The show opens with Kurt and Mercedes in Sue Sylvester’s office as she discusses some issues she’s having with them. First, Mercedes’ body. She says that she’s not comfortable in the Cheerio skirts. Kurt informs her that she doesn’t have to be embarrassed of her body but it’s the opposite for her. She’s not embarrassed but rather doesn’t want to show too much skin and causing a *and I quote* “sex riot” *her words not mine*. The thing is Splits Magazine *I’m assuming this is some sort of Cheerleading magazine, kind of like ESPN the magazine* has named her Coach of the last 2000 years *yeah the last 2000 years*. They will be sending a reporter (Mr. Pendergrass) to interview her and she wants Mercedes to lose 10 lbs and be in a Fit Cheerios uniform by the next week when he arrives or she’s off the team. She then excuses them so that she can call the Ohio Secretary of State to inform them that she will no longer need to carry ID because people should know who she is!
Later in the Teacher’s Lounge… Will confronts Sue about the Auditorium being padlocked. Sue of course plays it off as if she had no idea that this has happened. She has apparently made a sign up sheet for the auditorium use that she keeps folded in her waistband. Not only that but she has the entire week already booked. Will tells her he will see what Principal Figgins has to say about it, that’s when she drops the bomb that she is blackmailing the principal so he won’t and can’t do anything about it. Will leaves shocked.
At Glee rehearsal… Before they end rehearsal Mr. Schuester tells them that they can’t use the auditorium for the next week because the Cheerios need it to practice for the upcoming magazine shoot. Rachel recommends that they do a sit-in while Puck thinks that they should just torch the place. As the club talks about what to do Mr. Schuester reminds them that they have faced adversity before and come out stronger because of it. He tells them that he’ll look for some off campus locations that they can use instead of the auditorium.
As Class adjourns… Kurt comes up to Finn and asks his opinion on how he should redecorate his bedroom. He’s going for the Hunter’s lodge meets Tom Ford’s bedroom look. *Yeah, that sounds like a hot mess.* Finn just kind of looks at him crazy and tells him he lives in a closet with cowboy wallpaper. He nervously picks a pattern and walks away.
In the Cafeteria… As Mercedes is picking an item from the oh so nutritious selection of food *sarcasm* Kurt reminds her that she needs to lose 10 lbs or she’ll get kicked off the team. When she goes to ask the two Cheerio spies how they stay so skinny they introduce her to the “Sue Sylvester Master Cleanse”. * Get ready for it* It consists of water, maple syrup, lemon, cayenne pepper, and a dash of ipecac to induce vomiting. When Mercedes suggests that it sounds terrible, they say they don’t care. It’s either do that and stay on the team or don’t and get kicked off. Quinn sees all this from the side as it happens and you can clearly see that she is feeling bad for Mercedes.
At Finn’s House… Finn and his mom watch as all of his dad’s things are removed from the house. As the movers ask about buying the recliner as well, Finn quickly says that it’s not for sale. The only picture he has of him and his father is when his father is holding him as a baby in that recliner and he doesn’t want to lose that memory. He feels that is all that he has left of his father. His mom responds that it’s just a chair and not his father. When Finn asks her why she’s selling all of this stuff and what’s going on with her she tells him that she is seeing someone. Not only is she seeing someone new but she thinks that she’s in love. When he asks who it is well, *surprise surprise* it’s Kurt’s dad!!
Later that night… Will is searching around for a place for the Club to practice and finds his way to a skating rink. When he asks around about who to talk to about renting the space he is directed to ex girlfriend April. She insists that they sing ” Fire“ by Bruce Springsteen as a duet. After their duet and a couples skate around the rink they have catch up on old times. Last time we saw her she was an alcoholic on her way to rehab. she stopped in a bar on the way there and ran into Buddy Lebowitz. *who is Buddy lebowitz? He’s the owner of a bunch of different strip malls in the area* She’s his new mistress and that’s how she has come to own the skating rink. He asks if the club can rehearse there since Sue is being so unreasonable about the auditorium and April quickly and enthusiastically says yes. When he tells her that he has to leave to show his apartment so that he can find a new place to live he tells her about his divorce. She is visibly excited that he is free to date. *in order to get a chance to sleep with him* April decides that she wants to see the place and may want to rent it since she’s back in town and needs a place to stay. They make an appointment to meet the next day.
