Hump Day & Chill

Aussie Joey

Since we are currently in a hazy shade of winter, I thought we might want to Hump Day & Chill to summer down under. "Yes" this week we travel to Australia to HD & C with Aussie Joey warming benches, wearing, what else, nothing whatsoever.

That's correct Minions I am sending y'all on a Australian vacation via Tye Briggs Favorite Hunks & Other things. We have all earned this first Hump Day & Chill of January 2021. Hey it's already seems like we are 365 days into this year already so...

Enjoy the view of Joey warming benches in the buff, by clicking on the link below, and give it your first Hump Day & Chill of 2021. BTW in case you are wondering HD & C is a euphemism, so get to it!

God Save The Queen!

The Queen's Gambit
Elizabeth II & Friends

Who says Elizabeth II doesn't have a sense of humor, obviously has not seen this photo of her. "Yes" the Queen of England has some mad photobombing skills, add that to my 2021 Bingo Card.

Check out these two unsuspecting young women who thought they were capturing "their moment." See there she is in the background grinning ear to ear The Queen!

Yeah, she knew what she was doing and loving every minute of it. Hey Elizabeth knows how to party Minions.

Thus I leave you with this bit of levity today, I hope it entertains you as much as it did me...

Photobomb!

Monday Mood

Yep...
Dwayne Johnson & Daughter 

Twas the first Monday of 2021 and all through out the world the only creature stirring was a big orange ________ it's time to fill in the blank Minions! Honestly the New Year does not begin until January 20th 2021 IMHO. Until then it's like 2020 on replay, same old sh!t different day (and at this point year.)

So this photo of Dwayne Johnson and his daughter from this past Thanksgiving sums up my Monday Mood quite epically. "Yes" it feels like it has been five long years since the November election and at least one of those years has been from January 1st 2021, till today. Honestly I'm over it, much like this father and daughter duo are.

Looking forward to, well, moving forward, not perpendicular. Here is the trick to keep ourselves collectively on track, don't look back, and make the most of every day. Even though the above photo this is reflective of how many of us fee at present, we gotta keep on keeping.

Me? Oh yeah I've got things to do the first Monday of 2021, but those things are for me to know, and you to never find out.

Remember: Smile Like You Have A Naughty Secret 😈

Just Because...Booty Call

Getting Cheeky With It!
John Barrowman

Just Because...fun is a good thing, Just Because...you know you like to watch & Just Because...It's cheeky, quite literally and figuratively, here's John Barrowman flashing his booty in Palm Springs.

Mr. Barrowman is known for his, shall we say, candid Instagram postings. Going commando in Washington, DC anyone? Well he decided to shoot some video footage of himself roller skating captioning it: "The view behind me...roller skating in Palm Springs. Can you see the moon?" 

If you know how this guy rolls, no one should have been surprised to get a peek at his supple bottom. "Yes" he laughs at his own naughty boy ways, hey he's having fun and wants you to as well.

What's that you say? You wanna see it? Well fear not and click on the link below Just Because...!!!

Sparkle Miley, Sparkle!

Shine Bright Like A Diamond
Miley Cyrus

OK, I know it is merely the second day of 2021 and, yeah, it's pretty much like 2020 thus far. I am looking forward to when the world finally starts moving that way.

So in the meantime I need things other than Netflix binges to keep my morale up. Shiny things that sparkle, like Miley Cyrus performing at Dick Clark's New Years Rockin Eve 2021.

"Yes" I am a Cyrus fan, she's one of the best contemporary artist out there at present. Honestly I jam to a song or two of hers at least once a day.

What's that you say? Did I catch her on NYRE? Sort of, I seent it on YouTube, I am asleep by midnight always and feel no special need to indulge in staying up to ring in the New Year. What's the point?! It isn't going to, especially this year, change with the flip of a switch.

Today I hereby add Miley Cyrus to my list of things to keep my spirits up while we wait for the world to mobilize in a positive manner.

Sparkle Miley, Sparkle!

Film Buff Friday: Southland Tales

In 2001, writer/director Richard Kelly achieved cult status with Donnie Darko, an assured debut feature exploring deep existential questions through the lens of 80s nostalgia. Five years later, he followed up with a more ambitious and even more beguiling sophomore effort, in which forces of totalitarianism and anarchism collide against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic, near-future world - the beguiling and baffling Southland Tales. Los Angeles, 2008. As the city stands on the brink of social, economic and environmental chaos, the fates of an eclectic set of characters - including an amnesia-stricken action star (Dwayne Johnson, the Fast & Furious series), an adult film star developing her own reality TV project (Sarah Michelle Gellar, Cruel Intentions) and a police officer whose identity has split in two (Seann William Scott, TV's Lethal Weapon) - intertwine with each other and with the whole of humanity. A darkly comic futuristic epic that speaks as presciently to our turbulent times as it did to the American socio-political climate in 2006, Southland Tales receives a fresh - and timely - lease of life with this new, director-approved restoration.

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

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...
