Dear Gaga: As a regular human being, I would like to thank you for existing. I am a DIY pop musician from Podunk, North Dakota. I would be lying if I said I was a fan from Day 1, and that would be a huge injustice. But you, Lady Gaga, have proven yourself as an artist, which is rare for me. If it weren't for you, I would have given up a long time ago. But now, at 24, I'm scared my music is becoming more a waste of time than anything. I don't know that you'll ever actually read this. I don't expect you to because I'm sure you're overwhelmingly busy, but if I could just get some kind of response as to whether or not you think I'm wasting my time, I'd be forever grateful. Visit www.reverbnation.com/codyblotter to hear some of my tracks. I know this sounds like a shameless plug, but in all honestly, I'm on the edge of just calling it.... In fact, I'm considering deleting this whole letter... I'm in a really depressing place. "I'll never write a song, won't even sing along...." If this found its way to you, then thank you for your time. In music, art and love, Cody
