“I’m obsessively opposed to the typical.” Lady Gaga There are a lot of things you can say about Lady Gaga, but being ordinary isn’t one of them. This is yet […]
When Katy Perry first became popular, I thought she was kind of cool. Songs like “I Kissed a Girl” and “Teenage Dream” were edgy and she rocked pretty good in concert. Then all of a sudden she started with the lollipops, cupcake bra, and all of that lame crap, and I was like, “Huh?” And […]
I am sick of Lady Gaga’s new concert tour being reviewed by people who neither understand nor like Lady Gaga and her music. Screw the haters! Here is my review, by someone who gets it. A Little Monster! Lady Gaga’s current concert tour in support of her new ARTPOP album, dubbed “artRAVE: The ARTPOP Ball,” […]
Lady Gaga is an easy target these days. In a culture that loves to build people up and then tear them down, after so much early success she has a big target on her back. Our society also likes to generalize about people, usually in a negative fashion, because that is easier than actually getting […]
In a word: everything! She is just hot, hot, HOT! There is a sociology professor at the University of South Carolina who is teaching a class about Lady Gaga and her impact on popular culture, social media, and fame.

No, I’m not referring to Lady Gaga wearing another kooky outfit, although she certainly does that often enough. I’m talking about Lady Gaga making another hugely insightful observation about life. I was watching the album release show for her new ARTPOP CD, and she was being interviewed by Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest, as you’re probably already […]
People wonder why I like Lady Gaga so much. I’m not exactly her target audience, which is mostly late teens/early twenty-somethings and gay people. (Although, in my defense, I have heard more than one male newscaster on TV say they also think she is kind of hot looking!) What completely sold me on Lady Gaga […]
How Many Times Per Week Should I Train With Weights?
This is both a common and important question. If you weight train too infrequently, you will get little to no results. If you train too often, or work body parts in the wrong order, you will not get maximum results from your efforts. If there is one thing I hate to see it is someone […]
What Type A’s Always Miss When Setting New Year’s Goals
“Who in the world am I? Ah, that is the great puzzle.” Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland I visit my therapist just twice a year these days because I am feeling emotionally well. It’s good for me to keep in touch with her because I can never quite anticipate when the “wheels might come off,” […]
Book Excerpt: Be Available to Respond to Life
I began the book with the observation that many Type As are anxious about the prospect of retiring. The open space of retirement is daunting, especially for driven and achievement-oriented people, or even for those Type As who just like to be busy and occupied all the time. I have addressed the challenges of retirement […]
