Mike Lawson's Storytelling Blog - Part 4

This is the one that is disgusting.


This week on the audio version of What Some Would Call Lies I tell the story of when I was super vulgar and nasty…out of spite.  Plus I give some well-deserved shout-outs.

It’s Monday! So here is my new mantra on my mirror for the week.  Each week I write a little inspirational message on a post-it and put it on my bathroom mirror.  Throughout the week I try to focus on this message to get me through the week.

This is the one where GaGa speaks to me.


After catching the new Lady GaGa video for Marry The Night I couldn’t help but see the parallel between the monologue in the beginning of the video and the title of this blog.  She basically says that the past, to her, is like an unfinished canvas and the way she finishes the work of art is by telling the story in the way she remembers it – which may or may not be factual.

Yep.  GaGa tells what some would call lies:

It’s cool that I’ve received three messages that pointed out that beginning of this video reminded them of me and my blog.  There are worse people to be compared to.
