My Morning Mixes: Friday, Sweet Friday!

Good Morning, My Peeps.

🙂

Hope You’re All Swell.

Me?

Can’t Complain, I Suppose.

Still Got A Bad Headache.

That Part Ain’t So Good.

Nor Is The Muscle Strain On My Right Side.

Otherwise?

Well…

…Otherwise I’m Pretty Hunky-Groovy’ish.

I’m Sure The Headache Is Because Of The Freakin’ Weather.

T’Is Rainy And Humid.

The Air Feels Thick Enough To Cut With A Knife.

No Foolin’, Kiddies.

No Foolin’, Indeed.

HOWEVER…

…Regardless Of Said Headache…

…Or Of Said Muscle Strain…

…Or Of Said Weather…

…I Still Decided To Head-Out On A Walk-About.

I Hadn’t Gone Out-&-About For The Past Couple Days…

…So I Wanted To Make Damn Sure I Went Out-&-About Today.

For Today’s Walk…

…I Didn’t Do The Random Shuffling Of My Walkin’ Tunes.

Instead, I Made-Up A Little Playlist.

Listed Below Are The Songs I Ended-Up Jamming To This Morning.

… … …

I Began The Walk With…

“SPECIAL K“

by PLACEBO

…Since It’s A Pounding Jam Jam Jam-Type Jam.

It Totally Works At Getting The Blood Pumping…

…And At Getting The Feet Moving…

…Fo SHO Fo SHO, My Peeps.

😀

The Second Song On My Playlist Was An Old-School Favorite…

“MY BEST FRIEND’S GIRL“

by THE CARS

!!! !!!

🙂

BECK‘s

“THE NEW POLLUTION“

…Was Up Next!

Always A Great Jam, My Peeps.

ALWAYS!

😉

And Then, I Went With…

“NOTORIOUS“

by DURAN DURAN

…Which Is A Totally Fun Jam…

…And It Has All The Power One Needs To Get Those Feet A Movin’ Movin’ Movin’!

😀

I Then Took The Tunage In A Totally Different Direction With…

“DON’T LET ME SLIDE“

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Since I Just Knew I’d Be In Cruise Mode By This Point In The Walk.

🙂

QUARTERFLASH

…Was Up Next With…

“CRUISIN’ WITH THE DEUCE“

…One Of The Best Songs On The Whole Album!

😀

I Followed Them Up With A Little…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…And Their Wonderfully Wonderful Jam…

“FORTUNATE SON“

!!! !!!

🙂

“YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT“

by THE ROLLING STONES

…Was Up Next!

T’Is My 2ND Favorite STONES Jam Of ALL-TIME, By The Way!

😉

I Went With…

ASIA‘s

“HEAT OF THE MOMENT“

…Next.

Always A Pretty Nifty Jam, Kiddies.

Wouldn’t You Agree?

Sure You Would!!

🙂

I Hit-Up Some…

TALKING HEADS

…Next, With The Live Version Of Their Totally Awesomely Fun Fun Jam…

“WHAT A DAY THAT WAS“

…Which Is/Was/Always-Will-Be A Personal Favorite!

It Gets You To Steppin’, My Peeps, Fo SHO!

😀

I Was Nearing The End Of My Stroll At This Point.

I Knew I Had Time For One OR Two More Jams…

…So I Decided To Kick-It With…

KISS

…And Their Totally Classic Jam…

“ROCK BOTTOM“

…Which Is Totally My Fave-Fave KISS Jam Of ALL-TIME!

😀

And Then, Finally, I Went Into Cool-Down-Mode.

What Better Jam To Cool Down To Than…

“BLUE DRESS“

by DEPECHE MODE

…Which Is (likely) The Most Forgotten Tune On Their Biggest Album, VIOLATOR.

And That’s A Shame, My Peeps.

It’s A Very Cool Song, Fo FLIPPIN’ SHO!!!

🙂

… … …

ANWAY, Kiddies…

…I Think It’s About Time For Me To Jump Into The Shower.

So…

…Y’all Should Do Your Best To Take It Easy AND Take Care Of Yourselves.

It’s FRIDAY, Ya Know, So Taking It Easy AND Taking Care Of Yourself Is A Total MUST DO.

