Pleasure Is A Radical Act
Michael Shinafelt

Pleasure is a radical act. Let that sink in. In these off kilter times why is it we feel bad about making ourselves feel good?

We not only do ourselves a disservice by not doing so, we do those and the world around us dirty as well. The energy we put out into the world matters. Pleasure should not be a radical act, yet it is. Moving forward with pleasure...

Remember everything is peachy keen. Peachy F#cking keen!!!

Admit it. At least one time in your life you seriously tried to move an object using the force

Show of hands who thought Sutton's "incident" on RHOBH last  night was 100% staged? ✋

Ever feel like you are in an Alternate Universe? I know I did yesterday when I walked 1.5 miles home from brunch at the Alcove in Los Feliz. I had my usual the tuna melt with truffle fries and a margarita. Then I proceeded to walk home because it was such a beautiful day (I took an Uber there) and the next thing I knew I arrived at my place and have no real memory of the walk home other than it was tranquil and I felt like I was being guided by a higher power.

Did I go mad and heal some buried wounds??? Perhaps, or...time for some aMUSEment!!!

#ANALBUMCOVER I read it wrong too, great minds think alike

I take super hot showers to practice burning in Hell, the more you know... 

Tis a glorious day to be a twat, that's all

While I think the title is terrible I am intrigued by the upcoming horror movie I Saw The TV Glow currently with a 90% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes

Alright who is with me when I say Dorit Kemsley needs to get the boot from RHOBH?

No Dark Sarcasm
Michael Shinafelt

 All in all, it's just another brick in the wall...I'm feeling my provocative side of late, thus I am retalitating against being just another "brick" today (and every day for that matter) that's it, that's all.

So, what's on your agenda today? All hail dark sarcasm! Time to get it Minions!!!

I'm not just going to Hell...I'm going to Hell on a full scholarship, so there!

Sometimes we ought to go mad, so we can heal buried wounds

Overthinkers at 3am: Where the Hell is my Birth Certificate?!?!

Dear music, thank you for always clearing my head, healing my heart, and lifting my spirits. 

So how about that anti-climatic season finale of RHOBH last night???

BTW Spread cheeks, not hate

Enjoy the meaty peaness, think about it, but not too much

This week's earworm? Padam, Padam by Kylie Minogue

Life's Too Short To Obey All The Rules
Michael Shinafelt

Life's too short to obey all the rules, and if you do, you miss all the fun!!! That's correct Minions live your life on your terms and break the rules you can, because no one is getting out of here alive.

What's that  you say? Why am I being so morbid? Oh I am being quite the opposite of that, it's called living my best life, and I truly have been for a while now. Sometimes you need a reminder to continue to do so. Some of us need to be encouraged to just do it, putting my best foot forward in gratitude, let's hit it!

Please, test that assumption and then take note of the results aka How to professionally say: F#ck around and find out, the more you know...

FYI Don't count your chickens because nobody cares how many chickens you've got

If you had to lose your virginity to one item off the Taco Bell menu what would it be?!?! Mine? Mexican Pizza

Question: Why would Satan torture people in Hell for disobeying the same God he disobeyed??? Think about it, but not too much.

Hope you all bought yourself flowers and had a Happy Valentine's yesterday!

Winner of my favorite Valentine card yesterday? A Saltburn themed one with an image of Barry Keoghan saying: I'd Drink Your Bath Water

Hey person that just got slightly angry with me for not remembering that we'd already met be...more...memorable, that's all

The Silence of the Lambs was released 33 years ago yesterday! Classic!

Woman Crush of the Week - Kristen Stewart, love this photo from her Rolling Stone cover story shoot! Can't wait to see Love Lies Bleeding!!!

Fun Fact: Did you know I am a big fan of Lana Del Rey? Now you do

Taylor Swift is the second coming of Christ, fight me on this (for those of you who may not get this is a joke in response to certain absurd conspiracy theories regarding her, it is)

Speaking of which, looks like Travis Kelce is Europe bound with Taylor Swift for her eras tour. Now that's the way to celebrate winning the Super Bowl!!!

When someone disturbs my energy with their drama I exit stage right

I'm off, wonder what rule I will choose not to obey today?!?!

In my defense the moon was full and I was left unsupervised...this is what transpired and I'm sticking to it! 

