nothing like a bowling ball on the small of your back...

on average, i probably get 3 hours of sleep in my bed because of the pinched nerve in my right arm. then, with the help of some ice and the massage chair, i might get a couple hours in that. expect for this morning, when a fucking cramp in my left leg woke me up after 45 minutes. fucking joy. so yeah, to say i'm a little pissy today...

the New York Yankees lost to Oakland last night, 5-3. they start a series tonight at the Dodgers, which many believe will be a World Series preview. the Yankees have lost 4 games in a row. this isn't exactly how i wanted them to enter this series.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. Sis got evicted, which was probably a mistake in my opinion. Holly won HOH, marking the first time this season someone has won it twice.

the series finale of Baskets was a little bittersweet.

the grocery store wasn't as crowded as i was expecting today. the tariffs are definitely starting to creep up the prices now. joy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Real Time with Bill Maher and A Black Lady Sketch Show.

i figure i might end up watching some NFL tonight and probably some MLS as well.

my lower back has been killing me today. it's so much fun to be walking in the grocery store and watch the elderly move past you. i did have a good laugh when this drunk asked me where the fuck do they keep the lemons and limes, where you can buy just one. i pointed over to the produce and started to chuckle. i guess a drunk can always recognize another friendly soul.

i get the feeling i'm going to spend most of tonight in my massage chair icing my back. exactly how i wanted to start my weekend.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the morning.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow...

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:

a little writing and a little morning sweat

i wrote 4 poems yesterday, completely out of the blue. those 4 poems actually filled up the notebook i've been writing in for the last 15 months. i typed them up and i have to admit, i really like these 4. i will probably include them in my next round of submissions, which i hope to get out before the end of the month.

i guess a little nostalgia helped the New York Yankees yesterday. after the retirement of Jorge Posada's #20, they actually scored some runs for their rookie pitcher. congrats to Severino on his first MLB win as the Yankees won 6-2. they will go for the split in the series today after the retirement ceremony for Andy Pettitte. his #46 will be going into Monument Park.

the wrestling last night was excellent. ROH was great. so great that i'm recording it again today. NXT Takeover: Brooklyn was off the charts great. the women's match between Sasha Banks and Bayley was one of the best women's matches i have ever seen. the storytelling was incredible. i felt sorry for Finn Balor and Kevin Owens to have to go after that one. but the lasting image of this event will be what happened after the women's match.

these 4 ladies are the revolution and i have no doubt they will all succeed in this business. i doubt tonight's SummerSlam will come close to NXT last night. although, i wouldn't mind being wrong about that.

also on the DVR last night was the Austin City Limits performance from Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds. always good to have that one on hand just in case i need some inspiration.

enjoy some music and a kick ass poem perfect for a Sunday:

other than SummerSlam tonight, on my DVR will be the season finales of The Brink and Ballers; The Strain, Ray Donovan, Big Brother, Masters of Sex and Last Week Tonight. i have no clue when i will get around to watching all of them.

i helped mom this morning do some work in the flower beds and then put up some shelves in the garage. that certainly helped getting some shit off of the floor in the garage. plus, it will now force mom to go through the shit out there.

i figure at some point today i need to work in a shower and a nap. wrestling is going to be 4 hours long tonight, so i would hope not to be an old man and fall asleep before it's over.

that's all for me today kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

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...
