signing a deal with the Red Devil

so i woke up this morning to this:

i honestly never thought i'd see the day that this would happen. of course, i didn't think Manchester United was going to fall into the Liverpool abyss once Sir Alex left. the one thing i have always respected about Jose Mourinho is his desire to fucking win. while i hope he does it the "Manchester United" way, all i really care about is watching the boys win trophy after trophy. this will certainly be an interesting summer now.

we did end up getting a new printer yesterday. i was shocked that we were in and out of Best Buy in probably 15 minutes. mom knew the printer she wanted and made sure to let the sales person know that it was cheaper online at the Best Buy website. the guy looked it up and said he would match it and boom, we're done. we got a HP Envy 7640. it was pretty simple to set up and so far, so good.

after that we had an early dinner at an actual steakhouse. we don't do that very often. the food was great and probably helped me sleep.

the New York Yankees lost again yesterday, 3-1. they pissed away a great game from CC. so much for the offense clicking. they start another series on the road tonight in that dump down in Tampa.

i see the Stanley Cup Final is set up now. Pittsburgh vs. San Jose. i know who i am rooting for.

WWE Smackdown was excellent last night. i can't wait to see what WWE does with the upcoming brand split.

Lip Sync Battle was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and VICE.

i sent out 18 poems today. 3 to Dead Snakes and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Misfit Magazine and The Australian Times. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.

i got some excellent FREE music at NoiseTrade last night. i'll put those links down in the music section.

i will probably end up watching some of Toronto vs. Cleveland tonight. hopefully Cleveland can end the series tonight.

it is rather hot here today. feels like it is in the low 90's. we haven't turned on our air conditioning yet. i'm interested to see how long until mom tells me to turn it on.

i hope everyone has a great holiday weekend. i don't think i really have any plans, so hopefully it's just a nice, relaxing long 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 then the music died...

so it was around 2 in the morning last night that i decided to check my email. i'm trying to get in the habit of checking it before i go to bed each night so i don't wake up to 200 emails. so i got 5 poems rejected from Carcinogenic Poetry (more on that later) and tried to print out the email. i like to keep that shit for my records. what printed out looked nothing like the email. so i replaced the ink. the next effort was even worse. fuck. so i guess the printer is now dead. i decided to wait until this morning to let my mom know, as i'm pretty sure she didn't want to hear that news at 2 AM. and now it looks like her cell phone might be dead, so i guess we'll be going to Best Buy sometime this afternoon. that's why i'm writing this now.

the poems rejected were from a submission back in September of last year. i really like these poems, so i'm going to flip them to another place. so i'll be sending out 18 poems tomorrow. good times.

the New York Yankees winning streak ended last night, losing 8 to 4. well, it was bound to end sometime. they play again this afternoon. a win will give them another series win.

NXT was really good last night. i can't wait until the next Takeover event in 2 weeks.

Lucha Underground was great last night. 2 titles changed hands, so it was a memorable episode.

it feels like it is going to rain today. i've got a headache and all my nerves in my body are firing it seems. oh joy.

i just saw that Sky Sports said it's official between Jose Mourinho and Manchester United. oh boy. let the fun begin. fun as in chaos. as i heard one United fan put it, it will be nice to be hated once again.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown and Lip Sync Battle. i'll probably be watching some playoff hockey and basketball as well.

congrats to the San Jose Sharks on making it to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time ever. expect to get screwed if you end up playing the Penguins.

i did see a little of Cleveland destroying Toronto last night. it's amazing how well they can play when Kevin Love actually shows up.

i did watch most of team USA vs. Ecuador last night. the first half was dreadful. the second half was much better. i hope the coach learned the two players he MUST play for the USA to actually be good. Christian Pulisic and Darlington Nagbe. they were the two biggest reasons for the unexpected 1-0 victory. i don't give them much of a chance in the Copa America, but if those two play, at least they will be entertaining and have that, well, you never know chance to win. of course, Jurgen will probably stay stubborn and not play them.

that's all for me today. i'm going to go shave and take a shower. enjoy the visual.

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...
