Michael's Musings

Our Idols And Demons Will Pursue Us Until We Let Them Go!
Michael Shinafelt

I'm gonna leave you with the quote that I used to caption my photo this week without any real explanation. Other than I'm feeling my alter and his name is Sathanas (Google it) I take him out for walks ever so often, hey he can't always be on the downlow...tis the season after all!

FYI There will never be anything like 80's horror again, there I said it!!!

I'm not going to censor myself to comfort your ignorance

When I die I don't want anyone at my funeral, I will come visit you. The more you know. 

There are 50 ways to leave your lover, but did you know there are 1,250 why I will never eat your booty

Lisa Rinna has PTSD...As If!!!

Melania Trump is trending on Twitter is she dating Pere Davidson?!?!

Pssssst! Did you hear the one about the Hyena that got caught in a mousetrap???

Any man can be a Father. It takes someone special to be a Daddy.

Celebrating 29 years of pretending Hocus Pocus is a good movie

Hump Day & Chill

A Vibe
Marilyn Monroe & Gwen Verdon

With all the buzz about Blonde the fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe's life, well we need to Hump Day & Chill to Marilyn and her real life I say!

Here is, to me, an amazing behind the scenes photo of Marilyn and dancer extraordinaire Gwen Verdon on the set of Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.

Gwen is watching every step Marilyn makes, while not the actual choreographer, Gwen is making sure Marilyn has it down, pitter pat.

Marilyn and Gwen, Gwen and Marilyn. They are giving a grand Hump Day & Chill vibe that is all their own.

Yes, they own it, and so should you!!!

Black Narcissus

“Black Narcissus” is quite simply one of the most dazzling films ever made. Its mind-blowing use of color, sets, and lighting transform what could have been just another entertaining melodrama into a work of art. This British gem, which follows a working order of nuns in the Himalayas, stands among the top achievements by the incomparable filmmaking team of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, and remains one of the most stunning in all of cinema."

Want more Minions??? Of course you do!!!

Monday Motivation

George Hahn

While I seldom drink coffee, today will be one of those days that I do. "Yes" Minions my Monday Motivation today is C-O-F-F-E-E damn it!!!

Here to drive home my point is the quite amusing George Hahn who I stumbled upon and follow on Twitter. George is so many things, and actor, political activist, a social commentator. He is clever and has a sharp wit. He also drinks coffee.

Since my like skills are sort of soft tipped, instead of sharp heading into the day I'm taking a cue from George and imbibing in a cup, or two, perhaps three of good old fashioned Joe.

Don't judge me, my exhaustion must be acknowledged!!!

Grab a cup and join me, won't you? I already know you will...

Get Cheesy!

Hold The Pickle?!
Chrissy Teigen

"Yes" it's here the day we all crave, it's National Cheeseburger Day! Seeing as how I indulged in one yesterday I will be celebrating today in spirit only.

Here's Chrissy Teigen straight outta the Vanity Fair Oscar Party looking ever so elegant as she chows down on said burger in some expensive designer dress no less.

Only our Chrissy of Burgers could make this a look and a whole entire vibe.

Thus take the day of the cheeseburger and bend it like Ms. Teigen, ya know, make it your own Minions and then some!!!

Yummy!

Walk In A "Straightline"

Straightline

Munich, Germany's Straightline will release their new album 'Keep Your Cool' this Thursday, September 15.

Album pre-save & Pre-Order (vinyl): https://bfan.link/keep-your-cool

Stream the songs "Earth Defenders" and "Weltschmerz" here: https://www.youtube.com/c/StraightlinePunk

After more than 2 years in pandemic hell production, Straightline is finally back with “Keep Your Cool” and ready to deliver once again their full package of metal-infused thrash skate punk. The band has set its sights on global domination, with tours of Canada and Slovenia planned to celebrate the release of their new album "Keep Your Cool," their first release on Thousand Islands Records and Lockjaw Records.

Straightline wrote and recorded the album in 2018-19 but waited for the world to re-open before unleashing it alongside several live shows in 2022. The release of "Keep Your Cool" sees an exciting new chapter opening for the band, who are writing new songs with new members for future releases.

The follow-up to "Vanishing Blues" is available on colored vinyl and CD with thematic merch and a skateboard deck.

Straightline will be touring Canada with Belvedere, Darko and Walt Hamburger starting this week.

Halloween Countdown

It's mid September, thus it is not too early for me to start counting down the days until Halloween, 45 at present.

Also I could not resist posting this awesome mash-up of Scooby Doo v Michael Myers.

"Yes" that's the intrepid Fred receiving the brunt of Michael's rage in a way that is quite reminiscent of Annie's boyfriend Paul in the 1978 classic.

FYI I did not have to look the above reference or information up, that's how much of a fan of the original I am. How many times have I seen it? I would estimated at this point roughly 50 since I watch it every year it is aired during spooky season and then some.

So grab yourself a Scooby Snack and the it will only be the tip, I promise...

T.G.I.F Minions!!!