In other news one of the first people to ever befriends me in Los Angeles passed away unexpectedly yesterday. Photographer and Author Jay Jorgensen no one is quite sure why yet. With his passing and the one year anniversary of my Mom's transition recenlty it has been a time for reflection indeed. Time to crack that whip and muse Minions!!!

Wisdom has been chasing you, but you have always bee faster. Think about it, but not too much

Outgrow and depart from certain eras of your life with a gentle sort of ruthlessness

Sunday Funday

Lazy Sunday
l-r
Me, Joe Waters & Rua

Last Sunday I was visiting my sister and her husband in my home state of WA. She caught this pseudo candid shot of us on the couch with their dog Rua (pseudo candid shot meaning we didn't know she was going to take it, but looked up when we saw the camera.) 

Hence Sunday Funday! Indeed it was, seriously what's better than drinking beer, laying on the couch and chilling with the TV on?! I ask you? Nothing I say!!!

Honestly I don't recall what we were watching, which means I wasn't interested and was on my phone LOL! But really it was all about hanging out, enjoying each other's company and relaxing.

Everyday should be like Sunday Funday!

Justify This!
Michael Shinafelt

I don't know about you but I'm feeling yummy today. I just returned from some much needed R&R and closure, and as they say my batteries have been recharged. I am now officially ready to forge a new path for myself. 

This also means that I have a new motto, the bottom line as it were. Like it states above "Justify This!" What's the motto? F#ck around and find out...that's all. Time to justify some more random things...

It's like she's in this giant condom, discuss...

One thing I am for sure doing in 2024 is letting go of my old grudges in order to make room for newer, stronger grudges

Small circle, Private life, Peaceful mind

FYI Even cowgirls have unmanageable diarrhea

Always remember Minions you are too fabulous to fit in!

So the actor playing Ken in Barbie gets an Oscar nomination and the actress who plays the title character does not. Make it make sense, oh wait it does...Misogyny is still alive and well

Finally got around to seeing Cocaine Bear - it blew, literally and figuratively 

In other news Horton Hires A Whore, the more you know...

Woman Crush of the Week - congratulations to Annette Benning on her much deserved 5th Oscar nomination for Nyad. Perhaps the 5th time will be the charm???

I won't let you leave until you've tried my tart

Clubs are extremely overrated. I'd rather be at home baking cookies and sucking d!ck!!!

Loving Crystal 2.0 on RHOBH, I suspect this has always been who she is, she's simply kept it hidden until now

Went putt putt golfing for the first time in forever this past week. I sunk the ball in 2 strokes on most of the greens, and the couple of other greens that were left 3 strokes, I'm King of the World!

"Reach out and touch, Somebody's hand, Make this world a better place, If you can" - Diana Ross

"Yes" I know I am not touching somebody's hand, that's a sweet old fashioned notion, fer sure. My thought is reach out and touch somebody anyway they want it. Hand holding is tre passe.

A little Mind F#ck to change things up is always good for the soul, if you get my meaning and I'm sure you do. Thus we are Musing on Minions!!!

Sorry you had a bad day, you can touch my dick if you want

Silencio or Vito???
Michael Shinafelt

OK, so I'm back from the other dimension known as the Holiday Season and as promised full columns are now the rage again. 

While I'm not going to say 2024 is my year, or new year, new me. I do know I have been getting progressively bolder with the passing of time. So you have that to look forward to from me. Hence the experimental selfie portrait above. I was told it's very Sopranos, I was thinking it was more along the lines of something from a David Lynch film, thoughts? 

Raise your glasses and gird your loins let the musings commence!

Never the less they persisted, and found out I assume...

Don't you hate it when people compare Freddie Mercury to God? I mean God is great, but he's no Freddie Mercury

Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe
Michael Shinafelt

While catching Tender Misfit last night at Hotel Ziggy in West Hollywood, CA I spied a neon sign in the corner of the bar the said "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" - This spoke to me on several levels. Of course there is the obvious one that reaches out to everyone on that basic feral level.

Anyway moving into the rest of November it's going to be my official/unofficial motto. Translation: Watch out when you are around me, I'm not gonna take any of your lip! Enough said...

Tender Misfit brought it at Hotel Ziggy last night! If you weren't there, why not???

Please don't underestimate my ability to delete your number and act like I never met you

They laughed at my doodles, I laughed at their chalk outline

FYI after you die you will poop a little, the more you know...

If it's no making me happy, making me money or making me better, I'm busy.

The world is full of Eves, be Lilith!
