Missing

I've been feeling like I've been missing something lately, and the Sound & Music lecture we had in Intro. to Film a few weeks back helped me figure it out.  As my heart swelled with the music, which just happened to be by my favorite composer (Hans Zimmer), I suddenly realized that I really miss being involved with making music.  So, I put my name in to be in the band next semester.  For some reason, you don't have to try out for Winter semester.  It's a first come first serve type of deal.  Hopefully, I'll get in.

I need to feel the music around me again.  I need to look at the page and feel that sense of peace as I know that I'm part of it.

I need to play again.

The World's Largest Water Balloon Fight

I was there when this video was made.  ;D  It was SO much fun, and this video was very well-made.

Sweet Caroline

I love music.  I absolutely love it.  I also really love movies and TV shows.  I don't know why they are so dang entertaining to me, but they are.  It's also really easy for me to get addicted to a show.  So, take that combination, and what do you have?

GLEE!   :)

Haha.  Yes, I joined the hype.  I didn't watch it forever because I figured I'd probably get sucked into it, but the other day while procrastinating, I decided to watch the first episode.  Just the first episode.  I mean, that couldn't be bad, could it?  Just one episode.

Ha!  I was hooked.  But, not as hooked as you'd think.  I don't think, "OH MY GOSH I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EPISODE!!"  I'm not obsessed like that (shocker!).  I just really love the music.  It's fantastic!  They have a lot of talent, and do some really amazing songs.  I also like the singing-and-dancing combination.

I'm not a fan of the drama that goes on in each episode, nor am I a big fan of many of the characters.  They're either too erratic, or too stereotypical for me to really like them.  I want to like Finn, but he's just so... stupid.  Haha.  There's no other way to put it.  It really turns me off when somebody uses a big word (that's not really that complicated) and he says something like, "I have no idea what you said."  He's cute, but he doesn't have very many neurons in that brain of his.

I like Mr. Schuester, kind of.  I think he makes a lot of dumb decisions, and that's also a turn-off.  I mean, a lot of dumb decisions.  But he's very attractive, has a spectacular voice, and just radiates energy.  So I like him... sometimes.

Rachel bugs me like crazy.

Puck, though... :)  Now there's my man!  His character is totally girl crazy, lies a lot, and is very promiscuous with his sexual life, but I like him because beneath all that, he actually has a brain, and has a kind heart.  I didn't like him so much in the beginning because he was being a stereotypical football player, throwing people in the dumpster, stuff like that.  But his voice, looks, and sarcasm have won me over.  This guy plays his character so well!  There are so many layers to him, and the actor does a really good job with him.  That's why I like him.

Also, because of this scene. :)  This song has been stuck in my head since I watched this episode three days ago.  It's at the top of my list of songs to learn on the guitar as soon as I get home.  I've heard this song sung by the Jonas Brothers, Neil Diamond, Elvis, David Archuleta, and even the Red Sox fans, but none of them came even close to how amazingly Puck sings this song!  His voice makes me want to melt.  So, enjoy!  I certainly did.
