16 years and this day still sucks...

16 years ago today my stepfather lost his battle with lung cancer. i don't think my mother has ever really gotten over it. and since she truly believes that was her soulmate, i doubt she ever will get over it. on top of all that, today was the NHL trade deadline day. and of course, the New York Rangers had to make the biggest move of the day.

the Rangers traded their captain, Ryan McDonagh and J.T. Miller to Tampa Bay or what i am calling them now, Rangers south for 3 players and 2 picks. both could end up being 1st round picks if Tampa wins the Stanley Cup this season or next. i do like what the Rangers got in the deal and they stuck to their word. they said they were going to blow it up and they basically have. all that is left now is to tank the season and hopefully get that #1 pick in the draft.

the Rangers lost in OT to Detroit last night, 3-2. Ryan Spooner, a player they got from Boston in the Rick Nash trade, had 2 assists in his first game with the team. the ceremony for Jean Ratelle before the game was excellent. and the surprise for Vic Hadfield did bring tears to my eyes.

WWE Elimination Chamber was pretty good last night. i didn't really have any problems with the winners, other than i wish Braun Strowman would have won over Roman Reigns. the Ronda Rousey contract signing was a bit awkward and then really awesome. i do believe if you had Paul Heyman do the talking for her, it would help her out greatly. Monday Night Raw tonight should be interesting.

Celebrity Big Brother went how i expected last night. Ross and Marissa were the final 2. i think everyone knew Ross played the better game, but the jury wanted a woman to win so Marissa won 6-3. Ross won America's favorite player as well. i was happy that Omarosa didn't win shit.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

Homeland was really good last night.

The Chi was excellent last night.

Here and Now was great last night.

Divorce was really good last night.

Crashing was pretty funny last night.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as always last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

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

i think i might have got 3 hours of sleep last night. i took a little nap while i was doing my laundry today. i now have to figure out what is for dinner.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

adiós al capitán, gracias por todos los años

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...
