Current Mood

Anna Paquin

It's the Saturday before Easter and all through the house not a creature was stirring except for my Current Mood.

I don't know about you but my inner beast is stirring and it's not playing. Something's got to give and it's here to help me along the way. 

"Yes" it's going to get pertty hairy and such but in the end it will be over and worth it.

Here to represent my inner beast is Anna Paquin straight outta Trick r Treat...Grrrrrrrrrowl!!!

For the record my inner beast actually barks at the moon, but I thought a growl was more universal and I wanted everyone to relate.

What's your inner beast like?

Kinds Of American Film Comedy


In his 42nd book, prolific writer and scholar Wes D. Gehring presents the well-researched and intricately crafted Kinds of American Film Comedy: Six Core Genres and Their Literary Roots. Gehring breaks down six core comedy genres in an accessible style, yet academic enough for classroom use. This time, he ties in the predecessor of comedic cinema: print humor.


Gehring states, "This study needed at least a lengthy, if compressed, opening chapter survey upon which to build. It is keyed on several important pressure points, which in their totality, provide a basic foundation for the film-focused chapters to follow." And in this chapter, he is able to succinctly introduce the foundations of U.S. comedy that underpin the genres of cinematic comedy.


Dr. Ashley Donnelly, Professor of Media at Ball State University, says, "Though knowing him as a film scholar in the truest sense, I've always considered Gehring's work to be rooted in social history. His works take the people, the genres, and the history of cinema and intertwine them with the stories of the period he's exploring, the complexities of his subjects' lives, and the events and moments in time that touched the world, leaving generational, unconscious connections between the screen and the most important moments of human history."


This groundbreaking film study begins with a survey of American print humorists from eras leading up to and overlapping the advent of film—including some who worked both on the page and on the screen, like Robert Benchley, Will Rogers, Groucho Marx and W. C. Fields. Six comic film genres are identified as outgrowths of a national tradition of Cracker Barrel philosophers, personality comedy, parody, screwball comedy, romantic comedy and dark comedy.


Gehring says, "The goal here is to place between two covers an updated in-depth look at a still too frequently neglected subject-the core comic film genres, and their integral ties to print humor. Moreover, at some level, comedy is most often about blowing "raspberries" at the world around us. And if one is at all engaged, you are a humor activist a reminder that you are not alone."

Hump Day & Chill

Chloe Cherry


Read the slogan on Chloe Cherry from Euphoria's T-Shirt above. Now Hump Day & Chill and ponder the point.

Makes perfect sense we all like to watch thus sex is used as a selling tool for voyeurs. It's the watching not the actual sex that sells you on whatever they are giving. If sex sold in and of itself then you would be buying whatever they are selling and getting laid.

Now that we've got cleared up it's been an interesting week for me and many others I know. 

So let's get to the real Hump Day & Chill and grab our collective selves an adult beverage of our choice and kick it!

"Yes" that's what we all need to ger over the "Hump"

Hell Together

David Archuleta


I wrote this song based off what my mom told me a few days after I said I was stepping away from our church. She said she was going to step away too and then said, “If you’re going to hell, we’re all going to hell with you.” While we didn’t look at hell as many people do as Latter-day Saints at the time, and even now my transition out of religion has shifted the idea as a whole for me, I understood the sentiment she meant in what she said, and it meant a lot to me. Thank you for always loving and supporting me mom. ❤️ This song is dedicated to those who show unconditional love in a world where it’s so easy to judge things we don’t fully understand, the way my mom showed that love to me.PRE-SAVE HELL TOGETHER

Monday Motivation

Ever so often one has to remind one's self they are not the darkness and go into the light.

After the rather shall we say surreal week I had, it's jusr what I need as a mental reset. 

Thus our Monday Motivation is you are the light not the darkness. It all depends on you, you have the control to make a choice on which kind of energy you bring into your life.

Believe me, I have been through some crazy negative stuff of late (trust me you don't want to know) and through it all I refused to surrender my light to bad mojo that was trying to bring me to it's level of disgusting behavior and attitude.

Thank you to my resilence and strength. 

Let us move forward instead of sideways and go out there and light up the world around us. Because no one has time for that other Sh!t!
