time to build the ark

we're under a flash flood watch at the moment. this is a time where i'm actually happy that i'm not on the farm. i know damn well that parts of the fields would be under water by now. it's been going back and forth from pouring rain like it's the end of the world to a constant drizzle that's more annoying than anything. the worst thing with all this is the fucking humidity. this isn't a cooling rain. this is a mosquito dream rain. and the animals out here have been going nuts. between the birds fighting with each other to get to the dry food to the fucking squirrels taking down a feeder and taking it up the tree with them. and to think, we might actually see the sun again on Monday. fuck me runnin'.

i didn't watch much of the NBA Finals last night. what i did see i knew the Cavs had nothing left. as LeBron said after the game, they simply ran out of talent. i still think he somehow brings a title to Cleveland, but he may have to sell his soul again to do it.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. it's one of the few reality shows that i actually believe what i'm seeing.

Tyrant was great last night. i though they might have done the bravest thing a show could do and kill off the main character in the first episode of the second season. by the end of the episode, i knew better. but it definitely sets up a crazy season ahead.

here's some funny shit from last night:

i did make it over to the bank today. i was tempted to keep a few $100 bills out of what i was going to deposit, but i didn't. it was a fun drive over to the bank with all the rain. nearly watched three assholes hydroplane when they hit a huge puddle of water. i played it safe, knowing damn well if i wreck the only car we have, mom WILL kill me.

other than the trip to the bank, today has been about sleep and arthritis. good times.

enjoy a quick music break:

tonight is turning into one of my favorite nights of television. i'll have ROH and Lucha Underground on the DVR. hell, i might even put TNA on it as well. i will be watching the WWE Network tonight to see NXT. mostly, because of this:

i would stop literally anything i was doing to watch those two wrestle each other. the cherry on top of my night is that Lucha Underground will be a 60 minute match between Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma. that will be off the charts great.

team USA did beat Nigeria last night, 1-0. they won their group but i still think they need to play much better if they want to win the Women's World Cup.

the Yankees game was basically over in the first inning last night. you're not going to come back when you give up 8 runs in the first. they lost 12-2 to the Marlins. they are back in New York tonight to play the same team. chances are, i won't be watching.

with the NBA and NHL seasons over with now, the silly season can begin. i expect trade rumors galore with the New York Rangers. and i actually think they will do one before the draft. and if they can get a pick in the first round in this draft especially, i would do a Cam Talbot trade in a heartbeat. this draft is fucking loaded this season.

i did see that Manchester United's schedule was released for next season today. hopefully it's one that has some titles at the end of it.

that's all for me today. i'm tapping out from the rain. my arthritis is beating the shit out of me right now.

hope everyone is good, dry, healthy, drunk, naked, enjoying a public park or perhaps the comfort of your back porch. anything to piss off your neighbors.

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...
