Today is my fellow Sagittarius Margaret Cho's Birthday! As you may or may not have read she recently spent a stint in rehab and is now in recovery. Thus I wanted to give her a shout out on her special day.

Margaret and I have known each other for years now, not only is she one of the funniest damned people on the face of the planet, she also gives back to the world around her through her political activism via her comedy and action. As well as her charitable work, especially on behalf of the homeless in San Francisco with the Be Robin campaign honoring her friend the late brilliant Robin Williams.

So join the rank of Cho Ho and wish this wonderful lady a Happy, Happy at one of the links below, it will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. OK, more like, it will make you remember the fight is real and to take action rather than reaction. Happy now???

Bend it like Margaret.

Happy Birthday Margaret! 
xoxo
Michael

Michael's Musings

It's A Dirty Job
Michael Shinafelt

As stated last week this is going to be the regular Thursday Thing on Entertain Me. Making me a man of my word and letting the world at large know I make good on my threats.

Carry on, as you were...

Anyone out there who has a "Mexican Thing" that wants to whip it out for me, please do.

Vote for Donald Trump on November 28th. While everyone else will be electing Hillary Clinton as POTUS on November 8th.

Do you ever feel like daytime is invading your privacy?

This Is Us. I. don't. get. it.

Mariah Carey is going to have her own reality show on E! this December called: Mariah's World. Which proves what I've always thought, we all just live in it.

I'm selling happiness, the kind you nibble on. The more you know.

I always keep a jar of jalapenos in my refrigerator. Always.

Ever stop and wonder...???

Rhonda Bernstein nailing it with this comment: "This election has really made me miss Joan Rivers. Can you imagine what she would have said? I would never stop laughing." 

That's a wrap.

It's Christmas Eve, What Are You Doing?

For those of you not in the loop, my Birthday is exactly one week before Christmas, "Yes" it is December 18th, "Hi" I'm Michael Shinafelt and I'm a Sagittarius.

I turned 50 this year. Yeah, I am a half a century old and still kicking ass! So how I am celebrating this evening?

Continuing my well earned status as a survivor of Generation X by celebrating my Birthday even more. It started last week with an awesome excursion to Disneyland courtesy of Rhonda Bernstein. With co-stars Eric Bernstein & Angela Simone.

Seguing into the actual date with my BFF Brittney Alexander at the legendary El Coyote. The place where famed Hollywood starlet Sharon Tate had her last meal.

And so it continues into Christmas Eve with Scott Jacobs. Featuring Wine & Cheese and Frivolous Fuckery!

Shout out to Erik Rimmer!

Simply having a wonderful Holiday Season!

It's Rapist Season With Margaret Cho

Getting Jizzy With It!
l-r: Rhonda Bernstein, Margaret & Me

Did the caption above sound somewhat irreverent? Well good! I caught all around awesome person and spirit animal Margaret Cho this past weekend, November 14th at The Wiltern to be exact, on her psyCHO tour. Refer to the photo above of me and my fellow Sagittarius engaging. 

One of Margaret's hot topics in her show is rape & sexual abuse. She has been a victim of it and is speaking out, loud, and irreverent, of course.

If you have been the victim of any sexual violation, it can affect you in ways you never expected. Sometimes it isn't so much the act as it is the reaction to it from others in your life that can alter your being. 

Moran, Margaret's Korean name, recently tackled this with a new song and video: I Want To Kill My Rapist.

Now this is not a literal thing, it's about killing the rapist, or sexual violator inside of you. 

Yes, the "killing" part is a metaphor...or is it? Check out the video after the jump!

Leonard Nimoy, Go Boldly Into The Next Adventure

Leonard Nimoy as Spock: Live Long and Prosper

Leonard Nimoy most known for his iconic role as Spock on the TV series Star Trek, which later spawned a string of successful movies with the original cast and then a later a new one has passed away.

While I was never into Star Trek I respect it's place in television history and the cultural impact it has had.

So I asked my friend and Trekkie Rhonda Bernstein to speak to the passing of Mr. Nimoy:

"I was very saddened and surprised to hear of his passing. Spock, as written and portrayed by Nimoy, was truly an iconic figure and one of the most complex, endearing and enduring characters in all the Star Trek iterations. Nimoy used his fame to advance numerous artistic and charitable causes.  His lifetime of achievements, both before and off the screen, enriched us all."

Well put!
