No one gets out alive, every day is do or die
The one thing you leave behind
Is how did you love.. how did you love
It's not what you believe
Those prayers will make you bleed
But while you're on your knees
How did you love.. how did you love?

This ain't no cross to bury, we are the judge &jury 🔥
Hi friends, old and new!!

Hey friends..

Going thru some heavy shit in my life. I'm not one to post everything online, but I know how it feels when someone disappears and you don't know where they went.

I'm alive. Just not gonna post much til it's handled, or til the pressure dies down.

Love, peace, & chicken grease 🤘

Honestly, it's kinda relaxing to watch a show from the 90s or 00s, with commercials, these days. I know *tons* of people who absolutely abhor commercials, and I get why, but I'm able to get up and go to the bathroom or get more tea without missing anything.

Maybe it's just me, idk 😂🙃

On The Other App, I randomly came across the photo that inspired this painting, posted by my now good friend. She took this as one chapter in her life closed and another opened. I called it New Beginnings.

It now hangs in her WFH office.

I was the kid (10yo) who begged to watch The Exorcist, and laughed the whole way thru - it's still one of my favourite horror movies.

My mom was raised in a Christian household.. She powered thru her daughter "fun fact"-ing her way thru the projectile vomit scene.

I'm fun at parties 😂😂😂
Did you watch R rated movies before you were 17? If you did, do you remember what your first R rated movie was?

Mine was Starship Troopers. Not sure exactly how old I was but I couldn't have been older than 11 based on where we lived

All this worldly stuff has inspired a section of one of my books...

Oh no. Someone's about to have an existential crisis 🙃 Sorry in advance to my character! LMAO

Grab your coffee for your morning music fact! ☕

"Jingle Bells" was the original Thanksgiving song. In 1850, James Lord Pierpont composed the song for his Thanksgiving Sunday school class, originally called "The One Horse Open Sleigh"

In 1859, he re-copyrighted it to both names.

Happy Holidays 🦃

Midday music fun fact? 🎶

"Closing Time" by Semisonic has been used by some to indicate that they're closing for the day

Did you know it was written after Dan Wilson found out he was gonna be a dad to his daughter Coco? 🖤 The song is a metaphor for "get your ya-yas out, life's about to change"

I love when you're enjoying a beautiful autumn day, window wide open, and someone with good music taste drives by.

No come baaaack! I HEAR VAN HALEN, COME BACK!

I. Am. Dying.

THIS is the movie you were filming when you got all "do you know who I am" with my husband at his place of work in Ontario??

A Hallmark version of Frosty the frickin Snowman???
If this doesn’t win an Academy Award I riot this is actual art

Morning. Got your coffee? ☕

The "first music video" is a highly contested part of music history - however, it's pretty solidly agreed that a promo video is one of the first music videos for the rock genre.

"Subterranean Homesick Blues" by Bob Dylan, shot for his Don't Look Back tour doc in 1965.

Spending my day listening to Financial Audit, doing skincare, and mass applying to jobs while the rain lightly patters on the awning over my open window.

I think I'll be alright 🖤

Morning Coffee Fun Fact: music edition! 🎶

The TPS-L2 was the first commercially available personal cassette player, aka Walkman, in 1979. This player had two headphone jacks labeled "guys" &"dolls" - yep, you could listen to the same music at the same time as a friend with a button push! 🎧
