Michael's Musings

Go Ahead, I Dare You
Michael Shinafelt
"When you've erupted, you're totally destructive (Don't drop bombs)" - Liza Minnelli, Don't Drop Bombs

This is what happens when you have two narcissistic DICKtators running countries, bombs are being threatened to fly in a pissing contest about who has a bigger one.

Well between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un I am 100% positive I have the biggest one. So let's have some fun shall we?

Screaming Migraine would make the best band name ever!

Shout out to one of my BFF's Karen Castrischer-Stegall for following Depeche Mode all over Europe and visiting Dracula's Castle in Transylvania (I'm so jealous about the latter, darlin')

Real Housewives of New York Countess Louann ended her marriage to Tom (whatever the f@#k his last name is) in only seven months. Like no one saw that coming.

Taco Bell will destroy anyone's anus

Poop emoji's remind me of those scrubbing bubbles commercials 

They're coming to get you...Everyone!

Best graffiti I saw all week - Shady 

Does anyone else think that Tori Spelling needs to have her tubes tied?

I love tapeworm, it's a slimming thing

Dear woman who was upset about Usher supposedly having herpes and not telling you after you allegedly did him. You didn't get it, how do you know he has it???

You know you are getting old when one of the premiere playwrights of your time, Sam Shepard passes away.

And there you have it another week of As The Stomach Turns...

Drop F bombs with me at:

Get To Know Zachary Webber

Zachary Webber
Actor Zachary Webber is one cool dude. How do I know? I have co-starred with him on stage in a two person play. Since then Zach has kept very busy in his chosen career. Delving into everything from voice over to comedy and of course film. I knew when I met Zach he was going places. He has not proved me wrong. He recently had a role in Meg Ryan's directorial debut Ithaca which starred her and Tom Hanks. Zach is here to answer ten random things I have thrown at him. I can't wait to say "I knew him when!"

MS: Ithaca
ZW: I did a scene with Sam Shepard, and I personally made him break while improvising. It is and may always be the greatest moment in my career. I could have died on the spot. I doubt he remembers my name.

MS: Texas

ZW: It's my home, and it's where my heart is, or at least pieces of it. There's nothing particular about Texas if you grew up there and weren't meant to stay. The cows and the food and the bigotry are the main components, and if you ascribe to them all, you stay. I had to go to the big cities. I had to challenge everything I knew, and I still am today.
Rhinestone Cowboy?!
MS: Sasquatch Comedy
ZW: My best friends. Sasquatch has become my rock. I don't know where I'd be today without them.
MS: Barbie Dream House
ZW: My sister had one. Even I, an 8 year old boy, was sort of mesmerized by the thing. I had my own version at the time, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sewer Lair. But the Dream House was so big. The allure of having a house with a beautiful woman must have started there.
MS: Meg Ryan

ZW: I was enamored with Meg my whole life. When Harry Met Sally is still my favorite movie. She's as kind and gorgeous as you'd expect. One of the nicest people I will ever meet.
MS: Romance Novels
ZW: I never knew they would be the launch pad for my career. Somehow it has become my day job to read these books. If you'd told me when I was 16 that having a sex voice would earn me money I would have scoffed, and my voice would have broke in the process.
MS: Singing

ZW: Always a passion, never a practice.
MS: Puppy Love
ZW: 😎 I have a hard time imagining this one right now. I've known love, but it's always indelibly tied to heartbreak. I'm waiting for puppy love that stays young, as love should. I've always been with people who were dead wrong for me, who I loved deeply. My recent breakup is a testament to that, at an insane level. I had feelings I never knew I could feel. It was such immense passion, but only that. I think of leaves falling and her face, and I just cry. But we were wrong for each other. It's a sad truth everyone must face at some point. Maybe not everyone. But I'm not the type to hide from love. I dive in, at times to my detriment.
MS: Burning Man
ZW: It didn't change my life, it served my life in the moment I needed it most. I needed to be away from the world and see what genuine goodness could be. That can't be taken away. Coming back to earth has been very hard though.
MS: Favorite Drink
