"When I was a child I had a fever, My hands felt just like two balloons, Now I've got that feeling once again, I can't explain you would not understand, This is not how I am, I have become comfortably numb" - Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb"
Ever get the abovementioned feeling?! I sure have, but in the words of Barbara Streisand & Donna Summer "Enough is Enough!" BTW abovementioned is a legal term for those of you who think I pulled that out of someone's ass. "Yes" I am on the prowl and quite dangerous, deal with it!!!
Slippery When Hard
Seeing the magical Ariel Beesley Friday @ The Satellite - yeah, she's like a unicorn
Joe Jackson dead at 89 - he was Michael's father
Poor Heather Locklear - I really mean that
Kylie Jenner has a secret to "cake free" concealer - Ummmmmmm...
A hot NFL husband, yeah, that's what I need
Just kidding, I have a guy who's hotter than Georgia Asphalt
I love Freeform's The Bold Type! There I said it
Hello Kitty violates all sorts of natural laws 

That time when you are waiting to see the Dr. and they have Kim Cattrall & Andrew McCarthy on in Mannequin 
Did you ever wonder???
Nothing is worse than a needy ______ it's blank, fill it in!!!
When all else fails what is it you do?
Your Mama don't dance and your Daddy don't Rock-N-Roll - Damn! That's F#cking harsh!

Katy Perry "Go Seahawks!"

Katy Perry: You're Going to Hear Me "Roar" For Sure!

It's Superbowl 2015 Everyone! The Seattle Seahawks will battle the New England Patriots for the championship. The only sure thing about today's game is that Katy Perry will be performing the half time show and Idina Menzel will be singing the national anthem.

Also both Katy and Idina are rooting for my favorite and hometown team to win the Seattle Seahawks, Go Hawks! Yay!

Katy's reason for cheering on the Seahawks? "I love the Seahawks because of Russell Wilson so I think I'm going to go for them."

While were at it here are a few other sure things about what will happen during Katy Perry's half time show that she teased viewers with: 


Addressing Lenny Kravitz's guest appearance: "We've worked up something incredibly soulful. Of course, he brings the soul and it's just going to make the night even sexier."
    Katy will use land and water animals: "I'm probably going to be the only person in Super Bowl halftime history that will ever bring a lion and sharks to the show. It's going to be wild out there."
      Katy confirmed she will perform "Roar" and "Firework" and many more songs: "I can tell I will be playing those anthemic numbers. ... I have a lot of songs to cover on Sunday so there will definitely be some medley of sorts."

      Happy Viewing!