The next day in Coach Sylvester’s office… Coach Sylvester is having a Cheerio weigh in and it’s Mercedes’ turn. Instead of losing weight she actually gained 2 lbs. Now she has only 4 days to lose the weight or she’s done as a cheerio. Coach Sylvester tells her to do whatever it takes to lose the weight.
In between Classes… Finn catches up with Kurt in the hall. He’s trying to figure out what’s going on with their parents dating. Kurt informs him that they met at a parent teacher night about a month or so prior. He conveniently left out the part where he introduced and practically hooked them up. This is all Kurt’s plan to be with Finn. He’s already picked out furniture and all. Finn isn’t having it and walks off disgusted.
Back in Class… Mr. Scheuster delivers the news to the club that they’ll be practicing in a roller rink. This does not go over well with them. Kurt feels that the group just needs to find a sense of place. He then attempts and fails miserably at singing *My most favorite Luther Vandross song ever!!* “Still in Love (A House is Not A Home)“. *I’m sorry but nobody can do that song justice except Luther*. It’s clear that Kurt is singing to Finn, as Mr. Scheuster’s mind wanders off into thoughts of his own lost loves. When Finn sings his portion he is singing to an Urn with his dad’s ashes in it as it sits in the recliner next to that portrait of them.
Later that night… April arrives at Will’s apartment with an overnight bag. When asked about it she says that she needs to settle into the place by staying overnight to see if the energy is right for her. Will is visibly uncomfortable about the situation but she assures him that it’s only one night, so he agrees and gives has her sleep on the couch. As she is getting dressed for bed she sings “One less Bell to Answer” by 5th Dimension featuring Marilyn McCoo. Will eventually joins in as he prepares for bed as well. He pauses at one point to look at a picture on a table of him and a woman that looks like Emma but could have been Terri. As they both separately sing and prepare for bed. He comes into the living room to tuck her in. After this she transitions into “Still in love” by Luther Vandross. She decides not to sleep alone and goes into the room with Will to sleep next to him. They then do a mash-up of the two songs as they lay in bed together.
At dinner… Finn and Kurt accompany their parents on a date. Kurt begins to make a toast to the momentous occasion. Finn is visibly down and not into this couple. Kurt’s father tries to make Finn feel more comfortable by asking him about sports. When they realize that they both love football, Finn seems to cheer up while all Kurt is concerned about are the new jeans he got Finn’s mom Carol. Kurt’s father and Finn begin to bond more as they talk about going to football games together sometime. Finn’s mom is happy that he’s coming out of his shell but Kurt seems to be hurt that his father is bonding so fast with Finn. *More on that later*
Later that night… Kurt is taking down the different color swatches of the wall that he was using to come up with ideas on how to redecorate the house when his father comes down to talk with him. He’s pretty snappy to his dad because he was bonding so closely with Finn and he never was that tight with him. His father reassures him that he loves him regardless and a little “guy talk” with another kid is not going to change anything. Kurt starts to reconsider his decision to help his dad start dating again.
The next day at school during lunch… While Mercedes is sitting having lunch with Artie and Tina she is being really snippy. They try and tell her that it’s not healthy to be drinking “Sue Sylvester’s Master Cleanse”. When she starts to yell at them about how hard it is to be a cheerio and even to fit in at the school she begins to hallucinate. Tina becomes ice cream on a cone and Artie becomes a piece of chocolate cake. As she walks off the other students all look like food to her. She then faints.
In the Nurses office… The nurse tells her that her blood pressure was low causing her to faint and goes to call her mom to let her know. Quinn is in the office and has a talk with Mercedes about what’s going on with her. She tells her that she has been in the same situation before and knows how she feels. She tells Mercedes how lucky she is to be so comfortable in her own body and not to let Coach Sylvester take that away from her, she then reassures her that she is beautiful no matter what. *Message!!!*
Later at the Rink… As the club does some skating after practice Will says that he doesn’t feel like things are working out. April just brushes it off and suggests that she close up early and that they rent a movie and snuggle up for the night. He doesn’t want to make it a habit of them being together since he’s in the middle of a divorce and she’s a mistress to someone else. After all this he offers her a place to stay for the night, she declines and says she is going over to Buddy’s to break it off. They hug it out as she walks away.
