“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. When I hear him discuss Lady Gaga, though, it’s obvious that his interest in her is […]
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 […]
“I Hate My Job. It Will Always Be Agonizing!”
This third article in my series on negative and irrational thinking addresses two common types of cognitive distortions, taken from Scott Burns’ book “The Feeling Good Handbook.” I know none of you would ever fall prey to any such faulty thinking, but bear with me anyway! Emotional Reasoning The first type of negative and irrational […]
How Type A’s Sabotage Their Investment Success
I love my Type A family and friends, I really do. They are so energetic and have such “can do” attitudes! Type As tend to be optimistic and proactive, and I prefer to be around people like that. I think you become more like the people you associate with. A “can do” and proactive approach […]
So Many People Suffering in Silence
There are tens of millions of people in the U.S. who suffer from mental and emotional disorders. Anxiety, depression, phobias, bipolar disorder, panic attacks, etc.—it is sad to think of so many people in such great distress. Most suffer silently and bravely, day in and day out. May God bless them and give them strength. […]
