at least i didn't have to watch it...

i was really hoping Manchester United would have an easy game today, maybe flex some muscles and play big boy football today and dispatch Derby County with ease. apparently, today is the latest jolt to my senses that the days of Sir Alex are not only dead, they are never coming back. i almost wish Fellaini wouldn't have scored at the death to send the game to penalties. and sure enough, as soon as i saw that Phil Jones was coming up in the 8th round of penalty kicks, there was nothing but a sense of doom inside me. i'm old enough to have seen this shit before. of course Phil Jones fucked it up. as one person put it online, that sums up his entire Manchester United career. Derby won 8-7 on penalty kicks. so, the most realistic chance United had for silverware this season is fucking gone. maybe if it was a loss to another Premier League team, i wouldn't be so pissed. but, the constant playing down to your competition is not only a problem with the players, coaches, but also the fucking ownership. those assholes are only interested in making money.

the New York Yankees used 8 pitchers last night to defeat Tampa 4-1. that eliminated Tampa from any chance of making the playoffs. the magic number for the Yankees to clinch home field in the wild card game is 4.

the New York Rangers defeated New Jersey in OT last night, 4-3.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice was really good last night.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was funny last night.

Jane Fonda in Five Acts was excellent last night. the pacing of it was perfect. it certainly didn't feel like you were watching for over 2 hours by the end of it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, Mayans M.C., Mr. Inbetween and The Voice.

i'm not sure how much of that i will actually watch tonight as i have to be out of here before 7 in the morning for mom's doctor's appointment. i suppose i should actually get to bed before 3 in the morning.

i'll probably be on here in the afternoon tomorrow. i have no clue how long mom's appointment will be and i know she wants to get breakfast after that. and i'm guessing i will have shows to catch up on on the DVR. so yeah, afternoon sounds good.

a little poetry news before i go. i sent out 3 poems today to Cajun Mutt Press. when i hear back from J.D. i will pass along the verdict.

i have trash to go pick up and i'd love to get that done before it starts raining again and before it gets completely dark. we've had 1.5 inches of rain since yesterday.

tentar a tus demonios y bailar al borde de la vida

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...