The next day… In between classes, Kurt comes up to Finn and tells him that they need to find a way to break up their parents. Kurt felt left out when Finn was talking to his dad. They agree to try and put an end to the relationship.
At Finn’s house…. Finn takes drastic measures first by attempting to flush his dad’s ashes down the toilet. His mom stops him and he tells her he’s only doing what she’s going to do since she’s dating now. She’s on to him and quips back that they can pretend to be a family and sets the urn in the recliner, turns the tv on and begins talking to the ashes. When he says that she is being crazy she comes right back that he is being selfish by not letting her date and try to move on. She tearfully confesses that she takes the urn with her to bed every night and talks to him about what’s going on with her day and asking for his advice, while waiting on his laugh for 16 years.
At the Pep Rally the next school day… The Cheerios are getting set to perform when Sue Sylvester walks in and sits next to the reporter. She finds out that her story is not some little fluff piece for the magazine but actually a hard hitting investigation into student athletics. The Cheerios then enter and get ready to perform. As they set up and wait a few seconds before starting to *”build the tension” per Coach Sylvester* Mercedes walks out and up to the mic to address the crowd. As the rest of the student body look to her she tells them that their self image and self worth is more important than anything as she tells her story. She then begins to Beautifully sing “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera. *Very heart touching and warming performance* The Glee members join in as she gives a masterful performance while Coach Sylvester and the reporter watch. He then tells a shocked Coach that he will finish the interview with her in her office tomorrow.
The next day in Coach Sylvester’s office… Coach Sylvester comes in to try and explain what happened at the pep rally but he stops her. He explains to her that at first he didn’t like her and thought she was a bit racist. He thought that he would have a story that would expose her as a coward and a cheater but was wrong. Coach Sylvester is not surprisingly shocked. He goes on to say that she has put together a team that represents every shape and size singing about empowerment and inclusion telling everyone that it’s okay to be exactly as the way you are. He feels that she is a visionary and may be redefining cheer leading. She of course regroups and spins it into something that she came up with. he assures her that this is a great thing and when his story comes out it can only mean bigger things for her.
Later on that night… Back at Finn’s house, Kurt’s dad drops by. He was invited by Finn’s mom to come over and have a man to man talk with him. Kurt’s father goes on to say that there is no way that he can fill his dad’s shoes but that he loves his mom and promises never to hurt her or try to replace his dad. After all this Finn, doesn’t have anything left to say and invites him to sit in his Dad’s chair to watch a basketball game. Kurt is watching from the window and begins to cry as he sees his father bonding with Finn.
the next day at school… April tells Will that she took his advice and told Buddy to either ditch his wife or she’s leaving. Guess what? The old man has a stroke and dies!! To ensure that April doesn’t go to the newspapers with the story of the affair, the wife pays her $2 million to keep quiet! So what does she decide to do? Go to Broadway and start an all white production of The Wiz!! * You know the classic with Diana ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow, Nipsy Russell as the Tin Man, Ted Ross as the Lion,and Lena Horn as Glenda the good witch, and who can forget Richard Pryor as the Wiz!! Sidenote; The Graffiti kids were way way way way way better then the Lollipop guild!!!* Not only is she leaving but her parting gift is that she bought them the auditorium!! *You Principal Figgins is all about the budget!!* It is not called the “April Rhodes Civic Auditorium.
The final performance and probably the best one of the night is April singing “Home” as sung by Diana Ross in The Wiz. You should also click here and here to check out Stephanie Mills’s version. In my opinion she does a much better job at it but since they were talking about The Wiz I added Diana Ross’ Version.

I’m back at the Doctor’s office again. I haven’t been here for a follow up since February. That’s a good thing. Since I did so well at the last appointment he has started to space out my visits. That’s great for my health and wallet! Lol His office is about 30 minutes away from me and I have a $30 co pay each visit. There are closer endocrinologists but he’s the best in the Metro area. Seriously, he was voted the #1 endocrinologist in the Atlanta Metro area and top 5 in the state. Plus he’s cool as all get out!
Anyway, this visit should go just as well as the others, while I haven’t been sticking to my meal plan as well as I should I still think I’m doing well overall of controlling my levels.

