Today should be a productive day, hopefully all goes well. Just when you think you are comfortable, when you have everything figured out, when you don’t want anything to change -- it changes. And then you’re confused again but you know that you can’t reverse it. I mean damn it I wish I could stop it and take everything back and never think about anything but that’s never my style. It’s always when things are going smoothly and then something pops up and you’re like OH SHIT WHY NOW?!

Anyway, that’s my rant. I need to get a bunch of stuff done today. Isn’t it funny when your bank sends you a different card, cancells your old one without telling you and you go to the store to buy something and it says “CARD CANCELLED”? I almost had a heart attack yesterday. All I could think of was that identity theft commercial where the grandma sounded like a trucker with that freaky voice and I’m all standing there wondring how on earth I’ll be able to get my money back to me again. Thankfully it worked out.

Anyway, off I go. Need to go get ready. Here’s a song that I woke up to today:

I’m going to write a review on what I saw yesterday before I get the chance to go read the other reviews and cloud my judgement.

My review for Gaga’s Edmonton show yesterday will be named “?!” A question mark followed by a BAM quotation.

The show started off with great techno so I got into it and thought “Oh this will be like this for the entire thing! I’m so in!” The beginning gave off a toxic, wild, dream- like Vegas nightclub club vibe with 20,000 people. You can check it out below (not my clip) It was just sick to hear live!

When she came out there was no spotlight on her so I felt confused about where/who she was. I was REALLY high up so that didn’t help…and then she started singing a new song that I didn’t know so I felt confused some more.

Then the fast paced songs kicked in with remixes and live singing which I thought made for a totally musically orgasmic combo. The outfits/arrangement/dancing? Eh, not 100% my thing. Again, I felt lost in some of the outfits that I couldn’t understand for the life of me. I realized that everyone was partying hard…but they also didn’t know what the hell was going on and didn’t care. So I threw my hands up and danced along.  The sold out crowd was completely wild and it was easy to get sucked into the roar of cheering and screaming.

There was one part where she was covered in blood calling out to “jesus” while the jesus statue came up behind her, she washed her hands and then fireworks came out of jesus. I tried to take it lightly but DAMN you have to be a pretty progressive person in order to brush that off. Or you can just be drunk. I wish someone had warned me that this wouldn’t exactly be a simple concert if you are planning on being sober. Her screaming about being free…was also interesting. I really do love her but I felt like the being a “freak” and being free was overdone. I get it, I’m free -- now let’s listen to some pop music and dance.

Overall I would call this show “art on stage”. It was a combination of theatrics, comedy, blood and gore, energetic singing, amazing techno, random classical-ish/horror music, religious views/opinions, drugs sex and rock and roll, jaw dropping piano playing, insanity, freak shows, lights and…just STUFF that made it both  completely confusing and completely genius. Her mind is a grotesque and shockingly fascinating thing, there is absolutely no denying how much of a prodigy this woman is.

Overall, I’m all for it, check it out if you want! I thought I was a pretty open minded person when I walked in but this did stretch me a little because of how much stuff she had coming at you. Don’t plan on it being like any other concert you’ve seen -- it’s just different! It’s intense in some parts, boring in others and very toxic and strange near the end.

I loved the part with the monster in “Paparazzi” although like usual, I don’t know why the monster is in THAT particular song. Never the less, I thought this was the strangest concert I’ve ever seen, I’d totally go again but this time I’d be prepared and watch the new person next to me in hilarity

Today is going to be great =) I’m on my way to the Lady GAGAGAGA show in Edmonton and I’m really excited! There’s something about the energy in the crowd when there’s a famous pop singer on stage – it’s wild =) I’m sure I’ll dance until I can dance no more.

I remember listening to her even before she got this big, and now I get to hear those songs super loud in a super crowded sold out show. YEAAWW bring it on! Time to go get my makeup and crazy outfit on, the time calls for it!

My dentist ended up being a super nice guy last time and didn’t charge for the expensive filling. I tell you, there are some crazy nice people in this world! I feel like I could visit that place every day now…or that could just be a scary sign that I need a life.

I wanted to go out today but I honestly feel too dead. I over killed it yesterday by being at the gym for almost 3 hours and getting light headed. The girl I met really pushed it and after all the weights and cardio I’m pretty sore today. I never stay for that long, that time frame is crazy. I’m there for one hour and a half -- max. I’d be damned if I went everyday too. I think I already did something to my motabolism and I’m SUPER hungry ALL the time now. I eat and then 2 hours later I am starving again. Same with water. Everything seems to burn off really quickly and I’m already naturally good at burning fat anyway so this is getting kind of strange. I want to be toned -- not lose weight like crazy.

Hmm…I think I need loud music in my life again. It’s been a while since my ears rang til 6am. Music by Taio Cruz has been my latest obession
