from a breezy day in the middle of nowhere...

the random nature of life at times has always mystified me. or perhaps life as individual for so damn long has simply deactivated my senses when it comes to some shit. i don't know. the grocery store yesterday was the perfect example. everyone with their faces stuck in their phones, either checking a list or talking to someone. and here i am, pen, paper and coupons. old school. the only people that look at me are children. i'm the one in their nightmares or the image their parents use as someone to avoid. i suddenly remember why i stopped doing this shit back in the day. of course, now i have no choice. and usually anytime i start to think about being alone i remember the story about the guy on the online dating site that got killed using it. that's when i know that i can't win at this. so why bother playing the game?

i took mom to the doctor this morning. she's going to be off for another 2 weeks, at least. if she doesn't start to show signs of improvement soon, she's going to get a MRI to see what else is going on. good times.

i watched Big Brother last night on an illegal feed out of Canada i found on the computer. the show pretty much went as i expected. Michelle got evicted and Victor is the new HOH. i'll be stunned if he doesn't put up James and Natalie.

the season finale of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was excellent last night. season 3 should be pretty interesting given all the possible directions it could go in.

i also watched the documentary Springsteen & I last night. i haven't been able to ever see The Boss in concert, so it was cool to see all the old footage.

Fuck, That's Delicious was hilarious last night. i love when they take the show into the hidden parts of big cities, especially in a place like Australia where i highly doubt i'll ever get to go to.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Treehouse Masters.

2 out of the 3 fantasy football moves i wanted to make came through for me this morning. i like my team a little better now.

team USA plays St. Vincent and the Grenadines in World Cup Qualifying today. this is a MUST win game for team USA. given all the injuries and absences, i'm very interested to see how they play. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer later.

the New York Yankees start a series in Baltimore tonight. just like last weekend, these might as well be playoff games.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after Ohio State plays Bowling Green. i'm really excited to see how all the kids play on Ohio State this season. they have the lowest number of returning starters in the country.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you happen to be in the USA, enjoy your holiday weekend. as for all the Russians that visit this blog, enjoy your vodka.

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...
