red Hot Chili Peppers one of the greatest bands in music history.

                    [Summary] => With only four finalists in the running, the fifth season of American Idol has reached what is probably its most suspenseful week ever. The pace of the reality show has been pretty much predictable up to this point. Audiences knew fairly well who deserved to go during the past weeks. But not anymore. I tell you that having to choose whom to send packing from among Katharine McPhee, Taylor Hicks, Chris Daughtry and Elliot Yamin is a very difficult task.

                    [Summary] => Franz Ferdinand, the multi-awarded, multi-nominated and also tremendously commercial debut album, came out nearly two years ago. It sounds very cliché but the young band’s music was like a breath of fresh air that brought on smiles and lots of involuntary foot-tapping. Very well done.

We trip over steps and look like complete morons in front of seemingly countless people. (Or worse, we could fall flat on our faces in front of just one particularly important person. Say, a crush or a rival.) We sleep through our alarm clocks’ screeching and miss classes or are late for work. Yes, we all have brief spells of disaster sometimes. Embarrassing, but brief.
