hard to believe what i saw...

 so, i thought i was being optimistic thinking Manchester United could get a draw yesterday against Liverpool. it was one of the rare occasions in my life where i was so fucking happy to be wrong. United played on the front foot from the start and were absolutely the more aggressive team. where the fuck has this been this season? now, full credit to ETH for dropping CR7 and Harry Maguire. the team looked way better without them. goals from Sancho and Rashford. United beat Liverpool, 2-1. that was the first time United has beat them in 4 1/2 years. hopefully, this game will serve as the moment Manchester United became Manchester United again.

the Yankees beat the Mets last night, 4-2. that was the first time the Yankees have won two games in a row in almost a month. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

Monday Night Raw was amazing last night. the Johnny Gargano return truly shocked me. the best thing about HHH running things now is it actually feels like anything could fucking happen at any time. that is what makes pro wrestling fun.

Industry was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, What We Do in the Shadows and Hard Knocks.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i need to pick up the trash and figure out dinner, so that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

siempre me encanta cuando puedo escuchar el rugido de una multitud

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:

another hot and humid day

yet another day when it's over 90 degrees at noon. i knew it was pretty bad when i went out to feed the cats and none of them greeted me. even after a few whistles, only two of them even bothered to look out of the barn stall. that's a good sign that it was really fucking hot. of course, they are calling for some storms tonight as a cold front is coming. just in time for high school football. good times.

i did watch some of the NFL game last night. i picked the winner right. Seattle looks like they are going to be tough to beat this year. hopefully the Saints can pull it off this season.

Nicole was evicted as i expected last night on Big Brother. and then i got my hopes up that Frankie was going to be next. sadly, that fucker won the POV, so Christine was evicted. they did reveal a new gimmick on the show. if it's anything like the rest of this season, i'm going to be disappointed.

Married was pretty funny last night. You're the Worst was great and had an ending that i didn't see coming. can't wait to see what happens next week.

after a trip to the grocery store later today, i figure i'll be watching the Stand Up to Cancer event on tv tonight. i lost my stepfather to that fucking disease, so i'm sure the emotions will be stirring for me. plus, it's on basically every channel, so there won't be much else to watch.

the Yankees got behind last night but came back to win it late, 5-4. it was nice to see 2 HUGE home runs in the bottom of the ninth to do it. 2 days in a row they have shown they care. now, try doing it against a first place team. they start a series with the Royals tonight.

i've had a fun day dealing with some water issues out here on the farm. usually when a sink is running slow, it means the filter is ready to be changed. i checked the filter, it was mostly clean, but i changed it anyway. that didn't work. so, now i'm guessing there's a buildup of gunk and god knows what else clogging the water. then, a few hours later, the toilets had a hard time flushing. i'm guessing it was an air pocket that was fucking things up. should make my shower interesting here in a few minutes.

i will most likely be working on some poems late tonight as i decided to be a lazy ass for most of today. plus, i think i do my best work at night anyway.

i will probably be on here tomorrow morning at some time. another day full of college football. Ohio State has a decent challenge with Virginia Tech tomorrow. plus, there are some pretty big games for just week 2.

i want to get a shower in before i go to the store. i, at the very least, try to be presentable when i go out into public. clean underwear usually helps in that regard.

so with that lovely visual, i bid you adieu. thanks for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.

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 my enemies...

embrace the pain

there is nothing sadder than looking at yourself in the mirror after the hockey team you have lived and died with since you were a child loses in double overtime in the Stanley Cup Final. and then trying to not break down like a child when you start to shave off the playoff beard. it's more than just a punch to the gut. it's like the lord has rolled up the newspaper and is now rubbing your face in an endless pile of shit. and i still need to eat breakfast.

the Rangers lost 3-2 in 2OT to end their season. congrats to the Kings. they are a great team. why the refs thought they constantly needed help in the series is beyond me, but that's just a bitter fan talking. Henrik was great once again but when it mattered, no one could score a fucking goal. lose 3 overtime games in a series and trust me, this will haunt every member of that team if they actually give a shit. i do expect them to make some big changes in the offseason. hopefully getting rid of some of that top heavy dead weight will go a long way to getting them back to the promised land again. and i certainly don't want to go another 20 years before they make it this far again. thank you boys for a great ride. and thank you to my razors for still working after not being touched for months.

the Yankees won their 4th win in a row last night, 7-0. Phelps pitched WAY better than he has in something like EVER. and the bats are FINALLY starting to show signs of life. they play again tonight out in Oakland.

the World Cup yesterday was pretty interesting. Mexico won 1-0 in a game where they were robbed of 2 goals that should have counted. Chile won 3-1 against an Australia side that showed more fight than people thought they had. but the shocker of the day was the Netherlands DESTROYING Spain 5-1. when RVP scored the goal right around the end of the first half, i immediately thought about how wonderful this will be when he is doing it for the same coach when they are both at Manchester United in a few months. and watching how Louis van Gaal manipulated his side filled me with some hope of what he will do at United.

today there are 4 games. Colombia vs. Greece. Uruguay vs. Costa Rica. Ivory Coast vs. Japan. and the big game of the day, England vs. Italy. that will be one juicy affair.

so you know what i'll be doing for most of the day.

the cold front FINALLY got through here and the weather is damn near perfect. if i wasn't so depressed last night, i might have actually enjoyed the windows being open and it feeling as cool as it was. i should be able to open up the house for most of the weekend.

plus, i'm sure the birds will be happy now that i'll start putting food out for them again. i don't like feeding them in the rain. mostly because i'm lazy.

i didn't get to bed until 4:30 in the morning. i was up again around 8. i'm guessing that at some point in the afternoon, some boring soccer is going to help me get some more sleep. and hopefully that will allow me to be awake when ROH comes on late tonight.

did some digging on iTunes last night to find some appropriate songs for my mood. you'll see those results below.

hope everyone has a great day. be well. enjoy the World Cup. hope for better officiating. and hopefully the England vs. Italy game doesn't disappoint.

peace my enemies...
