starting to feel my age...

 when the famous people close to my own age start dying, it really starts to hit home. DMX was only 5 years older than i am. damn.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Pittsburgh, 5-2. they play at the Islanders tonight.

night 2 of NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver was fucking amazing. they certainly laid down the bar for the main roster to jump over this weekend. i doubt many can...

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

B Positive was very good last night.

The United States of Al was good last night.

Clarice was fucking spooky last night.

Cake was weird as usual last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live tonight on Peacock, probably on my phone.

the Yankees play down in Tampa this afternoon. Aaron Judge is out again. i swear, this team always has some fucking injury going on every damn year it seems.

i woke up to the news that Prince Philip had died. finally. 

i don't think i'll be going to Menards today. maybe that turns into a weekend thing. or maybe it never happens.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. if a wild hair gets up my ass, i might have some poetry news to pass along.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

get the shot.

Todos vamos a morir un día

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...
