that fresh sunburn kind of feel

so, i was trying to get to bed kind of early last night and around 11:30, i started to smell something. i started to walk around the house and quickly realized there has to be a fucking skunk somewhere outside. we had the air conditioning on and well, just fuck me. so much for getting to sleep early.

i didn't sleep well at all last night. maybe just 2 or 3 hours at a time. but, i was up and showered and made it to the doctor's office on time. the doctor was very pleased with me. my weight is down. my A1C was excellent. my blood pressure was very good. he even gave me the option to give up one of the pills i'm on for Type 2 Diabetes but i decided to keep things the same for now. i'd like to see if my weight continues to go down if my A1C will follow.

the grocery store this morning was a little crazy. plenty of people trying to get all the shopping done before the heat of the day and while it isn't fucking raining. amazingly, i got everything on the list and kept it under $90. mom was shocked when she saw the receipt.

she then had me go to the drugstore to return one thing and find another. i had to get some shit while i was there as well. so that was my morning and early afternoon.

time for a fucking nap.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. Cody got evicted, although i'm pretty sure the producers would love to see him comeback in a week. Alex is the new HOH, so it could be an interesting week.

the 30 for 30: Mike and The Mad Dog was pretty good last night. if you ever want to know why sports talk radio is the way it is, blame those two.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of shows.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night. here are the links:
Cris Jacobs - Dust to Gold
Jordan Lovelis - MYSTERY'S TEETH

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE and NJPW.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight up in Boston. a sweep could go a long way to getting back into the race for the division. but, if they get swept and given the Yankees injuries, it may be time to turn the season over to the kids.

i will be on here early tomorrow. there is a ton happening in the afternoon and evening, so look for me in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great start to their weekend.

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 rain

so when i woke up this morning with my back feeling like an elephant slept on it, i figured it had rained some overnight. sure enough, it did. then the sun came out and made shit sticky as hell. that only means the thunderstorms this afternoon will have more force behind them. good times.

mom found a box this morning as she was going through her room. she called me into her room and gave it to me. much to my surprise, it was some of my father's shit. a couple of really nice watches. and after i moved those out of the way, the oh shit moments started. i was now looking at the medals he got while serving in Vietnam. then his dog tags. then some money from China and Vietnam. a necklace from his high school baseball team. as i'm sitting there somewhat stunned, i believe my mother put it best. he really did just leave his whole damn life behind. the box is now tucked away in my closet. i have no fucking clue what i'm going to do with it.

here's some music, please enjoy:

i spent a good portion of this morning finding FREE music on NoiseTrade. i'll provide those links below in the music section.

the New York Yankees lost last night 5-3. they play this afternoon in Boston. hopefully they finish out the last game before the All-Star break with a win.

Power was excellent last night. the ending was really, really good. to see the look on Angela's face when she finally put two and two together was fucking perfect.

as tempted as i was to get the UFC fight last night, i didn't. i guess i missed one hell of a ppv.

i did catch ROH this morning. good thing i had it on the DVR as i was so damn tired i fell asleep after the first match last night. the show was excellent as always. the main event set up what should be a great match for their 200th episode next week.

ladies and gentlemen, some poetry:

i'm hoping the storms don't get too bad today. and i am especially hoping they don't fuck up the satellite feed tonight. the evening will start off with Big Brother. from there, it will be absolute chaos. all of these shows are on tonight, The Strain, True Detective, The Brink, Ballers, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex. the DVR will be busy tonight.

on top of all that, since it will be raining, i won't be shocked when mom decides she wants to do some shit around the house. especially since she knows if we're going to get a second car, we should probably clean out a spot for it in the garage first. good times.

i hope everyone has a good Sunday. live it up boys and girls, you never know how many more you have in ya.

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...
