Male Peacocks are natures technicolor, they add some pizazz to any landscape. Here is one I shot at Hollywood Forever Cemetery yesterday before yoga.
Thus we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the Male Peacock! As you know the female of the species are quite unglamourous and dowdy.
All hail the peacock! Resplendent!

Did you know today happens to be National Paranormal Day?! Well now you do!
While I'm sure the day is self explanatory here is the intel on it:
"National Paranormal Day, celebrated annually on May 3rd, is an unofficial holiday dedicated to exploring the unexplained, including ghosts, UFOs, and psychic phenomena. It encourages believers and skeptics alike to share experiences, research supernatural tales, and consume media like movies, books, and documentaries focused on the unknown"
Who you gonna call today? Ghostbusters perhaps???

| Being Chill Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter |
Even though it wasn't Hump Day, it was Friday April 17th 2026 to be exact. Here are Madonna and Sabrina Carpenter being Chill backstage at Coachella where they performed together.
They also debuted their collab on the single Bring Your Love which drops tomorrow.
It's a good song and I'm sure it's going to be a huge hit for the Queen Of Pop and her Mini Me.
Personally I can't think of anything more sublime to Hump Day & Chill to, right!
Now get up and shake your booty!

Pay It Forward: is an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying the kindness to others rather than paying it back to the original benefactor. It is also called serial reciprocity.
The world needs more kindness and good deeds these days. So let's follow the example of Cookie Monster and "Pay It Forward."
While you may not have a cookie to give someone I'm sure you have something you can share, or do for another person that will make their day.
So let's bend it like Cookie Monster, shall we???
We Shall!!!

Instead of having a Kiki let's have a Booty Call, shall we??? We shall!!!
This Booty Call is brought to you by none other than the iconic Sharon Stone...
Leave it to this trailblazer to add her own special twist to it by spelling it "Bootie" in lieu of the usual "Booty"
I'm not sure there is much more I can extrapolate on this subject matter because we all know what the term means.
Get out and get yourself some!

RECENT STUDIO LP NOW AND THE FUTURE AND "THREE AGAINST ME" VIDEO
WATCH: “Three Against Me” (Official Video)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMZk7WhK0PU
Horace Pinker have also unveiled the official video for “Three Against Me,” a standout track from their latest full-length Now and the Future, out now via People of Punk Rock Records.
Built on driving guitars, airtight rhythms, and lyrics that balance defiance with reflection, “Three Against Me” captures the essence of a band that continues to evolve without losing its core identity. The video delivers a raw, unfiltered snapshot of Horace Pinker’s signature intensity and onstage energy.
Now and the Future marks the band’s first full-length since 2011’s Local State Inertia—a return that finds them revitalized, focused, and as melodic and ferocious as ever.
“Horace Pinker returns with Now and the Future, our first full-length since 2011,” the band shares. “Driven by punchy rhythms, sharp melodies, and our signature energy, the record reflects how we continue to evolve while staying true to our punk roots.”
Recorded at Bombshelter Recording Studio in Chicago with producer/engineer Dan Precision (Rise Against, 88 Fingers Louie), the album highlights the chemistry between Scott Eastman (guitar/vocals), Bryan Jones (drums), and Greg Mytych (bass/vocals). From the adrenaline rush of “Three Against Me” to the melodic hardcore punch of “Call It a Day,” the LP reinforces the band’s decades-long commitment to urgency, honesty, and craft.
The album features cover art by JP Flexner (Beach Slang), further underscoring its balance of grit, melody, and emotional weight. Confident and uncompromising, Now and the Future captures everything that has kept Horace Pinker a global touring force for more than three decades.

| Geena Davis & Madonna |
It took 34 years, but Mae Mordabito (Madonna) and Dottie Hinson (Geena Davis) who played baseball for the Rockford Peaches in A League Of Their Own reunited at Coachella.
They each participated in weekend two of Sabrina Carpenters headlining show. Madonna performed with Sabrina and Geena played an adult version of her.
Geena took to Instagram and posted the photo with this caption: "Mae - so happy to see you again! Love, Dottie"
"Yes" I saw A League Of Their Own in theaters, and "Yes" I enjoy the movie and being that it was a big hit the nostalgia factor for those who were there is strong with this reunion, IYKYK.
TGIF!

| "You've Just Crossed Over Into...The Twilight Zone" Michael Shinafelt |
"There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone" - Rod Serling, The Twilight Zone
Your clothes are making me uncomfortable. Please take them off.
Just looking for love. And a million dollars. Maybe a taco. And some tequila. The more you know...
Seeing Madonna and Geena Davis reunite at Coachella is in a league of it's own
One fan theory I hope is true about this season of Euphoria is that Jules Sugar Daddy is Nate and that is why he is having money problems.

With things being what they are, this gem from Iman on Instagram perfectly sums up my Current Mood.
Yeah, it's pretty much my mantra at this point and juncture me being what the kids like to call a "realist"
But there are worse ways to be and I'm sure I am not alone in this mindset, so there!
Happy Monday and Namaste. Oh and don't forget to F#ck Off immediately after.
Thank You!
