Under Pressure

Got Pressure?
Annie Lennox & David Bowie

"It's the terror of knowing what the world is about, Watching some good friends screaming, "Let me out!" - Under Pressure, David Bowie & Queen 

For some reason the song Under Pressure was playing in my head when I woke this morning and judging by these lyrics from it I'm sure we can collectively understand why with all the bonkers things happening in the world.

Thus I pulled up the David Bowie, Annie Lennox & Queen performing it on YouTube and knew it's what you all need to kick off your week. 

My Monday gift to you.

You're welcome!!!

World AIDS Day

World AIDS Day
Annie Lennox

It's World AIDS Day today - this is to remember as well as search for a cure. While having HIV does not mean you will contract AIDS and people on medication can live healthy lives thanks to Western Medicine. There are many parts of the world that isn't true.

This day is to remember and never forget those who came before us and were ravaged by the disease and did not have the scientific advances we have today. It is also to know that in some countries it is still and epidemic.

Thus I bring you one if my favorite Divas & Activists Ms. Annie Lennox who works tirelessly to find a cure. Hit the video for he song Sing below that addresses it. 

Remember everyone is going through something, try to be kind to one another...

"This is the book I never read, These are the words I never said, This is the path I'll never tread, These are the dreams I'll dream instead" - Why, Annie Lennox

Since I am still on the mend from surgery and will be for a spell it gives one time to ponder ones stuff. I have been loving the forced upon me break from the world around me. I have been told by friends I seem much lighter. Well they are correct, I am. 

PS I took the selfie for this weeks column a few minutes ago. Gotta think of some things I can do to keep in shape whilst at home any input is welcome 😎

The only film I was looking forward to seeing this summer is finally here - Once Upon A Time In Hollywood... you know where I'll be for part of this weekend.

Why is that man's booty so interesting???

Insane thy name is Camille Grammer 

When the moon hits your eye, beat it down!

If your cup of coffee was a sex organ, would you add milk or sugar? Asking for a friend...

Watched Funny Games with Naomi Watts & Tim Roth last night. Quite disturbing I must say, and I just did.

Printed napkins are an abomination, only white ones are utilized in my presence

Woman Crush of the Week - Margot Robbie all the way - Woot!!!

Anyone else naked right now?

My beauty secret? Cursing like a sailor 

If you don't have anything nice to say, go sit next to the rattlesnake on the far left. The one on the far right is deaf.

Transparent Social Media Manipulation of the day: #ClintonBodyCount is trending on Twitter, uh, yeah, right.

It's too darn hot

Stick a snow cone in your butt

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful at:

"Cold is the color of crystal the snow light, That falls from the heavenly skies" Cold - Annie Lennox

Yes it's summer, but why am I feeling so cold? Well this past Tuesday we Americans celebrated July 4th. It was the 241st Birthday of our country, a celebration of a break from tyranny. Yet in 2017 certain people with brain disorders voted it back in. 

Thus I told people on my social media outlets to celebrate their independence, that is what will keep us all strong, shall we continue? Fer sure!

File this under things that never get old: "See Darlin' You Are A Whore" - Cristal Connors, Showgirls

It's official, I am the booty whisperer 

Admit it, kale sucks

Annie Lennox was recently mistaken for a promising new singer. Ugh, millennials.

Stop calling Kelly Clarkson fat

Always remember, your neighbors are cray

How Many Fuxs Do I Give?

Dear Adam Lambert, I'd give you more than "Two Fuxs"

My Quick Take On The Grammy's

Annie Lennox - Queen of the Night 

Opening with AC/DC pleased this Rock N Roll dudes heart, yes, it truly is a Highway To Hell people! 

While I was a huge Madonna fan once that was so Confessions On A Dance Floor ago.

Madonna so sucked last night it was like a vacuum on it's last legs - I am over gay men who are drooling over her performance. (hey being one I have a lot of them on my Facebook page, so this is first hand experience.)

Annie Lennox was IT last night, she had the last werd! 

Have loved her since the Eurythmics and all of her solo work is bomb! 

Although Hozier is very talented I was annoyed and over hearing his song Take Me To Church. My spin instructor has been playing it every class for the last 3 months, I go Saturday and Sunday, do that math!

Note to Kanye West, quit always defending Beyonce you jackhole. She was tre' boring last night. If people weren't already asleep by the end of the show, they sure would have dozed off then. 

Taylor Swift, quit getting down, white girl you have no rhythm and it's uncomfortable when the camera cuts to you and you pretend to. 

Katy Perry is a lovely and gracious loser.

Congratulations Sam Smith, the appeal is lost on me.

Love Beck, but I did not even know he had an album out last year.

Jessi J. & Tom Jones, that was cool. Not a show stealing performance like Annie Lennox, but fifty shades of cool none the less.

Pentatonix so glad you won, you deserved it for your Daft Punk medley.

Yeah, I'm done, I said it was a quick take, capice? 

Until next year!
