these Irish eyes have seen so much over the years...

happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone. i would be drinking right now, but my days of a being a lush are either behind me or still to return.

thankfully, the ice storm had already passed by this morning by the time i had to take mom to the outpatient center. we were there forever it felt like. it was only 4 hours or so in the end. i think mom is slowly coming to terms with having this operation on her hip. hopefully she's fully there by the time the surgery rolls around in early April.

i heard the news a couple days ago but today it finally hit me about the death of my friend Kerry Shank. so many memories of drinking and having too much fun came flooding back to me. that's probably another reason why i'm not drinking right now, i doubt i would stop.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Baskets was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i wouldn't mind if they happened to win tonight.

Manchester United will be playing against Anderlecht in the next round of the Europa League. that's good news as Belgium is much easier travel for them than having to go to some of the other countries still involved.

most of my attention tonight will be on the Dayton Flyers game against Wichita State. Dayton is the better seed but an underdog. hopefully they use that to fuel them tonight. plus, they have plenty of big game experience on their side as well. if they can somehow pull off the win tonight, i'll be happier than a pig in shit.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i believe my sister is coming down and i also need to go to the grocery store. so, let's just say i'll try to get a blog done before the day is completely over.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the green beer didn't make you sick or fuck something you'd regret.

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...