Think Y’all Can Handle That?!

SURE YOU CAN!!!

😀

Enjoy The Day, Kids.

THE WEEKEND HAS ARRIVED!!!

Well…

…Almost.

😉

My Morning Mixes: From A “HOLY DIVER” To A “JUDAS”

Good Morning, My Peeps.

Wow…

…It Has Already Been A Very Long Day.

I Was Rudely Awakened By Myself Around 4A.M. And Haven’t Felt Like Doing Much Since Then.

My Body Aches.

My Head Aches.

When I Awoke…

…My First Thought Was…

"Who The Hell Ordered This Hangover?"

…Until I Realized…

"You Didn't Do Anything That Should Prompt A Hangover, Dude."

And That’s True…

…I Didn’t Do Anything.

So Why The Groggy Feeling?

Why The Morning Surprise Of Feeling As Though I Had Awakened Within A Fog?

I Simply Do Not Know.

It Is…

…However…

…The Second Time This Has Happened In The Past Three Days.

(*shrugs*)

(*sighs*)

I Simply Dunno, Ya Know Ya Know?!

ANYWAY…

…Onto Better Things.

The Morning Walk-About Was Handled Quickly Enough.

I Wanted To Get Out And Move…

…And Did My Best To Feed That Want.

I Didn’t Get Very Far From The House…

…But There Are Enough Side-Streets And Such…

…So I Was Able To Zigzag About.

The Walk Was Short…

…Sweet…

…And Loaded With Great Tunage.

I Decided To Switch-Up My Morning Method, Also.

I Let All The Music Be Decided By Random Chance EXCEPT For My Final Song.

That Song Was A Personal Pre-Selection.

The Walk Began At Random With…

“HOLY DIVER“

by DIO

🙂

It’s A Classic Jam I’ve Known (almost) My Whole Life…

…So It Was A Pleasant Surprise When “Mr. Shuffle” Decided Upon It.

That Guy Has Fun Taste…

…Sometimes.

😉

Anyway…

…That Carried Over To The Second Song…

“LIVE AND LET DIE“

by PAUL McCARTNEY And WINGS

🙂

…AND…

…To The Third Song…

“(JUST LIKE) STARTING OVER“

by JOHN LENNON

🙂

Now…

…By This Point In The Walk…

…I Feel Nadda But High Praise For “Mr. Shuffle”…

…As He’s Hittin’ Me Hard With Quality Jams.

Next Up Was…

“THE BAD TOUCH“

by BLOODHOUND GANG

🙂

…And Then…

“RAISE YOUR HANDS“

by BON JOVI

🙂

Awesome Jams, I Must Say.

Some Of My Fave Faves Were Popping-Up Today.

It’s Easy To Derive Motivational Sustenance From Something When It’s Making You Happy To Be Doing What You’re Doing.

I’m One Who’s Not Generally In The Best Of Moods…

…But This Morning’s Walk Was Different.

Fired Back At Me Next Was…

“UP AROUND THE BEND“

by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

🙂

…Which Is Always A Plus Plus Jam, Fo SHO!

As That One Was Ending…

…I Quickly Pushed The Next Button…

…And A Little…

DAVID BOWIE

…With…

“SLOW BURN“

…Was Laid Upon Me.

🙂

Now That, To Me, Is A Killer Great Jam.

I Know A Lot Of People Who Entirely Did Not Like That DAVID BOWIE Album…

…But You Can Rest Assured I Wasn’t One Of Those.

I Can GENERALLY Find A Couple Two Or Three Jams On Almost Any Album That I’d Call Worth A Listen.

ANYWAY…

…Moving On, Moving On…

…Up Next Was…

“LONGVIEW“

by GREEN DAY

🙂

…And Quickly Thereafter Was…

“L.O.V.“

by FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS

🙂

The Final Song Of The Morning…

…As The Headline Suggests…

…Was…

“JUDAS“

(LIVE)

by DEPECHE MODE

🙂

I Wanted Something Slower To Calm Down With As I Ended My Little Wandering…

…And This Was The Song I’d Pre-Selected For Today.

