Michael's Musings

I tried to be good, but then I got bored
Michael Shinafelt

"There's something about you, baby

It happens all the time
Whenever I'm around you, baby
I get a dirty mind
It doesn't matter where we are
Doesn't matter who's around
Doesn't matter, I just want to lay you down" - Prince, Dirty Mind

Those who did me dirty always think my posts are about them. If the shoe fits, wear it, Cinderella!

Voom, Voom, Shebang! The more you know...

The Dow is crashing. Someone let Pam Bondi know so we can talk about the Epstein Files

Rewatched Labyrinth last night for the first time in along time. I'd forgotten how clever and edgy it is. "Yes" I especially enjoyed the edgy part.

Now is not the time to be a neutral bitch

Some people think I'm arrogant, who cares what peasants think

Due to personal reasons I will not be reincarnating on earth again

Take care of each other, that's all

Woman Crush of the Week - Jessie Buckley who makes an amazing looking Bride! Can't wait to see it tomorrow!!!

Pain isn't always punishment. Think about it, but not too much

My box on my Uverse TV died yesterday, luckily I have many apps

Be true to you, boop!

David Bowie is so hot! Yep, I said it

I'm off to get my Namaste on this morning

Hump Day & Chill

Kesha is having a great run presently with her hit album Period and a sold out tour, it's the comeback story everyone loves.

Today however we are going to Hump Day & Chill to her being an out spoken individual with a wicked sense of humor.

Seems like the Cretins in the White House decided to use her song Blow for a video of bombings. Yep, pretty repellent.

Thus she Tweeted this gem to them:

"Stop using my music, perverts" 

Ha ha ha ha ha! Think about it, but not too much...

Hump Day & Chill!

The Rose

I took this photo of a random rose laying at the side of a pond one day before yoga at The Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

What's really great about this is the many thoughts, feelings and stories it evokes.

For me it brings to mind the famous image of Ophelia from Shakespeare's Hamlet floating down the river in the painting by John Everett Millais.

That work of art always brings me a feeling of peace and tranquility. 

Heading into the day like...

Red Sonja

On March 24, journey back to the time of swords and sorcery when the fantasy epic Red Sonja makes its 4K UHD world premiere.

A spirit blesses her with the strength of a great warrior, and she trains until her master can teach her no more, leaving her ready to exact revenge. Can Red Sonja save the world from the Queen and her powerful relic, and will Lord Kalidor (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Conan The Barbarian) convince her that he is worthy enough to be her partner in this epic battle? The clanging steel of Red Sonja’s epic battles is accompanied by a rousing score from Ennio Morricone (The Good, The Bad And The Ugly).

"We Got The Beat"

The Go-Go's

"Go-go music really makes us dance

Do the pony puts us in a trance
Do the watusi just give us a chance
That's when we fall in line

'Cause we got the beat
We got the beat
We got the beat, yeah
We got it" - The Go-Go's, We Got Beat

The Go-Go's is one of my all time favorite bands. Their Freshman album Beauty and the Beat 1981 contained the fun times anthem We Got The Beat. It's still a dance staple today.

Get the beat this weekend...TGIF!
