lucky once again

well, it looks like all the bad storms either went to the south of us or got bad after they went through us. we got some rain and wind, but nothing like they got in other places of the area. of course, it felt like it was nearly 100 degrees today, so i'm waiting for a pop up thunderstorm to hit at any minute. it was thundering when i woke up this morning. i didn't bother going back to sleep.

Copa America Update:
Chile defeated Columbia 2-0 in a rainy mess last night. so, the 3rd place game on Saturday will be Colombia vs. USA and the finals on Sunday will be Chile vs. Argentina. both matches should be really interesting.

Euro 2016 Update:
Hungary and Portugal played to a very entertaining 3-3 draw yesterday. Iceland got a goal at the death to stun Austria 2-1. Ireland had a massive upset of Italy 1-0 yesterday and Belgium defeated Sweden 1-0. so the final 16 are set. and there are some juicy matches in the next round. here is the bracket:

that right side of the bracket is fucking loaded, especially when Italy will play Spain and the winner is only in the quarterfinals. the knockout rounds should be very entertaining.

the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday and got a walk off homer from Starlin Castro to beat Colorado 9-8. that victory beer came out of nowhere. they are off tonight and start a series at home against the Twins tomorrow night.

Lucha Underground was really good last night. NXT also was very good.

Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons was interesting last night, mostly for how much Ben Affleck is up Tom Brady's ass.

Big Brother was pretty much what i thought it would be. some hot girls, some douchebag guys, 4 returners that i never liked to begin with and surprises that only make the show worse. but, i truly enjoy people getting on other people's nerves, and that is why the show is so good. i have no clue who is going home tonight. i know it's not who i was hoping for.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown, Lip Sync Battle and Big Brother.

i figure i will watch some of the NBA Draft tonight. i'm sure the Sacramento Kings will manage to fuck up their lottery pick somehow. i'd love if Dyshawn Pierre got drafted tonight, but that's not likely.

i wrote 5 poems between last night and this morning. i typed them up this afternoon. i really like all of them. i think i'm just going to stockpile for now and be prepared to flood the market after my 4 day journey to Cleveland.

i did catch up on some podcasts today. i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. it was excellent as usual.

that's all for me today kids. i hope this finds you relaxing in the some cool air conditioning. it's fucking hot as hell here right now. nothing like a feels like of 95.

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:

and then the old bones start to ache

when i went out to get the paper this morning, the skies were slowly turning black. i figured that was why my body was feeling like one achy fucking pile of bones. that was about 5 hours ago. things haven't got much better. but, i figured i better get this out of the way as i need to take mom to her ear doctor this afternoon. that should be fun if it's storming.

enjoy some music my friends:

the New York Yankees got another game of shitty pitching, losing to the worst team in baseball, 11-8. talk about a fucking frustrating game to watch. i will hopefully have better things to watch tonight than the game.

team USA beat Colombia 2-0 yesterday in the Women's World Cup. they still haven't played a solid 90 minutes in the tournament. they will play China on Friday. sadly, due to yellow cards, the USA will be missing two key players. hopefully they can advance without them.

Monday Night Raw was just sort of blah last night. other than the opening:

hell, even the interchange between John Cena and Kevin Owens just felt like everything was just going through the motions:

thankfully, there was some funny shit on tv last night. enjoy:

i need to remember to bring along some pen and paper when i take my mother to the doctor. i always get some interesting thoughts that come to me in waiting rooms.

tonight on the DVR will be WWE Tough Enough and Deadliest Catch.

at some point tonight i need to pick up the trash and get that wheeled down to the curb. that feels so weird to type after 15 years of loading the trash in the truck to take down to the road.

hopefully, if it does decide to rain, it will hurry the fuck up and get it over with.

today was new FREE music day. so all the songs that will be listed below i got for FREE on iTunes.

hope this finds everyone enjoying some air conditioning and maybe a cool drink of their choice.

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...
