Monday Motivation

With Halloween quickly approaching I thought we should look to The Invisible Man for some Monday Motivation.

"Yes" heed the transparent one's advice start this week's countdown to Halloween with a "reign of terror" Why you might ask, because tis the season and it's fun!

Honestly a "reign of terror" is a cathartic thing and does a psyche good in these trying times. Now I am not suggesting something that will get you arrested or one that involves hurting anyone. More along the lines of some really great scary pranks.

Gotcha pranks in the multiples are a "reign of terror" for those easily scared and it's all in good spooky fun. 

Thus have some fun and make it reign Minions!!!

Bitter End Of A Sweet Night

LA’s own Divine Horsemen are confirmed for their record release show at Zebulon on Thursday November 2 at 8pm in support of their new album Bitter End of a Sweet Night (In The Red, October 27). Tickets are available here.

 

Flood Magazine said of the new record, it has “… the familiarly rollicking and twang-heavy duet “Bitter End,” which parses decades of relationship experience into a single narrative.” While Tinnitist said, “ The L.A. roots-punk legends transfix you with a dark tale of romantic obsession.… of their fierce upcoming album Bitter End Of A Sweet Night.”

 

The new 16-track collection again features the band’s co-founding members, singers-songwriters Chris Desjardins (better known as Chris D.) and Julie Christensen, and the core members of the ferocious Hot Rise band — guitarist/co-writer Peter Andrus (a member of the group’s late-‘80s lineup), bassist Bobby Permanent and X’s nonpareil drummer DJ Bonebrake (who won’t be doing ‘live’ dates). The sound is filled out by Green On Red and Dream Syndicate keyboardist Chris Cacavas (who appeared on the 1984 Chris D./Divine Horsemen album Time Stands Still) and classically trained violinist Elizabeth Wilson. Desjardins produced the album. Johnny Ray, drummer for The Flesh Eaters in the 1998-2000 era, and featured on that band's 1999 album Ashes of Time, recently joined the Horsemen and will pound skins on the upcoming 'live' dates.

 

Previously, on March 29, 2022, Divine Horsemen played their first live show since 1987, at Zebulon. There will be more live dates in the late fall/early winter of 2023 following Bitter End of a Sweet Night’s debut.

 

Only 17 More Days...

Could It Be Satan???

You know the term "The Devil Is A Bottom?" Well if you didn't now you do. He lures people into temptation after all, thus it makes sense. 

Here we see Satan working merrily away on his Pride Flag as actual proof! He is clearly a Queer ally of the fun time sort. Satan the Good Time Guy, if you will.

This Devil is also here to remind you that it's scant 17 more days until Halloween...

He's going to tempt you with those apples of his, oh my!!! 

Bottoms up and Devil laughs! Good times indeed!

Thank God It's Friday The 13th!

Happy Friday The 13th! As you can see Jason Vorhees has his Friday The 13th weekend plans, what are yours?

Mine? I'm hanging out with my friend Scott, were going to celebrate with pizza & wine and a Friday The 13th Marathon on in the background. while we toast, talk and nosh.

Anyway, starting my Friday The 13th off with the gym and a haircut before hand. 

Then I will most likely settle in and watch whatever Friday The 13th movie I find playing while channel surfing until Scott arrives for the official celebration.

Ki-ki-ki Ma-ma-ma

Michael's Musings

I Want To Play A Game...
Michael Shinafelt

So tomorrow is fittingly Friday The 13th, of course one landed in the middle of Spooky Season, as it should. A friend is coming over not to celebrate it per se but we are going to celebrate it since that is the day he can make it.

I hope our luck doesn't run out tomorrow night, if it does...bring it, and another glass of wine.

I noticed everything, I just acted like I didn't, so there!

Crinkle Cut Fries, ribbed for your pleasure, you're welcome...

Stay away from the ferns, they hate humans

Almost finished binging Red Hot Cherry Flavor on Netflix. Two more episodes to go. That show gets weirder as it progresses 

I would not be surprised to read a headline that goes like this: Taylor Swift Walks On Water 

Finally caught The Strangers there was some really good stuff in it, unfortunately it got bogged down by the really cliche things that were in it. What could have been a great horror movie was rendered merely OK

There was a squirrel staring at my window from the next door neighbors balcony with an evil look in it's eyes...Ugh! I hate squirrels!

Favorite Thing I Saw Online recently - Cardi B makes music for women that shoplift at yard sales LOL!

Woman Crush of the Week - The most underrated Final Girl Amy Steel who was so great in Friday The 13th Part 2

I have no desire to hear one more damned thing about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith and their relationship. I don't know who the people are that actually do

Where can I watch American Psycho? I feel a need to view it again, I love that movie!!!

19 days until Halloween...

When I have insomnia I always watch The King Of Queens love me some Leah Remini

And now I'm going to pull a rabbit out of my...

Hump Day & Chill

I'm Coming Out!
Michael Shinafelt

It's National Coming Out Day a most excellent reason to Hump Day & Chill! 

Being that it is Spooky Season and such, I am coming out of the closet like Jack Nicolson in The Shining. Hey someone had to do it, why not me?

"Yes" at this point and juncture in my life I have been out for quite some time. For those of you who are still struggling with this, know you are supported, loved and that you've got this. 

It truly does get better.

Thus let's celebrate coming out by having a terrific Hump Day & Chill!!!
