The Facts Of Life

Michael Shinafelt |
Hello and Happy Monday Minions! This was me yesterday have a quesadilla and a large Margarita rocks, no salt at Home State on Hollywood Blvd. It's my favorite morning thing to do after all.
Aside from enjoying what a beautiful day it was I remember when I was in yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery and the objective of the class was to know that even though life is good there are always bad things to counteract that and to accept those as well.
Well that is something that has been the best part of being in my 50's is that I do see things that way and thus it does make navigating life much easier. Just a little wisdom from me to you heading into the week.
You take the good you take the bad and deal with it...The Facts Of Life!
As Buddha would say: "Peace comes from within"

My toxic trait is that if they opened Jurassic Park I would still totally go
" As a little girl growing up in Chippewa Falls, I never could have imagined that I'd be taking on the richest man in the world for justice in Wisconsin, and we won!" - Susan Crawford

Speaking of which Happy Belated Birthday to Christopher Meloni, who knew 64 could look so Zaddy!

The Wizard of Oz is 86 years old! If Dorothy were to encounter men with no brains, heart or courage, she wouldn't be in Oz. She'd be in D.C.

I'm Filthy & Gorgeous Michael Shinafelt |
"Sex is a poetic act, it’s a metaphor" - Frank (Sam Rockwell), The White Lotus
In case you aren't partaking in Season Three of The White Lotus, episode five which aired Sunday was how shall one put it? Chock full of carnal knowledge. The less said the better it's a see it for yourself type of to do.
Anyway said episode is still living rent free in my head, so guess what??? That's correct you are going to get The White Lotus treatment this week. So buckle up Minions here we go!!!
Today is the first day of Spring, happy equinox!
Frank's (Sam Rockwell) monologue to his friend Rick (Walton Goggins) where he addresses "ladyboys" is one for the ages. I have watched it four times (with more to come)
Five ants rented an apartment with another five ants. Now they're tenants. The more you know...
“Rick, the lady in the airport thought you were my dad, okay? You should get a gentlemen’s facial” —Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) to her boyfriend Rick (Walton Goggins) The White Lotus
Get the feeling that Walton Goggins on The White Lotus had a blast playing Rick? I do!
Hear me out...a movie about Jesus' resurrection, but Weekend at Bernie's style, discuss
Prepare for incoming bungholes, that's all
Haiku bukkake. Circle & shoot poetry all over my face.
Woman Crush of the Week - How could it not be Parker Posey for giving us the gift of Victoria Ratliff on The White Lotus.
I owe myself the biggest apology for putting up with what I didn't deserve
“You sure know how to treat a burnt-out bitch” —Belinda (Natasha Rothwell) The White Lotus
To those of you who found the brother on brother incest kiss between Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) "shocking" uh not really. Obviously you are not familiar with VC Andrews and The Flowers in the Attic book series.
So what's Kate's (Leslie Bibb) story on The White Lotus? There's something bubbling under that surface
Now my obsession with The White Lotus episode five of season three has come to a close and aren't you happy?!?!
Let's talk more about The White Lotus here -

So get off of my cloud and find someone else who wants to put up with your tomfoolery. Time to shift my energy...join me?
FYI The "P" in my name stands for patience, that's why it's not there
Attention Texas: How many times do you need to be told human existence is not a felony?!
One thing I do know is nobody ever invaded a country in the name of Satan
Keep calm and watch Horror Movies! Words to live by
Do you ever stop and ask yourself: What would Skeletor do?
Always remember when people can't get what the want from you they will recruit others to hate you
I guess DOGEs actual proof of fraud is buried somewhere in the Epstein Files, right?
Is there such a thing as too much fabulousness? Think about it, but not too much
Woman Crush of the Week - Speaking of fabulous Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen in Snow White, that's all
The upcoming vampire flick Sinners looks like it doesn't suck ("yes" the pun was intended)
I don't owe you me. If you get any me, cherish that shit.
When anyone leaves their home they should get a trophy for participation, discuss
BTW smart men don't need to tell you how smart they are. Con men do.