So this episode was a tribute to Madonna. Every song was a Madonna number. Not really my thing but for the sake of the show, I press on…
The show opens with Sue Sylvester writing into her diary about her love for Madonna, then she proceeds to coerce the principal into blasting Madonna through the PA system for the entire day. When he refuses she reminds him of her pictures and once again threatens to blackmail him unless he does this. He gives in.
In her quest to pay tribute to Madonna, Coach Sylvester gives the cheerios bracelets with W.W.M.D. (What Would Madonna Do) on them and tells them that they need to date young men, think and act like her.
Later on while the girls of Glee are hanging out in the practice room, Rachel asks them about dating. She poses a hypothetical question about ‘what if she was making out with a guy and he suggests that they ‘do it’ with her, how does she say no without being awkward about it? She just wants to be ready when it happens and doesn’t want him to be mad when she’s not ready. They then begin dishing dirt on their boyfriends or lack thereof. Mr Schuester overhears the conversation and suggests that they talk to someone about it. someone like Ms Pillsbury. *Yeah that was no help. When Rachel went to her before about sex she suggested she talk to her Rabbi* He decides to talk to her so that next time a girl approaches her about sex then she’ll be prepared. They decide to work together to come up with a plan to help the girls feel empowered and help her as well.
At Cheerios practice… As the Cheerios run through a rehearsal of “Ray of Light “Mr. Schuester walks in to talk with Coach Sylvester. He sees how inspiring the song is and then how degrading Sue is to the excellent performance. He tells her how much he is impressed with the routine.
Back at Glee practice… After seeing the Cheerios’ performance he tells them that the task for this week is to come up with a Madonna number. All the girls are ecstatic about it! The guys? Well not that much… He feels that the guys are bullying, disrespecting and being misogynistic towards the women. He tells the guys to put themselves in the girls’ shoes and that Madonna’s music is about equality and such. While the guys aren’t fully on board the ladies, led by Rachel, decide to win them over by performing “Express yourself“. Let’s just say the guys weren’t too entertained and seemed rather bored.
The next day… The Cheerio Spies are talking in the hall and realize that the only way they can stay on the Cheerios is to find a younger inferior man. Santana decides to pick Finn and the only way she can get him to fall for her is to de-virginize *yes I made that word up* him. She sees him in the hall and asks him out on a date then explains that she is going to take his virginity. When he says that he wants Rachel, she tells him that Rachel’s still with Jesse St. James. They make a date to have sex.
In Ms. Pillsbury’s office… She invites Coach Sylvester down to see her because she wants to know why Madonna isn’t playing in her office. Coach Sylvester put it to her squarely, she doesn’t feel that Ms. Pillsbury is Madonna worthy. Nothing about her exudes the self confidence, power over her body or sexual magnetism that Madonna possesses. Then she walks out like nothing happened.
In the practice room… Finn approaches Rachel about what Santana told him. Rachel wants them to do a mash-up of Madonna songs to show the guys how cool it is. Before they sing the mash-up of “Borderline” and “Open Your Heart” he asks her and she lies and says no. When he says he never thought she’d lie to him she confesses. She also makes him promise not to tell the guys.
Later on… Kurt and Mercedes are at her locker when Mr Schuester walks up. The begin talking about how amazing it is to be doing a video for the Madonna assignment. All is well until Coach Sylvester comes up to pick on Will and complain about the Glee club paying tribute. She does not want them to do it. This time while she cracks jokes about Will’s hair he quips back asking her how the Florence Henderson look is going? *Zing* Embarrassed by this, she flies off into a rage pushing any and everyone she can out of her way as she stomps down the hall. *I think she finally knows how he feels when she picks on him all the time.* Down the hall, Finn decides to take Satana up on the de-virgining.
Mercedes and Kurt feel back about what they witnessed and decide to go to Coach Sylvester’s office to see if she’s okay. She shares a story with them of how when she was six, the album True Blue came out and so she and her handy capable sister decided to bleach her hair with whatever chemicals they could find about the house. Well, of course this damaged her hair *and her brain too if you asked me* forcing her to have to wear it short for the rest of her life. That is why she picks on Will’s hair so much, because she is jealous. they decide to help her with her self esteem by including her and the Cheerios in their video tribute to Madonna.
At the Music store… Rachel meets up with Jesse. He says he feels bad about what happened the other night and tells her that she deserves epic romance and is willing to wait until she is ready to have sex. Overwhelmed, she tells him that she’s ready.
