such perfect timing

the ceremony last night that the Dayton Flyers had for Big Steve was really good. they presented his mother with his championship ring from winning the A10 last season. when she started to cry it took everything i had from not weeping. the whole team then gathered around Big Steve's family and hugged each other. Big Steve will always be missed and he will always be a Flyer.

Dayton came out and absolutely dominated Austin Peay from start to finish last night. Charles Cooke scored 31 points, 24 of those came in the first half. you know it's always a successful first game of the season when the walk-ons are playing at the end. Dayton won 96-68. they next play at Alabama on Tuesday.

i got home just in time to turn on the Mexico vs. USA World Cup qualifying game. sure enough, 30 seconds after i turned it on, Mexico scored to take a 2-1 lead. fuck me runnin'. i didn't feel like watching any highlights or figuring out why the USA lost the game. it was their first home qualifying loss in 15 years. i did read about shit this morning though. as usual, the coach out thought himself once again and fucked things up. now, the game in Costa Rica is a MUST for the team. they will be fucked if they don't get a result in the game.

the 2 shows on DirecTV about Butch Walker last night were really good. if you haven't heard of Butch Walker, i highly suggest you seek his music out.

the 2 episodes of NJPW were excellent last night.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of reporting.

the season finale of Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night. i think he had some excellent points that Democrats truly need to fucking learn if they want to start winning elections again.

i also watched Bert Kreischer's special on Showtime, The Machine. i was laughing my ass off at 4 in the morning. too fucking funny. i highly recommend it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and Austin City Limits.

i had to take a piss sample to the doctor's office this morning and pick up my mother's long term disability paperwork. i'm interested to see what comes back in the piss after a night of drinking.

Ohio State plays at Maryland later this afternoon. hopefully they come back with a victory.

the New York Rangers play tonight out in Calgary. hopefully they can get back on a winning streak.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before the New Orleans Saints play a huge game at home against Denver.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

waiting for the worm to turn

first off, let me highly recommend The Sam Roberts Show Online #27. this episode finds Sam chatting with Bert Kreischer. if you need an hour of laughing your ass off in your life, you have found it. you can find the show at Stitcher, ITunes, or www.notsam.com. leave comments on the contact page and help Sam out if you can.

my internet has moving slower than shit today. constantly going in and out. combine this with the Yankees having their asses handed to them the last 2 nights in Chicago, and i'm in a great fucking mood. i'm home alone for the next 2 days or just about and in a pissy mood. bad combination. i'm thinking of doing some writing tonight or maybe some painting. all depends on the Yankees i suppose. if they get swept i might actually get to see what my angry paintings will look like. with the lead in the division down to 4, i can wait for my angry paintings.

other than that, got my fantasy football shit in line. have 3 drafts lined up for NFL and got my college teams ready for games on ESPN.com. hard to believe it's that time of year again.

on the poetic tip, i seem to be in a holding pattern. waiting on my book to come out. waiting to hear back on some submissions. waiting on some money that's supposedly coming. thank god my patience is biblical. i hate to see what crime i'd be in jail for if it wasn't.
