Monday Motivation

Now This Is Motivation!
Gerard Butler

It's another Manic Monday and another opportunity to find fresh motivation to kick off the week. Today is Monday Motivation at it's finest in the form of one Gerard Butler. Funny I had a boyfriend told me Gerard was his ultimate type and that I was his "Gerard Butler" thus I guess this post is somewhat narcissistic by proxy. 

Whatever. Today I need the power of Butler to get my tired booty into high gear and the great thing about this photo of Gerard shirtless (well there are many, but I will focus on the general one) is you can project pretty much anything onto it for a call to Monday action.

So here is what I am using: "Gerard is up and at em' - having done his morning yoga, he is now ready for his coffee and the Monday ahead of him. He's got his motivation on!!!"

Works for me, now I am ready to take on Manic Monday - time for me to motor peeps, and you should too.

I hope myself & Gerard were a helpful way to kick off the last Monday of June...Michael is leaving the laptop!

Sinful Sunday

Rock DJ
Taylor Swift & Robbie Williams

Look, up on stage at Wembley Stadium in London! It's a bird & a plane, it's conjoined twins, no it's Taylor Swift & Robbie Williams!

"Yes" Pop Princess Taylor Swift brought Pop Bad Boy Robbie Williams up on stage during her Reputation tour stop in London. Honestly the main reason I am running this photo is because Robbie is in it. Not that I have anything against Ms. Swift, but I have a "everything" for Williams.

Maybe it's his Bad Boy swagger. Perhaps it's his extreme sex appeal. Or maybe it's the fact that he likes to get naked on camera. Whatever the case may be I have decided to make this a Sinful Sunday by indulging in lust.

Robbie Williams is hereby decreed my church today. Blasphemous much? "Yep" 24/7 - and proud of it. 

It's time to worship at the altar of Robbie, so I'm off! Have a terrific Sinful Sunday and don't forget to take yourself to church!

Just Because...Adam Rippon

Shake Your Groove Thang
Adam Rippon

Just Because he's a rebel just for kicks now, Just Because he's a fan favorite athlete & Just Because well, he's an entertainer at heart. Here is Olympic skater Adam Rippon, naked for the ESPN Magazine's Body Issue.

All the guys think Adam's a spaz he's got Bette Davis eyes...OK, he actually doesn't, but there is something about Adam that is truly captivating. While I do not find him attractive in a sexual way I do find him charismatic, someone who can make me interested in what he is doing at any given moment.

I also love nudity.That is a full proof way to catch this guy's eye! Even if I have no desire to tap it, I love to see what other people look like sans clothing.

Of course Mr. Rippon has a rocking body, it's an athlete thang.

Thus I leave you today, Saturday June 23rd 2018 with an image from the shoot, because I am such a giver and like seeing someone in their Birthday Suit as much as the rest of you do.

Having lost 45lbs. this motivates me even more to _____ the blank is yours to fill in. 

Have a terrific day! Hi ho, Hi ho it's off to the gym I go!

Michael's Musings

It's Summertime, Don't Be Cruel
Michael Shinafelt

It's the first day of Summer and the motto for it is "Don't Be Cruel!" It's also just another Manic Thursday - what? Monday isn't the only manic day of the week it simply had a nice ring and thus The Bangles birthed a ditty about it. So it is, and so it shall be written forever, indeed.

This week has been quite challenging to myself and many children who had no right to have the scars left on them by the monster in the closet they always feared. 

Moving on...

I'm officially down 45lbs. - that's correct I weigh 168!

But what does it mean?!

Tinsley Mortimer of the RHONY needs to get a job. She went wedding dress shopping and she isn't even engaged. Tragic,

Sometimes you have to make a huge mistake to really appreciate your life again

There's a fine line between pleasure and pain, and I know what that line is 

Janet Jackson has opened up about her intense battle with depression. Welcome to the club and thanks for addressing it, Janet.

Strike a poser

Why R U So Scary?!
Selena Gomez

Why did adorable Selena Gomez have to start giving me nightmares

I get enough nightmares daily with the current State of the Union

Step in time, never need a reason, never need a rhyme...

Keep the kids, deport the deplorable's 

The Deplorable's should be the next follow-up to Pixar's  The Incredible's 2 - I bet they would have a field day with it!

“You’ve been criticizing yourself for years and it hasn’t worked. Try approving of yourself and see what happens"

When in doubt, shout, shout, let it all out!

Summertime, I hope the living is easy...

Why don't you cum up and see me sometime at:

Chris & Katherine Sitting On A Park Bench...

Hello Young Lovers
Chris Pratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger

Yeah, they weren't sitting in a tree, that's so dated. Chris Pratt & Katherine Schwarzenegger the eldest daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger & Maria Shriver. 
Were spotted on Father's Day on a bench in a park in Santa Barbara, CA.

As you may recall Chris and his also famous wife, Anna Faris divorced not too long ago. 

This was his first Father's Day without his kids, but, hey they're all right.

Whatever is, or isn't happening with Chris & Katherine, their reps aren't commenting. Silence is golden after all.

Don't they simply look cute as a dickens together?

Nod your head and say "yes."