It’s A True Gem Of A Song…

…And One…

…Sadly…

…Most People Have Never Heard…

…Nor Have They Ever Heard Of It.

They Know The Name “JUDAS” But They Have/Had No Clue It Was Ever A Song.

ANYWAY, My Peeps…

…It Was A Nice Walk-About…

…And I Was A Hot-&-Sweaty Mess When I Cruised Back To The Ranch.

I’ve Been Trying To Relax Since…

…But Am Having Trouble Doing So.

SO SO SO…

…I Decided That, Perhaps, A Little Blogging Would Aide In My Quest For Relax Glory.

And It Appears To Be Working…

…At Least A Tad.

At This Point…

…I’ll Take A Tad, Fo Flippin’ SHO, Kiddies.

😉

Hope All Is Well In Your Worlds, Cats AND Kittens.

Things Appear To Be, At The Least, Somewhat Functional In Mine.

I’ll Take That, Also.

YOU KNOW IT!!!

😀

The Song Stuck In My Head: 2AM Edition: “SOMEDAY NEVER COMES” by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (1972)

“…And Then, One Day In April…

…I Wasn’t Even There…

…For There Were Many Things I Didn’t Know…

…A Son Was Born To Me…

…Mama Held His Hand…

…Sayin’…

…”Someday, You’ll Understand. …“

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

“SOMEDAY NEVER COMES” Is Off The Final Album By CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL Called “MARDI GRAS” From 1972.

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

“…Well, I’m Here To Tell You Now…

…Each And Every Mother’s Son…

…You Better Learn It Fast…

…You Better Learn It Young…

…’Cause SOMEDAY NEVER COMES. …“

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

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

*** *** ***

***

\*/

So…

…Yeah…

…It’s After 2AM Now…

…And I’m Still Awake.

I Decided A Little Music Might Be Soothing.

That It Might Relax Me A Little More So MAYBE I Could Fall Asleep.

But It Didn’t Work.

It Didn’t Work At All, Actually.

It Just Made Me Want To Write A Little Bit.

Listening To…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…Is Always An Absolute Blast.

I Love Their Sound…

…AND…

…I Love Their Lyrics.

This Song Just Snapped At Me And Said…

“Dude, This Is The Song Song.”

And It Is, Actually.

Remember Before How I’ve Always Told You There’s A HUGE DIFFERENCE Between…

“MY FAVORITE“

…And…

“THE BEST“

??? ???

Well, This Is One Of Those Moments.

“HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN“

…And…

“LOOKIN’ OUT MY BACK DOOR“

…And…

“BAD MOON RISING”

…And…

“DOWN ON THE CORNER“

…And…

“BORN ON THE BAYOU“

…Are ALL Classic Favorites.

But If You’re Looking For Their BEST Work…

“SOMEDAY NEVER COMES“

…May Very Well Be IT.

It’s A Very Simple Song.

But It’s Almost A Perfect Simple Song.

When I Hear…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…Regardless Of Where…

…When…

…How…

…Or…

…Why…

…I Think About My Nephew.

He’s Coming Home In A Couple Days To Stay With Us For A Month Or So.

I’m Super Stoked, To Say The Least.

I Worry About Him All The Time…

…So…

…I’ve Been Prepping!

We’ve Got…

“SPACEBALLS“

…On BLURAY…

…Of Course!

We’re Going To Get To Play A Lot Of Baseball In The Yard When It’s Not So Blistering Hot HoT HOT Outside.

And A Friend Has Stated That We’re Totally Cool To Go Swimming In Their Pool Anytime We Please.

That’s Uber Nifty, Fo SHO!

… … … … … … …

… … … … …

Sorry About That.

I Was Babbling.

ANYWAY…

…Moving-On, Moving-On.

But YES…

…I DO Believe That…

“SOMEDAY NEVER COMES“

…Could Be Their Best Piece Of Work.

They Have So So SO MANY Songs I Love And Enjoy.

So Let The Great Debate Begin.

IS…

“SOMEDAY NEVER COMES“

…Their BEST?!?!?!

If So, Let Me Know.

If Not So…

…Still Let Me Know!!!

😉

I’m Gonna End This Now.

I’m Tired, And Still Have My Copy-Editing To Do.

