To Whom It Concerns … A Poem
What exactly do you want?
What are you hoping to find?
Are you looking for sexy pics?
Do you want to see my behind?
I’m going to disappoint you. Go to go to a different site. That’s not what I upload onto Shannon’s Midwestern Life.
Wanna hear about me being in a bind?
Wanna know what makes me tick?
Are you looking for an upsetting and/or sensitive topic?
Do you want to hear about old paramores and friends?I don’t talk about private people in public view. The End.Are you interested in personal struggle or tragedy?
Are you looking for photos of my home?
Do you want to know about my financial cash flow?
Is my family situation what you want to know?
Do you want to know the number on my license plate so you can find info to use and humiliate?
Do you need help occupying your leisure time?
Try career focus. Or clean your home, yard, garage and soul from grime.
Try a good hair and skin care routine. Since you have time.Go up the street and vacuum your car.
Do you know where your children are?
Read The Word and talk with God.Go call your dad and/ or mom. Maybe go for a jog.
If none of that interests you just go get a dog.
I’m stylish and charming but my life is pretty routine.
Thanks for your concern but you have other things to worry about than me.
Am I the most interesting person you know?
It seems that way.
Well, welcome to the Shannon Show.ย Enjoy your stay.
I don’t need to be clairvoyent to see you read my posts.ย What’s weird is haunting my social media like a ghost.ยI don’t understand why you act like you don’t read this blog when it’s clear that you do. I mean now what? I’m not talking to or about you.
You wait for my posts to see what I have to say.ย I have thoughts and opinions like any other Tameka, Jane or Kay.
What is the fascination with me, Shannon Lee, exactly?ย This is just the tip of the ice berg you see.
I post on a blog.ย But don’t think you know me. This is content for the internet; just trending topics. I enjoy my privacy.
I hope you’re inspired.ย ย I hope you like my work.ย ย Just don’t be weird and silently lurk.If you’re passing judgement, writing narratives and coming up with theories. After all your research you’re probably still wrong Dearie.
Take my words as they are don’t subtract or add.ย If you found some mess would you be giddy and glad?
There is no scandal Mr. and Miss and if there was I would leave it in the abyss.
I’m an adult.ย This is America.ย We can do as we please.ย Just stay within legal boundaries.ย
I’m polite to those I meet.ย I don’t ask for any favors and if I did you would look at me as if I am diseased.ย
Whatever you’re thinking as you read posts made during the Obama Admin., pandemic or last Fall, understand your opinion has the same value as coins in the fountain at the mall.
I started this blog in 2015 in the spirit of fun, freedom, and truth.ย Later I created a channel to share faith, prayer and my thoughts about God’s Word on You Tube.ยThere is no disrespect to anyone that wants to support amateur writers.ย Bless you and thank you for your view and click. It made my day brighter.
My issue is people mining for gossip nuggets to share.ย ย It’s weird and sick.ย Go smell some flowers. Why the heck do you care?
I try to have a sense of humor andย be in good cheer.ย I don’t take myself too seriously.ย ย My conscious is clear.ยContent creation requires skin to be thick.ย But there is no fear.ย Lord willing I will be posting new content this time next year.
If someone reads this and laughs at me that’s a price I willingly pay.ย That happens when you put a piece of your heart on display.ยGo kick rocks if you have something to slick to say. I mean whispering behind my back if we’re acquainted. A comment on this page is OK.
Open your mind.ย Change your fate.ย Establish something and inspire.ย Let’s see what you/we can create.ย Be different and original instead of boilerplate.ยI will encourage and support you. If you know me irl you know that’s true.
I will click like, share and encourage you know that’s something I would do.ย
Too bad that generosity is a one way street.ย ย I’m used to lopsided interactions. That’s not new to me.ย
With all that said it’s fine that you view me on line.ย It gives me a flattering vibe.ย When you visit say Hi. Support, comment, like, subscribe.ย ย ย ย
No.ย This is not AI. -
Fantasy Pop Star Manager-Lizzo

