rising from the winter doldrums

i was surprised while watching Manchester United today. i figured Derby County was going to take full advantage of United bring in "crisis" mode. instead, they decided to just sit back and let United get comfortable in the game. a stunning goal from Wayne Rooney 15 minutes in (ok, maybe he was offside) put United up 1-0. it wouldn't be a Manchester United game though without a defensive lapse of some kind. that came about 20 minutes later to even the match at 1-1. thankfully, United played their best half of the season in the second half with some great attacking and even better goals from Blind and Mata. i will take a 3-1 victory on the road in the FA Cup any day of the week, regardless of the opponent. United advances to the 5th round now.

i really enjoyed Baskets and Lip Sync Battle last night. i really just needed a good hour of mindless shit to laugh at.

WWE Smackdown was pretty damn good last night. i totally marked out when AJ Styles broke out the Styles Clash. Mauro Ranallo has made the show a fun watch. that's miles away from where it used to be.

i also listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling podcast. i highly recommend Sam's excellent interview with Charlotte.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Undateable, NJPW and Treehouse Masters.

i made some chili for dinner tonight. so, it should be a night of laughs and gas.

i'm getting my blood work done in the morning and the Dayton Flyers play LaSalle tomorrow afternoon, so i won't be back on here until tomorrow afternoon/early evening.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.

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...
