A Gaga Finish 1/19/12

• After a rough start to my day yesterday -- I won't rehash all the details, but rain and roaches were involved -- I had a Gaga finish.  Lady Gaga!  I did karaoke for the very first time and sang "Born This Way" at Pop's Place on 6th Ave South.  I sucked, I know I did.  Missed words, off key, out of breath.  But I did it, even though my gut was rolling like a tumbleweed and not from the chili dog I ate.  Yes, I broke my vegetarian vow and scarfed down a hot dog.  And it was delicious.  So were the Heinekens.  Felt so good to face my fear and stand up and sing.  Even threw in a few bootie wiggles.  Jennifer, the DJ, said I picked one of the hardest songs for my cherry-oke experience and I did OK.  That's good enough for me.
• The sun is out this morning -- finally!  And 60s are forecasted for the weekend, so my world is feeling a bit brighter.  Time to get to work.