Back at school… As Will is leaving Emma stops him to let him know that all this Madonna has her thinking about her own empowerment issues and that she’s ready to do ‘the nasty’ with him tonight. Oh, and foreplay will begin at 7:30 sharp. He agrees and they make plans for 7:30.
Mercedes, Kurt and Coach Sylvester, with Artie as the director, make their own version of “Vogue”. * Utter hilarity!!!* You just have to see it to believe me on how funny this is!! Click Here!!
Later that night… They intertwine scenes of Will with Emma, Santana with Finn, and Rachel with Jesse as they each sing “Like a Virgin” before taking the other’s virginity, or at least trying to.
On Monday… Kurt and Mercedes are at his locker talking about how great they did on the video and how they ma have changed Coach Sylvester only for her to walk by her looking the same as usual. Mean and grumpy. When they ask her what happened she tells them that she grew tired of reinventing herself. The real reason was that when she went to the principal’s office with her new look to give him a list of kids, *all Glee clubbers*, to be sent to New York with $35 in their pocket *That’s how Madonna started out* he explained to her that she didn’t need to try and look like someone else and that she was an original just like Madonna. She decided that instead of reinventing herself she’ll just reinvent everyone else starting with Mercedes and Kurt.
In the Practice room… Finn catches up with Rachel to see how things went with her date with Jesse. She fronts and says that things went fine, but hints that he may not have ‘measured up” to her expectations. truth is, she couldn’t go through with it because she felt like she would be betraying the others and sleeping with the enemy. She then turns the questions to his date with Santana. He lies and says he couldn’t go through with it because he’s waiting for the right person( e.g. her). Actually he did go through with it but didn’t feel anything because he didn’t feel anything for Santana *who’s a bit of a lil hoe if you ask me*.
At Will’s Office… Emma knocks on the door. When he asks where she was because he had been trying to call her all weekend she apologizes for not going through with it and having sex with him. She thanks him for being a gentleman about it, he stops her and tells her that she doesn’t need to apologize and already took the first step by just mentioning that they do anything. They decide on a no date policy until his divorce is final. When asked when it would be he tells her that he filed today and while they are waiting he suggests she get help for her problem and suggests a counselor that can meet her at her office. When Emma walks out, the bomb walks in. Jesse St. James comes in to talk to him. He has officially transferred to Mckinley!!!
At Glee practice… Mr. Schuester and Jesse tell the others of what just transpired. Of course they are totally pissed and feel like it’s a trap and he’s only there to spy. He makes up this story of how his parents are on winter vacation in Bali so he’ll be staying with his uncle *who just happens to live in Mckinley’s school district*. When Rachel asks him why he’s doing this he tells her that since she would never be with him completely because he was a rival, now that they are on the same team then nothing is in the way of their love and he cares about her more than winning another national title.
Later at the pep rally…As the Cheerios perform their routine of “Four Minutes” there are two new vocalists in the group, Mercedes and Kurt!! Mr. Schuester is visibly pissed!! After the great performance he approaches Coach Sylveste, Mercedes and Kurt about it and thinks they should have at least given him a heads up *kinda like how he does when he almost gives them the solo every week*.
Back at practice… The guys sing “What it feels like for a girl” They then realize how they have treated the other girls badly and decide to do something to make it up to them. Artie apologizes to Tina and tells her that he really does care about and like her. Finn goes to tell Rachel how he really feels only to be stopped when Jesse walks up and says they need to have a sing off after school over Rachel. *dude, seriously? A sing off? WTH?* Finn decides to be the bigger man and instead of battling he welcomes Jesse into the group and offers to teach him the song that the guys will be doing for the assignment.
The show ends with the group doing a performance of “Like A Prayer“

I am just getting around to watching the premier episode of Treme on HBO. For those of you that don’t know about this series, its a show about life in New Orleans post Katrina and how the people of this area of New Orleans are trying to make a comeback and restore it to its former glory. This show is from the same people that did The Wire. You guys know how much I loved The Wire
Anyway, this episode has been sitting in my dvr all week. I kept skipping over it to watch other stuff and finally I decided to devote the time to sit down and watch it. I’m so glad I did! The producers and writers of this show seem to bring the same type of authenticity to it, as they did with The Wire, by having many of the integral characters played by local musicians and people. Now, since I’m not from New Orleans I can’t say for sure about that though.
