Michael's Musings

Be Your Own Work Of Art...
Michael Shinafelt

I have immersed myself in peaceful creative energy of late. That does not mean that I am unaware of what's happening in the world around me. It simply means there has to be a balance. One of the things I did as you can see above, was to hit the apps and make myself a work of art.

Remember we each are our own work of art, and while chaos surrounds us anchor yourself and make a portrait of yourself for yourself, however you like and whatever that means to you. Now what to call my portrait? It's got the "sex vibe" going thus I was thinking "Sexually Fluid" or simply "Sexual Fluid" what do you think???

Repeat after me "I will commit the sin of empathy today"

FYI Never take criticism from anyone you wouldn't take advice from, the more you know

Isn't Sutton Stracke's Mom on RHOBH a scream? Literally she is like something out of a horror movie!

Been binging Younger on Netflix, it is just what I need at this place and time and Sutton Foster is wonderful in it

No, I will not go on a hike with you. Yes, I will walk 10 miles a day at Disney, that's all

M3gan 2.0 is back to terrorize us on June 27th! While I did not find the first one scary I did enjoy the mayhem!

Elon Musk calling out others for illegal deeds while he is trying to carry out a coup really defines the sociopath

One of my favorite slasher flicks Valentine turned 24 years old on February 2nd, discuss

Woman Crush of the Week - Grammy Winner Chappell Roan for being fearless!

It's Law and Order: SVU day! Worship accordingly

Happy Black History Month Minions!

Do all you can, by all the means you can. to all the people you can, in all the places you can, as long as ever you can

Hump Day & Chill

Seahorse Love

Today we shall Hump Day & Chill to a thing of beauty...nature. Here we have a female seahorse passing her fertilized eggs to a male seahorse so he can carry them term.

"Yes" that's correct Minions, it is the male seahorse who goes through pregnancy and gives birth in case you were out of the loop on that fact.

Thus gender fluid is a real thing, it's natural after all.

Let's just put it this way if there was anyway to use seahorses as a vessel of hate and political posturing I'm sure they would be a target of the current whatever the F#ck you want to call it since we really don't have a President.

For those of us who marvel at the world around us, let's pay the "good vibes" forward and Hump Day & Chill to the thing of beauty that is the seahorse.

Strong

Garcelle Beauvais

Tonight is the night when the ladies of Beverly Hills go at it! That's correct The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs tonight on Bravo.

I spied this portrait of Garcelle Beauvais straight outta her Instagram page and loved it.

Thus I thought I would post it in honor of Black History Month and RHOBH day.

While all of the adjectives apply to Ms. Beauvais I felt the one that encompasses her the most was: Strong.

Being a Black Woman in the Entertainment Industry who is successful takes a lot of strength.

I will extrapolate no further as I can not speak to her life experience past this piece of knowledge.

This being stated I will be tuning in tonight for RHOBH, "yes" it's my Tuesday evening "thing"
