THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

May is ending. The month of June will soon be upon us all. I ate breakfast roughly one hour and fifty-two minutes ago. I'm now in the Medina County District Library typing away on the internet. I'm on my way to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Life is good in Cleveland, Ohio. I'm glad that I relocated to this city. It's been a while since I've been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum. There's lots of fun stuff to do in Cleveland, Ohio. Not right now because I have college tuition loans to pay off. But certainly for a later date.

Lee Dewyze wins American Idol Season 9!

Lee DeWyze defeated Crystal Bowersox in the finals of season 9 of "American Idol" Wednesday night as aired on Fox TV.

DeWyze, 24, was the one chosen by "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell to win the competition.

DeWyze was working at a paint shop in Chicago and followed his dream to be a professional singer when he joined the Fox TV singing competition.

Bowersox and DeWyze were the last two people who made it to the finals out of almost 100,000 people who joined the audition last summer.

The two-hour finale of the show included performances of American artists Cristina Aguilera, Bret Michaels and Janet Jackson.

Before the announcement of the winner, former judge Paula Abdul appeared and led the send-off for feisty judge Cowell.

Cowell was leaving "American Idol" to host his own show "The X-Factor" next year.

Until now, there's no official announcement from "American Idol" production on who will replace Cowell.

THE ADVENTURES OF STEVEN POST HITCHCOCK IN CLEVELAND, OHIO

It's getting colder instead of warmer. The cold weather isn't winter level, but it's kind of close to it. I'm not sure it's supposed to be this cold this close to June. However, I'm sure the cold weather is bound to be temporary. It's a wonderful day. I'm in good spirits. I stopped by the Medina County District Library nearby Center Road on my way to work at Mr. Hero Restaurant. I'm going to earn my minimum wage salery today.

APRIL SHOWS BRINGS MAY FLOWERS---AT LEAST, THAT'S THE THEORY

I've been resident of Cleveland, Ohio for the past one year and two months. It's amazing how quickly time flies. I'm only starting to pay off my college tuition debts. Yes, it took close to a year before I was financially stable enough to do so. It will feel good when the college tuition debt that I owe Ohio State University and Franklin University is finally cleared away. It would also feel good when I'm able to resume my college classes, but that's another issue for another day.

MAYBE IT WILL RAIN, MAYBE IT WON'T RAIN. WE REALLY DON'T KNOW FOR CERTAIN

The weather reports states that there might be the chance for multiple thunderstorms today. Yes, the sky is cloudy. Yes, it's normally cold before a thunderstorm and cold weather is upon us. However, there isn't a drop of water falling from the skies. It could go either way folks. At any case, I'm surfing the internet in the public library. I'm feeling calm and relaxed. I'm in good spirits. I got the rear tire on my bicycle fixed. I'm working minimum wage at Mr. Hero Restaurant. Life is good.
