As the title suggests, I'm starting to crave that "big dose of bullshit" Lady Gaga talks about in her interviews and concerts. "Big dose of bullshit? But why? Who am I? What does it all mean? Blah" Well, I'll tell you what I mean. I'm talking about walking around completely DELUSIONAL about yourself, about how great you are and what amazing things you can and WILL accomplish. THAT bullshit. Its bullshit because right now its not the truth. I have to keep trying and going at it until I MAKE IT true. The truth is boring, the lie is better. This is what Gaga talks about. It sounds crazy, therefore, it should work. We all know that crazy people with crazy ideas are the ones that make it and change the world. So, why haven't I made it or changed the world yet? Maybe its because I'm not a 10yr old girl singing a cover of "Born This Way" and playing the piano. Maybe its because I'm not a young boy singing a cover of "Paparazzi" at my school's talent show and playing the piano. Maybe its because I'm not an Italian girl from NY who started playing piano at the age of 4, got early admission to a prestigious music school, dropped out to pursue my dream and went on to become a phenomenon. What? I sound jealous/bitchy/pissed? Nah. I'm simply making an observation of how playing the Goddamn piano almost makes an instant success. After all, it IS the common denominator, right?
***NOTE: This is not a serious post. Do not take it seriously. And yes, I did quote "Easy A" in the beginning.
Stay frosty.
It's true that "fake it 'til you make it' was Gaga's mantra, the lie for which she killed. It's also true that playing piano obviously gives you a big edge. Therefore, the clear lesson here is to fake playing the piano until you're discovered and become famous. Then you can either afford piano lessons, or better yet, hire yourself a pianist so you can do whatever it is you're good at. Problem solved. :)
