the long weekend...

i woke up early this morning, too early if you ask me. but, i knew i had plenty of shit to do before i embark on the trip up to Columbus for some hockey. most of that is done, thankfully.

i did watch Landon Donovan's final game last night with team USA. he nearly scored, which would have brought the house down. he did help set up the only goal scored for the USA. they ended up drawing with Ecuador 1-1. a great lesson of what happens when you don't take advantage of your opportunities. but, all the praise that Landon got and it still getting is deserved. he has taken soccer to heights in this country that have never been seen before. hopefully all of us are better off for that.

The Knick was excellent last night. if anyone wants to know what being an addict is like, last night's episode should be exhibit A. i can't wait to see what happens on the season finale next week.

instead of watching college football today, i'll be on the way to Columbus to see the New York Rangers take on the Blue Jackets. we got an email from my sister yesterday warning us about all the other shit going on (pregame, outside, etc) so we should get there early. it's windy and chilly, so hopefully it warms up nicely. though, the advantage to being fat and hairy is the cold doesn't bother me at all. i'm more thinking about my mother.

i doubt i will be home in time to watch Saturday Night Live. i'll have to hope for a little YouTube help on that one. hopefully i will get to catch the new episode of ROH late tonight.

my buddy Paul is coming over for some football on Sunday. more or less, about 5 hours of us sitting around shooting the shit and bitching about our fantasy football teams.

i messed around with my fantasy hockey roster last night. nothing quite like sitting at the computer at 1 in the morning wondering which guy do i take... i usually will quickly remind myself of an old adage.. think long, think wrong.

i need to get a little lunch in me and get a shower. i will probably be back on here early Sunday morning to provide the aftermath of the game tonight. i'm really hoping i get to enjoy a victory.

hope everyone has a great weekend. enjoy it. have a few drinks. fuck a beautiful person. laugh like a lunatic and don't forget to hide the evidence well.

thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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...
