when sleep consists of nightmares and long legged Russian women...

for some reason, i wasn't able to sleep well last night. not sure if it was the weather or an impending sense of loneliness or maybe deep down i felt like my father just won't die. whatever the fuck it was, i was up at 3 in the morning eating cheese and crackers and playing chess against the computer. good times.

the New York Yankees won last night 4-1. that was a nice victory beer as they are amazingly in first place in the division. i didn't expect that this early in the season. hopefully they can win another series tonight.

the New York Rangers will play the Capitals in the next round of the playoffs. that starts on Thursday. this will be the fifth time in the last seven playoffs that they have faced each other. this will be a series full of hatred. i can't wait.

i did watch The Voice this morning. i thought the performances were good but not great. the only one i truly enjoyed was this:

i'm interested to see who makes the top 6 tonight.

Monday Night Raw was ok at best last night. most of the show was about the King of the Ring tournament. i'll be watching the semi-finals and finals of that tournament tonight on the WWE Network.

Gotham was fucking brilliant once again. i absolutely can't wait to see what happens in the season finale next week.

here's some things i saw in my insomnia that i enjoyed last night:

tonight on the DVR will be The Voice, Undateable and Deadliest Catch.

i need to get going. i have to get the mail and feed the cats before i take mom out chair shopping.

hope everyone is doing good. take it easy and then take it again.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
