the words come creeping in late at night

i was ready to fall asleep last night. i had some music on. the lotion was put away. and then i had a line of words enter my head that lit a fucking fire in my imagination. here's the words... wake up each morning and wish for a death that will make the six o'clock news. that sent the wheels in motion. i got 2 poems out of it. i typed them up this morning. i really like both of them. hopefully i can get those published in the next month or so.

the cold front finally came through and the rain was definitely needed. it didn't rain as much as i would have liked, but it did at least get everything wet. we were out and about when most of it came. amazingly, the trips to the stores yesterday went much smoother than i think my mother or i expected. and i was able to get back home in time to watch team USA play in the Women's World Cup.

the ladies looked a little shaky to start things out. Hope Solo thankfully was on right from the start. i think the last 30 minutes or so the USA was able to really wear down Australia. USA wins 3-1. next up is a huge game against Sweden.

Monday Night Raw started off last night really good:

and then it got even better:

sadly, it was all downhill from there. hopefully that means they will be amazing this Sunday at the Money in the Bank ppv.

here's some funny shit from last night:

i woke up this morning and decided we should open the windows and give the air conditioning a break. mostly because it's supposed to be in the 90's the next couple of days. nothing quite like being a fat hairy person in the summer.

the birds seem to like the new food i got them. i have had to move some feeders around. as i told mom, are we feeding them for us to watch or for them to live. she said it was for us to watch. so, i of course moved two feeders where we can't see them easily. the joy of being an asshole.

enjoy a quick music break:

the New York Yankees start a quick two game series tonight with the Nationals. it's a great pitching matchup tonight, so i figure the final score will be 9-8. hopefully the Yankees can keep the winning streak going.

on the DVR tonight will be Deadliest Catch.

today was FREE music day between iTunes and NoiseTrade. i also got a free song with a Pringles promotion. so, all the music you see today i got for FREE. i'll provide some links for the ones on NoiseTrade.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow before it gets really hot and i get really fucking cranky. i've got shit situated in my room now that i might start cranking out some YouTube videos again. at least that looks good when typed. i've got a few ideas floating in my head. i just need to match up poems to video ideas. there's the tricky part.

that's all for today. go enjoy a fine glass of wine or an expensive meal on a stranger's credit card.

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 pro wrestling video of the day:

sweating before noon

i woke up this morning before 7 am. my first thought was why. i can't believe that i'm still not able to sleep in. drinking doesn't work, exhaustion doesn't work, no alarm doesn't work, fuck me.

i decided this would be a morning of music and no television. that also allowed me to get the toilets cleaned, the trash picked up, animals fed, and the paper picked up (after a 1/2 mile walk down and back to get it) all before 11 am. and i wasn't exactly productive because i wanted to be. it was more about being pissed i was awake.

the Yankees got just enough offense yesterday to win 3-1. it was the 250th victory for Andy Pettitte in his career. a nice round number. they will have their work cut out for them today going against King Felix. not sure how much i want to watch a constant path of walking back to the dugout today.

last night's ROH was excellent, at least what i saw of it. i woke up just in time for the main event. and anytime you can watch the American Wolves and the Briscoes wrestle it's going to be worth any time spent on it. and it was.

while watching Chicago eliminate the Kings last night in double overtime i was really happy that i have Patrick Kane on my fantasy team. he seems to be getting hot at the right time.

i was flipping between that and the concert last night for Big Head Todd and the Monsters last night on AXS TV. i can't believe their first album is now 20 years old. shit i feel old. it was a great concert. first time i really watched Trombone Shorty (the opening act) play. i'll definitely have to check out more of his music.

as for today, i see a long nap during NASCAR or the Yankees game or both. then the usual Sunday night shows and a good portion of game 2 of the NBA Finals.

and sometime before the rain comes tonight i need to get some dead limbs cut down and read the damn paper i guess.

may your weekend end in style or at least without any blood on your hands.

music today:

Big Head Todd and The Monsters - Sister Sweetly
Steve Earle - Copperhead Road
Ryan Bingham - Tomorrowland
The Band - Greatest Hits
