Flashback Friday – Eminem – Berzerk (Live on SNL) #FBF
Yeah, I do like some rap, surprise! This performance by Eminem on SNL a few years ago was just awesome. It’s a mixture of live and sampled music. He is a visionary artist who has brought some cool sounds to the genre.
Being A Blogging Neighbor
Many of the graphics I use on my blog come from images searched for on Google. Those images are copyrighted by their sites of origin. I use them in the spirit of non-commercial fair use. My blog is a non-profit, non-revenue generating enterprise.
I do post a lot of original pictures and do so directly on my blog and on Instagram. Those posts are a part of my story and I don’t always want them repeated without permission.
If I post something personal meaning anything related to family I do not give consent to anyone reblogging it for any reason without asking me first. Reblogging is something I do rarely but I think if involves someones private/personal life extra care should be taken. Creating your own work is what blogging is all about and not just re-posting others stuff.
Being a good blogger means being a good neighbor. Be respectful of others work and ask before doing something that might impact ones livelihood. We all blog in community and it’s important to honor the contributions of others.
The Very Last Friday Of 2016!
This is the last Friday of the year and I am very happy about it. Hard to believe that New Years Day is on Sunday (more on that later). Have a great day my friends and fellow bloggers, rock on!
Caffeine Helps Me Human, Coffee Does It For Me
I hope you all have a cup of whatever gets you going this morning. Iced coffee is what is getting me going today.
Do I Wish Harm To Trump and Pence? No But I Wish For Them Four Hard Years.
We have had a lot of deaths of note-worthy people in 2016. Many of them have made significant contributions to the life and culture of this country. Granted I don’t wish ill on anyone but I did make a joke about Donald Trump and Mike Pence being a couple that could be taken.
As we leave 2016 behind and we know what sort of year it’s been I don’t hold hope for 2017. The new administration will do some serious damage to the rights of minorities and the LGBTQ community. They will repeal health care for millions who have been saved by it. They will do serious damage to education and the environment. Donald Trump is already showing his presidency will be Twitter-driven.
His policies will roll back the progress that has been made in making this a more just society for those on the fringes and those who have been denied a seat at the table of equality and justice. We should not abide by this man and he should be challenged at every turn. My fear is that our government will turn back into one that serves a privileged few and those who felt on the outskirts who voted for him will be left behind. So perhaps Trump and Pence need to feel the heat and be held accountable for every person who will be adversely affected in the next four years.