I’m starting a new series called “Fantasy Pop Star Manager”. It’s like Fantasy Football but instead of managing a pretend NFL team I’m going to give career advice that no one asked for to established entertainers.
Lizzo is my first fantasy celebrity client. I like Lizzo. She is charismatic, beautiful and very talented. Lizzo is a classically trained flautist. She produced some catchy hits and what I will call enjoyable B sides (songs that are not as popular or mainstream but nonetheless likeable).
People are saying that Lizzo has fallen off. Her new music isn’t selling well. Perhaps she has. Flash in the pan artists are not new to the music industry. Besides that “falling off” is subjective. Her new music is falling flat but her older music is heavily played on Spotify. Lizzo is labeled as popular on Spotify and has over 10M monthly listeners. I wouldn’t call that falling off.
Lizzo has had controversy. Some of the complaints are more concerning than others. She was accused of sexual harassment by back up dancers. The claims were deemed unfounded but I learned things about Lizzo that I wish I hadn’t. She’s also been teased on line due to her weight. There was a ridiculous uproar about Lizzo playing John Madison’s flute at the Library of Congress.
Here is my advice to Lizzo. Lizzo is very confident and outspoken. She can be described as brash. That’s not a problem for me. I think Lizzo is highly likeable. The problem is that she can be vulgar.
I think that might be why her new music isn’t selling well. The titles alone are a turn off to many people. There are limits to where a song named “Bitch” and another song named “Hoes” can be played. Lizzo is limiting her own audience. There aren’t that many places songs title “Hoes” and “Bitch” can be played.
“Hoes” is a collaboration with Sexxy Red. That collaboration is a mistake too. I like Sexxy Red as a person. She seems down to earth and unpretentious. Sexxy is probably a lot smarter than she let’s on. Sexxy donated to the St. Louis tornado victims in 2025. Sexxy acted to help people affected by a natural disaster before the government did. But her brand is vulgar.
Her audience is limited. Sexxy Red became popular because one of her songs got played on Tik Tok. The lyric that was repeated numerous times said “my booty hole is brown”. What?! It’s demented that anyone wrote that down and recorded it.
Lizzo became an ambassador for the body positivity movement. I’m not sure if that is by design or not but she embraced being a body positive role model. The problem with that is that Lizzo has lost weight. Is she losing support for shedding pounds? A lot of the references towards Lizzo’s weight on social media have been very mean spirited.
She’s in the new “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue”. I’m sure many will praise Lizzo’s cover and for others, particularly so called conservative social media personalities, it will be rage bait. I like some of the photos better than others. Some are very flattering and she looks great.
It’s not even a matter of size. Some of the poses border on soft core porn. Regardless of size no one will look that great posing like that. I don’t think hardly anyone looks all that great in a bikini regardless of size. The exceptions are people like Tyra. Again, I don’t consider a feature in the “SI Swimsuit Issue” falling off. Good for Lizzo.
https://people.com/lizzo-says-she-manifested-her-sports-illustrated-swimsuit-cover-12024136
I think Lizzo is a pretty lady. She should dress in a fashionable way that flatters her figure instead of like a trashy Power Ranger or in a dress with the booty cut out and a thong underneath. That is not body positivity. Those are the actions of someone that hates their body.
Lizzo became popular in 2019. She is now thirty eight. She’s grown up since her debut. Lizzo has done some wild things and that’s fine. Move on. Lizzo is in a great position to expand and solidify her career as an entertainer. The foundation has been laid. Lizzo needs to use her gifts wisely and not be an ambassador for vulgarity. She needs to turn it down a bit. No more songs with expletives. No more bootyless dresses sitting courtside at NBA games. If Lizzo matures she will be fine.

Photo Dump – Sunset Over Strip Malls ๐

I renamed my blog Shannon’s Life in the Midwest. I searched for a photo on the internet for a profile picture and avatar to represent an average life in the midwest. I ran across photos of sunsets over strip malls. I’ve seen some impressive sunsets over strip malls but never thought to document them. I chose one but I decided to take my own photos over the weekend. I will take more in the future.

Question of the Day 7.17.26 ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฉ๐ฟ๐ต๐ฟ
Daily writing promptDo you think weโre shaped more by our experiences or by who we are?This is an interesting question.
We are individuals that are shaped by experiences. We are born and our surroundings, influences and interactions make a mark on us as people. It’s hard to say if experiences or individual personality play a bigger part in who we are as a person. There are countless variables to consider. I think it probably balances out depending on how extreme the experiences are.
