not enough hours in the day

i'm not quite sure what the fuck i was dreaming about last night. there was this black woman i wrote about in a poem yesterday, two pieces of moldy bread, a waterfall in South Asia, a gypsy telling me about my death and a hippie playing an acoustic guitar. i only had one damn drink last night. i figure i'm either getting ready to snap or that coconut rum had more than just coconut in it.

there was so much on television last night that i ended up having to watch some of it this morning. i have to find time to sneak in a nap here and there.

i wasn't too happy with how the USA played last night against Martinique. they struggled for most of the game and once again had a let down when they scored. you can't have a team that is like that come back from down 2-0 to make it 2-2 in just a matter of minutes. thank god Jordan Morris found some of his old form last night to score the winner. a 3-2 win with way too many questions to be answered. they better find those answers soon if they actually want to win the Gold Cup.

Lucha Underground was excellent last night.

NXT was really good last night.

Snowfall was amazing last night.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty funny last night.

Big Brother was fucking hilarious last night. hopefully Cody will be voted out tonight.

Part 4 of The Defiant Ones last night was pretty good. overall, i think if you are young and don't know much about the history of music, this series would be an excellent start for you. as for myself, it was good to reminisce over a time in music that i loved and grew up in.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and 30 for 30: Mike and The Mad Dog.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:

it's been raining here most of the day. i know the arthritis in my right shoulder is horrific now.

i will be on here tomorrow sometime after my doctor's appointment and a trip to the grocery store.

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...

hazy hot and humid

i made sure to wear light colored clothes today as i knew i was going to be outside a little and it was supposed to be around 90 with a completely unbearable humidity. so i broke out my bright ass yellow t-shirt, figuring that should do the trick. walking just 10 feet from the parking lot to the pizza place mom and i went for lunch, i was sweating like a crook walking into church.

i did do a little poetry writing last night and this afternoon. in total, i typed up 7 poems this afternoon. i really like a few of them. i have enough for another round of submissions, so you have been warned.

i did watch a little of the All-Star game last night. ex-Yankee Robinson Cano hit the go ahead home run in the 10th inning (50 years to the day that Tony Perez hit a home run in extra innings of the All-Star game in 1967) and ex-Yankee Andrew Miller got the save as the American League won 2-1.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night. there's no way you would catch me doing anything in a fucking arctic hurricane.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was pretty good as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

The Defiant Ones, Part 3 was mostly about the rap war in the early 90's. i also enjoyed the behind the scenes stories on how Interscope Records signed Nine Inch Nails away from TVT Records.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Lucha Underground, Snowfall, Lip Sync Battle and The Defiant Ones, Part 4. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'm really hoping that the boys have their heads on straight tonight and are ready to dominate when the USA plays Martinique tonight in the Gold Cup.

mom did pretty good today. amazingly, the place where she had her doctor's appointment and had to get some blood work done was running smoothly today. i just wish she could actually get some sleep at night. she more or less sleeps only in the day now.

i will be on here tomorrow before i take mom to her physical therapy appointment. hopefully the storms tomorrow aren't as bad as yesterday's storms were. there are still some people in this county without power.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

nothing quite like running a vacuum during a damn tornado

well, not quite a tornado but the wind was whipping somewhere around 80 mph while i was running the vacuum in the kitchen. i had to vacuum the whole house today because mom sneezed. i truly love that she is getting crazier as she gets older. like she's going to out-crazy me. please.

the storm knocked down some huge limbs here in the cul-de-sac. i had some solar lights come out of the ground. and of course that's in the part of our front yard that floods.

i did watch a good portion of the Home Run Derby last night. if the world didn't know about Aaron Judge before last night, they sure as hell know who is now.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i especially liked that they decided to keep Samoa Joe in the main event picture. and thank god the Kurt Angle drama will come to a head next week.

The Defiant Ones, Part 2 last night was mostly about N.W.A. i can still remember exactly where i was the first time i heard Fuck Tha Police.

i did write one poem last night after mom's physical therapy session. i haven't typed it up yet. i'm hoping a few more pop in my head before the end of the week.

i had a pretty good trip to the bank yesterday. the one teller that sort of knows who i am, who just happens to be this cute black woman as well, was the one working yesterday. she saw me walk up and smiled. i figure i'm reading too much into that. i made a quick one liner that made her laugh, which i took as a good sign. not good enough for me to engage further or anything. but... she did call me Mr. Campbell when she handed me my receipt. that's a good way to make me feel fucking old.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. The Defiant Ones, Part 3, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will probably also watch a little of MLB All Star Game tonight. i know Aaron Judge is batting third in the top of first inning, so i have no clue how much i will watch after that.

i did listen to the latest Jim Norton & Sam Roberts podcast today. you can find that by going here:

i'll be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to another doctor's appointment and to get some blood work done. joy.

i now have trash to pick up and dishes to do. at least the rain has stopped.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

so much still to do

i've got about a million things i want to get done before i have to take my mother to her physical therapy today. a shower, a shave and a trip to the bank are at the top of the list.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday 5-3.  they are 45-41 at the All Star break. i remember when they used to be 15 games over .500. oh well. i will probably watch some of the Home Run Derby tonight, just to see Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez.

WWE Great Balls of Fire was excellent last night. it looked like it was going to be a good one on paper and for the first time in a long time, it was better. the ambulance match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman was great. hopefully it was the double turn that all of us older fans thought it was. Samoa Joe and Brock Lesnar was pretty good, even though i was hoping Joe was going to do a little more damage in the match. the tag team title iron man match was way better than it should have been. all in all, i really have no complaints.

part 1 of The Defiant Ones last night on HBO was excellent. even though i knew most of it, it was great to see some of the old footage of Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. hopefully part 2 tonight is just as good.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i think Cody knows he's dead man walking.

Power was great last night. next week's episode looks to be even better.

Twin Peaks was fucking crazy once again last night. i love just how surreal this show is.

I'm Dying Up Here was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Defiant Ones, Part 2. i will be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i see that Manchester United has made it official. they have signed Romelu Lukaku. hopefully he continues to score goals like he did at Everton.

that's all for me kids. i'm sure i'll have stories to share tomorrow after the bank and physical therapy. i hope everyone had a great weekend.

the end of an era

so i woke up to news this morning that i was expecting. that doesn't mean it didn't bring back a flood of memories. thanks for all the great times. thanks for the greatest goal i have ever seen. thanks for all the trophies you helped lift. and thanks for the last 13 years. you will always be a legend.

i wasn't that happy with team USA yesterday. the 1-1 draw with Panama probably should have been a loss. the midfield played like shit for most of the game and for some fucking reason, it felt like the team took a step back once Dom Dwyer scored to put them ahead. i do know one thing, Dom Dwyer is the striker they have been missing for years.

say hello to the next Yankee legend, Clint Frazier...

hopefully the Yankees will actually win today to win a damn series before the All Star break.

ROH was very good last night.

Tour de Pharmacy was so fucking stupid it was great last night. as one reviewer put it, it was a long SNL skit about cycling and dick jokes. pretty much.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power, Twin Peaks, I'm Dying Up Here and The Defiant Ones, Part 1.

i will be watching WWE Great Balls of Fire for most of the evening on WWE Network.

i did do a little writing last night. i ended up writing 5 poems. i really like a few of them. i probably should get some poems together for the next round of submissions.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.
