My birthday song, my happy world (Part 327)....

Badass Birthdays

On this date, in 1951, in Chicago, Robin Williams was born.

Robin Williams was a celebrated actor and comedian and extremely gifted improvisational personality. He did stand up comedy which allowed him to get on the TV sitcom Mork & Mindy in the late 70s. He made numerous TV appearances over the years, but I think his world wide fame came from the movies he was in.

Popeye

The World According To Garp

Good Morning, Vietnam

Dead Poets Society

Hook

Alladin

Mrs. Doubtfire

The Birdcage

Good Will Hunting

Patch Adams

Happy Feet

Night At The Museum

Among many others!

He has been nominiated for 4 Oscars, winning 1; nominated for 9 Emmys, winning 2; nominated for 12 Golden Globes, winning 6; nominated for 9 Grammys, winning 5; and nominated for 2 BAFTA awards.

Sadly, he dealt with substance abuse and depression at times in his life, and ending up taking his own life in 2014, at the age of 63.

But really, if you've ever seen Robin Williams in...well, in really anything, you'll see why he is absolutely a badass!

The object of my desire, I'm walking on a wire (Part 265)....

Walks 2026

It's warm outside but not hot like Satan's taint like it has been over the last couple weeks. So this afternoon I decided to take a walk. I walked 1.21 miles in 26 minutes.

********************

Seen on today's walk: a love seat, out along the curb. And okay, but why do I see so much discarded furniture on my walks? Here, Here, Here, and Here,

The orange shitgibbon just can't ever be an embarrassment. Not only did he fall sleep at the World Cup (surprise, surprise), but when the Spain team was taking their team photograph, he wouldn't leave the stage. He wandered around a bit and then stayed to the side, despite the FIFA president trying to direct him off. Because obviously he needed his picture all over TV, newspapers and the internet even though he had nothing whatsoever to do with the World Cup. See the pic on the left.

Well, someone finally found a good use for AI. They had his ugly, bloated visage removed from the photo before they put it in their papers or online reports. And good for them.

It's been reported he's also furious about this being down. Don't know if it's true, but it's easy to imagine that it is true. And I hope it is, cause I love it for him when his overinflated ego is punctured. Or better yet, ignored.

But still.......such a fucking embarrassment.

Here is Spanish soccer star immediately after the World Cup Lamine Yamal and his lil brother Kenyne, holding a soccer ball and the winning trophy.

They're just so cute. I've seen several videos where Yamal takes his brother everywhere! He's always spending time with him. They're only like 15 or so years apart, so it's not surprising I guess. But it enjoyable to see then hanging out together....even right after winning the world's biggest sporting event (for the non-USA people. The Super Bowl would be the USA's biggest even).

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1964 in Seattle Washington, Chris Cornell was born.

Chris Cornell was a vocalist, guitarist and lyricist for several bands, and also had a solo career. His two main bands were Soundgarden and Audioslave, and he was a major force in the grundge sound out of Seattle in the early 90s.

List of songs:

With Soundgarden:

Spoonman

Black Hole Sun

Pretty Noose

Burden In My Hand

Blow Up The Outside World

With Audioslave:

Cochise

Show Me How To Live

Be Yourself

And among his other works was the theme to the James Bond movie Casino Royale!

He was nominated for 18 Grammys and won 3.

Sadly, he committed suicide by hanging in 2017 in a Detroit hotel room just an hour after a performance. He struggled with depression all his life.

Nonetheless, that's a pretty impressive repetoire, a pertty badass one actually.

SO.....

I'm watching the World Cup final. I'm not really into soccer, so it surprises me how much I've gotten into some of the games. (how about the France/England "Third Place" game, eh? DAMN!)

Anyway, I'm conflicted on this one. One on hand, I want Argentina to win, because it will probably be Messi's last World Cup, and he's such a big star even *I* know who he is, and wouldn't it be nice for him to go out on top, having won consecutive World Cups?

But on the other hand, the Spanish team is just chock full to the gills of hot sexy maleness!

Lamine Yamal

Marc Curcurella

(obviously, it's the hair with him, love me a good hairthing)

Nico Williams

(even if he's not starting today's game)

So much sexy athletes on the Spanish team.

I'm truly conflicted.

Maybe I'll just sit back and enjoy the game?
