i can only see nightmares when i close my eyes

so i sat down to watch Manchester United play yesterday and it wasn't very long until i was absolutely gutted. watching Luke Shaw get a double fracture of his right leg on a nasty fucking tackle (that didn't result in any card or anything) was horrendous. the kid was playing so great and had really nailed down the left fullback position. United scored a few minutes later on a beautiful goal from Memphis. but, when they gave up the equalizer before halftime, i didn't feel very good. 8 minutes into the second half, PSV took the lead. what has killed me about Manchester United since Sir Alex left is the glaring lack of urgency that the team plays with. it's beyond frustrating. and since United could never find that second goal to draw the game, they are now behind the 8 ball for the rest of the Champions League play. and i have no clue what they fucking do to replace Luke Shaw for the next 6 months.

to add to that, the New York Yankees pissed away a chance to gain ground on Toronto by losing to Tampa 6-3 last night. nothing says a mediocre team like coming off a tremendous high and just play like shit the following day. they play a MUST win game tonight before they have an off day and then start a series with the fucking Mets.

Big Brother was interesting last night. i was somewhat shocked that Vanessa voted out Austin last night. i was more shocked that Liz didn't punch her right in the face after it happened. i found out later that Steve (the new HOH) nominated John and Vanessa for eviction tonight. problem is, Vanessa won the POV and now she will be the only one voting. i'm pretty sure she will take out John tonight. and that means Steve and Liz better get smart quick and eliminate Vanessa as soon as possible. if either of them take her to the finals, they will lose, no matter what Austin thinks.

i nearly forgot that Total Divas was on last night. i caught the episode at midnight. it was better than i expected. next week's episode will be a tearjerker. it looks like the ladies were on vacation in Mexico when the news broke that Dusty Rhodes died. that will be a hard one to watch.

i didn't sleep well at all last night. i believe all the frustration just kept me tossing all night long. i think i might have got around 3 hours or so. but, when 6 came along this morning, it was time to get up and start checking the waiver wires in my fantasy football leagues. and since i noticed people were making changes at 6:20 or so, i know i'm playing in leagues with assholes just like me. that will at least make it interesting. and yes, i got everyone i wanted.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and You're The Worst. i am looking forward to watching NXT tonight on the WWE Network. i also believe there's an interview with Randy Orton coming on tonight as well on the network.

that's all for me today kids. i'm going to go put on some soccer and hopefully take a long nap.

in case you're interested, my NFL team guaranteed to win this week is my New Orleans Saints. you can imagine how pissed i will be if they lose on Sunday.

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...
