welcome to the weekend...

 they simply don't have enough hours for all the shit i try to get done each fucking day. but, i try my best to do as much as possible since i know, one day, i won't be around anymore. and i know exactly what i'm seeing on the horizon.

i think i made my first sale of baseball cards today. fingers crossed.

i am going through all my albums of cards and getting them in order. i went a little nuts this afternoon and did 8 of them. i think i only have 3 left to do now. i have 36 total!!!!

the Yankees became the first MLB team to ever hit 6 or more home runs in 3 straight games. they swept the Blue Jays last night, 10-7. they start a series tonight in Boston. i really hope they just keep on fucking winning.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NXT UK was excellent last night. i'm so happy they are back.

Holey Moley was hilarious last night.

Big Brother went as i thought it would go. Ian got evicted. Memphis is the new HOH, in yet another sign that 2020 is the year from fucking hell.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

here are your NHL highlights from last night:

the Stanley Cup Final should be a good one, Dallas vs. Tampa Bay.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Room 104 and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will probably watch some of the Lakers vs. Nuggets tonight as well.

i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. if not, here is the preview to the match:

i really hope everyone has a great weekend. at the very least, have a great Friday night...

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

todo encontrará su lugar

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:

what happens when you can't find the pleasure in the pain

i don't know if it was because i slept wrong or not enough or did something i completely don't remember, but my back and my left ankle have been in tremendous pain today. this is always fun when you don't have anything in the house for the pain other than alcohol. and being trashed by 2 in the afternoon is something i would like to hold off on until i have lost all hope. and believe it or not, i'm not there yet.

the Yankees must have decided winning 1 game was enough last night as they completely mailed in the second game of the doubleheader. that did free up plenty of time for me to watch hockey. more on that later. the Yankees start a series with Tampa tonight which could go a long way in determining if they will still be in shouting distance of first place in the division or one spot from the basement of the division. as you can tell, this season is destroying my nerves.

the hockey game last night reminded me of hockey when i was growing up. 6-5 win in overtime for Chicago. this series has seven games written all over it.

and speaking of game 7, the last game of the NBA season is tonight. i might pay a little more attention to it than i normally do. but not much. and that's because...

Wilfred comes back on FX tonight. one of the few shows that makes me laugh out loud literally.

quick critter update: 1 more raccoon caught. i believe that is all of them. still no sign of the skunk or the groundhog. i figure they either have ran away or the nursing coyote in the back of the property wanted a snack or two.

the Manchester United rumors are heating up. anything i read i take with a grain of salt until i read it on the official website. i'm not exactly thrilled how the schedule for next season starts out. Moyes better have the team firing from the start. many tough fixtures in the beginning. get those out of the way in good shape and another title could be coming.

a quick shout out to the muse. i do hope stress isn't beating you down today.

i did figure out what poems will be going where tomorrow. i figured since i have had a pretty damn good week in the poetry world, i would send them out on a Friday. it's something i normally don't do, but since this has been a superstition busting week, i figured i might as well continue that trend.

i hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow...
