TGP - Don't Stop Believin'

The Glee Project ended with a big surprise! First off I just want to say that this reality show was incredible; I'm not being biased because I'm a gleek. This reality competition show went above & beyond and was truly original.

I salute the creators, directors, producers, engineers, crew, and all involved in the making of THE GLEE PROJECT!

GLEE-ality. It was great seeing the whole cast in the season finale. Nerd alert spoiler because I saw the RAISE YOUR GLASS video before the episode. Finally they got to sing Don't Stop Believin' - the signature glee song. Once Ryan Murphy brought out the rest of the contestants to help out with the song, there was a whole energy change in the room. It was an amazingly fun performance. It was also great to see Ryan smile! It made me smile.

It really was a hard decision to make. I felt that all of them should have been on glee, even if it was for one episode, in the background or whatever. Not just the final four but all 12 should at least get a cameo. The final four: Alex, Damian, Lindsay, & Samuel are all so talented and their last chance performances were amazing. I guess the decision was difficult for Ryan as well because there were 2 winners: Samuel Larsen & Damian McGinty both won 7 episodes on glee! If that wasn't enough of a shocking surprise, they also gave runners-up Alex Newell & Lindsay Pearce each 2 episodes on glee. Congratulations!!! RAISE YOUR GLASS to all winners in THE GLEE PROJECT!

Congratulations to the 12 contestants that made it onto the show. Unfortunately you did not win a role on glee but you won out of thousands to get this opportunity. I wish you luck in the future and hope your dreams come true.

DON'T STOP BELIEVIN'

I'm Thankful

Here is an old photo of me with my Mother (RIP) and Father from the early 80s. I think this was actually the only time, in my life, that I was smaller than the turkey. This was the first time I didn't have to work on Thanksgiving. Sure I'm going to miss my double time and a half pay, but it was good just staying home, having dinner and relaxing. I'm thankful for having a loving family, a roof over my head, a job, my health, and good friends.

Concerts I've Seen

Ok, so I recently was "tagged" in a note on facebook and decided to take the challenge. You were supposed to list 50 artists you've seen and list the first concert you attended. I got a little too into it that I ended up listing all performances I've seen. So, below is a list of artists that I've seen so far.

BOLD = more than once & ITALIC = friend’s music

**The first concert I saw was a summer pop festival at Magic Mountain with The Jets, Dino & Stevie B. Over a decade later, I found out that Michelle was at that same concert! See, we were destined to be friends =).
