C is for - Comfortably Numb



My hands felt just like two balloons. 
Now I've got that feeling once again 
I can't explain you would not understand 
This is not how I am. 
I have become comfortably numb.
Comfortably Numb
The Wall, 1982

 I read recently that the lyrics were inspired by Roger Waters being terribly sick before a show. As they say, "The show must go on". While we picture a drug addict getting his "fix" it was more like a musician needing a flu shot. Did I ruin the visual for your pot heads out there? 

 I love this song and I just discovered this video - enjoy! 

 Watch it all the way through. It is a perfect example of Pink Floyd's phenomenal presence on stage. 

I would have done anything to see this performance live. Well almost anything... :)

 What is your favorite Pink Floyd song?

B ~ Beetlejuice

Before Winona Ryder hit the Stranger Things scene and Alec Baldwin finding his muse in Donald Trump, they were rocking Harry Belafonte in Tim Burton's, Beetlejuice. Oh, Gena Davis was there too. Beetlejuice was released in 1988 and became an instant hit - launching its own animated series. And, there are rumors of a remake or sequel sometime in the future. Make it happen, Hollywood! If you didn't have a fascination with death, you did after watching this movie. Okay, I did/do. I even have my own copy of the handbook so I'm prepared. Yet, I am still hesitant in saying Beetlejuice 3xs. Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice... nah. You first. Are you a fan? Tell me your favorite scene/s in the comments below. See you tomorrow for "C"

Because I can

How often do we hear that today? "Because I can."  It explains the attitudes of people today. This post kind of ties into the one I did last week. Being mean on the Internet.  This attitude has dug deep in today's society. We are empowered to do whatever we want, only God can judge us, YOLO... You may be asking yourself, "well, what is wrong with that outlook?" I'm not sure there is anything "wrong" but there should be a limit to this way of thinking. We all need to remember what we do does in fact effect those around us. It doesn't matter if we even know them. I'm not talking about being offended. I have a whole other post coming out about being offended.  Let's take the term YOLO for a minute. You Only Live Once. No, you live everyday. You die once. So those crazy things you do because you can, you will have to live with the consequences later. It's not like trying something new like water skiing. People are doing horrible o...

Capricorn

Capricorn ~ The Goat December 22 - January 20 This zodiac sign is a sign of stability, calmness, and maturity. Individuals born under this sign are typically not risk takers. They are kind and considerate but will flip out on you in a flash. The tarot for Capricorn is The Devil. Symbol of control and addiction. Okay.... Capricorn Women are traditional in most aspects of their life. Stubborn and rarely can be lead in a different direction. Sexually they are, well lets just say after she sheds that business suit and sensible undies... watch out! It's on like Donkey Kong! Capricorn Men are typically conservative and follow the rules. They tend to be "loners" or have few in their circles. Some have the appearance of being cold and emotionally aloof, but it is more of a defense tactic. They take love seriously and are not usually players or cheaters. In the bedroom they are surprisingly "effective". They "bring it" so to speak. Go Capricorns...
