I love singing but the thing is.. I’m horrible! It has gotten to the point where if I start signing, my family begs me to stop. But music is awesome and it’s the one of the few things that everyone loves. It doesn’t matter weather you like classical, rap, or pop because all music is great. I might be bad a singing but a thing I am good at it, dancing! It is another thing that everyone loves (even if they don’t admit it)! Dancing can be ballet or even that crazy jump you do when you get an A on a really hard test. Dance and music are two things that connect everyone because they are universal in all cultures and languages. Singing and dancing symbolize happiness and fun!

Now if only there was a show that combined these two… oh wait, there is! And this awesome show is called GLEE! And that is why we now have a UMass Lowell Glee Club. A ton of UMass Lowell student LOVE Glee and got a club started for all of you to join! Its exciting because it’s a chance for all you Glee lovers and Gleeks together and do what you love. But Glee isn’t just about singing and dancing. The Glee Club needs actors/actresses, choreographers, band members, and an assistant music director. There are so many thing you can do to be a part of this great club.

Questions, Comments, Concerns, Conumdrums?! Check out the club page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/home.php?sk=group_165792160122048 or email them at UMLglee@gmail.com!

And for all of you who have never seen a Glee episode: check it out! Here are some clip of the Show:
Umbrellas!
Hey Soul Sister
Forget you

Future Gleek,

Feel as if the semester has already started to get to you? Is the homework and projects just piling on little by little? SPREAD THE WEALTH AROUND. If you have a lot of things to do, get started working on them RIGHT away. That way you won’t have to stay up all night and do it all at once. Think about it like a large meal. If you try and tackle that all at once, not only will you not finish all of the food in front of you, you also will explode. Figuratively and POSSIBLY literally. Take things bit by bit to make things more manageable!

Cheers,

James

REJECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever wonder what happens to some people who audition for american idol? Have you ever had a friend who has auditioned for American Idol or know someone? Well it’s a long process and many auditions before you actually get to see Jennfier Lopez, Steven Tyler and Randy Jackson. Did you know?

Hillary Scott from Lady Antebellum didn’t even make it past the preliminary auditions, meaning she never even saw Simon Cowell, now look at her, she has won 5 grammys for record and song of the year.

Amber Riley  also didn’t make it past producers and interns. Now she is on the Hit T.V show Glee

Colbie Caillat tried out not only once but 2 and still didn’t make it. She has won 2 grammys.

The point is you should try for anything because you never know what might just happen. Look at all the stars who didn’t even win American Idol and how famous they are: Daughtry, Kelly Pickler, Jennifer Hudson, Clay Akien, David Ararchuleta, and Adam Lambert!

Happy Birthday! Now Go Rescue Zelda!

Posted on by

Hello all fellow nerds who might be reading this.  Today is the 25th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda series. And if you loved these games as much as I do, I’m sure you remember playing them like yesterday.

Perhaps you recall racing that annoying countdown clock to beat a dungeon, or going through hours and hours of side quests just to collect all of the masks in: The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask

Or maybe you remember risking your Gameboy by bringing it to school and hiding from the teachers while you played Link’s Awakening with a group of friends around you watching in awe.

 Maybe you didn’t know about Link and his adventures until the Wii came out? Well that is perfectly fine because Twilight Princess was amazing!

Perhaps he was your favorite character in Super Smash Bros?

No matter which one is your favorite, whenever you played a zelda game you were guaranteed one thing: Hours upon hours upon hours of mindless questing, weapons, trading for a crazy stupid strong sword, and kicking chickens only to have them all gang up on you and kill you.

Seriously… Don’t hurt the chickens… they are vengeful creatures.

So go enjoy today, maybe dust off some of your old zelda games, and have a great fun-filled EXCITING ADVENTURE THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY BEATEN SEVERAL TIMES.

Cheers,

~James (will be playing N64 all night)

CRAZY WEATHER!

Posted on by

Are any of you guys getting really sick of this weather?! I AM! 

I don’t know about you, but I personally hate getting really excited for spring because it’s warm one day and then being sad because the next day it’s FREEZING out! 

Today
Feb 24		 Partly Cloudy 41°/32° 20 %
Fri
Feb 25		 Rain / Snow 44°/21° 100 %
Sat
Feb 26		 Mostly Cloudy 29°/20° 0 %
Sun
Feb 27		 Snow Shower 33°/26° 40 %
Mon
Feb 28		 Rain / Snow 45°/31° 70 %
Tue
Mar 01		 Rain / Snow Showers 38°/22° 30 %

Just look at this weather! One day the high is 44 and the next only 29. Not to mention, it’s going to snow again! But I guess that’s New England for you. Hopefully, after I complete the 5 year masters program here, I can move some place warm and tropical! 🙂


And, hopefully it won’t get to this…again.













Remember, just think warm thoughts!

DO NOT READ!!

Ha if you are reading this you just experienced reversed psychology. Ever try and guilt your friends into doing something that they don’t want to do, by using reverse psychology? Well it happened to me last night.I was trying to convince my friend that we should go and see the Justin Bieber movie. I know why would you want to see some 15 year old kid who looks like a girl. I have no idea. Anyways I pulled the oldest trick in the book: REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY!!!!!!!! Yep that’s right, did it work of course not, he’s a guy what guy would want to see the Justin Bieber movie. BUT it can come in handy in some situations:

Anyways, you can use it in everyday life. Trying to get your room mate to clean there room, or take a shower. Convince your professor that you deserve a better grade (don’t know how that works but…..you can try.
