welcome to August...

 so, i stayed up late last night to watch the USWNT take on Portugal. there's a couple of hours i'll never get back. Portugal completely outplayed the USA for the ENTIRE game. they were probably 1/2 inch away from winning the game late, which they deserved to do. the game finished 0-0. this means the USA finished 2nd in the group. in the grand scheme of things, it means they will play Sweden next most likely. and honestly, if they play like this against Sweden, they will get crushed.

the Yankees lost last night to Tampa Bay, 5-1. today was the trade deadline in MLB. i was really hoping the Yankees were going to blow it up and get some prospects or trade the prospects they have for some players. they did neither. they acquired two relief pitchers for a player and cash. they are in no man's land. the players on the team aren't good enough and the prospects are not ready to get up here. honestly, Hal needs to get his head out of his ass and just fire everyone and start the fuck over. hell, the GM has been there 25 fucking years. it is time to move the fuck on.

the Columbus Crew shocked me yesterday. they sold their best player to Saudi Arabia and then went out and whipped Club America in the Leagues Cup, 4-1.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Don't Forget the Lyrics and Dark Side of the Ring. i'll watch Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge tomorrow on Peacock.

i did go to the bank today and to Rite Aid to pick up a prescription.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get all the grocery shopping done.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

aquí vienen los días caninos del verano

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...

one of those mornings where death would have been a better option...

i tell everyone i possibly can, never have a bad back. i couldn't get my back loose until this afternoon. mind you, i have been up since about 4 this morning. i'm not even sure if i did sleep. i think it was more just tossing and turning. i think i may know why...

the muse and i had a really intense conversation last night about racism. part of what i feared about being stuck in a small town that has no fucking clue what diversity is, that mentality would start to slip into my mindset. and, apparently it has. using the word stupid when ignorant or hateful would have been a better choice set off an ass ripping that i sorely needed. so, maybe my tossing and turning was more or less me coming to grips with myself. i can only hope to be better after this.

the New York Rangers won in a shootout last night over Colorado, 3-2. the Rangers play tonight in Washington. i will be shocked if they actually win two in a row.

the USA Men's National Team played Peru to a 1-1 draw last night. Peru scored late to get the draw. considering who the USA is missing, i'm pretty happy with the result.

it was the 1,000th episode of Smackdown last night. i thought the show was pretty good, but you could tell it was rushed for time at the end.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

The Voice was pretty good last night.

Mayans M.C. was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Total Divas, Mr. Mercedes and American Horror Story. i'll watch 205 Live, NXT and the Mae Young Classic sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did watch NXT UK this afternoon on WWE Network. it was really good.

mom had a guy come out this morning to give her an estimate on the blinds for the new windows. i think the ones she's getting are going to look really good. if all goes well, they will be installed before Thanksgiving. the guy who is coming to give us an estimate on new doors just rang the doorbell.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.

there's fucking snow in the forecast. they aren't talking any accumulations, but fuck me.

mom's doing well after her eye surgery. i'm hoping the left eye goes just as well next week.

that's all for me kids. i now have to go out and see how much mom is going to spend on doors.

la ignorancia es una puta enfermedad

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...
