Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, woah Whenever I'm dressed cool, My parents put up a fight. (Uh huh, uh huh) And if I'm a hot shot, Mom will cut my hair at night. (Uh huh, uh huh) And in the morning, I'm short of my identity. (Uh huh, uh huh) I scream Mom and Dad, Why can't I be who I wanna be? (Uh huh, uh huh) to be. I just wanna be myself, And I want you to love me for who I am. I just wanna be myself, And I want you to know, I am my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, I'm not a freak, I'm just here trying to play cool on the streets I've had enough, enough, enough, And this is my prayer, I swear, I'm as free as my hair. I'm as free as my hair. I am my hair. I am my hair. As free as my hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair, Hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. As free as my hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair Hair, hair, hair, Hair, hair, ha-ha-ha-hair. Sometimes I waltz around, Put on red highlights. (Uh huh, uh huh) Just because I want my friends, To think I'm dynamite. (Uh huh, uh huh) And on Friday rocks in, High school dance. (Uh huh, uh huh) I got my bangs too hot, That I don't stand a chance. (Uh huh, uh huh) a chance. I just wanna be myself, And I want you to love me for who I am. I just wanna be myself, And I want you to know, I am my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, this is my prayer, That I'll die living just as free as my hair. I've had enough, I'm not a freak, I'm just here trying to play cool on the streets I've had enough, enough, enough, And this is my prayer, I swear, I'm as free as my hair. I'm as free as my hair.

SONG OF MY LIFE.
I've always struggled with identity issues. About whether I should stick with my beliefs or conform & become a certain kind of person to fit in. My hair has always been an issue that is so related with this struggle. This song, just sums it up. My struggles with being myself vs being like everyone else. My parents/family being on my case for so many things I do(lookwise) which they never approve of.
Her first two lines probably illustrates the scene that occurs so often at my house.
My dad will be saying, "WHAT ARE YOU WEARING, IT'S HIDEOUS."
My brother will be saying,"WAH DAMN UGLY."
& my mum always disapproves of so many things I like & wish to wear.
Don't even bring up the fight about this one shirt....
Haters can hate & say Lady Gaga is autotuned trash that feeds the youth today rubbish. True, her tunes doesn't sound original, her vocals aren't fantastic. But one thing you can't deny that all her songs get you on your feet to dance!
I think a good song is a song that everyone can relate with. & I have to say, this song just sums up my life. ♥Mother Monster!
Zombie-istic.
The exact word I would describe myself. I spent the week working like a maniac,clocking in a 9am-9pm shift on one of the days. My hormones are going mental because it's almost the time of the month and my horribly unhealthy lifestyle has given me a rather sore throat & a headache.
I'm almost zombie like. Really. I don't want to talk. All I want to do is sit around listen to crazy,stupid music and shredshredshredshredshred my shirt.
& maybe rap some Nicki Minaj because Rebecca and I are going to have a second rap battle over the song Girls Fall Like Dominoes. (Our first rap battle involved Love The Way You Lie in our tutorial classroom @ NJC during a random free period. Man....those were the good times!)
I bet everyone feels zombieistic like me now. Waking up early, going to work. Returning home with little time for yourself so you just surf the net a little, sleep. Wake up & the cycle repeats.
Truthfully, I kinda hate this.
Yes, I am earning $$$$. (Something my parents cannot be more happy about) But the fact that I'm earning all these $$$$ for me to be able to travel somewhere (Bangkok? Hongkong? Whereever? ) is the only thing that's keeping me from quitting. It's the only thing that motivates me to perservere.
& when it's a particularly bad/slow/boring/dead day (which is like almost every other day), I really feel like giving up. This job/lifestyle isn't bad. But it just lacks excitement. It lacks challenge.
IT'S JUST FUCKING MONOTONOUS.
So I've decided. I'm going to work damn muthafucking hard to get a job that I truly enjoy. There's no way I will spend 30,40,50 years in a dead-end job.
Now that I have this goal, it's just the problem of me needing to get myself to focus, not procrastinate & not be stupid & retarded and give up whatever opportunities that come my way. I realised that I am someone who is prone to not living up to my expectations, not trying as hard as I can & giving up early for things I THINK may be out of my reach but are actually attainable.
Totally looking forward to my university life. I hope that I would be better with the start of this new chapter.☺
