Michael's Musings

Daddy's Getting Hot At The Body Shop

"Dirty, dirty boy

You know everyone is talking on the scene
I hear them whispering 'bout the places that you've been
And how you don't know how to keep your business clean" Unholy, Kim Petras & Sam Smith

Don't sabotage your peace because chaos is familiar, that's all

FYI If people make you sick perhaps you should cook them longer, the more you know...

But I'm A Cheerleader, discuss

The scary part isn't that Trump lies - it's that his supporters shape shift their entire moral code to fit each one, things that make you go Hmmm

The baby peacocks at Hollywood Forever Cemetery are sooo cute!!!

Mix it up a little. Text a random phone number this message: "The fat one won't fit in the woodchipper. What do you want me to do?"

Don't be the chaser. Be the one who gets chased. You are the tequila, not the lime

BTW An empty bottle of wine shows that you know how to finish what you start. Think about it, but not too much...

Hump Day & Chill

Fire Walk With Me

"This whole world's wild at heart and weird on top" Lula, Wild At Heart 

While exiting Hollywood Forever Cemetery post yoga yesterday I happened upon the final resting place of filmmaker David Lynch with many items of tribute scattered around his marker.

Being a Lynch fan I just had to take a picture and share it with all of you. 

Thus today we are going to Hump Day & Chill to the greatness of David Lynch. 

Wild At Heart is my favorite film by him, so I used my favorite quote from it at the top of this Hump Day & Chill post, naturally.

I'm sure seeing him at peace memories of his genius come flooding back to many of you.

Hump Day & Chill and reminisce about them...

JJ Braves

JJ Braves

Portland-based musician and producer JJ Braves returns this summer with his powerful new single, “Fix for a Broken Heart,” dropping July 25. The track—an emotionally-charged anthem of resilience—arrives ahead of his forthcoming full-length album and is the first taste of what’s shaping up to be his most fully realized release yet. JJ’s summer tour begins this week in Portland, OR and stretches across the West Coast through early August. JJ Braves is the throwback rock project of LA-based artist Joshua Keever, blending synth-driven hooks, classic rock theatrics, and deeply personal lyricism. Drawing inspiration from the power-chord heroics of Queen and Weezer, the slick pop swagger of Huey Lewis & the News, and even the animated bravado of the Transformers theme song, JJ Braves channels those influences into anthemic, emotionally resonant songs. His debut EP, The Circle Complete, introduced audiences to his signature stacked guitar tones and high-energy synth arrangements—designed to uplift listeners of all ages. Writing music from a young age as a coping mechanism for emotional isolation, Keever infuses the JJ Braves project with purpose: to empower misfits, outsiders, and anyone who’s ever struggled to feel like they belong. “Fix for a Broken Heart” carries that same message—pushing through pain and finding strength when everything seems broken. JJ Braves - Summer 2025 Tour Dates 7/24 – Portland, OR @ White Eagle Saloon 7/25 – Seattle, WA @ Central Saloon 7/26 – Clarkston, WA @ Hogan's Pub 7/27 – Boise, ID @ Lost Grove Brewing 7/28 – Elko, NV @ Charlee's Bar 7/29 – Reno, NV @ Reno Public Market 7/30 – Sacramento, CA @ Old Ironsides 7/31 – Long Beach, CA @ Supply & Demand 8/1 – North Hollywood, CA @ Kulak's Woodshed 8/2 – San Francisco, CA @ Rickhouse 8/3 – Medford, OR @ Rockafairy   Linktree Instagram Facebook Spotify Apple Music

 

Monday Motivation

Here's your Monday Motivation for July 28th 2025. We all tend to cling to the familiar rather than take the leap into uncharted territory. Hey, it's easier like eating comfort food. 

I have chosen my peace at this stage in my life and trust me when I state that I have visited chaos a few times on this journey. Doing so has finally put the nail in the coffin of the Big "C" because while my peace is a lot of work, the end result of having it is worth it to infinity and beyond.

This nugget of wisdom came to me via my friend Robert Hensley's Nature Reconnect which I follow on Instagram and Facebook. I love the daily affirmations he posts!  

Here is his mission statement:

I am a dedicated Personal Rewilding Coach and Meditation Leader, assisting others in their journey to acknowledge, accept, and honor their innate relationship to Nature through very specific meditative and reflective practices for the welfare of their mental and physical health. 

Why? Because I believe in a world where our species proves its value to the universe through stewardship, caring for and protecting the world to which we owe our lives. I want the generations to follow to live in a world that isn't diseased and decaying, but rich in diversity and abundance. Through personal rewilding, I believe this is possible.

"Twisted Reality"

Have You Any Soul?

These days reality is twisted enough already without the added confusion of AI. This being stated AI can also be fun!

Case in point: My latest TikTok obsession is the creepy/macabre/ghoulish/dark/horrific (did I miss any perverse adjectives?) videos straight outta of AI creators.

These are truly amazing and get under my skin and inhabit all the darkest corners of my mind. A personal fetish of mine is a grisly take on the children's nursery rhyme Baa Baa Black Sheep. It's done as a Death Metal song rewritten with disturbing AF lyrics. 

It's Demonic Singer is featured above. It's from my favorite deranged AI site on TikTok: Twisted Reality.

Sunday Funday has never been so fiendish...
