why i'm happy i never became a father day...

so i was doing a little more reading of my father's medical records last night. his grandmother had dementia. his mother had dementia. he had dementia. well, i suppose i know who is next in line for that one. his father committed suicide. so, it's pretty plain for me to see i come from a long line of crazy people. and since this country doesn't believe in doing anything for the mentally ill, i guess i'm fucked. good times.

Copa America Update:
Argentina defeated Venezuela 4-1. that sets up Argentina vs. USA in one semifinal. Chile destroyed Mexico last night 7-0. that sets up Chile vs. Colombia in the other semifinal. do i think the USA has a chance? yes. do i think they will beat the #1 team in the world? no. but i would love to be proved wrong. finishing in the top 4 of this tournament is a success for the USA team. now it's time to have dessert.

Euro 2016 Update:
Hungary got a very late gift from Iceland (own goal) to get a 1-1 draw yesterday. Portugal spit the bit again and ended up in a 0-0 draw against Austria. i can't believe CR7 missed the penalty kick. today France takes on Switzerland and Romania takes on Albania.

the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday to beat Minnesota 7-6. they will go for the sweep today.

ROH was excellent last night. i thought the episode did a great job setting up their next ppv.

mom and my sister got home around 8:30 last night. and mom wonders why she's in pain today.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Silicon Valley, Veep, Last Week Tonight and the season finale of Penny Dreadful.

most of the evening i'll be watching Money in the Bank on WWE Network. this looks like it could be an amazing pay per view. hopefully the show has some surprises and all the guys i want to win actually do win. plus, tonight will be the match that no one ever thought would happen, AJ Styles vs. John Cena. should be a very good night of pro wrestling.

i'll somehow try to keep up with Game 7 of the NBA Finals tonight as well.

i'd love to see Cleveland win. it will take a miracle for it to happen though.

i got a little sun yesterday feeding the birds. nothing too bad though. it's supposed to be even hotter today, so i'll be indoors.

that's all for me today kids. happy father's day to all the good fathers out there. the bad fathers don't deserve any recognition at all, so fuck off.

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:

at least the weather is nice

we had a bit of a plumbing nightmare yesterday as our water softener has more or less died. we'll be having a new one put in on Tuesday. needless to say, i won't be going to the tap for anything for the next few days. i'm basically waiting to see if the water we have now will glow in the dark or catch fire. fun.

i watched a few innings of the latest Yankee debacle last night. 4th loss in a row. i can't wait for this team to find bottom. hopefully it is soon. at least tonight's game is blacked out for me, so i won't be bothered with it.

i watched a little of the start of the Confederations Cup today. a nice tune-up for the World Cup next year. Brazil looked pretty good today.

my sister came down this morning. i got a look at her new car. looks really nice but there is basically no way i'll be in it. it sits way too low for my back. oh well. we did mom's birthday today. i think she was pretty pleased with her gifts. i have no clue if we're doing anything tomorrow. i believe my sister has to go back home tonight. maybe a Waffle House breakfast or something. or maybe not.

not sure what is going to win out for me this evening. the Batman movie on HBO or game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final. given how i feel about sports these days, i'm leaning to Batman.

plenty of reports that the New York Rangers have hired a new coach. it's the guy i was hoping for, Vancouver's former coach. i wanted him simply so i wouldn't have to see one of my heroes get fired. besides, i don't think Messier is ready for it just yet.

that's pretty much all for today.

a quick tip to the muse, turn your phone off. that tends to help stop the calls you don't want. and get some more sleep, you need it.

peace and chicken grease.