So PLEASE, My Peeps…

…Try Try TRY To ENJOY Your WEEKEND!!!

I Shall Endeavor To Do Exactly The Same Thing.

Much Love To Y’all.

😀

Songs That Make Me Smile: “DOWN ON THE CORNER” by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (1969)

“Early In The Evenin’…

…Just About Supper Time…

…Over By The Courthouse…

…They’re Startin’ To Unwind…

…Four Kids On The Corner…

…Tryin’ To Bring You Up…

…Willy Picks A Tune Out…

…And He Blows It On The Harp…“

… … … … …

“…Down On The Corner…

…Out In The Street…

…Willy And The Poorboys Are Playin’…

…Bring A Nickle…

…Tap Your Feet…“

… … … … …

“DOWN ON THE CORNER” Is Off The 1969 Album “WILLY AND THE POOR BOYS” By CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

… … … … …

“…Rooster Hits The Washboard…

…And People Just Got To Smile…

…Blinky Thumps The Gut Bass…

…And Solos For A While…

…Poorboy Twangs The Rhythm Out…

…On His Kalamazoo…

…Willy Goes Into A Dance…

…And Doubles On Kazoo…“

… … … … …

“…Down On The Corner…

…Out In The Street…

…Willy And The Poorboys Are Playin’…

…Bring A Nickle…

…Tap Your Feet. …“

… … … … …

<><><>…<><><>…<><><>

<><><>…<><><>

<><><>

Alright, My Peeps…

…I Know I Could (likely) Just Say…

"This Song Makes Me Smile Because It's By CREEDENCE."

…And A Great Many Of You Would (likely) Say…

"Well, He Does Have A Point. It Is By CREEDENCE. So The Smile Factor Already Exists."

…Or Something To That Effect.

HOWEVER…

…I Have Other Reasons As To Why This Song…

“DOWN ON THE CORNER“

by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…Pops A Smile Upon My (generally) Cold Exterior.

You See, My Peeps…

“DOWN ON THE CORNER“

…Reminds Me Of My 9-Year-Old Nephew, Ari Grey.

Even At Just 9yo…

…He’s Already A HUGE Fan Of C.C.R.

And WE…

…He & I…

…Have The Songs WE Enjoy Listening To The Most.

“HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN?“

“BORN ON THE BAYOU“

“LOOKIN’ OUT MY BACK-DOOR“

“BAD MOON RISING“

“COMMOTION“

etc etc etc

All Major League CLASSICS, Fo SHO.

But This Song…

“DOWN ON THE CORNER“

…Reminds Me Of Him A Hoppin’-Bundle For One Major Reason…

…WE Actually Took The Time-Out To Try And Figure-Out Exactly What They Were Singin’-’bout!!!

I Knew Some Of The Words.

Ari Grey Knew Some Of Them, Also.

But Neither Of Us Knew Much More Than The Chorus…

…And Even That Was Hazy, At BEST.

So We Listened To It Over…

…And Over…

…And Over And Over And OVER…

…Until We Were Pretty Sure We Had It All Ferreted-Out.

THEN I Decided To Look-Up The Lyrics…

…Ya Know, Just To See How Right We Were.

In A Total “Sheesh!” Moment…

…I Was Humbled To Find My Nephew Was Much Closer To What Was Actually Sung Than I Was.

It Shouldn’t Have Surprised Me…

…As He’s Exceptionally Intelligent AND Perceptive.

I Suppose I Was More Shocked At Being Shown-Up By A Man Of Just 9-Years.

BUT…

…I Wouldn’t Trade That Moment For Anything.

And That Moment Has Created A Very VERY Lasting Impression On Me.

Now I Can’t Listen To A Single Song By…

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

…Without Thinking About My Nephew.

I Shake My Head…

(in a good way)

…And I Smile…

(in a great way)

…And I Reflect…

(all the way)

.Period.

Isn’t That Was Great Songs Are Supposed To Do?

I Use The Term “Infectious” A Lot When Talking About Music I Love…

…And I Do So Because That’s EXACTLY How It Seems/Appears/Feels To Me.

Great Songs Can Dig Themselves Into You Very VERY Deeply…

…And Create Very VERY Lasting Impressions.