I also watched the ‘making of’ special that they did and they seem to have tried their hardest to remain true to the New Orleans culture and way of life. I think this is one of the best shows on tv. HBO never really disappoints when it comes to original programming and they have scored another win with this one. I suggest that you guys check it out on Sundays at 10pm EST. Its well worth the time.

So this season picks up with the guys coming back to school after winning sectionals and thinking that life is going to somehow change. As Rachel, Mercedes and Kurt are walking down the hall feeling good about themselves and discussing how this will change their status they get hit with a dose of reality. Blue slushies to the face! I guess things really haven’t changed.
Mr. Schuester is arguing with the principal over whether the Glee club should still remain even though they won sectionals. The principal believes that it all comes down to the ever out of wack budget, not to mention the Cheerios need the auditorium to practice since it’s starting to get cold out. I know you’re thinking, the Cheerios don’t have a coach since Coach Sylvester was suspended right? Wrong! She’s baaa-aack!!!! Apparently that is the reason for suspensions, to reinstate. How can this happen after she was suspended for leaking the set list at sectionals? More on that later…
Finn is now playing basketball, and he sucks!!! I can’t totally blame it on his lack of basketball skills, he is a little depressed. I mean who can blame him? He’s dating the biggest geek at the school Rachel, his ex girlfriend who at the time was the head of the Chastity club, got pregnant and had him believing the child was his only to find out that the father is really his best friend Puck. It’s really hard not to understand why he’s a little “off his game”.
Coach Sylvester is back to torturing kids as she cuts off the long pony tail of one of the male students because he confuses her with his “shemale looks” before Will *Mr Schuester* catches up with her in the hall to find out how she got reinstated. Check this. She arranged a dinner with her and Principal Figgins and while he was not paying attention she slipped him a mickey and the next thing he remembers is waking up naked next to her in bed. No, they didn’t do anything but he doesn’t know that and she has pics of them together to blackmail him into reinstating her. Will decides that since she’s back then they should just bury the hatchet but of course Sue is not having it and will stop at nothing to have him and the Glee club destroyed.
At Glee Club practice, the guys try a new strategy to win regionals, and are tasked this week with coming up with new numbers that involve the word ‘Hello’ in them. He then goes to see Emma *The guidance counselor that he fell in love with last season* in her office and talk about going on a date and starting fresh.
In Sue Sylvester’s office she is berating the two cheerio Spies that she planted in the Glee club to destroy it on their inability to get the job done. She wants them to target Rachel by trying to go after Finn. She hopes that this will drive Rachel mad and make her quit. Without Rachel, in her eyes, the Glee club will fall apart.
Later on, Mr. Schuester is talking to Finn about how he can get out of this funk that he’s in. He wants him to sing a song to help find himself. He picks “Hello, I Love You“. This seems to help him gain some confidence as they show a montage of him going through his school days filled with more confidence and ends with him performing it at Glee practice. After the song the Cheerio spies come up to him and ask him out on a date, with both of them.
Later in the Cheerio spies set up the date and Rachel asks what they want and begins to question if Finn is being honest. He then breaks up with her. He feels he needs to find his “inner rock star” before he can be with anyone else. of course this devastates her and she calls him a scared little boy that’s afraid of dating her because of his reputation.
At Glee practice Rachel decides to volunteer to go first when asked who is ready to sing. Looking straight at Finn with her hands angrily positioned on her hip she belts out All American Reject’s “Gives You Hell” *One of my favorite songs ever if I might add *. The other members join in to unknowingly help her talk about Finn. Mr. Schuester gets upset because he doesn’t feel like they are taking this seriously and aren’t focusing. *Case in Point, the assignment was a song with “Hello” in it not just “Hell* they’re going up against clubs that are way more experienced. After practice, Rachel is at the music store looking through “The very best of Lionel Richies songbook” at “Hello” sheet music when she is approached by Jesse St. James *Who is this guy? Well, he’s one of the singers in ‘Vocal Adrenaline’ AKA the best Glee group around 3 years straight* and he offers to give her some tips. They decide to practice “Hello“ right there in the middle of the store. After this impromptu performance he asks her out on a date for Friday night.
