a rainy Saturday morning

i damn near turned the furnace on last night. i woke up this morning and it was 45 degrees outside. nothing like a cold bathroom floor to wake you the fuck up on a Saturday morning. i'm glad i didn't turn it on as it is supposed to be in the 70's tomorrow. perfect timing to get everyone sick.

NJPW was excellent last night. 2 very good tag team matches.

i think i went to bed pretty early (at least for me) last night. and i think it was one of those rare nights that i found a spot, got comfortable, and was out for more than 5 hours. that sleep should come in handy today as there is a ton of shit i want to watch.

first, time for some music:

watch that Joe Bonamassa video above on YouTube and in the description of the video there is a link to a FREE album with 11 songs spanning Joe's career. of course i downloaded it and it is AMAZING.

now, some of this and that:

the New York Yankees play a doubleheader today in Baltimore. i have no clue if the games will be played, given the weather. if they do get the games in, the Yankees only need 1 win and they will host the wild card game on Tuesday.

Ohio State plays at Indiana this afternoon. this will be a test for them, as on the road in the Big Ten always is. i doubt this will be a game they can put away by halftime. but, i would love for them to have a comfortable lead going into the 4th so it's not a possible, oh shit, here comes an upset game.

tonight on the DVR will be American Sniper, ROH and Saturday Night Live. i think NBC is also showing a Saturday Night Live documentary, i'll record that as well. i'll be watching the WWE event from Madison Square Garden tonight on the WWE Network. it looks like it should be really good.

i did a few things outside before the rain started this morning. just as i was coming in from the garage i could hear mom say oh shit, the squad is coming. i looked out the window as both of us thought the paramedics were going to my uncle's house. she got on the phone but thankfully the paramedics were going to the house next door to my uncle. it didn't look like anything serious. mom then wondered if this is what it's like at my sister's condo as she also lives around a bunch of old people. i said no, the only people my sister sees is the coroner. nothing like some dark humor to start off the day.

i figure since it's going to rain all day long, i'll be in my chair all day long, hoping my back and body don't hurt too much. there's plenty of college football and soccer from Europe to keep me busy until tonight.

i hope that everyone has a great Saturday. hopefully the weather is better where you are. i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning before Manchester United takes on Arsenal.

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...
