Lady Gaga

I went to a Lady Gaga concert in Omaha over St Patricks day. She actually does have a beautiful voice and wonderful stage presence... you just have to not get distracted by the weird things she said, the blood and the flaming pianos.

She announced that she was going to a bar after the show. She actually showed up and did a mini performance (see below). THAT was a great night!!!

Old confessions

Today I retire my old confession:

"I didn't know before, and I wouldn't like to admit it, but I am emotional and naive. My intuition has been my guide to-date. Now that I don't trust it anymore, I am lost"

I think I have come to peace with the fact that I am emotional. It turns out that my emotions are sometimes wiser and more instructive than my faux-solid logic.



Instead, I have to come to terms with a fact and a question that:

"I self-sabotage. I know what must be done, and sometimes I just don't do it... does this mean I have problems, or that I just don't want the things I think I want?"
