...David Archuleta

Hi, Diary!

Dad said I should have won American Idol. Dad thinks I am a way better singer than David Cook. But I like David Cook. He was nice. He was a rocker! That's cool!

Dad took away my computer privileges when I lost American Idol. He said I shamed the family. Dad doesn't know that I have the internet on my Blackberry. Don't tell!

Dad told me that I didn't put enough effort into my songs. He also thinks that I fell apart as soon as he didn't have any input in the arrangements for the songs. He also thinks Randy is an idiot, Paula is a drunk, and Simon is an a**hole. Dad told me I should think these things, too. I think Paula is funny. Like, LOL funny, not funny in the head.

Dad yelled at me after American Idol. He told me that if I don't practice 19 hours a day, he's going to take away my ukelele. Dad doesn't know that I gave my ukelele to Paula when she was secretly admitted into the Santa Barbara Mental Health Resort for "exhaustion". She works really hard. I would be exhausted, too. I am exhausted. Dad made me stay up until 4 this morning. He said I wasn't singing "Amazing Grace" with either amazingness or grace. He wouldn't let me go to sleep until I achieved both. I cried a lot. He threw a couple lamps. It was scary.

Dad locked me in our basement recording studio and told me not to come out until I think about all the things I've done disgrace him. But I can't think of anything. I think I'm a nice guy, that's what I think! I also think that "Amazing Grace" is a stupid song. Hee hee hee!

Uh-oh. I hear him stomping down the stairs. Gotta go!

Kisses,
David
