the sweet smell of victory

so i slept in this morning and awoke to computer problems. thankfully, i know just enough that i can troubleshoot the little shit. and if that doesn't work, reboot. thankfully, that did work.

i've been really pleased so far with the response to the poems i've had published the last 2 days. a really nice shot of confidence.

after getting the animals fed and the trash down to the road, i settled in for the Yankees game. Jeter comes off the disabled list and hits the first pitch he sees into the stands. the man is a walking movie. Hughes was pitching, so i knew no lead was safe. he coughed up a 3-0 lead and a 5-4 lead. it was really nice to see Soriano have a great game, as well as Ichiro, and the Yankees win in a walk off. or as one reporter put it, a Jeter home run, Soriano game winning single and a win for Mo, say hello to your 2003 Yankees.

watched a little bit of the Brickyard 400 today. all 5 of my drivers on my fantasy team finished in the top 9. that will work.

that went right into team USA winning the Gold Cup 1-0 over Panama. i am so happy for them. they absolutely deserved this trophy. hopefully this gives them the momentum on the way to Brazil for the World Cup.

last night was a night of watching fights on tv. i caught the last hour of the UFC on Fox. and then a tremendous night of Boxing on Showtime. if you can catch a replay of that, i highly recommend it. and then another great episode of ROH. anytime i can see a show with a steel cage, chairs, tables, a fireball to the face, lighter fluid, and a few package pile drivers with Kevin Steen winning, i'm a happy boy.

tonight i'll bounce between Big Brother, The Newsroom, Ray Donovan and i'll humor myself with watching Total Divas. i'm tuning in for the behind the scenes shit from the WWE, i swear.

i really hope all those shows are great tonight. this has been a pretty damn good Sunday. a little unseasonably cool, but i really don't mind that.

here's hoping all is good in your neck of the woods.
