Heading Into 2022 Like...

Miley Cyrus & Pete Davidson

Here it be, the last day of 2021, and aren't you happy?! Honestly with the way things are going I am indifferent at best. I also suspect that I really don't have to delve into the reasons why as I am sure my indifference is a universal experience.

I am celebrating the best way possible IMO, I am hitting the gym this morning and then stopping by Trader Joe's on my way home to pick up some NYE treats for the evening.

Basically I am staying in with a friend to celebrate and watching Miley's New Years Eve Party hosted by Miley Cyrus (duh) and Pete Davidson.

While this may not be living large with everything happening in the world at present I am winning by celebrating this way.

Thus whatever your plans tonight, be safe and stay healthy and don't let the bed bugs bite...Ouch!

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

Knock, Knock, Knocking on the gates off Hell, why not? I ask you???

Binged The Flight Attendant - love it! Kaley Cuoco is fantastic! This is coming from someone who has never watched The Big Bang Theory.

Whores R US - discuss

Right now I am wondering what would Lucifer do?

Dick, that's an interesting name...

"I'm Barbara Walters, and this is 2020" - Barbara Walters

Whether Ms. Walters is officially using her timely quote on any New Year's Eve broadcast remains to be seen and heard (if she is I suspect it's going to be a surprise, or archival footage of her doing it.) I wanted to use the quote today here on Entertain Me to with you and yours a Happy New Year!

However you choose to spend your evening be safe and have fun! Personally New Year's isn't a thing for me. I like to spend it at home where it is nice and quite and doesn't cost me an outrageous fortune.

Refer to the Miranda Priestly meme below, this sums up my feelings on the whole to do...

Cheers!

It's NYE 2018!

2018
Courtney Love

It's another year under our collective belts and another one to tackle. What are your hopes and dreams for 2019? 

My feeling is the years all bleed together and there is not one that is more special than the other. How do I celebrate New Year's Eve? I watch TV, drink wine and give zero F#cks. 

Thus for NYE I leave you with memes featuring two of my favorite female artists Courtney Love ringing out 2018 & Madonna ringing in 2019.

Process them anyway you like I don't give a F#ck! 

Happy New Year! 

2019

Be Bold, Be Brave

Hello 2018
Michael Shinafelt

As I sit here on the first full day of 2018 in Los Angeles, CA I am wondering what wisdom one can impart this New Year's Day? 

The quote I used for today's byline: "Be Bold, Be Brave" is how I live my life everyday no matter what. It's my mantra, and passing it on to you was what I thought I could do today. 

This is something everyone has in them and that they should strive for, nothing is worse than a life half lived due to fear. Take it from someone who has been there and done that. Change is possible if you want it bad enough. Life is one of those things that you get back what you put into it.

On that note I hope all of you had a happy & safe New Year's Eve and this post finds you in the most festive of moods. 

What did I do? Well I can't disclose that completely but let's just say it involved a visit from my favorite witch and...

Happy 2018 Minions!

Keep up with me this, and every year at:

New Year, New...

You Make Me Feel, Mighty Real
Michael Shinafelt

Well it's here, New Year's Eve has arrived! 2018 here we come! So let's cut to the chase, if there is one completely asinine NYE sentiment it has to be: "New Year, New Me" - Ummmmmmm, OK how in the F#ck is that going to happen?!

The things going on with you from last year aren't going to magically disappear at the stroke of midnight, they will carry over. Not to mean that is a bad thing, it simply means you are still going to be you. Sure you can work to improve yourself, in many ways like your health, taking a class and learning something new or being the change you want to see in the world. But new you, WTF?!

All we can do is the best we can by constantly striving to become our authentic selves in service to a better world to inhabit. Thus I never make New Year's resolutions they are only a recipe for failure and I am constantly working on bettering my world all year long. 

Basically all NYE means is it's a different year. Nothing more. 

Happy 2018 and may you you strive to become a better you everyday!

2017 Here We Come!!!
Ryan Seacrest & Jenny McCarthy

Tonight's the night we ring in the New Year, a night collectively referred to around the world as New Year's Eve. 

What are your plans tonight? Any traditions? Well whether my plans have been staying in or spending time with friends for it, Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve in Times Square, New York City has always been my go to show to the count down to midnight. I mean who can resist watching a ball drop slowly? Admit it you know you can't.

The only time I have never watched it was when the world rang in 2000. I was in a club with three levels that had different music themes, and yes I am going to stop there. That was the exception to this my otherwise steadfast unofficial tradition.

While things have changed over the years about the show it still remains the best way to rock in the upcoming year.

So, if I don't fall asleep before the clock strikes twelve on January 1st 2017, I plan to hang with Ryan Seacrest & Jenny McCarthy and a dropping ball with whoever else may be with me.

Let's hope 2017 errs on the side of good shall we?

Enjoy your NYE!

Just Because, Lady Gaga & Elton John

Ladies Who Lunch
Lady Gaga & Elton John

Today is one of those nebulous Post Holiday/Pre-Holiday days. Yes kids it's the first Tuesday after Christmas and the Tuesday that falls before New Year's Eve aka 2017.

So I thought I would run this image of Lady Gaga & Elton John out and about in Aspen, CO.

Why? Just because the two of them together represent so much talent and creativity it would make a pig in lipstick jealous, and look, it's two icons who are still alive, together!

Hey, it's great to be here! 

Have a TT! Terrific Tuesday, in case you didn't get the gist.
