LA Punks EMPIRED Release New Single 

"Blood On The Ceiling" 

Empired’s new single, "Blood On The Ceiling" is now streaming via HEY!EVER Records.

Recorded and mixed by Empired guitarist Cam Mosavian and mastered by the legendary Paul Miner, the single will appear on the band's upcoming release.

“Blood on the Ceiling is about growing up with a mentally unstable parent that struggles with drug addiction. The confusion, the pain, and learning about love through forgiveness while also learning about hate as that forgiveness can backfire. Through it all though, there is hope and there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We just have to hang in there as best as we can to move forward. It’s not about the family we are born into but the family we choose," says Bruce Zebal of Empired.

Current Mood

Betty White

The late great Betty White seen here providing her answer to the question on Match Game sums up how I feel about the current state of our union. 

Also it adds some levity to our collective lives as well and reflects my Current Mood on every level.

It's times like these that make me wish Betty was still around to make us all laugh.

TGIF! Live and Laugh!

Why "Yes" I am "certified freak" and "Yes" it's seven days a week. There is one variable however, the volume changes from day to day. It's a mood thing.

Hey, there are worse things I could do, think about it, but not too much...that's all

I Have Tattoos: Because being an adult is hard and I deserve stickers

Stop waiting for the light at the end of the tunnel and light that B!tch up yourself, the more you know

FYI You deserve a break. Stop healing. Choose chaos. Go Insane. Do it for the plot... yeah, that's the ticket

Hump Day & Chill

Michael Shinafelt

Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner, so the best way to Hump Day & Chill during these sizzling hot times is with a margarita! 

Margaritas IMHO are THE drink of the warmer months. 

Nothing even comes close, there I said it!

Here I am enjoying said libation at Home State on Hollywood Blvd. 

They open at 7 am and I love being there on a sunny morning sitting on the patio with no one else around imbibing in my favorite adult beverage.

Now it's time to Hump Day & Chill, that's correct Minions it's Margarita Time!

Can't touch this...

Sour Party

Anchor Bay Entertainment is proud to announce the June 10 release of Sour Party on Blu-ray and DVD. Directors/writers/producers Amanda Drexton and Michael A. Drexton bring us the story of two thirty-something women who are drifting through life until a family event forces them to face their shortcomings and grow up.  

Gwen (Samantha Westervelt) and James (Amanda Drexton) have done their best to avoid getting real jobs or being accountable adults. After their latest failed attempt at money-making, Gwen gets a call from her pregnant sister about her upcoming baby shower. Determined to show her family that she’s not a failure, Gwen decides to buy a gift listed on the online baby registry. This turns out to be an expensive decision.   

They cycle through ideas, until deciding to drive around Los Angeles looking for their artsy friends who they believe owe them cash. Can they collect anything before the baby shower in the afternoon? Along the way, Gwen and James learn quite a bit about themselves, their lives, and the people they considered “friends.”  

Sour Party includes hilarious performances from Reggie Watts (Comedy Bang! Bang!), Corey Feldman (The Lost Boys), and Christopher Rodriguez Marquette (Barry). Sour Party is a buddy comedy about a time when emotionally stunted friends might need to grow up.

27!

Mariska Hargitay

Law & Order: SVU has been my favorite TV Drama since it premiered September 20th 1999. Cut to it making TV history as the longest running drama on network Television ever when it was renewed for season 25. Then is was renewed for a 26th season.

Guess what Minions?! Here comes season 27!

The photo is from the star of SVU, Mariska Hargitay's Instagram page celebrating yet another milestone with the caption:

 "Here’s to season 27!! WHAAA??? #CHEERS🥂 LFG!" 

Cheers indeed! I am so happy that there is at least one more season left of SVU. It's been an important part of most of my adult life. 

Even without new seasons there is always a Law & Order: SVU marathon airing on a station at any given moment. Trust me I've seen most of the episodes at least three times or more!

One can never get enough SVU, can one? I know I can't.

Live long and prosper!
