Shut up and Dance with Me

My family gave me a book, a special TBN Edition for You’ll get through This: Hope and Help for Your turbulent Times by Max Lucado; in all the Word of the Day at Dictionary.com - probity: integrity and uprightness; honesty, I had not taken it to heart or taken action, until I today heard a song on Mix 93.3 to title this post.

Sometime between a pending webinar, “Honest Trailer tackles Die Hard,” Super Power Beat Down, and the actual time of said webinar, I decided to return to sleep and simply complete more applications for employment instead of the webinar.

Give Me a Try

Just give me a Word of the Day from Dictionary.com -
bonhomie - frank and simple good-heartedness.

Until I needed a replacement phone, I had successfully paired my mobile with the hands-free system in my Mitsubishi Lancer, yet changed the presets to include 96.5 The Buzz, where I heard the song to title this post. Also worth noting, a try is a score of five points in rugby, which I only know because of Top Gear UK.

Hey, today my sister celebrates her birthday, so I am watching Redbox with her and my father, yet I have been catching up my sleeping and enjoying episodes from season 2 of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic; I haven’t for quite some time been reminded how awesome Rainbow Dash is, or how great Sparkle® paper towels are!

When season 2 first aired, ‘Sisterhooves Social’ centered on Sweetie Belle, and ‘The Cutie Pox’ had Apple Bloom, so the fandom assumed that ‘May the best pet Win’ would focus on Scootaloo to become a pet for Rainbow Dash. The only way to tie this-this back is to say that my sister has recently adopted a turtle, which in this case is not spelled tortoise.

Words can proceed from my mouth in an unusual order, and the title for yesterday’s post would have been more appropriate with the image of Unicron. “Display my best efforts Breaking Benjamin did,” originally was how the text-to-speech function heard me, so I sounded a bit like Yoda.

Day late, ... short 012

I found no better way to spend an evening than to catch up South Park with Hannah and honorary professor Denton.

With whom I used to perform improvised theater, Denton knows to bring a scene back to the beginning. I also appreciate how the last two seasons of South Park have not let any established thing be dropped or forgotten, so that they can be called back. The season finale included an opening sequence reminiscent of any movie from Steven Seagal, who was featured in an earlier episode to talk about how he was shamed online for his body.

“Be angry and sin not; (Ephesians 4:26-27)
let not the sun go down on your anger,

I should also note that any image on Facebook with a shortened link to DeviantArt was unavailable for a few days this week, because those shortened links were deemed unsafe. Initially, many of my posts could be too high concept.
