sitting across from a dream

the woman sitting across from me in the waiting room today, while i was waiting for mom to come out from her mammogram, was a damn near identical match to a huge crush i had in high school. i kept playing it off that i wasn't blatantly staring at her. now, this woman had a different name (my hearing is way too good for public places sometimes) and is probably 20 years younger than the crush, but it was a nice blast from the past. i'm sure there will be poems in the next few days.

last night was one of those nights where sports fucking crushed me. first off, the New York Yankees had a long ass rain delay before the game started. then, they couldn't hold on to a 5 run lead and eventually lost to Baltimore 7-6 on a walk off home run from future Yankee Manny Machado. the Yankees picked the wrong night to lose as Boston won last night. hopefully the Yankees can win the series tonight.

the USA played like shit last night. the defense was absolutely in shambles for most of the game. and when Honduras took the lead early in the first half, the nightmare started playing in my head. thankfully, Bobby Wood scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw that leaves the USA in 4th place in the standings. now, they next face Panama at home. Panama is 1 point ahead of them. the best the USA could finish in this now is probably 3rd, but 3rd will keep them from having to win a playoff to get into the World Cup. as much as i want them to make it, part of me knows them missing it could be best in the long run. i'm not sure why a coach would start a guy in his 40's on defense in 100 degree heat in a game that you must win. of course, the coach also believed a draw was good enough. now, if they somehow lose to Panama, he'll understand the foolish nature of that statement.

American Horror Story was fucking great last night. i think i'm really going to enjoy this season.

Deadliest Catch was pretty good last night.

Hard Knocks was good last night. it also showed why Tampa is a clown organization.

Smackdown was really good last night. the match between Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton was as good as i thought it could be.

205 Live was pretty good last night as well. it will be interesting to see if Neville takes the advice Chris Jericho gave him about Enzo Amore.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, the season finale of Snowfall, Big Brother and the season premieres of You're the Worst and Total Bellas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

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...
