Bring It On: Musical Review

By Jeff Walsh

“Bring It On” hits all the notes you’d expect from a new musical inspired by the 2000 Kirsten Dunst cheerleading movie of the same name. There are catty cheerleaders, underdogs for the audience to cheer on, and high-flying aerial wizardry. But the members of its creative team have built their names by delivering theater that goes beyond our expectations, and that didn’t happen this time.

The story is pretty simple. A cheerleader is forced to change schools and goes from being head cheerleader of a winning squad to being anonymous in a more ethnic school that doesn’t even have or want a cheer squad. I never saw the original movie, but my friend who attended with me said it is not the same plot, so it is definitely more “inspired by” than “based on.”

Image concerns...

Just wanted to make sure people are aware of new technology out there, so you all could take any precautions necessary to protect your identities on Oasis.

If you haven't tried it out yet, Google has a new image search capability. When you go to the Google home page and click Images, you are given a normal image search bar. But the new bit is that you can drag and drop an image onto the search bar and it will also search for that image elsewhere on the web.

So, if you grabbed a school picture that is available on your school website, your Tumblr page, your Facebook (if it is available to the public), etc., all of these can technically get linked together if the same photograph is on all of these sites.

Definitely not a good thing for people in the closet, or people who just don't want anyone to be able to link their online accounts to one another, etc. And, unlike the profile pages on here, which we can tell Google and other search engines not to scan, this is slightly different, as anyone can grab a photo and see if it appears elsewhere online.

Do with this information what you will. I just wanted to put it out there.

The safest bet seems to be using a unique photo for Oasis that appears nowhere else online, even in a different lighting/background than other pictures you've taken.

Just a heads up.

I'm not suggesting this technology has only nefarious purposes, of course:

DADT is repealed...

Now that it is OK to be openly gay in the US military, there have already been gay marriages and other events our LGBT troops have been having.

This soldier came out to his father over the phone from Germany:

What is it about baths...

You know what’s wonderful about this site - everyone assumes you’re gay. Makes a nice change.

I may have said I would only post in the mornings, but I changed my mind. After today, I shall do it in the evenings.

So. I have spent a large portion of the day listening to James Blunt, just to give you an idea of the state I am in… “You’re beautiful… I will never be with you…” and all that shizzle. It’s been huge fun. Bear in mind I usually listen to people like Bellowhead and I’m From Barcelona.

Bipolar day :):

Today I realized that Nico is straight, he told some friend "Daniel is cacorro! In the integration he was always trying to touch me! I wanted to pounch him!" then I kinda broke when I heard that, then I got the results for a maths and science midterm I both won them, then I started to cry in a class and started laughing at the same time! :D:
Got the rest of the school time being bipolar, spent all day with other friend having the same day and being next to Andrew! :)
I'm having Friday free :D

In Retrospect...

Lately I have been looking back on my life, wondering why I never noticed that I was bi. Now I'm thinking it's just because I didn't realize that people could like the same gender. Here, for your reading pleasure, is a summary of my journey of self-discovery:
*Kindergarten: I convince my best freind to propose to me a year after breaking his heart by saying I liked another little boy, P. My BFF/Fiance, K, and I decide to have 99 kids. We can only think of 20 names, though...

Jitters.

I can't sleep.
I wrote that last post and sent the link to her. Now time can only tell.
I'm scared, and it's four in the morning. What if she tells or shows the post to others? I can't be outed like that. What would my -boyfriend- think?! He'd never trust me and leave me. I can't be alone.

And no, for the sake of someone holding on to me isn't the only reason, he and I are together... I'm truly in love with him. I mean we built a strong friendship up before we became something,

Came out.. AGAIN.

I know I only just posted a journal entry, but there you go. I enjoyed it.

This may only be the fifth time I have come out, but I'm really starting to get pissed off with it. It takes me at least 3 hours to get it out (this was the record time last night) and I get so damn nervous.