“DOWN ON THE CORNER“

…Does This So Very VERY Well.

It’s A Great Song…

…That Comes With A Lot More Attached To It.

At Least…

…It Does For ME.

And THAT Is EXACTLY Why This Song Makes Me Smile So Very VERY Much.

😀

When Does Unlucky #13 Become Lucky? When It’s The Number Of Songs On Your Playlist!!!

Alright, My Peeps.

I Just Got Home From My Morning Walk-About…

…And By Golly Jeez Am I SWEATING!

It’s Not So Much The Heat…

…It’s The Humidity.

😉

(hehehehehe)

BUT…

…It Really Felt Great To Stretch The Ole Legs And Listen To Some Quality Jams.

This Morning…

…There Were 13 Songs That Ended-Up Being Played…

…With Some Of Said 13 Being Played Twice.

I Began, As Usual, With Something To Get Me Going Right Away.

The First Song Was…

“LOVE SHACK“

by THE B-52’s

!!! !!! !!!

That Put A Little Spring Into My Step, And I Was Off!!!

Next Up Was…

“PEGGY SUE“

by BUDDY HOLLY

!!! !!! !!!

…And Then I Went Right Into…

“HEY TONIGHT“

by CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

!!! !!! !!!

I Followed Those Fun Selections With…

“BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE (Live)”

by TALKING HEADS

!!! !!! !!!

…And…

“IT’S CALLED A HEART“

PRIMUS

…Was Up Next With…

“SHAKE HANDS WITH BEEF“

And Then It Was On To…

“IN THE SUMMERTIME“

by MUNGO JERRY

!!! !!! !!!

I Slowed It Up A Bit Then With…

“DON’T LET ME SLIDE“

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

!!! !!! !!!

Finally…

…To Finish Off My Aimless Wandering…

…I Kicked It In The Teeth And Popped On…

“GET BACK“

by THE BEATLES

!!! !!! !!!

Needless To Say, My Peeps…

…This Morning’s Walk Was EXCEPTIONAL!

I Covered A Lot Of Ground.

I Made Good Time.

I Sweated My Ass Off.

I Listened To Some Great GREAT JAMS!

So What More Could I Have Asked/Hoped For?!?

CORRECT, My Peeps!

I Couldn’t Have Really Asked/Hoped For Much More Of Anything.

This Monday Is Beginning Pretty Well, Fo SHO!

How’z ’bout YOUR Monday, My Peeps?!?

Is It Shaping Up To Be A Fine Navy Day?!?

Or…

…Is It Shaping Up To Be Like Most Every Other Monday?

I Suppose WE SHALL SEE, As They Say.

😉

😀

Did Up A Couple Quick Miles, Today. Nearly Passed-Out. But The Tunage SAVED-MY-ASS Once Again!!!

This Morning Began Like Any Other.

I Was Awake Too Damned Early…

…And Had Little To Occupy Myself With For A Bit.

Finally…

…I Says To Myself…

“Dude, Just Put Your GD Shoes On And HIT IT!”

Sometimes…

…I’m Simply Frothing-Over With Excellent Personal Advice.

At Least…

…Excellent Personal Advice For ME.

So I Popped On The Ole NEW BALANCES…

(Still The Best Walking Shoes I've Ever Owned)

…And I Hit The Dusty Trail.

The Temperature Was Acceptable.

The Humidity Level Was NOT Acceptable.

But…

…There Was A Steady Breeze.

To ME…

…Those All Added-Up To…

“Get Your Butt Out There And Kick This Pig!”

And So I Did.

THANK JEEBUS HARRY For QUALITY TUNAGE!!!

In No Real Order…

If The Oddly-Wild Variations In My Music Styling And Taste Hasn’t Become Blindingly Obvious To Y’all Yet…

…Well…

…Then You Just Don’t Know My Personality.

I Am…

(likely)

…One Of The MOST Random Human Beings You’re Likely To Encounter.

At Least, That’s What My Friends Say.

I Don’t Have Many Of Them…

…Though I’m Starting To Feel That’s A Good Thing.

