nothing a long shower won't fix

we got 2 inches of rain last night. and honestly, we missed the heavy shit. go a few miles to the east and there were some places that got over 5 inches of rain. even so, we still have little pockets of water standing in the yard. and that's with the temps being up in the 80's for most of the day. somehow, i'm guessing it was pure exhaustion, i slept for almost 6 hours last night. and it was one of those mornings where every bone in my body cracked as i got out of bed. at least i knew early that misery wasn't going to be very far away today.

i did watch most of the home run derby last night. i did like the changes, i thought it helped move the thing along much better. plus, anytime you have a clock counting down, it adds some drama. congrats to Todd Frazier for making the most of that drama.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. the two parts i enjoyed the most was the impromptu triple threat match:

the best part of the show was the women of NXT showing up. this made me so fucking happy:

that should take the divas division to a completely different level, that is if they actually give them the time on the shows. hopefully they use Charlotte, Becky and Sasha each week until the end of time.

enjoy some music as i got get something to drink:

the late night shows were back last night, finally. the storms kept me from watching most of it, so thanks to YouTube for allowing me to see what i missed:

team USA got off to another shitty start last night. thankfully, the game meant nothing for getting out of the group stage of the Gold Cup. but a 1-1 draw with Panama isn't what i wanted to see last night. especially when you had to come from behind to get that draw. Jurgen has made three changes for the knockout rounds. hopefully they are the right ones. here are some highlights:

tonight will be a busy one on television. i doubt i will watch much of the All-Star game itself, but i will watch the pre-game festivities. on the DVR tonight will be WWE Tough Enough, Total Divas, Deadliest Catch and Tyrant. i imagine i'll catch up on most of that in the early morning hours.

i did some poetry work today. figured out what i was going to send where later on in the week. i'm thinking that will happen on Thursday or so. the weather is supposed to be really nice then, as opposed to the weekend when were supposed to be in the 90's. good times.

before i go, why don't you have some food:

that's all for me today. mom went into work so i have spent the afternoon home alone. so, it was my usual, some porn and a long shower. that seems to be the best way i know how to just empty my head.

hope everyone is good or at the very least, good enough.

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...
