and then reality gets in the way

i'm not in the greatest of moods today. mom had a doctor's appointment this morning so i had to be up early as fuck in case i needed to drive her. she felt good enough to drive, which made me believe that she was doing good. what a fucking fool i am. i'm not happy with what the doctor told her as it means that diabetes is winning the war with her. so, once she gets done with her phone calls this afternoon, i believe we're going shopping at Menard's. i figure she wants to blow off some steam and god knows we need some damn power tools. plus, the light at my computer just fucking died, so i guess i need a new lamp. add on top of that we now have bill collectors calling the house wondering who is in charge of my father's estate. i think some of you thought i was joking when i said i figured given how much my father loved me he was going to leave me with a bill at the end of everything. and you wonder why i have nothing in my name at the moment. i suppose this is another reason i decided not to have children. who would want to put someone else through this horse shit?

the New York Yankees won yesterday 4-3 to sweep the Twins. it was the coming out party for rookie Greg Bird. 2 two run homers, both with 2 outs, to give the Yankees all four runs. he made the Yankees GM look like a fucking genius when he included Bird as one of the untouchable prospects. hopefully they can keep it rolling as the Indians come into the Bronx this evening.

i watched a little of the USA women destroy Costa Rica once again in a soccer friendly. i believe the score was 7-2 this time. here are a few of the goals:

enjoy some music kids:

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i got a good laugh at CBS trying to make people think Vanessa was ever close to going up. that's why i follow the feeds online than just rely on production to show me what is going on. i believe Becky will get evicted tonight. and hopefully, John wins HOH and succeeds in his mission to get Vanessa out of the house.

NXT was really good last night:

i can't wait for the show on Saturday.

tonight on the DVR will be Big Brother, Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll, Married and Lip Sync Battle.

before we get to the laughs, i saw this poem late last night and absolutely loved it:

now laugh:

and now 2 things bizarre and completely unrelated:

that's all for me today kids. hopefully i find myself relaxing with a victory beer later tonight, working some poems out on the page. i definitely have some words bubbling at the moment.

don't worry kids, the weekend is near. just a few more hours until the debauchery can begin 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...
