But boy would she benefit from pulling back a little and editing her ideas down instead of throwing everything onto a track.  That said it does work at times thus I am giving her a C for her new release Born This Way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Standout tracks are Scheibe, The Edge of Glory, Judas and Black Jesus - Amen Fashion.  At 17 tracks of clubtastic tunes you have to encounter filler and if this collection dropped 5 or 6 tracks it would have been a far more cohesive and enjoyable listen.

I am trying to cleanse my body and soul.  Also keeping a much cleaner appearance and shorter hair cut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still  feel  hung up on love.  My friend Ian says I hold on to too many things that are out of my control and until I learn to truly love myself I can't love anyone else.   He is a true light for me right now.  I've never met someone so positive!  Maybe he can influence me to change...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have created many of my own scars and that is something I have to really work on this year. No one can hurt me as severely as I can hurt myself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Chris...I always cut too deep.

Where the High Priestess between her two pillars deals with realms beyond this Earth, the Hierophant (or High Priest) deals with worldly problems. He is well suited to do this because he strives to create harmony and peace in the midst of a crisis. The Hierophant's only problem is that he can be stubborn and hidebound. At his best, he is wise and soothing, at his worst, he is an unbending traditionalist. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Tarot Card are You?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flarn.com/~warlock/tarot"&gt;Take the Test to Find Out.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22324412-116502142608080612?l=lavalicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavalicks.blogspot.com/feeds/116502142608080612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22324412&amp;postID=116502142608080612' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22324412/posts/default/116502142608080612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22324412/posts/default/116502142608080612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavalicks.blogspot.com/2006/12/you-are-hierophant.html' title='You are The Hierophant'/><author><name>Gus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00792539326332376009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/guscq/DSC03319bw2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22324412.post-116484073037649880</id><published>2006-11-29T14:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-11-30T15:58:46.183-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Part deux - Montreal</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/6604/470/1600/393996/DSC01485.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt;

This is not normal.... Seeing that I have a pretty darn ferocious rottweilder in my front yard. I know something is up!  I get out my car to see plastic bottles and a cake splattered on the ground.  Nearby almost in the drain is a wallet.  I pick it up to see it belongs to my sister N's best friend D.  I look to my house and its in complete darkness and it shouldn't be....  I panic..because I am thinking my lil sister has just been kidnapped along with her friend.  You see I know she had left earlier with her.  I assumed this because given the number of kidnaps that occur in this country and the fact that the wallet has all the credit cards and money still in it.  I start dialing for my sister on my cell.....no response...I dial her friend...no response...I am just shaking all over.  I start calling Dad, other sis S, K, everyone I could think of....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally Dad gets a hold of them at her friends house....they were robbed by a couple punks.  Who apparently left behind D's wallet in their rush.  They still made off with my sisters purse and handbag with her house keys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I was on the phone with my father the emergency response police actually arrived at my house.  My sister called them from her friends house.  12 huge policemen armed to the hilt staring at me talking on my cell....  My dogs are going nuts...I can't hear a thing and they are asking me all kinds of questions I cant answer cause I don't know the full story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They eventually leave after I gave them the little info I did know and instructed me to direct my sis and her friend to the station immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Dad shows up at the house...I go off royally on him.  For many many reasons...seems like years of built up frustration of picking up the slack for his actions.  Its not pretty.  I won't go into specifics but the house is in disrepair and unsafe because of him.  I want to sell it and move my sis and mum to a safer neighborhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We change the exterior door locks (had spares) together and act like my screaming at him never happened.  I finally had a cold shower a few minutes ago and feel much much calmer now.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how was your Sat night?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22324412-116269747869974941?l=lavalicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavalicks.blogspot.com/feeds/116269747869974941/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22324412&amp;postID=116269747869974941' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22324412/posts/default/116269747869974941'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22324412/posts/default/116269747869974941'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavalicks.blogspot.com/2006/11/anger-dissipates.html' title='Anger dissipates......'/><author><name>Gus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00792539326332376009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/guscq/DSC03319bw2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22324412.post-116181530062197888</id><published>2006-10-25T15:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-10-25T15:36:56.736-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Then gone for......</title><content type='html'>Sorry for being a little tardy and also basically writing nothing of substance for a very long time.  There is so much going on right now in my world that I can't even seem to get anything done.  I should be happy and looking forward to my first trip to Canada. Instead I am feeling apprehensive and nervous about the whole thing.  The timing just seems off....but I am still going...regardless of how many balls drop. I need to see the light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now on to two topics in the news....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Madonna's adoption.&lt;/span&gt;  Leave her alone.  She fell in love with a boy and will give him more than any child could ever want. (And I am not talking about financial shit!) I do not for one moment believe she railroaded the father into giving up Davey.  Please Madonna adopt me next!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Adoption de la Madonna&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;La partir seul. Elle est tombée dans l'amour avec un garçon et le donnera plus que n'importe quel enfant jamais pourrait vouloir. (Et je ne parle pas de la merde financière) ! Je ne fais pas pour un moment la croit railroaded le père dans renoncer de Davey. S'il vous plaît Madonna m'adopte après !&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;New Jersey Gay Marriage ruling.&lt;/span&gt;  FUCK IT! Again somewhat disappointing.  I don't care what you call it...just give equal rights people.  Its fucking 2006.  Heck Canada, Belgium, France, and  the UK  haven't been wiped off the face of the planet for being more tolerant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nouveau Jersey jugement de Mariage Gay&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;LE BAISER !

Yeah she is very unoriginal but OH MY GOD its a fun cd...it just bounces!  From A Public Affair,Swing with me, B-O-Y  to a decent remake of You spin me round (like a record) its a real guilty pleasure. OK TRUTH BE TOLD ITS CHEESY! Its still FUN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All is right with the world again as I righted the ship and destroyed old Dixie 6/0 6/3 . Probably should have doubled bagelled her but I started experimenting with my topspin backhand a bit too much in the second set.  I ripped four winners in her first service game and then started moving her around like a yo-yo.   Though her greatest asset is her legs I always kept her off balance enough to stay in control of the points.   The only time I got in trouble was when I was trying to show off in front of A squared! Hehe I definately want to get another hit in with him before W comes back! And yes I want to do that for all the wrong reasons :P Dixie has him tomorrow as I have Alliance Francais....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22324412-115862892580126069?l=lavalicks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lavalicks.blogspot.com/feeds/115862892580126069/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=22324412&amp;postID=115862892580126069' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22324412/posts/default/115862892580126069'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/22324412/posts/default/115862892580126069'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lavalicks.blogspot.com/2006/09/night-ole-dixie-went-downa-public.html' title='The night Ole Dixie went down....A Public Affair!'/><author><name>Gus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00792539326332376009</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v82/guscq/DSC03319bw2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22324412.post-115828461976105842</id><published>2006-09-14T18:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-14T18:47:55.123-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Northern Bound</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6604/470/1600/flagcountryoutline.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6604/470/320/flagcountryoutline.png" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after what seems like an eternity of putting it off....J'ai acheté mes billets d'avion pour Canada.

Losing to the unheralded Benjamin Becker did little to dampen the career of the superb athlete that he was and the truly amazing man he became.  Sampras may have more titles but few have as much heart.  Not since Steffi Graf's triumphant win against the young Hingis at the 99 French Open have I cried so much watching a tennis match.
