Current Mood

Ally
Dua Lipa

With the attack on the LGBTQ community in Florida, not to mention other places around the world my Current Mood is one of Pride.

"Yes" Minions be proud of who you are and don't let anyone make you feel otherwise.

Hey, it makes it easier when we have the likes of Dua Lipa as an ally.

Thus marching into a new week, adopt a different attitude and proudly express yourself.

Keep on keeping and remember: If you can't love yourself, how the Hell are you going to love anyone else???

Flag Wave!

Weekend Vibes

I Can't Control It
Dua Lipa & Miley Cyrus

Since I'm feeling quite, shall we say, down with my bad self this weekend I felt like reflecting those "vibes" in a a single image.

Please welcome Miley Cyrus & Dua Lipa straight outta their video for their song Prisoner! Applause please!

While I won't break down the details of my "vibe" I am guessing you are getting a pretty strong impression of what it is, right here, right now...

Anyway, I've got to tend to my bad self and keep on keepin' if you know what I mean, and I think you do.

 "Strung out on a feeling, my hands are tied, Your face on my ceiling, I fantasize" - Prisoner

Michael's Musings

Let's Get Physical!
Michael Shinafelt  

"All night, I'll riot with you, I know you got my back and you know I got you, So come on (come on), come on (come on), come on (come on) Let's get physical" - Physical, Dua Lipa 

What does Dua Lipa's song Physical have to do with ringing in 2021? I'm not sure if it means anything to you, but for me it does. Hey, it's my column and I'll do what I want to, seriously! 

Moving on from 2020 isn't going to be like flipping a light switch, it's going to be more like running a marathon up a hill in San Francisco. Making way for a better future. It's going to be a challenge, but were up for it! Let's hit the Mother F#cking ground running Minions!

You always hurt the ones you love, I love you!

Let's hope 2021 sucks better than 2020

Consume mass quantities of Endorphins, you're gonna need em'! 

In the name of all that is Holy, bring back the gym in 2021!

Always have hope 

Please, you're not the only one that parties with Sex Demons

What am I doing for NYE? Being responsible, staying home and bingeing Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, so there! 

Hypoallergenic dogs, fact or fiction?

Woman Crush of the Week - Dawn Wells, I mean who didn't love Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island? Rest in power beautiful soul

Winter Solstice Queen

Hail The Queen!
Dua Lipa

"Don't look around, The leaves are brown, And the sky is a hazy shade of winter" Hazy Shade of Winter, Simon & Garfunkel 

Today is officially the first day of the Winter of our discontent. Buck up the year is almost over, in the meantime check out the ever so talented Dua Lipa wearing all white on her recent Saturday Night Live gig.

Dua is Winter chic and the perfect way to represent and kick off the Winter Solstice. 

I had merely heard of Ms. Lipa prior to her Future Nostalgia album. Which I gave a listen to and LOVE!

Thus I will also being listening to Lipa (say that three times fast) today while looking at her in her Winter finest to "celebrate" the first and shortest day of the longest year.

Fingers crossed it the kick off for Winter doesn't feel like a year unto itself, that's why I getting down with Dua to help make the day more jolly.

Mic Drop!

"Breathe You In 'Til I Hallucinate"
Michael Shinafelt

"I hallucinate when you call my name 

Got stars in my eyes, And they don't fade when you come my way

I'm losing my m-m-m-mind" - Hallucinate, Dua Lipa

You know how ever so often a song gets stuck in your head and you can't get it out? Ya know, Out Damned Song!!! This week, you guessed it Hallucinate via Dua Lipa is that song. There are way worse ones I could be burdened with to be sure. At least I enjoy this one, but there have been those times where that one annoying ditty is lodged in your mind, Baby Shark anyone? Anyone??? 

Since last week we finally have a new President elect and the first woman Vice President ever...Yay!!!

I went to an Elephant Preserve while I was in San Antonio last week. It was a great experience learned a lot, got a photo taken while I was holding the Elephant's trunk...was there with family, good times!

Law & Order: SVU premieres tonight - Can I get an amen???

You say you found Jesus?! You're still a whore

We now know how fascism dies. Between a dildo shop and a crematorium. 

This race has come down to a WAP, trust...

One should live their life in such a manner that the entire planet does not dance in the streets when they lose their job. Just sayin'.

Dear Obese Turtle - You're Fired!

Woman Crush of the Week - you knew it had to be Dua Lipa since her song is on a loop in my mind, right?!

Knowledge isn't answers, rather questions inside questions, forever

Mary needs sugar in her life if she is going to Watusi with the gang

I got on my scale and screamed, "Stop the count!" Didn't work there either 

Murder Hornets inhabit the White House at present, think about it, but not too much

Michael's Musings

The Quarantine Shuffle
Michael Shinafelt

In this weeks episode of As The Quarantine Turns I got stimulated yesterday. "Yes" that's correct minions, my stimulus check got deposited directly into my bank account. Thanks Nancy Pelosi!

What's that? Yeah, it's time to move sideways, as the world is these days...

WTF? This week on Vanderpump Rules why don't we do an infomercial for LVP's cocktail garden at Caesars Palace? That's exactly what they did, blech!

Overheard: I am not arm candy, I don't shave my pu$$y 

Behind every sh!tty meme is a person that tried to make you smile

You think Quarantine is bad check out the Puddle Of Mudd cover of the Nirvana classic About A Girl. My ears are still bleeding!

Need a mask? A B Cup works better than a D Cup. That is all.

#TBT #ThrowbackThursday Remembering the days when you could find toilet paper at the crocery store - sigh

The longer Quarantine goes, don't you think Jack Nicholson held it together pretty well in The Shining?

Don't let the cat out, no matter what it tells you

Woman Crush of the Week - Dua Lipa because Future Nostalgia is music to my ears

If last night's premiere episode of this season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is any indicator of how the rest of it is going to go - I'm all in!

Give it a name: It's called self care

It took a pandemic for me to learn _________ tell me, by filling in the blank
