Floored.

I've heard for days now, all of this apparent "fuss" over Susan Boyle and her performance on Britain's Got Talent.  I'm not at all a fan of these sorts of shows, so I ignored every possible news story and moved on, it was the same thing each season, right? 

Wrong.

Finally today I succumbed to the madness, clicked on a link, and was absolutely stunned.  The voice of an angel came out of a plainly dressed, ordinary 47 year old woman from Scotland, who lives alone with her cat, Pebbles.

I've been meaning to update this page for a good while now, but time and having nothing notable to say have held me back.  Today I found something so much more amazing than any little "ditty" I could type up and throw out.

Thank you, Susan Boyle, as it was mentioned by Amanda Holden, the female judge on Britain's Got Talent, it WAS (and still IS, as I've watched this video over and over now) "a complete privilege" to hear you sing this song.

Not so plain now, is she?  Not so laughable, huh?  I hope she's made you think twice, all of you who laughed when she walked out.  Shame on you all.  That woman is more a star, more a hero, more an inspiration than any of you lot.

Follow this link to see the entire video.  Incredible.  I'm so glad you're alive and in this world, Susan Boyle.
