A Gift from Gaga

Last night at her Monster Ball concert in St. Paul Minnesota, Lady Gaga debuted a new song of hers called "Living on the Radio." Personally, I think it's a great song. She has so much talent and I think sometimes people pay more attention to the show that she puts on and don't give her enough credit for her vocals. I think she is the Madonna of our time, but bigger. This is the second song that Gaga has recently revealed to her little monsters, the first being "You and I," which I love and wish I could find a good quality version of on itunes. She is releasing a new album early next year. But for now, check it out and decide for yourself what you think:

I know. I've been slacking. I've been going through a lot of issues and I haven't had the motivation to post anything. But I'm working on it. So sorry to any of my readers (if i have any.) I promise that I will post a lot more often, but please be patient. And I will also work on making my posts better quality.
I want to share with you a piece of history and my newfound discovery that I learned the other day. Maybe it's apparent to everyone else except me, but I was taking a walk through my new neighborhood of Chinatown, TriBeCa, and the Financial District. I came across Duane and Reade streets, both with Duane Reade drug stores of the corner of the blocks, leading me to wonder about the origin of the New York City chain. I found out that, in fact, the first Duane Reade Pharmacy opened in 1960 between Duane and Reade streets on Broadway, right where I passed by.
Also, yesterday I needed to get a prescription filled and it was called in to a little pharmacy called "Aid Pharmacy" on Walker Street between Lafayette and Centre. Let me tell you, it is a sketchy place. Maybe it's just me, but I don't really trust little places like that. I like to go to Walgreens or Duane Reade, where it feels more legit. I felt like I was walking into a sex trafficking building. The label on my prescription is in Chinese, and I was so scared to take it. It was just supposed to be antibiotics but I was so scared that it was going kill me or something.
And on yet another tangent, I found this post from the VOICE blog. It would be awesome if MTV made a show about hipsters. It would be pretty hilarious.You could definitely make a drinking game out of it.

I really didn't want this blog to be an outlet for my feelings but lately it has. I'm really homesick. I don't think I've ever been this homesick since being away at school. I hate it and I don't know how to deal with it. Sometimes this city can be so lonely. Tweet This

"I don't know if you've ever felt like that. That you wanted to sleep for a thousand years, or just not exist, or just not be aware that you do exist, or something like that. I think wanting that is very morbid, but I want it when I get like this. That's why I'm trying not to think. I just want it all to stop spinning."

I'm not sure where this is from, but I really like it.
"Sometimes I wish I could just be a little kid again. So when life gets tough you can just play pretend. I wanna go back to when Santa did exist. When your daddy was the only boy you ever kissed.  When Disney World was the best place to be. When the only movies you could see were rated G. When your biggest problem was learning to write your name and people didn't change...and your friends were the same. And every time you were sad or you had a bad day, you could just run to mommy and it would all be okay. I wanna go back to no hurt...and no pain...just laughter. When everyone always lives happily ever after."
