8 wins to go...

i love this time of year. wake up early in the morning, put on the "lucky" t-shirt, eat the same breakfast as the last game, etc, etc. the playoffs are great. they are much better when "your" team is winning. they are torture when you are superstitious. but, as i learned a long time ago, find the pleasure in the pain.

the New York Rangers start the Eastern Conference finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning this afternoon. i'd love to win game 1 for a number of reasons. the Rangers have never beaten Tampa's goalie. the Rangers didn't beat Tampa at all this regular season. a win would go a long way to removing any doubt they had that they can return to the Stanley Cup Final this season. the Rangers are the odds on favorite in Vegas to do it. hopefully this is yet another time where Vegas is right on the money.

it's sort of gloomy and rainy here today. just what these old bones needed.

the New York Yankees got their asses handed to them last night 12-1. and that was with their best pitcher on the mound. thank god i didn't watch much of the game. they try to end the losing streak tonight, weather permitting.

i did catch the latest episode of VICE last night on HBO. it amazes me at the amount of ignorance that exists in the world.

here's some late night laughs for you:

and since the pain i'm in reminds me how much i could use some drugs at the moment, i'll simply do the next best thing:

that's better

after the hockey game today, i'm probably going to watch the horse race. if i don't, that's because i am at the grocery store. i do know i will be watching the season finale of Saturday Night Live tonight. Louis C.K. is hosting and Rihanna is performing. that should be good. also tonight will be a new episode of ROH and an old episode of Austin City Limits with Bon Iver. those two will be on my DVR.

i'm going to guess that i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Arsenal. and hopefully the boys will have me in a good mood.

that's all for me today. i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. 

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...
