the end of a lazy weekend

i was fucking around on iTunes last night, just trying to find some music i might have missed. and then i stumbled on some Martha Wainwright that i hadn't heard before. needless to say, i've been playing that EP to death since last night.

and when i get on the singer/songwriter kick, there will be some poems coming.

the Yankees lost yesterday. in true 2014 Yankee fashion, they lost 2-1 on a throwing error in the bottom of the 11th. just when i think this team is turning the corner they revert back like the chickenshits they are. they finish the series in Minnesota today. i couldn't care less what happens at this point.

the World Cup games were pretty damn good yesterday. Argentina beat Belgium 1-0. first time Argentina has made the semifinals in 24 years. the Netherlands beat Costa Rica on penalty kicks, 4-3. i was thinking Louis van Gaal was nuts for changing goalies right before the end of the game. turns out, the man is a fucking genius. i can't wait until he takes over at Manchester United.

that sets up a final four in the World Cup of Brazil vs. Germany and Netherlands vs. Argentina. four of the biggest and best teams in the world. should be great.

i watched another great episode of ROH last night. would love to see that company take the next step and start to really challenge the WWE.

if the tennis match is still going when i get done with this, i imagine i'll watch some of that as i'm picking up the trash. it's started to rain here, so i'll take my damn time. also, the rained out NASCAR race from yesterday starts soon. i imagine i'll watch some of that as well.

tonight will be a new episode of Big Brother and a new episode of The Leftovers.

had some damn good BBQ from this local food truck yesterday. holy shit it was good. i'm a sucker for some good brisket.

i geeked out when i saw Pink Floyd is putting out a new album. that was a pleasant way to start my day.

that's all for me today kids. i better get started on my "chores" before the weather gets too damn bad. hope everyone has a great end of the weekend.

be well. be creative. be a beacon of hope in the land of darkness. and then be the dirty fucker that likes to play evil games.

peace and chicken grease...