Have You Ever Dreamt Of A Better Version Of Yourself? Michael Shinafelt |
Well the 97th Academy Awards were this past Sunday and Social Media is still buzzing with regard to how Demi Moore was robbed of the Best Actress Oscar for the Substance. She lost to Mikey Madison for Anora.
My favorite quip online: "Demi Moore losing to Mikey Madison is quite literally the plot of The Substance"
I agree with this 100%! So let's put the Oscar win in perspective. In a couple of years no one will be discussing Mikey Madison and Anora, they will however be discussing Demi Moore and The Substance forever. It was a complete game changer, enough said.
Today let's all be "Marked Safe" from whatever the media says we should currently live in fear of, that's all
Madonna is doing a sequel album to Confessions On A Dance Floor. I can't wait! IMO that was the last truly good music she made.
Sorry for being a joyful little maniac about creating a life I love. It will happen again.
It's shocking people are comparing Trump to Satan. Yes, he's evil. but certainly not as evil as Trump
What if the coins you find randomly at the bottom of drawers and in between couch cushions are actually from spiders trying to pay rent? Discuss...
Current Mood: I want to bite people, there's that
Have you said "Thank You" once? Think about it, but not too much
Creativity gets us out of ourselves and into the making of something. In the making, we are free to be ourselves.
Woman Crush of the Week - Oscar Nominee Isabella Rossellini for being the Queen she is and wearing a Blue Velvet dress to honor Filmmaker David Lynch at the ceremony
"Armie Hammer reveals he tried hooking up with a man through Grindr because 'gay dudes have it so easy’ and ‘women are the worst’ I think this guy needs _____ the blank is yours to fill in.
One of my favorite films Cruel Intentions was released 26 years ago on March the 4th. Don't judge me.
David Arquette will be back as Deputy Dewey for Scream 7. Huh? (if you know, you know)
Happy Marid Gras! I've been to New Orleans for it. What happens at Mardi Gras stays at Mardi Gras
Different day, different you
Can we talk here?

Indeed, moving on...
Sad to hear of the passing of Michelle Trachtenberg Rest In Power Georgina Sparks
The reason that they are talking about you behind your back is because when they talk about themselves, no one cares. The more you know.

It's A Strange World... Michael Shinafelt |
"Calling occupants of interplanetary craft. Calling occupants of interplanetary, most extraordinary craft" - The Carpenters, Calling Occupants
Yesterday I was in Beverly Hills, CA having lunch at The Cheesecake Factory with one of my oldest and dearest Julie McMahon. While walking back through the Mean Streets of Beverly I came across an alien (pictured above.)

Lucky Star Michael Shinafelt |
"When you wish upon a star, Makes no difference who you are, Anything your heart desires, Will come to you" - When You Wish Upon A Star
This past weekend I visited the Magic Kingdom at Disneyworld in Orlando, FL with one of my oldest and dearest friends Karen Castrischer-Stegall, it was indeed magic! The above photo is of me watching the fireworks show, Karen being the savvy photog she is captured the moment. Looking up into the night sky with the colorful, happy light display brought joy and hope to my being and made me think dreams and wishes do indeed come true.
People say I'm unable to multi task..but I can piss you off and amuse myself all at the same time
Rectal Possession and Demon Flatulence, that's all
Well here we are, that's all you need to know

Good Vibes Only Please Michael Shinafelt |
Like my T-Shirt says "Good Vibes Only Please" living in Los Angeles, CA is stressful of late to say the least and personally I am tired of the negativity some cretins have aimed at the city and it's residents.
The bad mojo of false facts, politicizing a devastating situation and the fake AI images are not funny, they are in fact quite ignorant and damaging. If you or anyone you know have participated in these repellent activities please move on you are not welcome here...to the rest of you who have reached out, thank you for your compassion and "Good Vibes"
FYI if trans people wanted to groom your kids they would have joined churches and become pastors and priests, the more you know...
Whoever said the Bible is the greatest story ever told never heard about my trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras, that's all
The person who put the "S" in fast food is a marketing genius
You are a ghost driving a meat-coated skeleton made from stardust hurtling through space. Fear nothing.
Finally got to see The Last Showgirl, Pamela Anderson is a revelation!
Do you believe in annoyed at first site? I do.
Can't afford a vacation? Drink tequila until you don't know where you are...!!!
For the record I don't chase, I attract. What belongs to me will find me. Simple.
Woman Crush of the Week - Bozoma Saint John from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. She is a welcome breath of fresh air, not to mention she is savagely funny! (sorry to hear she lost her home in the LA Fires)
Looking forward to seeing Fear Street: Prom Queen when it hits Netflix
Now I understand why chickens wake up and scream
Why has Trump been found guilty and the American People are the ones with a four year sentence?!?!
A big thank you to all the firefighters and first responders out there who are working tirelessly to keep Los Angeles and it's residents safe.
I'm off to yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery to send some "Good Vibes" out into the world

So we have arrived in 2025, how was your NYE? Was it everything you dreamed? Mine was, I spent it on the couch watching movies on streaming services until 10 pm, then it was off to Neverland (with the help of some Advil PM)
I woke the next morning looked to the sky and thought: "We'll see how this year goes" true story...what's on your 2025 agenda???
FYI I don't make New Year's resolutions, they set you up to fail. I set goals every month all year long. That's all.
Some stranger somewhere remembers you because you were a disgusting whore. The more you know...
I don't chase, I attract. What belongs to me will find me.
Caught Blink Twice the directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz. There's that.
If it doesn't help me to grow or flow, it's a no
Also caught Juror #2 directed by Clint Eastwood....loved it!!!
New Year, New Me, I'm gonna be worse (you have been warned)
As I predicted Demi Moore is now a contender for an Academy Award nomination for The Substance
