the silly season has begun

some people think of July 1st as Happy Canada Day. i think of it as the day the sports world goes fucking nuts and no names become millionaires because someone has to take the money.

free agency began in the NBA and NHL today. i did see the couple of moves the New York Rangers made. i don't mind either player, as long as they are depth guys and guys to help kill penalties. if either are being asked to be top 6 forwards, the GM is fucking nuts.

their best move of the day was probably naming Jeff Beukeboom as assistant coach. one of my favorite Rangers on that 1994 team.

but the thing that put the biggest smile on my face today was this:

i don't give a shit that he's 34. i don't care that he has one of the biggest egos i have ever seen on an athlete. the one thing the man has always done is produce. and Manchester United needs a guy who just fucking scores goals.

i was sad to see the news that Ryan Giggs is leaving Manchester United after 29 years. whatever job he does next, he will ALWAYS be one of the greatest ever to wear that jersey. be well Giggsy.

the New York Yankees won on a walk off passed ball yesterday, 2-1. i guess the sun can find a dog's ass two days in a row. they start a 10 game road trip tonight in San Diego.

Euro 2016 Update:
when Poland scored in the first 2 minutes yesterday, i was thinking it was going to be a great game. when Portugal made it 1-1 30 minutes later, i was really happy. what happened next was Poland played not to lose and Portugal played to win. as you might imagine, it turned out just like that. Portugal won on penalty kicks 5-3. today, Wales takes on Belgium. that should be a doozy.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. i guess i've watched the show long enough to even expect the twists now.

WWE Smackdown was pretty good last night.

the haircut went pretty good yesterday. the stylist said i looked completely different than when i came in. i told her that was the plan. we went to the grocery store as well yesterday as mom didn't want to go in the rain today. it was raining this morning and will probably do so again. at least that's what my bones are telling me.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and VICE.

the 15 poems i sent out the other day were received with some of the best praise i think i have ever had for any of my poems. it looks like i may have a new chapbook out soon. more info on that when the time comes.

mom got me some new clothes. they came in the mail today. i guess she doesn't want me to look like a bum when we're on vacation. little does she know...

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i know it's the 4th of July weekend here in the USA. enjoy the fireworks and the booze, a great combination.

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...