The two Cheerio spies are discussing who the hottest guys in the school are and they only seem to come up with Puck and Finn but they think Finn isn’t as hot because of his “dwarf” girlfriend. As they are discussing this the camera pans to Finn sitting at the table right across from them. They’re discussing him as if he’s not even around when he’s right there. They decide to make a deal with him by him buying them dinner and then the’ll make out with him. This will make his rep go higher or at least back to what it was pre Glee.
Will and Emma actually go out on a real date, As they dance he sings “Hello Again” by Neil Diamond softly into her ear. He feels that this is the perfect song for them as well since it’s about a guy who has known this one girl for a long time but just as friends but decides to call her up and tell her how he feels. They fall on the couch and begin kissing passionately before Emma stops him because she is nervous. See she is a virgin and doesn’t want to rush things. She’s still waiting on the ‘right one’.
The next day at school, Finn apologizes to Rachel for his behavior and wants to be with her and no one else. Too late because Rachel has moved on to Jesse St. James. Finn tries to explain to her how suspicious it seems that they finally make it to regionals and the male vocalist of the rival group asks her out, but she seems oblivious or too hurt to see this. He then runs to Mr. Schuester to tell him about it and hopefully so that he can fix the problem.
Back in Sue Sylvester’s office she is debriefing the Cheerio Spies on how the date went and realizes that they may be the two stupidest teens she has ever met in her life because they failed to get Finn away from Rachel. They then tell her about Rachel and Jesse St. James possibly getting together and Sue is all over it.
Vocal Adrenaline is practicing their number ACDC’s “Highway To Hell“ as Mr. Schuester sneaks into the auditorium to watch. After the group goes on a break he talks to the leader of the group about Rachel and Jesse’s possible dating. She denies this, but before you know it they are back at Mr. Schuster’s place making out. He stops the action before it goes too far. They start talking about how all they think and talk about is Glee clubs and business. She feels that he may need to take some time to reevaluate himself.
At the next rehearsal,the club is pissed because they found out that she is dating Jesse and they think/know that it will end up badly for them. Vocal Adrenaline is an evil group that will do whatever it takes to win. She seems to not even care because she doesn’t know how many more chances she’ll get at having someone want to be with her. Real or not, she doesn’t care right about now. They give her an ultimatum, either break up or she’s out and since they can’t kick her out they’ll threaten to quit then Mr. Schuester will be forced to kick her out. They really believe that she is replaceable.
The next day, Coach Sylvester invites Rachel to see her. When she gets there she introduces Rachel to the “Mckinley High Old Maids Club”. A bunch of misfit girls from all walks of life. *Craziness*. She insists that Rachel go for it with Jesse or become an old maid.
Back at Will’s house, while Emma is meticulously setting the table for date night, Terry walks in. She has come to pick up the two DVDs that she left when shes a DVD of jazz songs. When Emma says that it has their song “Hello” by Neil Diamond on it, Terry quickly explains to her that the song was her and Will’s prom song. Emma refuses to believe it so Terry tells her to ask him or better yet go to the library and look it up in the yearbook.
Rachel goes to see Jesse to ask him if he is playing her or really has feelings for her. He laughs it off, then introduces himself as the real Jesse, not the lead singer of her rival, that cares about her and really likes her then begins kissing her. This is all a ploy set up by his instructor but Rachel is too blinded by love to see.
the next day at school, Emma comes up to Will with the yearbook from the year of his Junior prom and he realizes that their song is from that moment. It was an honest mistake, that he may have somehow subconsciously related his new love for Emma and his old love for Terry. Emma tells him that he may need some time alone to figure out his own needs and reevaluate himself. When he’s ready she’ll be right there waiting, but until then they can’t be together.
Rachel catches Finn in the hall and tells him that she broke it off with Jesse, he then tells her that he wants them to be together as a real couple. She is rendered speechless by this. Since she lied about breaking up with Jesse, she tells him that she can’t be with him because of the team and chemistry and all. Finn is hurt and tells her he won’t easily get over her.
This episode ends with the Club in the auditorium running through a dress rehearsal of “Hello, Goodbye” By the Beatles.

