a cruel sense of humor...

so i wrote in the blog yesterday about how no one said much to me the day before at the First Four. funny how life works. i brought along some gum. i have found that chewing gum tends to keep my mind from wandering into the darkness. at the very least, it slows down the pace of getting there i suppose. so, i got to the game and was sitting down, watching the players warm up, looking at the fans, etc. (as a poet, people watching is a necessity) when this woman from the section next to me came up and puts her hand on my shoulder. my first thought was who the fuck do you think you are? of course, i didn't verbalize that thought. she said i want you to keep it down over here. i saw you last night and you were just too rowdy. she said it in a way that i knew she was sarcastic or already drunk, i just sort of chuckled and went back to what i was doing. about 20 minutes later, a gay guy said hello to me. i figured by now, god and her cruel sense of humor was having fun. as for the games, North Dakota State, which had maybe half of the population of the state at the game, along with the school president, defeated NC Central, 78-74. i felt so bad for NC Central. they dug out of big hole, got the lead and then couldn't make a shot to save their lives down the stretch. that's the 3rd straight year they have lost at the First Four. in the second game, Arizona State and St. John's might have set basketball back 30 years with that one. so many fucking mistakes, horrible shot selection, it was like everyone was playing a video game version of the sport. Arizona State won, 74-65. i didn't get home until a quarter after midnight. i was going to leave early in the second half, setting the mark in my head that if St. John's didn't cut the lead to single digits by the first TV timeout, i was gone. sure enough, the fuckers cut the lead to 9. fuck. and to top everything off, it started to rain on the drive home. joy.

mom had everything ready when i got home. i was slightly surprised she was still awake.

NXT was excellent last night. i absolutely can't wait for the championship match at Takeover New York. Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano, 2 out of 3 falls. i'll go ahead and say it, match of the year by a mile.

NXT UK was excellent yesterday as well. i can't wait for Pete Dunne vs. Walter for the NXT UK title at Takeover New York.

You're the Worst was really good last night.

Drop the Mic was hilarious last night.

i've watched a little college basketball today. i've been flipping through the games, hoping for some upsets. Auburn just survived one.

the New York Yankees ended up losing yesterday to Houston, 2-1. they are getting destroyed by the Cardinals so far today. they went over a week without a loss. i can live with that if that is how the regular season is going to go.

the USMNT play a friendly tonight against Ecuador. i'll probably watch a little of that.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

i hope everyone has a great rest of the day.
