The Random Life Blog!
I know... we'll think of a better name eventually! My good friend, Samantha Lui (whose blog you can find here) created the blog for me and my fellow journalism student friends to talk about... random stuff. Hence the name. She blogs more often than any of us because she's one of the most dedicated journalists I know and she's an awesome blogger.
If you are a fan of everything random, have a look :)

Lady Gaga's Born This Way: On the right track?
I know I haven't updated in a while because I've been so busy with school, life, and all that amazing stuff.
Anyway, Lady Gaga's much anticipated song Born This Way was released at 6 a.m. last Friday after almost a year's anticipation.
However, it seems many fans and non-fans are polarized about how they feel about the track.
The song, which discusses acceptance of gays and generally accepting yourself, has been criticized for ripping off Madonna's 80's hit Express Yourself. Many comments on the YouTube audio page have said that the song didn't live up to the mass hype preceding its release.
Lady Gaga fans stand by the track similarity to Madonna. One YouTube user, iluvcheezitsheyhey, said the song was "a more danceable version of Express Yourself"
I must say I am one of those who love the song! I haven't stopped dancing to it all weekend. I personally did not expect myself to like it so much.
Whether you love or hate the song, you can't argue with the fact that it's already hit #1 on iTunes and that it has an extremely positive message, whether gay, straight, or bi.
Since I was in such a good mood the day it came out, I decided to upload and provide a video of myself dancing to the song for the lovely internets! Enjoy the lulz.
