Michael's Musings

What Lies Beyond Dreams

"I do think someone is protecting me. I don't know if it's an angel it could be the devil" - Madonna

I'm Michael Shinafelt and I resemble this quote 100%! Now let's get to it strike a pose there's nothing to it..

Remember, when you are dead, you don't know your dead. The same applies when you are stupid

The Republicans are basically running a shock jock in a diaper who reads at a 4th grade level for POTUS

You're dry humping my last raw nerve

Mariah Carey is defrosting as we speak

Only 35 days until Halloween...

What would you do it Samara Morgan (The Ring) crawled out of your TV???

How many of you can admit you talk to yourselves, you know you want to

Fall is when the mosquitos return to Hell

The bar makes me cry and moan

Saw a portrait of Betty White with a bong a my local dispensery titled: Bongy White

The most underrated thing about me is my ability to transform

I also can take down down someone with a hand gesture

Hump Day & Chill

Debbie Harry

OK let's face it you may be cool, but you will never be cool as Debbie Harry blowing a bubble cool.

This is the perfect image to let loose and Hump Day & Chill with. It's iconic and so is Debbie who let's face it is the definition of eternal cool chill.

So kick it like Debbie, nobody does it like her!

Current Mood

Alfred Hitchcock's
Psycho

"We all go a little mad sometimes" - Norman Bates, Psycho

Norman Bates got this right. Sometimes we all DO go a little mad. If you are in that place then join me there as it's a Current Mood thing.

Come with me to the other side and let's descend into madness. Eat the madness and when you are done spit it back out! It's the circle of life after all. 

Madness happens from time to time that's all you need to know. 

Don't fight it, simply flow with it. It's all about in how you handle the ride.

Heading Into The Week Like...

It's Me!
Michael Shinafelt

Here I am Mike on a bike heading into the week with determination and energy! 

FYI I dislike being called Mike for the record, but I have definitely got some more mojo than usual. Why? I don't question everything I just go with it.

Also when you have that something extra no matter how or why, you can use it to serve yourself any way you want, so really again why question it. Seriously!

Thus I am looking forward to how the week will unfold, and refold. 

It's going to be totally different head.

Get on your bicycle ride!

Fall Is In The Air

As we approach the first day of Fall tomorrow I feel more myself. You see Fall is my favorite season of the year.

It's a time for renewal and perspective. Not to mention pleasant weather with pretty leaves.

There is only one constant that is a part of who I am no matter what season it is. "Yes" I pretty much always rely on my basic black wardrobe.

Black goes with everything and it slims you in case you have put on a few extra lbs. 

Paint it black, Minions!!!

"That's A Human Ear"

Kyle MacLachlan
Blue Velvet

I recently rewatched Blue Velvet for the first time since it came out when I was in college. As a person in his 50's I now realize how darkly funny the film is here is an example of this...

"Did You Hear Anything?" "Bits And Pieces"

Jeffrey is seeing Sandy for the first time since what seems like high school. Jeffrey is eager to learn more about the ear he found in the field, and Sandy reveals that her bedroom is right above the office of her detective father. Their banter over this results in some subtle puns which aren't acknowledged in the film may merit a chuckle from the audience.

I know I laughed a lot revisiting this classic!
