Hump Day & Chill

Always Remember...
Michael Shinafelt

Today is the Day of the Dead, so naturally we are going to commemorate it with a Hump Day & Chill.

Day of the Dead is to remember those who are no longer with us and to celebrate them and their contributions to our lives.

This photo is from last year's Day of the Dead celebration at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, hence the skulls in the background.

I did not attend this year, as it tends to be really crowded and I wasn't in the mood for such nonsense.

So let us Hump Day & Chill today by remembering those who are no longer with us.

Peace.

The Black Cat Says...

Mr. Black

Who says Black Cats are bad luck?! Not me, especially not today  Satan. Why not today? I'm glad you ask because Mr. Black, as I call him is here to let you know Purrrrfectly that tomorrow is Halloween!

Are you ready? I am, can't wait for the spirit world to open and to reconnect with it.

BTW even though that doesn't happen until he stroke of midnight on Halloween, I did celebrate Day of the Dead last night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

It was amazing to be a part of a long standing Spanish tradition.

Until tomorrow, scare ya later Minions!

Saturday Selfie

Freak Out!
Michael Shinafelt

Two more days until Halloween Minions!!! While walking I spied this hedge that reminded me of the one Michael Myers peers from behind in Halloween. Thus I decided I needed to take a Halloween themed selfie.

How do you like it? It's like a hybrid of Pennywise & Satan doing the Michael Myers creeper hedge move.

Well whatever your thoughts, it's definitely in keeping with Spooky Month.

Speaking of which, I will be attending the Day of the Dead celebration tonight at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. If you see me say "Hi" 

Here is the 411 on the event -

Day Of The Dead

Day Of The Dead

Today marks the conclusion of the Day Of The Dead celebration. "No" this has nothing to do with George Romero film in his zombie trilogy of the same name. 

For the uninitiated here's the 411 explaining the significance of it: Prayer and remembrance of friends and family members who have died

Well last year I celebrated by partaking in yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. "Yes" that's correct I took time to reflect and meditate in a place where there are actual dead people and no I didn't see any.

Honestly it was a truly amazing experience, a renewal if you will.

FYI I took the photo above when I was there last year. It was behind the instructor during class. Translation: that was everyone's view for the Day Of The Dead meditation.

What's that you say, am I going this year? No unfortunately I have to have an X-ray done on my left middle finger, it's wonky.

Mic Drop!
