The Monster Of March
And My Favorite Partner In Crime
Birthdays -
yeeeaah, birthdays!!
Another year closer to your own demise.
Birthdays -
frickin' birthdays.
I've kept count of the years, by the wrinkles, forming gracefully, around my eyes.
Birthdays
Many - happy birthdays.
If it weren't for the cake and the ice cream, I'd say, " go take a hike!"
Blasted birthdays
I'll spank myself, thanks -
Unless the cast arrives to celebrate, from the movie, Magic Mike!
Sure, I know I should be thankful,
Every day is a new gift.
But there is something ~ not so funny,
when your face becomes "the gif."
*
So, here's to birthdays!
guess I'll give in,
They are much easier for me to go through -
because, I have a twin.
And he's older, (a whole 5 minutes!)
So, yeah, there's that,
so, as the numbers begin to add up, he'll be there, catching the crap.

So, here's to birthdays.
I hope you agree.
That getting older is much better,
than the view from 6 foot deep.
So, light the candles,
eat all the cake.
And don't let anybody blow you crap,
cause it's your special day!

Moving through Molasses
Inspired by the 1919 Boston Molasses Flood Moving through the Ground feels like moving through molasses — not the kitchen kind, not the syrup on a spoon, but the kind that drowned a city in 1919. Thick. Relentless. Slow enough to watch, heavy enough to crush.

Ludacris and Nelly draw backlash over bookings at MAGA-coded music festival
Ludacris and Nelly headlining a mostly right-wing event is good for them. It’s also great for the genre of hip hop. The two rap veterans have showcased their talents on other stages. Why can’t they perform for mostly MAGA folks and grab that bag?