Just a little break in between assignments…
I just finished setting up my classes’ syllabus and tasks on my google calendar and syncing it with the Crackberry and I noticed that I have two assignments due pretty much every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from today until May 10th! I thought Distance learning was supposed to be for folks that have full time jobs as well? Geesh!! I’m not sayin’ but I’m just sayin’!
When I signed up for this school I thought it would be easier on my schedule since I work full time. I applied and was accepted to a couple of the traditional “Brick and Mortar” schools in my area but I chose to do distance learning because I liked the flexible schedule. I am definitely going to have to get it in this semester and buckle down. No more procrastination for me, I can’t afford to waste any time. I graduate in November and I am not going to fail some class, have to repeat it, and miss my November 19th graduation date. Nope. Not gonna happen. I have too much to do to get setback or tripped up.
The classes are not hard and seem interesting. I’m taking Fundamentals of Management and World Literature. The bookworm in me is already digging the reading assignments for World Lit. The management class… Ehh not so much (in my best Borat voice). This is a class that I need since I’m majoring in Business Management. So, yeah I might need to pay attention. I think it would help if my instructor didn’t sound like Ben Stein. Every time I hear him all I think is “Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?” just drones on and on and on!! I did read through some of the required reading for the class and it does seem interesting and I will learn a whole lot but I will definitely stay away from the live chats.
This is not something that I will quit. Anything I set my mind to doing then I can do. I am convinced and confident. There is no room for error and losing is not an option. “Never say Never”. Sorry just had a fievel moment. Now back to work. Chop! Chop!

It’s Ba-aack!!! Yes Folks Glee will be returning on April 13th, right after American Idol. I’m assuming that they’ll do this similar to how they did last year when they gave us an episode right after American Idol to start the season off with high ratings. I’m a huge Glee fan and I will be doing a recap of all the episodes just like I did with The Game.
If you’re still a little lost as to what this show is about then click here. I’m sure this season will have some guest appearances from some of your favorite performers, past and present. I’m pretty Geeked about this show because this is the one of those shows that I get. I mean I can really relate to the characters and stories. It’s just a great show if you’re in or have ever been in a school choir, show choir, glee club or even band and felt like you just couldn’t fit in with the other ‘normal’ students.
Make sure you tune in On April 13th at 9:28 est and every Tues at 9pm Est. If you can’t watch it or miss an episode you can always stop through and you know I’ll have you hooked up.

This house hunting is really starting to wear us down. Who knew it would be so stressful and if you did why didn’t you tell us? It seems like every time we find a great house someone else finds it first. Very frustrating. Add on the fact that we really want to stay in a select area is really trimming down our options. We know what we want but now it comes down to compromising because we are being realistic and know that we can’t get everything we want right out of the gate.
Our new realtor is pretty dope. I mean, he’s real. He has found some good spots and combined with what we’ve found it has been a pretty good partnership. Hopefully we’ll find the house that becomes our home.

If you’re not a blackberry owner or never experienced this then you’re probably looking at the title like ‘what is this fool talking about’? This is the error message I received after I backed up my contacts via the desktop manager for blackberry. At first I thought, Okay no biggie I’ll just do a battery pull and all will be right in the world again. Right? Wrong! After doing a battery pull I still got the same error message.
After asking my friend Google and my newest homie Bing, I found out that the only way to fix this is to wipe your blackberry clean and basically start all over! What!! Start all over? You have got to be kidding me! Do you realize how many apps I have on this thing and how long it took me to customize my screens and such the way that I like it? This really blows!!!!
I hopped on over to BBGeeks.com because they always seem to have some solution to the ever plagued blackberry software and saw this post that really helped me. I had to wipe my blackberry clean and reinstall everything. Thankfully I just finished backing everything up so I could add back whatever I needed. Actually it did me a favor because it got rid of a bunch of crap that I didn’t want on there anyway.
This is even more reason for me to ditch this crapberry formerly known as the crackberry! I’m thinking of getting a Mytouch or Cliq, haven’t decided yet though.

Okay so the picture above is of my wife Brooklyn’s sunday meal of Oxtail & Rice. It is the best I’ve ever had! Seriously! This was her first time making it & trust me she hit it out if the park with this one! I’m not big on beef, I’m a turkey or chicken man myself, but this had me going back for seconds!
I just thought I’d share that bit of info & if you’re in Atlanta and want a challenge then bring it! Just kidding.
Peace

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
