It Wasn't My Fault


 Today I am going to rant about two unwanted obsessions I didn't see coming at me like an atom bomb. These 2 obsessions have changed my life forever. So It Wasn't My Fault I got obsessed with them.
  1. Lady Gaga.
This song started it all.
  Once upon a time back when Lady Gaga burst out onto the music scene, I hated her and I never heard any of her songs. I hated her because she seemed to be very weird with her strange outfits and what she wore to meet the Queen of England. Flash forward to the end of July 27th 2010. It was a Sunday and I had gotten off from work at 5. My Friend had invited me to go to the see a double feature at the drive in movie with his girlfriend. I agreed to come along. We went to go see Despicable Me and Salt. On the way down on the 41 minute drive the radio was on in the car when I heard a song called Alejandro. I thought to myself, damn this is pretty good. I didn't even bother me to ask my friend who was singing this song. On the drive back home the radio was on again, and yet again the song Alejandro was being played. I began to sing the chorus in my head. I really liked this song but at the same time was hesitant to ask who the artist was. So I arrived home around 1:30 AM. I could have gone on the computer and googled the song but I was too tired.
The Australian edition of the Fame Monster
   On Monday the song totally skipped my mind until Wednesday when I went to Dunkin' Donuts with my friend. When we got into his car Alejandro was being played yet again. So I asked him who is singing this song. He said Lady Gaga. I gave my self one of those slap on the foreheads like they do in the I could of had a V8 commercials.  That's it that there moment changed my life. I then became obsessed over Lady Gaga when I bought The Fame Monster at Walmart on Friday night. By the way I am one of Lady Gaga's few Straight male little Monsters. Buying that CD triggered me to buy The Fame, The Remix, an import The Remix, The Remix CDs of The Fame Monster Singles, 4 Lady Gaga posters, A t-shirt, wristbands, and the Australian uncensored version of The Fame Monster, The Cherrytree Sessions, and other remix EP's.
   Yeah Lady Gaga changed my freaking life. so my Lady Gaga CD collection is starting to catch up to my Nine Inch Nails CDs.
Snitsky says It Wasn't My Fault!
     2. WWE Smackdown Vs Raw series and Gene Snitsky. 
     It wasn't until mid December 2010 when I bought my first Smackdown Vs Raw game for PS2. I bought Smackdown Vs Raw 2010 new for $20 at Gamestop. Now if it wasn't for my friend at work who told me he bought SVR 2011 for PS3, I got interested in the game when I asked him about the Create A Wrestler feature. I asked him if it would be good for creating Lady Gaga. He told me that he downloaded a Lady Gaga CAW because he has online play and so he could create Trent Reznor to fight Lady Gaga. So After work I headed over to Gamestop and bought SVR 2010.
     I went home took a shower, ate and played SVR 2010 and then I went on the Internet to get a CAW formula for Lady Gaga. The rest is history after that day. I later proceeded to buy SVR 2009, 2007, 2006. Now on to Gene Snitsky. When I was creating a wrestler, I noticed that under Pennsylvania cities there was Nesquehoning and I thought why in the hell would Nesquehoning be on there. So the next time I worked I asked my friend why Nesquehoning was on SVR. He told me because there was a wrestler from there named Gene Snitsky. I live in Hazleton and I never even heard of Gene Snitsky. My friend told me that another coworker met him. After knowing that he is not in the WWE anymore, I decided to buy WWE toys after I bought the WWE diva Maryse at Kmart. The week after, Kmart was having a buy 2 get 1 free sale so I bought Kane, John Cena and I got Maryse again as my free figure. I was going to sell it to my friend at work but it backfired when he didn't have $10 on him. So I struck a deal that he would bring me his Snitsky figure for the Maryse figure. He gave me a bonus figure his double of Mattel's Big Show. I found that ironic because on SVR 2007 I tried career mode with Snitsky and My first match was with Big Show and I lost.

Born This Way Deluxe Edition Review

 On May 23rd I bought the deluxe edition of Lady Gaga's new album Born This Way and I have to say that this has to be her best work yet. Now we all know by now that the deluxe edition is no longer a Target exclusive so you can get this album anywhere. The standard edition of Born This Way has 14 songs. The deluxe edition has 17 songs plus a bonus disc with 5 remixes bringing the total to 22 songs.
The SE of Born This Way
The DE looks much cooler and Badass.
  1. The Artwork. The artwork for the deluxe edition is different from the standard edition. (From now on I am getting tired of typing deluxe edition and standard edition and I will be abbreviate them DE and SE for short.) The DE's artwork is Lady Gaga's head that is implanted on the motorcycle only zoomed to show her head. In addition the DE says Lady Gaga Born This Way on it compared to the SE with just Born This Way and Lady Gaga implanted on a motorcycle. If I had to pick a favorite cover I would have to go with the DE cover because it just looks so badass.
  2. The songs. The three bonus songs on disc one of the DE are Black Jesus+ Amen Fashion, Fashion of His Love, and The Queen. The album's five singles, are Born This Way, Judas, The Edge of Glory, You And I, and Marry the Night. It's a shame that Judas flopped. I was very disappointed to not hear it on the radio often as much as the other two singles. Back to the review I got a little bit sidetracked. I am not going to review the songs one by one just to let you know. The songs vary in sound from, some having a Nine Inch Nails industrial sound to a Mexican sound to an opera opening in Government Hooker. The sound of this album is different from her previous albums, The Fame and The Fame Monster. 3 of the songs are censored.in the DE, the songs that are censored are, Government Hooker which I believe is intentionally censored the other two censored songs are Bad Kids and The Queen. Now the remixes on Disc 2 are your typical Lady Gaga remixes, with the exception to the Born This Way Country Road version, where Born This Way is sung in a country tune and some of the lyrics are changed.
   3. My Opinion of Born This Way. I loved Born This Way. You can even say I went gaga over it. Excuse the pun. This is even more epic album over The Fame and The Fame Monster, heck it's even more epic than The Remix. This album is her best yet. If you know or follow Hess trucks you probably know the slogan The Hess truck is back and it's better than ever. Well I will modify that. The Lady Gaga album is back and it's better than ever. I especially love the fact that Lady Gaga had an industrial influence in making this album. After all Nine Inch Nails is one of her influences. I wonder what Trent Reznor would think of this album. The only dislike I have is the fact that 3 songs are censored. I hate censorship. I guess Lady Gaga is afraid of a parental advisory label on her album artwork or it is her label's fault. I would highly recommend Born This Way deluxe edition to any little monster out there.
