no rest for the wicked...

i was hoping the NyQuil was going to help me sleep. sadly, all it really did was increase the amount of drainage and give me a nice buzzed feeling as i was taking a shit at 4 in the morning. nothing like coughing loud enough to wake your mother up 3 rooms away. i think i have got 8 hours sleep in the last 3 days. not exactly the right recipe to beat a cold. good times. and just when i was getting some sleep this morning, i had a fucking cramp in my left leg wake me up.

i actually let mom drive today to the local drugstore. i was worried but she's a fucking adult. if i didn't feel like she was up to it, i would have played the role of the asshole son. of course, she was gone longer than i thought she was going to. and when the phone rang, i figured it was going to be the police to tell me about an accident. thankfully, it wasn't. she went to the grocery store next to the drugstore to get a few things. i was happy she was able to do that today as i was going to do it, but i feel fucking miserable today.

USA men's soccer team played last night against Bosnia & Herzegovina. the game was a 0-0 draw. glad to see i didn't miss anything.

the Royal Rumble last night was excellent. both Rumble matches were good. there was just enough surprises i thought in both matches, although i would have loved to see a few more women from NXT get in that match. but, to see Trish and Lita wrestle again was pretty fucking cool. and i totally didn't expect Rey Mysterio in the men's match. i loved that they had Asuka and Shinsuke Nakamura win the Rumble matches. i certainly wasn't expecting Nakamura to win, that's for sure. especially when he had to eliminate Cena and Roman Reigns to get the job done. Ronda Rousey showing up at the end of the show was a bit of a clusterfuck, but i guess she's signed a full time multi-year contract with WWE. it will be interesting to see how they use her on the road to WrestleMania. all in all, i thought the show was worth my time, and given how sick i am, that's saying something.

the season finale of Shameless was really good last night.

The Chi was excellent last night. the ending was damn near perfect.

Divorce was good last night.

Crashing was really good last night. it was great to see Bill Burr again.

i didn't watch much of the Grammy Awards last night. from everything i have heard and the clips i've seen on YouTube, it's probably a good thing i didn't see it. i love Bruno Mars but there's no fucking way in the world that album was better than Kendrick Lamar's album. no fucking way at all.

i did watch a little of the NHL All-Star game yesterday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and May It Last: A Portrait Of The Avett Brothers. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

mom's already cancelled all her appointments this week, so basically i'm hoping i can beat this cold this week without having to make a trip to the doctor.

i guess i should actually go get the damn mail before it's completely dark here.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

no hay descanso para el malvado mi amigo

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...