I’d Rather Have 3 Or 4 People In My World Who DO Get Me…

…As Opposed To 300 Or 400 Who Haven’t The Foggiest.

I Consider That Personal Growth.

Perhaps By Showcasing My Opinions/Wants/Needs/Lusts/Loves I’ll Be Able To Ferret-Out The Remaining Peeps Who Simply Don’t Belong.

I’m A Nut.

I’m A Nut That’s VERY Hard To Crack.

And On The Inside Of The Exterior-Shell…

…You’ll (likely) Find Yet ANOTHER Nut.

😉

But I Wouldn’t Have It Any Other Way, My Peeps.

Gotta Keep The World Guessing, Right?!?

RIGHT!!!

Creedence Clearwater Revival AND The Return Of Swamp Thing: A Guilty Pleasure Match Made In Campy-Horror’ish Heaven

Well, I Do Believe The Title Of This Piece Sincerely Speaks For Itself.

And YES, I’m VERY Serious About This One.

It’s Been VERY Near&Dear To My HEART…

…Since The Film’s Release In 1989.

Are We Ready To Jive???…

…???

M’KAY.

IT’S JIVIN’ TIME!!!

\\//\\//\\//\\/\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//

FIRST-OFF…

…Please…

…Allow Me To Establish What I’m Jivin’ ’bout.

This Is The Film…

“THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING”

(1989)

"The Return Of Swamp Thing" (1989) - Starring DICK DUROCK, LOUIS JOURDAN, HEATHER LOCKLEAR, and SARAH DOUGLAS, and was Directed by JIM Wynorski

..

This Is The Main-Character…

“SWAMP THING”

(Hero)

"Swamp Thing" ("The Return Of Swamp Thing" (1989)) Played By DICK DUROCK

…

And THIS Is…

“CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL”

(Amazing Band)

CCR (aka Creedence Clearwater Revival) Circa 1969.

..

And The Song That Sparked The Whole Thing Is…

“BORN ON THE BAYOU”

(1969)

The A.MA.ZING. Song "BORN ON THE BAYOU" Was Off Of CCR's 1969 Album "BAYOU COUNTRY"

..

And This Is My Nephew’s Representation Of…

“LEGO CCR”

(Original “Ari Works Of Lego-Art”)

See, My Peeps... I WAS Being Serious. The Crafty Nephew (aka Mr. Ari, aka Boss) Really DID Build His Very Own CCR With LEGOS! Yep. Nifty, Eh?!?!?! 😀

..

Basically…

…The Film Is A Regular…

…hmm…

…Pant-Load Of Excitement AND Fun?

That’s (likely) A Descriptive Enough Phrase (maybe).

The Original “SWAMP THING” Was Directed By Horror Freak WES CRAVEN…

…And Was A Damned-FUN Experience…

…With Some QUALITY Actors Taking On The MAIN ROLES.

In “THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING”…

…hmm…

…We Get HEATHER LOCKLEAR.

Yeah…

…That Hurt.

BUT…

…We Also Get SARAH DOUGLAS (“V”, “SUPERMAN” & “SUPERMAN II”, etc)…

…And…

…We Get DICK DUROCK Back As “SWAMP THING” In This Sequel…

…AND…

…We Get Back LOUIS JOURDAN Reprising His Role As The EVIL “DR. ARCANE”!!!

Sounds Good Enough To Give A Quickie-Lookin’-At, Don’t It?!?!

DAYUM SKIPPY, DRIPPY, IT DOES!!!

"THE RETURN OF SWAMP THING" (1989) Is TOTALLY Available On The Ole DVD, Should Any Of You Care To Check-IT-Out... ...which You ALL SHOULD!!!

..

Just Remember This, My Peeps…

…The BEST PART OF THE WHOLE WHOLE WHOLE FILM…

…Is THE MUSIC That Plays…

…DURING…

…THE…

…OPENING and ENDING CREDITS!!!

SOOOOOOO…

…WHY NOT WATCH THE MOVIE TO (at least) GET THERE!?!?!?!

You ALL Should SERIOUSLY…

…TRUST ME.

I Promise, It’ll Be WORTH Your Time.

ALL 88-MINUTES Of Your Time.

😉

"SWAMP THING"
