Yo Yo This is the Intro

What's Up What's Up Ya'll!!

Hmm... I think "about me" sections are mildly annoying. Even the most important things about myself I seem to forget whenever I sit down and write one of these.

Well, my name is Lauren Westhusing. Just transferred here to this fine institution in the fall of 2006. I was born and raised in Louisville, went to Sacred Heart, and then went off to Xavier University in Cincinnati, OH. Needless to say, Xavier didn't work out for me. It's all good though, because I'm here at Bellarmine, majoring in Communications with a minor in Business Administration.

I'm a lot more chill than your average 21 year old chick. I hang out with all guys, I watch sports, I play video games... I'm addicted to live shows. I mean ALL kinds of music too. Rock, Rap, Country... bring it all on. If any of you have not been to a concert in your life, GO. It doesn't matter what kind of music it is, it's just important to have the experience of feeling the music on your body, and not just your ears. Feeling the beat on your chest, hearing the lyrics in your heart... it's unbelievable.

I look forward to spitting out my opinions about all this throughout the next few months. Until then, later dudes.

Hi, I'm Sharayah Franklin

Hey, my name is Sharayah Franklin. I am a sophomore at Bellarmine University. I'm majoring in Communications and minoring in Theater. I'm looking into going into radio or possibly TV/Film. The reason being is that I love music so much, so I figured I might as well do something that I enjoy.
I've lived in Louisville my whole life, contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be a Card's fan to live in Louisville(Go Big Blue!). As you can tell I'm a little bit into sports as well, just mainly UK, college basketball...even though I do enjoy watching figure skating...broad ends of the spectrum, I know.
Like I said before I really enjoy movies and music, though since coming to Bellarmine, I've really begun to enjoy watching plays. I've always been involved in drama/performing arts, mainly with my church, since I was like 8...but I've rarely been in the position to watch them. I've always been on the performance end.
I love basically all genres of movies, well besides horror flicks, but my absolute favorite movie is, The Matrix, I liked the other two of the trilogy, but the first one was the best, IMO. I love comedy, action, and romance/romantic comedies movies....As far as music goes, I like rock, I listen to mainly Christian Rock, but I also dabble in the mainstream music as well, like U2, The Fray, Daughtry etc. I really do not like Rap/Hip-Hop, but any other music genre, I'll at least try some of it and see if I like it. I've been influenced by music my whole life. My parents used to be in a band in the early '90's. My mom was the lead singer and my dad ran the sound. So I've been around music my whole life, I was even going to concerts when I was even really too young to remember much about them. I and the other blog members should be updating weekly with the latest in movie, music and play reviews.
I've included a picture so that you can put a face with the name. This picture I actually tried to take a good one, usually I don't want to put the amount of time and energy in to taking tons of pictures...but this one came out relatively good....I hope you enjoy our blog!
I decided to do something along the same lines as my blog mate Brie, and add a play list of some of my favorite music. It only has two bands,albeit they're my favorite, on it right now, but I hope to add more in the near future. Enjoy!

Nice to Meet you, I'm Brie Dunaway

Hello. My name is Brie Dunaway. I am a junior communication major attending Bellarmine University. I have lived in Louisville, Kentucky all of my life. Though I am a comm major, I have always had a passion for the arts; music is the only thing that I will publicly cry over; once I tried to legally change my name to "Roberta Joan Anderson (A.K.A. Joni Mitchell)," I was nine.


I have always been influenced by the arts, my favorite babysitter when I was a child was named Edward, Edward Scissorhands; oh, the embarrassment I caused my poor mother as I was sent home from school because I refused to remove the scissors taped to my hands, even after I nearly skewered my own eye. If it isn't obvious, I thouroughly enjoy singer/songwriters, and Innovative and/or Indie filmmakers. I, along with my blog members, will be updating each week about the latest releases in music, movies, books, plays, etc.

For a taste of the music I'm interested in, here is a playlist of some of my favorites, hope you enjoy!

So you can put a face to the name, here is a photo of myself, and my two friends, I don't know why one of them is sitting on me.... ok fine, so I'm not the dinosaur, but woudn't that be great if I were? Just imagine it, "The critiqueing crythosaurus." Yeah, that would be great. Anyway, I'm the one in the baseball cap.
