Gaga for President

So, I'm pretty sick of fuckbook (facebook), twatter (twitter), have given up on myspace a few years ago, and am now looking for something of substantial value - thus I've turned to blogging.
I have become completely obsessed with Lady Gaga as many of my friends will attest to. I found an amazing quote of hers that I feel like I have been living by for the past couple of years.
"Once I grabbed the reigns of my artistry,
I fell in love with that more than I did with the party life."
Unfortunately, or fortunately I was a HUGE party girl at Fordham and needless to say paid the consequences of my nightlife abuse and got pretty burned out. Living in Manhattan for 4 years made me realize that NYC is about 2 things only, unless you are a tourist. And these 2 things are: restaurants and clubs. Well, I'm sick of both - so now where do I go? Yes, in a perfect world - if i was some trust fund baby, I could pack my shit up and move to California with no fear of not having a steady income and worrying about paying off my stupid college loans. But that's not the case, so what does one do to get out of depression of being an adult and having responsibilities...I turned to my artistic side and discovered a brand new world. I've recently began to think that to LIVE is to BE CREATIVE. I always had a talent for painting as a child but i never really developed it. I began to paint a few years ago and fell in love with what my right hand could do with some paint, a brush and a blank canvas! The feedback that i've been getting from my dear friends has been so tremendously encouraging and I am very thankful for your honest opinions and words of encourgement. I am submitting some paintings of mine to a gallery in NYC to see if any of them make the cut for an opening. My passion for art has opened my eyes to photography as well, since i tend to get most of my ideas from pictures i take or pictures i stumble upon in my friends' facebook albums. I absolutely love anything visual: photographs, paintings, film and one day would like to have my own production company that specializes in various aspects of visual art.
So, i guess you can say that I'm growing up as I become more aware of my own talents to waste time on instead of wasting it on the same routine of nightlife. In life, you have to be proud of your choices because in the end of the day you are your own judge. So it's nothing personal to those friends that feel like I've been distant and out of the scene. It's only because I am discovering and dedicating most of my time and nights to something I am passionate about besides my other favs: shots of patron, fashion, and clubs.

To conclude, here is a B&W photo that I took at Terminal 5 when Lady Gaga performed this past weekend. I think this is a really good candid photograph and i got really lucky with the lighting that gives it that professional look.
