so miracles do still exist

when the USA was up 1-0 last night against Paraguay and getting ready to start the second half, i was pretty confident. 5 minutes later, after Deandre Yedlin picked up two yellow cards and was sent off, not so much. thankfully, the USA defended the rest of the half like their lives depended on it. John Brooks was amazing. Brad Guzan was amazing. honestly, all of the guys were amazing as Paraguay needed the game more than the USA did. when the final whistle blew, i was spent. i felt like i was out there defending with them. but, to make it out of the group after losing their first game is an accomplishment.

then i settled in to watch Costa Rica take on Colombia. Colombia's coach decided to basically change the entire team. i could understand his thinking. the USA destroyed Costa Rica, so Colombia should be able to do the same. whoops. Costa Rica stunned the number 3 team in the world, defeating Colombia 3-2. so that means that, holy shit, the USA won Group A and will most likely avoid having to play Brazil in the quarterfinals. the USA will play in Seattle on Thursday against the runner up of Group B. Colombia will most likely play Brazil on Friday.

i woke up this morning still in disbelief. my best guess is the USA will play Ecuador. if they can win that, amazingly, they will be in the semifinals.

the Copa America matches tonight are Ecuador vs. Haiti and Brazil vs. Peru.

i'm watching Croatia take on Turkey right now in Euro 2016. Croatia is up 1-0 with a beautiful goal from Luka Modric. the other matches today are Poland vs. Northern Ireland and Germany vs. Ukraine.

the New York Yankees lost last night, 6-1. i didn't watch until they loaded the bases in the bottom of the 9th. and as usual this season, they didn't do anything. today is Old Timer's Day at the stadium. time for another voyage back into nostalgia.

ROH was excellent last night. all the matches were great.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the series finale of House of Lies, Penny Dreadful, Silicon Valley, Veep and Last Week Tonight.

i got Shrug's new CD this morning. holy shit it's great. i'm so happy they decided to put out music again. here is a link to it: http://shrug.bandcamp.com/

it felt like it was already 80 degrees when i went out to get the paper this morning. i think mom might be going to the grocery store alone today.

i think i might try to do some writing as well today. i've got a few thoughts running in my head.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday is even better.

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...
