 An R. Kelly Review, "Trapped in the Closet"4/16/2013 |
Recently I sat down and took the time to watch all 22 episodes of R. Kelly’s “Trapped in the Closet”. And let me tell you, this was not a waste of time. This drama takes up to an hour and half to watch, and gives you everything and anything you could hope from R. Kelly including: a plethora of people cheating on each other, two bombshell confessions of coming out of the closet, drugs, a church choir, guns, someone finding out that they are not the father and a midget. I would also like to point out that R. Kelly’s character is named Sylvester, which is the icing on the cake of this saga. I thought I would highlight some of my favorite parts of “Trapped in the Closet”, but I strongly encourage you to watch it yourself if you have the time. Chapter One: "Then he walks back to the room. Right now I'm sweating like hell. Checks under the bed then under the dresser He looks at the closet I pull out my berretta* He walks up to the closet He’s close up to the closet Now he’s at the closet Now he’s opening the closet. “ This is how Chapter One ends with the husband of the women that Sylvester has spent the night with. This is one of the best parts because it gets you hooked, now you know you won’t be able to turn away, you need to finish watching all 22 chapters. The suspense of what’s going to happen next really gets you.
Chapter Five: Chapter Five might have to be my favorite chapter because R. Kelly sensors his music by himself. As in he makes the beeping noise for swears himself. This is not a joke.

 Why we LOVE Stonehill3/17/2013 |
There are many reasons to love Stonehill, the beautiful campus, nice students, and great academics to name a few, but there are certain reasons why Stonehill really stands out. According to our staff, here are five of the top reasons why we love the Hill. Free T-shirts- Since we’re all students on a tight budget, getting anything for free is the greatest, especially a free shirt. Girls gotta have something to wear to work out in. Whether you get them from Midnight Madness, or from purchasing your Spring Weekend Ticket these shirts are the best. The Candy Corner- Whenever you want to satisfy your sweet tooth, Stonehill always comes in clutch with the candy corner, the tiny area near the bakery where you can drop ten dollars off your meal plan in a flash. From savory to sweet, chocolaty to sour, this corner is a go-to after dinner. The Stonehill Bucket List- By the time you graduate, it is expected that you complete at least a few things on this list. Some of the most popular items include: climb Donahue, sled down Donahue, be Ace for a game, and complete the Stonebridge Challenge. Crispy Chicken Wrap Thursday/Taco Tuesday-On Tuesdays and Thursdays you know that the lines in the caf are going to be out of this world because of the tacos and crispy chicken wraps. These are staples in every Stonehill students diet. Spring Weekend Shenanigans- Spring Weekend is the weekend that everyone on campus looks forward to most. This is the weekend where all of the fun happens, with the concert, carnival, and mixer there are few opportunities to be bored. Especially when this weekend lands on a beautiful weekend, the shenanigan options are endless (especially when wearing matching shirts with friends). |

 Late Night With Jimmy Fallon11/8/2012 |
Last week Hurricane Sandy hit New York City in the worst way possible, the city needed to be evacuated. Jimmy Fallon though stuck it out stayed in the city and put on his late night talk show…to no audience (unless you count Mets bucket hat guy). Personally speaking I think Jimmy Fallon is great; he is EXTREMELY funny and obviously cares about his fans since he stayed in the city during this storm. Anyways he still put on an awesome show the guest list included Seth Meyers (also a really funny guy) Padma Lakshmi and Robert Zemeckis, and musical guest Imagine Dragons. So checkout his opening monlogue on the empty streets of New York. Photo Source

 Televised Stonehill Football Game10/28/2012 |
Last Thursday Stonehill football had the chance to play on national television again the University of New Haven. The student body came together and made an amazing explosive fan section. The atmosphere was crazy; add in the fact that it was close game W.B. Mason almost blew up. The sky hawks fought their way through the game and only lost in the last six seconds, but besides that it was an exhilarating game. Though they lost this night was still exciting, and more football games here should be that way.

 Second Presidential Debate Recap10/19/2012 |
Tuesday night’s debate was a roller coaster of emotions. Both presidential candidates seemed to be on there A game, especially President Obama who looked like he was trying to redeem himself after the first debate. The debate format was setup in a town hall type of style where both candidates took questions from the undecided voters in Long Island, New York. The two candidates answered the questions, and in turn made this a more exciting and sassier show for the viewers at home. Throughout the night both candidates argued with each other, calling out each other’s plans, and getting very testy at what their opposing candidate was saying. At one point the two of them got so close to each other, it looked as if they were about to fight. Another surprising performance though was from mediator Candy Crowley. Crowley was more invested in this debate then Jim Lehrer was, adding to the excitement of this debate. So collegietes who do you think won last nights debate? Also anyone else notice has Michelle Obama and Ann Romney were wearing the EXACT same color? |

 Emmy's Recap9/26/2012 |
So the 64th Emmy Awards were Sunday night, and all I have to say is that they were fabulously funny. Jimmy Kimmel was the perfect host, and the fact that he live tweeted it made it even better. One of my favorite tweets of his from the night “@jimmykimmel Ryan Seacrest is super fat in person. #emmys” So basically Jimmy killed it as the host. Here are some of my other favorite moments of the night:
Jimmy Kimmel is known for playing pranks with his viewers (remember when he told his viewers to tell their kids they ate all of their Halloween candy…if not check it out its priceless) so obviously he couldn’t miss an opportunity with the Emmys. To get more people to watch the show he asked for a volunteer from the audience and Tracy Morgan got right up there, once he had his volunteer Jimmy told the audience and everyone at home to tweet or make their Facebook status, “oh my God Tracy Morgan just passed out onstage at the Emmys turn ABC on NOW!” He then made Tracy lay onstage…after he put his numb-chucks away. I sincerely hope that more viewers tuned in because that was a very clever idea. With every single award show there is always an in memory video montage of celebrities, producers, writers, etc. who have passed away in the past year. Jimmy put his own twist on it by making a video montage of himself, with Josh Grobin singing One Direction's, What Makes You Beautiful, in the background. Seriously one of the funniest moments of the show.
