What I need is a partner who can keep me semi grounded and with whom love making may offer ever greater emotional satisfaction. But need time to meet someone first. 😂

Good night and sweet dreams.
May your Sunday be memorable for all the right reasons!

I have an album due out Friday. I had to spend all day & evening cancelling then republishing. Not done but I'm finally going to bed for a while: just pure exhaustion. I never made a mistake like this before.
I lack control when the emotional satisfaction builds in the process of creation.

I just wish my brain would not get so creative when I'm supposed to get sleep. Up 2 days straight again and still have plenty of work to do as I had to cancel and they fully resubmit the new album due to a radio edit of a song which cut the album by 2 minutes and I designed my album carefully.

That led me to stay up all night penning a new lyric and music composition. I'll be recording "Cloud City" as a blues jazz fusion soon. 😊

I openly call it Fascism.
And my next album drop will thank the appropriate people while also calling to action the public by pointing fingers at the evil Sith Lord Darth FascistDictatorous himself, President Trump. Drops Friday 10/24.

We each possess ideological & theological beliefs. I politely pen lyrics & compose music into songs, but some are just comic sarcasm.

We create music to reduce listener anxiety, so our song/genre catalogue offers many lensed viewpoints.

The screenshot below is a quoted retweet that I posted today on X (Twitter). While not directly regarding sexism, it points to the bigger issue in our society, which I address in my post.

[Quoted repost on X (Twitter) of one of my posts:]

Nothing to think about. If people are happy together, their differences are YOUR PERCEPTION ONLY. Your mind must be a moralist dilemma, as you believe you have a right to look negatively at others because they do not match your myopic world view.
Get yourself therapy.

[Original post is a query from a user named Tokyo:]

Be honest

How do you feel about racially mixed marriages and relationships?

The Admiral in charge of military strikes in the Caribbean resigns as US forces are being built up in the region for possible attacks on Venezuela, at the same time Hegseth forces the Pentagon press out of the building with onerous censorship rules.

Nothing to see here.

Cloud City (2 of 2)

Meanwhile, missing his target the waiter, the assassin made a hasty retreat, stage left, through the lower corner exit. 🌩️💫

Now humor after that dark Halloween oriented Cloud City story:

Cloud City is a rough neighborhood.
An unexpected slash from an assassin on the left cut the champagne bottle in the waiter's right hand, splitting it in two. The waiter fell back towards the lower right corner, while the impact scared him so deeply he let out a thunderous outcry.

Wow, I really need to rest more. My reread after posting makes it clear t my reply above doesn't read properly:
from an "8" for "I";
to "kinks" for "links"...
At least the links work this time! 😂

May your daughters all lead much better lives, just as I wish for my own.
I wish the same to all women as we live under a harsh fascist totalitarian rule where our constitution is meaningless, except when Trump himself can benefit.

My mom worked. I have 3 sisters, & both a daughter & nieces. I witnessed what they & my female friends/coworkers dealt with regularly.
I never thought twice about making it my first single. Needed cleanup & new stems, but my gr8 friend🩵 Karen Brandt(RIP) belted it out before cancer claimed her.

If 8 made a typo leaving of a character, I apologize. I usually test my kinks but was likely rushing as I am under the weather again.

As for a working link, see if one of these works properly.

#PokemonGo's new level system kicked in a day early. Update and just expect to restart once or twice when you start the game for your new level and other new features to kick in - like another egg?
So only player XP (with lower requirements) is used up to lvl 70. Then more requirements until 80.

Cori,
Interesting lighting for a nice photo. Is that you?

As a fellow song writer, I'm curious as to what style(s) you enjoy writing?

And you can verify my works on our WIP website (ALL music links work at least 😂):

I think tariffs hurt consumers, police shouldn't wear masks, and the President must obey the law - and shouldn't use his office to run personal profit-making schemes on the side.

This apparently makes me a radical Marxist.

While I was in the Marines I met many who suffered the horrors of war (Viet Nam). Their stories are too horrible to tell and they were too young to bear them. It is despicable that they are losing benefits that are “guaranteed” to them by their enlistment contracts.
