module.exports = function(app) {

        app.service('things').Model.aggregate([{

                sentiment: {

        }], function(err, result) {
            if (err) {
                console.log(err);
                res.sendStatus(500);
                return;
            }
            res.send(result);
        });

        // next();
    };
};

cool, but is there a tighter integration level?
