A while back, I decided to start posting some of my favorite clips from Luke's coming out story line and Luke/ Noah's story line primarily because I do not really recognize the Luke Snyder currently being presented on my screen.  It has been several weeks since my last installment, so here is my next chronological favorite...

6.  Song:  "The Acrobat" (EP Version)
      Artist:  Johnathan Rice
      Album:  "Trouble Is Real"  (2005)

Outside of the country music genre, not many songs are able to tell a story through their lyrics.  Scottish singer Johnathan Rice walks this fine line between musicality and storytelling in his rather enchanting work, "The ( Read more... )

 Earlier this week, I created a list of my top ten songs according to lyrics.  That was just the tip of the iceberg, however, because I have so many other musical selections worthy of mention which did not fit on that particular list.  This list, therefore, contains my top ten songs for when I am in my most somber and quiet moods.  It is also ( Read more... )

 And my top ten song list commences...

6.  Song: "One"
     Artist: U2
     Album:  "Achtung Baby" (1991)

I find a great deal of irony in the creation of this song.  Although, I love this song because of its apparent message of unity despite differences, it was allegedly written when U2 was on the verge of breaking up.  Background aside, however, this ( Read more... )

I have always loved music.  When I was younger, I took piano lessons and sang in the high school choir.  Admittedly, I was not very good at either of these activities, but I enjoyed being a part of the musical process.  I have lost touch with  "creating music" per se since beginning college, even though I ironically attend an educational ( Read more... )

 One of the reasons I really loved Luke Snyder's original coming out story was because it was so character-driven.  Sure, it had its out there, soapy moments, but at the heart of the story was believable emotions and believable family relationships (Jade's sudden appearance aside).

Among my favorite bonds during this story line was the connection ( Read more... )

 Huh, I guess I'm on a roll today, aren't I?  I guess it's just one of those days. Ha!

So I've been watching more old clips from Luke's coming out story line, and I discovered another one of my favorite moments.

Observe:

In this scene, Luke confesses to Jade (Elena Goode) that he is in love with Kevin.

Oh, why can't the writing on ATWT be this good ( Read more... )

 I have recently found ATWT's Luke Snyder (Van Hansis) fairly unrecognizable.  Therefore, in order to remind myself why I originally became so attached to this character, I have decided to post some old clips that I feel really capture a poignant point in Luke's life.  These scenes also show, for me, how fantastic Van Hansis is at portraying all of ( Read more... )

 ATWT has had my negativity and pessimism on an all-time high these last few days.  I have no idea why I continue to torture myself by watching TV shows that fail to make me happy.  Thus, I am going to focus on some positive TV news that I feel I can actually look forward to:  Josh Groban on the season finale of GLEE!!
