this death hit me like a ton of bricks...

so when my mother told me last night that Justin Townes Earle had died, my heart sunk. i was a huge fan of his music. his stories always resonated with me. his struggles with addiction always hit home. and i was really hoping he had turned the corner with his life, the new child, etc. and to die at 38 is so fucking tragic. so yeah, i've been playing his songs on repeat for the last 24 hours or so. thanks for all these songs. you will be always remembered and sadly missed.

the season finale of The Chi was a little subdued last night. i'm interested to see where it goes from here.

We Hunt Together was good last night.

Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.

Big Brother was good last night.

Lovecraft Country was excellent last night.

The Vow was pretty interesting last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

WWE SummerSlam was okay last night and then last 3 matches really were awesome. i loved that Asuka won the Raw Women's title. i love that Drew defeated Randy Orton. and i was fine with The Fiend winning the Universal Championship over Braun, mostly because of what happened next. the surprise return of Roman Reigns, and he returned as a heel. this is going to be fun.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and the season finale of I May Destroy You. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 305 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

here are your NBA highlights from yesterday:

i did watch the Champions League final yesterday. Bayern Munich defeated PSG 1-0.

mom's doctor's appointment was this afternoon thankfully. we went to Waffle House afterwards. it was hot enough today that she went to sleep right after she got home.

i'll probably watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight during wrestling.

my fingers are crossed that the Yankees are actually going to be playing tomorrow. if that happens, i'll be on here before the game.

i know it's supposed to rain here tomorrow, so i'll probably be in some pain while writing. joy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.
