persona non grata

there was a time in my life where i absolutely hated being in public. thankfully, those days are behind me now. but, i get a little reminder now and then exactly why i was in that state of mind to begin with. i went to the grocery store today and right as i walked in, the father of my best friend from my childhood was there. he didn't see me as he picked up the ad and walked back to his wife. they both then looked right at me and kept right on going. these are people i have known for more than 30 years. and i'm right back inside my head, being the classic case of out of sight, out of mind. but, wearing your emotions on your sleeves is an excellent way to find a poem.

i was able to get the groceries today and the two prescriptions mom called in to be picked up for under $75. that made me happy.

the New York Yankees lost the second game of the doubleheader yesterday 9-4. given the sweep by Cleveland, the Yankees are now 5 games behind Boston. they start a 4 game series against Boston tonight at home. i really doubt the Yankees have a shot at winning the division now. sadly, their wild card spot is also in jeopardy now. if the Red Sox come in crush them, the Yankees will be fucked. and their owner already has said if they don't make the playoffs, this season would be a disappointment. it just feels like the young guys are running out of gas and the team just can't compete against the better teams. not to say this weekend is going to make or break their season, but there's a real good fucking chance it will.

NXT was really good last night. i can't wait to see Adam Cole in action once again.

Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

Mr. Mercedes was fucking brilliant last night.

Snowfall was great last night. the season finale next week looks like it should be amazing.

Big Brother was good last night. hopefully the house now understands that Jason needs to go soon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Fuck, That's Delicious Classics and The Chris Gethard Show.

that Big Brother episode will be on real late because of NFL preseason football. i'm not sure if i'll already know what's happened on the episode or not by then.

the New Orleans Saints play at home tonight against Baltimore. hopefully there are no injuries tonight and the guys can figure out the best players to take into the season. i have high hopes this year.

i will be watching Ohio State take on Indiana for most of the evening. it's a classic trap game. first game of the season. conference rival on the road. and oh by the way, Indiana's former head coach is now Ohio State's offensive coordinator. and given that Ohio State is #2 in the country, Indiana will be licking their chops for an upset. hopefully, i will be happy and drinking tonight.

i believe the remnants from Harvey will be here tomorrow. we certainly could use some rain, not a flood, but some rain would be good.

mom's eye is continuing to get better. hopefully by this time next month, she'll have new glasses, better vision and will actually be able to function without squinting all the time.

i'll be on here sometime tomorrow. if we do get rain, i'm sure my arthritis will be fucking with me. good times.

have a good one kids.

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...
