The Davids

Technology is great.  EXCEPT when you're holed up in a hotel in Stamford attending a 2-day seminar on how to not piss off the Chinese at the Olympic Games and said hotel doesn't have internet access.  That's when technology not only isn't great, it's kinda moot.  I had no way to get online and write my "David vs. David" column last night after one of the best Idol finales in recent history.  To write it now, almost 19 hours after the fact, also seems kind of moot.  But I'll give it a try...

The point of this blog entry is to remind all those complainers out there (and I am first among 'em), that it does no good in this world to complain unless you actively do something about the situation you're complaining about.  That goes for everything, whether it's something that's happening at your kid's school or with your local government or at your office.  Or who you think should take home the title of American Idol.  Regardless of who you think should win (davidcookdavidcookdavidcook), your one and only job, if you do in fact vehemently think this way, is to vote.  It's why I, in the middle of a big dinner with Dick Ebersol for chrissakes, kept sneaking off into the corner to dial in my vote.  I voted as many times as I could without looking like a complete idiot in front of NBC executives.  And now I can say it's no longer in my hands.  I've done what I can do.  We'll just have to wait for the results....
