Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #6 – Comedy

  After another week away from this series (honestly, I forgot I was doing this “How I Became Me” series last week after working a 1-9pm shift and, as I often do, whipping off a zero-effort post to keep my daily post streak alive instead of doing something a bit more in-depth and time-consuming.) Anyhow, […]

Music Monday – “My heart’s like an open book/For the whole world to read/Sometimes nothing keeps me together/At the seams”

Shea and I watched “The Dirt“, the new Netflix Motley Crue biopic this weekend. Lots of songs that were a soundtrack to my high school years for sure including this one… “Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crue

Music Monday – “So needless to say/I’m odds and ends/I’ll be stumbling away/Slowly learning that life is OK/Say after me/It’s no better to be safe than sorry

I don’t normally add a lot of my own thoughts to Music Monday posts but wow, hearing this song that I loved as a kid (yes, the innovative video was a big part of that!) slowed down and done acoustically really makes it heartbreaking and adds a feeling of nostalgia (in multiple ways) that the […]

Friday Fun Link – Watching Something On The Internet That I Loved A Long Time Before The Internet

 

The Homophobic Version of “Laurel” or “Yanny”?

There were conflicting opinions with some people thinking the on-ice mics caught him yelling “Fucking faggot” (which wouldn’t be the first time this has happened […]

Music Monday – “Another summer wasted in the Battlefords/On a banana seat bike with a hockey card in the spokes”

“Battlefords” – Hawksley Workman

Music Monday – “Away from these memories, my life I must spend/Adios amigo, adios my friend”

Back from a one week all-inclusive holiday (even from blogging if you can believe it!) but lots to start catching up on – a review of our resort for sure (last year, it took me three weeks to cobble together a review of our resort – I wonder if I’ll be quicker this year?) Also […]

$100 Tequila Drink in Tequila, Mexico

It costs $100 but not because it’s expensive tequila in a small snifter!  

Friday Fun Link – What If Everyone Forgot The Beatles But One Person?

This movie looks great:  

Congrats Michelle and Adam! (aka Mexican Wedded Bliss Is Better Than Mexican Prison Stress!)

You know you’ve exhausted every possible video on YouTube about your upcoming all-inclusive resort when you start delving into the whole sub-genre of wedding videos – glossy, professionally shot montages of all the expected scenes – the wedding party getting ready while drinking mimosas, the close-up of the rings, the awkward speeches. Okay, I have […]
