Michael's Musings

I Can Go For Miles If You Know What I Mean
Michael Shinafelt

"I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

(I'm comin' up, you better)
I'm comin' up so you better get this party started

Get this party started

Makin' my connection as I enter the room
Everybody's chillin' as I set up the groove
Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat
Everybody's dancin' and their dancin' for me"  - Get The Party Started, Pink

"Yes" the party has started Minions! I am turning 60 on December 18th, thus I will be celebrating this milestone all month! Cheers!

Take your life and make it the best story in the world. Don't waste that sh!t. Words to live by.

FYI I manifested, but I also did the f#cking work, the more you know

Sorry I missed church I was busy practicing witchcraft, think about it, but not too much

That time you tried to pronounce the name of your medication, but accidentally summoned Satan...

I'm so festive, I bought a poinsettia for my end table at home, and aren't you happy???

When you think your Door Dash has arrived but it's a Jehovah's Witness, discuss

If they want to paint you as the villain, then strike a pose

Woman Crush of the Week - Sabrina Carpenter for speaking out about the White House using her song Juno, to promote ICE in a video, love her!

I'm "doing lunch" today at El Coyote as part of my month long Birthday celebration, that's all

Can someone gift me Alexander Skarsgard with a strategically placed bow on his person for my Birthday?

Hump Day & Chill

It's Christmas time in the city, the city of Los Angeles to be exact. Guess what this means?! "Yes" over the top Christmas decor and the elaborate promotion of Holiday Movies.

Hey, presents are the only thing they want you to spend coin on during the season. Thus let us Hump Day & Chill to Hollywood, hurray for Hollywood!

For me I love walking down the street and seeing a side of a building done up to promote a movie. It's part of the magic of living in the heart of it all. Trust me there is about one on every corner.

While running errands in Hollywood the other day I was walking down the street and there it was complete with Uber Lime Bikes as accessories a side of a building promoting the latest Knives Out Mystery "Wake Up Dead Man"

In the immortal words of Pee Wee Herman I took a picture so it would last longer.

Good thing I did, Hump Day & Chill Minions!

What If Sabrina Carpenter Made Grunge Pop Music???

Guess Who?

What if Sabrina Carpenter made grunge pop music? Think about it, but not too much because I have an answer to the question. 

She would sound like the Tender Misfit. Lyrically they are basically kindred spirits (refer to the image above) I've heard Tears Minions!

What's that you are asking? Oh, so you want to know what a "Tender Misfit" is? Well now, I believe that can be remedied by hitting the links below.

No need to thank me, you can simply spank me. Or something to that effect...

Mic Drop!

Seen In The Hood

"City sidewalks, busy sidewalks.

Dressed in holiday style

In the air

There’s a feeling

of Christmas" - Silver Bells

It's happening again, every year post Thanksgiving in my hood in the immortal battle cry of Mariah Carey "It's Tiiime!"

"Yes" Minions the Christmas decor has begun. Here is my favorite thus far it belongs to the neighbor two doors down from where I live.

It's tasteful, pleasing to the eyes and honestly the display could stay up all winter as they are not so specific to Christmas but more to the season. "Winter Lights" if you please.

Gird your loins the onslaught has begun!

Words To The Wise

Michael Shinafelt

Today I'm feeling myself and one of the things I feel is wise. Thus I'm going to bequeath with these sage words.

Live them, own them and be them.

Seize the day!

That's all...

IYKYK

Well it's the official start of the Christmas Season Minions and instead of Black Friday I'm going kick it off with a meme.

If you've seen the classic A Christmas Story and are familiar with the band KISS then this one will start your season with a laugh.

For the uninitiated, well you are on your own.

IYKYK...Ho ho ho!
