good at taking punches...

it was a restless evening. i got in bed around 2. i don't think i fell asleep until around 4. i was up around 9. soon after waking up, my mom told me that my sister had texted her. a guy my sister and i went to school with died yesterday. i was walking outside when mom said that and it was like getting punched in the gut. there was an immediate rush of memories from oh so many years ago. plenty of parties and good times. i have no clue what killed him. it did make me think of my own mortality today. as much as i want to believe i'm just getting started, i know damn well the end is much closer than i want to believe.

i guess mom is getting different seats for the University of Dayton basketball games this season. we're going to be on the opposite side of the arena now. she'll only have to go down 2 rows to get to the seats. the reason she didn't go much the last couple of seasons is she didn't think she could walk down to the seats without falling. so, it will certainly feel different watching the games from the new seats. i think my stepfather's family had the old seats from the time the place was built.

the New York Yankees won last night in 12 innings over the Marlins, 2-1. of course, there just had to be another injury. Aroldis Chapman left after just 6 pitches last night. joy. hopefully, the Yankees can win tonight and manage to do so without any more fucking injuries.

Smackdown was really good last night. amazingly, the WWE put on 4 damn good shows the last 4 days in Brooklyn.

205 Live was really good last night as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night. the season finale is next week.

Fuck That's Delicious was crazy last night.

Miz and Mrs. was great last night.

Hard Knocks was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Lucha Underground and Mr. Mercedes. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i know i have to take mom to a doctor's appointment tomorrow in the afternoon. she wants to go to lunch after that. so, i should be on here once we get home from that.

thankfully, it's been cool enough today to open the windows and let the house air out a bit. that's fucking rare for August in Ohio, that's for sure.

until tomorrow kids...

Siento que tengo un buen 15 años en mí y luego la muerte estaré llamando a la puerta

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...
