Monday Motivation

Jane Fonda

“We’re still living with the old paradigm of age as an arch. That’s the old metaphor: You’re born, you peak at midlife and decline into decrepitude. ... A more appropriate metaphor for aging is a staircase. The upward ascension of the human spirit, bringing us into wisdom, wholeness and authenticity.”

~ Jane Fonda

As someone in their 50's I can honestly veirfy this as 100% True!

Monday Motivation indeed...

The Book Of Harth

For 20 years, conceptual artist David Greg Harth carried a Bible with him every single day, seeking signatures from the most culturally significant people in the world. In The Book of Harth, filmmaker Pierre Guillet follows the artist during the final year of his absurd quest, trailing him to scenes of frenetic celebrity worship. As Harth secures signatures behind stage doors, in city streets, and on the fringes of red carpets, Guillet cops spontaneous interviews with previous signees, from Noam Chomsky to Kevin Smith. As the last hours of his magnum opus draw to a close, Harth struggles to reconcile the project's meaning with its personal cost.

Cuerrent Mood

"They're really annoying, especially in the workplace. " 'They’re like, "Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10:30 a.m." Or in emails, I’ll tell them, "This is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling?" And they’re like, "Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?"' - Jodie Foster on Gen Z 

Current Mood, enough said...

Hang In There Baby!

Michael Keaton & KIm Basinger

It's merely the second Friday of 2024 and I don't know about you but I feel it's been way more dramatic than needed. Thus to all of you out there experiencing this "Hang In There Baby!" you know calmer times are ahead, they always are.

This behind the scenes shot of Michael Keaton and Kim Basinger dangling from wires on the set of Batman illustrates exactly how I, and I'm sure many of you feel right here, right now.

Now this is the kind of "hanging in there" that puts the "D" in dramatic, for sure!

Another day of 2024 and I'm out there performing another high wire act...

Mic Drop!

Michael's Musings

Reach Out And Touch Sombody's...
Michael Shinafelt

"Reach out and touch, Somebody's hand, Make this world a better place, If you can" - Diana Ross

"Yes" I know I am not touching somebody's hand, that's a sweet old fashioned notion, fer sure. My thought is reach out and touch somebody anyway they want it. Hand holding is tre passe.

A little Mind F#ck to change things up is always good for the soul, if you get my meaning and I'm sure you do. Thus we are Musing on Minions!!!

Sorry you had a bad day, you can touch my dick if you want

Hello, you are receiving this message because I really didn't enjoy you in 2023 and you will not be a part of my life in 2024. Have a great year, all decisions are final.

One day I will start behaving myself. Maybe tomorrow.

Trust your next chapter, because you are the author, discuss

Be still, go within, meditate, repeat...

For some reason I thought the rise of facism would have more showtunes

Satan is a Leather Man, fight me!

Heart is one of the greatest rock groups of all time, don't question this

Woman Crush of the Week - Lily Gladstone for being the first indiginous actress to win a Golden Globe for Killers of the Flower Moon!

I'm conducting prostate exams today, the more you know...

Thank you, but I prefer sausage with cream sauce, that's all

Keep your flair for the dramatic to yourself!!!

The man in the moon goosed the cow when they jumped over it, fact

Now to find my mind, I lost it the other day and can't seem to locate it...

Help me find it here -

Hump Day & Chill

Dvias x Duos 
Madonna & Barbara Streisand 

It's a Doubleplusgood type of Hump Day & Chill today with two, count em', two divas instead of uno. 

"Yes" it's Madonna and Barbara Streisand together on what looks like the set of Who's That Girl? Because as you can see Madonna is looking quite Nkki Finn.

Obviously these two have encountered each other prior to this, I wonder what prompted Ms. Streisand to visit the set? I wonder if anything of importance was uttered? I wonder, wonder, wonder what exactly went down when these two divas colllided period!!!

Well I guess we can Hump Day & Chill and fill in those blanks for ourselves Minions, now can't we??? We Can!
