2016 strikes again

i'm not going to sit here and write that i was the biggest George Michael fan. but i certainly would be a fucking liar if i said his music didn't influence me. growing up in the 80's and 90's, his music certainly shaped my mind on many things. god knows, puberty was one of those times when beautiful models in a George Michael video would certainly come in handy, pun intended. my sister and i were watching the news last night when it came across that he had died at 53. i immediately thought about all the talented fuckers who have died this year. this is as bad as i ever remember it. i made my sister watch the movie Keanu last night just because George Michael's music played such a big role in it. another figure of my childhood gone forever. before too long, they all will be. rest in peace George, you certainly deserve it.

the basketball game yesterday between Cleveland and Golden State was an instant classic. and i picked both football games right yesterday, so i'm pretty happy about that.

my sister left earlier today, hoping to beat the rain that's coming. she managed to not forget anything this time.

all in all, i think it was a pretty good Christmas. we certainly got a good portion of the garage cleaned out, so that's a plus.

i did catch some of the second leg between Tigres and Club America last night. talk about a game that had everything; red cards, a brawl, late goals, penalty kicks... you name it, it happened. congrats to Tigres on the win.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Every Brilliant Thing. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

Boxing Day is always a big day in the Premier League. Manchester United took on Sunderland today. it was the first time David Moyes had been back at Old Trafford since he got fired. United got goals from Daley Blind, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a holy shit goal (albeit offisde but not called) from Henrikh Mkhitaryan to win 3-1. they are finally on the kind of roll that makes you think a top 4 finish  is still possible.

team USA plays today in the World Juniors. this is one of my favorite hockey tournaments every year. hopefully they can get a win today over Latvia. they need these points as they are in the same group with Russia and Canada.

that's all for me today kids. if you're out shopping or returning gifts, have fun and some patience.

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...
