running into family at the grocery store

i ran into a cousin at the grocery store today. i'm not a guy that really likes to shoot the shit in public. i'm more of the i have a list and i want to get this shot done type. my uncle is back in the hospital. mom got the phone call last night. who the fuck knows what he has now to go along with the cancer. i told mom though, the family will not be able to stand him dying around Christmas. the joys of the holidays.

thankfully, my Sunday night was much, MUCH better than my Sunday afternoon. i was so fucking angry by the end of the New Orleans Saints game that i thought i was going to have a stroke.

Manchester United was cruising along up 1-0 yesterday at Everton. late in the game, The Special One decided to bring on Marouane Fellaini. like most United fans, i was like WHY? sure enough, less than 3 minutes on the pitch, he fouled a guy in the box and gave Everton a penalty kick. so, for the fifth game in a row in the league, a fucking draw. 1-1. i wanted to blame it all on the shitty officiating, but even i know it was more self inflicted than anything. hopefully this shit will end one day. maybe they can find a team dumb enough to want to sign him in January. or maybe The Special One will just let him rot on the fucking bench for the rest of the season. not the way i wanted to start my Sunday.

the New Orleans Saints couldn't get a stop on defense to save their lives yesterday. and the offense was fucking horrific for most of the game. not a good combination for winning in a game that you really needed. the Lions beat the Saints 28-13. Drew Brees was held without a touchdown at home for the first time in 7 seasons. so you can imagine how my day went in fantasy football as well.

WWE TLC was amazing last night. i loved all the title changes. i loved the main event. it had a little of everything. all in all, it was better than i expected and i was expecting a great one.

Westworld was one of the best mind fucks i think i have ever received. nearly all the questions were answered and honestly, just give anyone connected to the show whatever damn award they are up for. it was fucking great. if you didn't watch the show, do yourself a favor and find it and enjoy the fuck out of it.

Divorce was pretty funny last night.

Shameless was great last night. i'm so emotionally invested since i have watched every episode, i nearly shit myself when Ian got in the car with Mickey at the end of the episode.

i really enjoyed The Affair last night. i never knew Brendan Fraser could play a creep so well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and the semifinals of The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

it looks like winter may really be here by the weekend. snow and lows in the teens. good times.

i went through my mailing list last night and picked out the lucky ones to get something from me this Christmas. so, start looking in your mailboxes in the next few days.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. since there is a basketball game Tuesday night, it's a bit of a clusterfuck.

i hope everyone had a lovely 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...
