So we have arrived in 2025, how was your NYE? Was it everything you dreamed? Mine was, I spent it on the couch watching movies on streaming services until 10 pm, then it was off to Neverland (with the help of some Advil PM)

I woke the next morning looked to the sky and thought: "We'll see how this year goes" true story...what's on your 2025 agenda???

FYI I don't make New Year's resolutions, they set you up to fail. I set goals every month all year long. That's all.

Some stranger somewhere remembers you because you were a disgusting whore. The more you know...

I don't chase, I attract. What belongs to me will find me.

Caught Blink Twice the directorial debut of Zoe Kravitz. There's that.

If it doesn't help me to grow or flow, it's a no

Also caught Juror #2 directed by Clint Eastwood....loved it!!!

New Year, New Me, I'm gonna be worse (you have been warned)

As I predicted Demi Moore is now a contender for an Academy Award nomination for The Substance

Woman Crush of The Week - Courtney Cox for her performance in Shining Vale. She really captures the chaos of the creative process

The Word Used To Describe Someone Offended By Memes: Little Bitch

I'm going to visit you tonight, that's all you need to know

What's your favorite movie you've seen this year? Mine? The Substance

I've been having some really weird and stressful dreams of late, how about you?

"All is quiet on New Year's Day

A world in white gets underway

I want to be with you

Be with you night and day

Nothing changes on New Year's Day

On New Year's Day

I will be with you again

I will be with you again" 

New Year's Day, U2

It's New Year's Day the perfect time to Hump Day & Chill. Happy 2025 Minions!!!

Heading Into 2025

See Paul Rudd, See Paul Rudd Run, See Paul Rudd Run on the beach, run Paul, run!

2025 is coming at ya whether you prepared or not. There are many reasons to proceed with extreme caution. There are also many reasons to throw said caution to the wind. 

Ever since the Pandemic Lockdown I've been having trouble getting my fitness groove back and losing a much needed 20lbs (I've already started)

Well I'm using 55 yead old Mr. Rudd as my spirit animal, being a man in my 50's as well. Now I don't ever think I will reach the heights that he has, but I will obtain my personal best like I did pre-lockdown while I was in my early 50's.

Thus whatever your personal goal, heading into 2025 bend it like Paul. Or whoever you choose to be your motivational warrior.

That's all.

Sh!t Eminem Says -

Self awareness is a quality that is necessary in the world we live in, yet many do not possess it. When I saw this quote straight outta Eminem I thought: Good for him, he knows he's mellowed, yet owns how he used to be.

Thus today I decree we shall bend it like Eminem. I already do. But may of you need to get clue and catch up.

Mic Drop.

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow...

I was sad to hear that Olivia Hussey had passed away yesterday. I remember first seeing her in Franco Zeffirelli's Romeo and Juliet my Freshman year in college in my humanities class. I was quite smitten with her from then on.

She also starred in one of my favorite horror movies, Bob Clark's Black Christmas 1974. It was ahead of it's time and was the blueprint for many other movies in the genre.

The odd part is I had been thinking of her these past couple of weeks as I follow her on Instagram and noticed she hadn't posted in a while (she posted pretty regularly.) I knew something was up, just not what.

Parting is such sweet sorrow...

Deeper And Deeper

Are Bananas A Carb?
Madonna & Co

"Deeper and deeper, and deeper, and deeper

Sweeter and sweeter, and sweeter, and sweeter

I can't help falling in love
I fall deeper and deeper the further I go..."

Hey Minions, I hope you enjoy this still of Madonna & Co. from her classic hit Deeper And Deeper going bananas.

TGIF!
