And I don’t know if I really do.  Her stage name is Lady Gaga I tried not to read a single thing about artist before I listen to their music. I have no skill as an entertainment writer which makes me perfect. Anyway so i’m pretty late to the party. I started hearing her name tossed around as a terrible influence on our young people. She could very well be a bad influence. In fact I think she is only in that her true talent her voice and writing my get over shadowed by her shall we say lack of clothing and sometime provocative lyrics.  We all know who she reminds us of. Yes Madonna. Madonna is now a grandmother and seeing her next to each on Saturday night live was something to see. But….She can sing. Unlike some we know *cough* Britney.  Look its true I cant write and you can’t sing. Admitting it is part of the healing.  Well can’t is a strong word. But when you put her up against Beyonce “you go girl” and Lady Gaga “you freaky” how can you compare. I’ve gotten off topic. So I’m really late to the party. Real late.

Yes, I admit “I want to ride on you disco stick” Is probably not the right message. But I dont go to the likes of Lady Gaga for my moral compass.  But that voice reminds me of those huge pop hits of the 80′s. I’m talking about Pat Benatar’s Love is a Battle Field. I still turn that up or We built this city by Starship. They don’t make hits like that any more.  So yeah I’m breaking all the rules of decency. I’m sure there are people that say this is going to be the down fall of civilization. Well Madonna is still 60 and we are still here so I guess we survived.  here is what people say about lady Gaga. These were all taken from the comments of mtv viewers.

this song, freaky how she killed her BF but we all sumtimes want to.LOL

gaga allway makes the videos nasty and she is a B**** but i still got love 4 her

love this video. It’s funny. Anyway, Lady Gaga is hawt!!!

absolutely love Lady Gaga! She’s so different and Unique! She’s not afraid to be herself and make whatever weird videos she wants. This video is kinda weird though…

a real big fan of this song i like a couple of her other ones as for her style not a big fan but i do like the fact that she dont give a f… about what people think about her

Gaga is unique n all, but I really do think she tries too hard! Sick body though!

Spears “move over” you can’t top this Lady!!

Well so there you have it . Am I a huge fan. I wouldn’t say huge. Do I think she needs the extras.  You know what I mean. Don’t know. Would you have paid her any mind if you knew she could sing. I don’t have a philosophical church thing here. No I just know that “We are young heartache to heartache we stand no promises no demands no one can tell us we are wrong” Aint that the truth. Can’t recommend her at the end of this. I can though ask what you think. So what do you think? Oh and love is a battle field.

We all have those shows. The ones we know really suck. Flipping out is one of them. But you also can’t stop watching. Here is a guy who started out rich treating people as poorly as he can and we I love to watch.  Maybe part of it is because I want to know how far he can push people.  So here is the premise to this show. That dude in the picture on the right flips house with his partner/boyfriend…then they broke up and now he remodels homes or decorates them I dont really know which. He’s been in a fight with his ex-partner/boyfriend.  I dont really understand the fight so you’ll have to watch and find that out for yourself. The girl in the middle is his assistant. She’s been with him for 7 years. They’re friends but he likes to humiliate her. The lady way in the back is his maid. I dont know her story. The guy in the shot I really dont know who he is. Hannah is at fault for why I watch this. I usually dont make it through an entire episode before I have to switch it off.  This is one of those shows you just watch and never really know why. Its not because its a good show. Mad Men is a good show, Amazing race is a good show. This is something else. Something very different. Bad tv

Today I went to see slumbdog millionaire. It puts faith back in the art of film. Last week I went to see 7 pounds lets just say 30 minutes in I decided to write down 5 things that i thought would be  in the outcome of the movie. I was right 4.5 times. So if you are looking for a holiday film. Slumdog millionaire is your thing. Ask me about it if you would like to know more. I know this isn’t much of a review.

Every once in a while I come across a website that I have add to my bookmarks. Well this morning while checking my facebook I “checked” out one of those ads that you see over on the right side. It brought me to the lexus video something website.  That’s where I found oddly enough Found. I heard about this site then forgot about it a while ago. Found. Somewhat like that secrets book that you see at urban outfitters. You know the one where you just read one then you end up spending the afternoon going through it. Well found is about people finding notes and sending them in to this dude. For me this is one of those ideas that I wish I had and followed through on.  I get ideas then never want to take the time to do them…I’m getting off track. Plus.  This dude can tell it better. I’m always looking for bookmark adds so let me know if you have some.

Black teen pregnancies? A ‘crisis’ in black America.
White teen pregnancies? A ‘blessed event.’

If you grow up in Hawaii you’re ‘exotic.’
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, you’re the quintessential ‘American story.’

Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you’re ‘unpatriotic.’
Name your kids Trig and Track, you’re ‘colorful.’

If you’re a Democrat and you make a VP pick without fully vetting the individual you’re ‘reckless.’
A Republican who doesn’t fully vet is a ‘maverick.’

If you spend 3 years as a community organizer growing your organization from a staff of 1 to 13 and your budget from $70,000 to $400,000, then become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review,create a voter regstration drive that registers 150,000 new African Amerian voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor,then spend nearly 8 more years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman of the state Senate’s Health and Human Services committee, then spend nearly 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of nearly 13 million people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran’s Affairs committees, you are woefully inexperienced.
If you spend 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, then spend 20 months as the governor of a state with 650,000 people, you’ve got the most executive experience of anyone on either ticket, are the Commander in Chief of the Alaska military and are well qualified to lead the nation should you be called upon to do so because your state is the closest state to Russia.

If you are a Demoratic male candidate who is popular with millions of people you are an ‘arrogant celebrity’.
If you are a popular Republican female candidate you are ‘energizing the base’.

If you are a younger male candidate who thinks for himself and makes his own decisions you are ‘presumptuous’.
If you are an older male candidate who makes last minute decisions you refuse to explain, you are a ‘shoot from the hip’ maverick.

If you are a candidate with a Harvard law degree you are ‘an elitist ‘out of touch’ with the real America.
If you are a legacy (dad and granddad were admirals) graduate of Annapolis, with multiple disciplinary infractions you are a hero.

If you manage a multi-million dollar nationwide campaign, you are an ‘empty suit’.
If you are a part time mayor of a town of 7000 people, you are an ‘experienced executive’.

If you go to a south side Chicago church, your beliefs are ‘extremist’.
If you believe in creationism and don’t believe gobal warming is man made, you are ‘strongly principled’.

If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you’re a Christian.
If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years with whom you are raising two beautiful daughters you’re ‘risky’.

If you’re a black single mother of 4 who waits for 22 hours after her water breaks to seek medical attention, you’re an irresponsible parent, endangering the life of your unborn child.
But if you’re a white married mother who waits 22 hours, you’re spunky.

If you’re a 13-year-old Chelsea Clinton, the right-wing press calls you ‘First dog.’
If you’re a 17-year old pregnant unwed daughter of a Republican, the right-wing press calls you ‘beautiful’ and ‘courageous.’

If you kill an endangered species, you’re an excellent hunter.
If you have an abortion you’re not a christian, you’re a murderer ( forget about if it happened while being date raped)

If you teach abstinence only in sex education, you get teen parents.
If you teach responsible age appropriate sex education, including the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
