It's been a long time

It's been a long time, shouldn't have left you, left you without a dope beat to step to, to step to, to step to...

Okay, sorry about my lame Aaliyah snippet right there. How have you guys been doing? I know it has been a long time... over two years since the last time I posted on here. Hopefully, in the next few months, I will be posting more and more on here. I have had a lot of time on my hands to think about my life and I want to share it as well as the knowledge I have with the world.

As you can see, I've updated my blog, just a little bit. I've changed the name from Writings of a Prodigy, to Hashtag Gay. The reason for that is because if you guys know me... which some of you do. You know that on my Instagram, which is @adreyyy so go follow me... ;), all of my pictures I tag with #gay. It's like my thing. Everyone who I know always asks me, "Why do you always tag #gay?". I don't really know why I do that. I think it's probably because I'm an attention whore, which I don't downplay at all and I own, but it could be because there's so many things in my life that are gay that I like to put out there.

I like labels. Okay, maybe I don't but I have accepted labels. We put labels on everything. From the color of a crayon to the color of someone skin. Everything and everyone has a label. You have a label when they decide to name you before you pop out of your mother's womb. But when it comes to people, and really a majority of people, when you put a label on them they rebel or get their feelings hurt. Being called a faggot is hurtful but asking if someone is gay shouldn't be. Why not have a gay marriage? It's still a marriage, it's just categorized for certain people.

Being gay is not a choice. It's about as optional as the culture you are born into. Some people love it, some people hate it. The truth of the matter is, we all should accept it for what it is and move on with our lives. Putting 'gay' out there is shedding light on the fact that there are people out there who don't identify with everyone else, but do at the same time. We as a society need to break down these barriers and be happy with who we are and with the people all around us.

This blog is not a new one but an evolving one so I changed the name because I am evolving too. Hashtag gay is me. I am #gay.

I plan on updating this blog at least once a week for a month to get back into the fold. It's going to be able my thoughts on what it means to be gay, updates in my life, interests that I have and more. I'm really excited to get back into writing good and solid content for you and I hope that you will be with me for a long time. Here is to next week.

NEW SONG: Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"

Hey guys! Have you heard the new lead single off of Lady Gaga's upcoming album? It's called "Born This Way" and it came out yesterday! It's a great song. It's very madonna-esque. People say that it reminds them of Express Yourself... in which, yes it does but it I feel it's a tribute to Madonna. Because Madonna was the first to really break rules, and tell people it's okay to be who you are and Lady Gaga is just taking that and putting her own spin on it.

Everything Lady Gaga touches is gold. She is like a Modern Monster Queen Midas. This song has hit #1 on iTunes in 20 countries! And it just came out today! Wow! What an accomplishment for Lady Gaga, and she totally deserves it with this song.

It has a FANTASTIC beat to it that just makes you wanna dance to it. The message is so sincere and inspiring! It's another anthem for people who are different to just be happy with who you are. Just like Katy Perry's "Firework" and Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" in that sense. But Lady Gaga really does it in with this song because she calls out the races, and orientation and just everyone in general so most people can say it applies to them, if not all.

I love her little homage to Vogue in the bridge of the song. It's really cool. Then there's the little a capella section at the end in which she harmonizes with and it just ends the song on a happy note.

I am in love with this song so much and I AM gonna be putting up a cover on YouTube so watch out for that this weekend! It's gonna be amazing!
