the great melt...

you wouldn't know if had snowed here and we just had a week of fuck it's cold temps. there is only one spot on the farm that still has a little snow on it. i slept like shit last night, of course, it's not great sleeping weather when it's 50 degrees at 2 in the morning. not when you've got used to it being 20 or less at that time.

i did get everything i wanted to get done done yesterday. i'm paying for it today. my back is hurting like a motherfucker. i still have to pick up the trash and feed the cats today. needless to say, i'll be taking my sweet ass time.

Manchester United got a HUGE road win yesterday, beating Arsenal 2-1. first road win of the season. it also stops Arsenal's 23 game home unbeaten streak. i really hope this is the moment where this team starts to take off. given all the damn injuries, the sky is the limit if/when the others players come back healthy. the win yesterday put them back in the top 4. now, they need to finish there.

Ohio State got off to a great start yesterday and then struggled. struggled so much that they were trailing at one point. thankfully, they woke the fuck up to win 42-27. they play the school i fucking hate next week. if they win that game, the school i fucking hate won't qualify for a bowl game this year. i will be fucking jacked for that one. with the win yesterday, Ohio State has clinched a spot in the Big 10 title game.

i did type up the 4 poems yesterday. all 4 are good. i REALLY like 2 of them. i think i'm going to try to squeeze in another writing session this month and then send out some poems early next month.

i bounced between some college football and hockey last night. and then after a much needed shower, i settled in for Saturday Night Live and ROH. i thought SNL was pretty good in spots. this one skit had me fucking laughing my ass off:

and then this one:

the rest of the show was mostly hit and miss for me.

as for ROH, another excellent episode. the match between AJ Styles and Hanson was awesome.

the Saints don't play until Monday night, so i'll be basically bouncing between games today. mostly, just following my fantasy players most likely.

later today the Dayton Flyers take on Boston College in the 3rd place game down in Puerto Rico. that will basically go right into the New York Rangers taking on Montreal tonight. hopefully i'll be enjoying two victory beers later this evening.

tonight i'll be watching The Newsroom, Homeland, and The Affair. hopefully all three of those episodes will be good.

and then, hopefully some good sleep.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon. we're supposed to get some rain tonight and tomorrow. that should make the mud even more interesting.

hope everyone is having a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste some 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...

heavy on nostalgia

today is one of those days that you suddenly realize just how fucking old you are. and it's not that you had to vacuum the steps while your back was killing you. it's the fact that today starts the final home stand of Derek Jeter's career. and when you sit back and realize you've watched all 20 of his seasons, the joints start to ache and all you want to do is sit back in the chair and relive some championships.

the Yankees did win last night, 3-2. that was a nice victory beer, as they at least won the last game Jeter will play in that dump in Tampa. i saw this ad today and i have to admit, i did get tears. this will be tougher than i thought watching The Captain leave...

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i'm pretty sure that Caleb didn't see his eviction coming at all. it's pretty safe to say that the guys will be in the final 2 as Victoria hasn't won shit all summer.

The Bridge was excellent last night. the ending had me on the edge of my seat. i can't wait until next week.

tonight i'll be flipping between some baseball and football, both pro and college. at 10 i'll flip over to FX and watch the season finales of Married and You're the Worst.

on top of doing the stairs today, i also had dishes and toilets on the list. let's just say my back needs some ice.

i feel like i may have some words to get down on the page later tonight. i know when i start talking to myself and coming up with lines out of nowhere, something is coming.

i got 2 GREAT albums on NoiseTrade today for FREE. i highly recommend both of these. links will be in the music section.

the weather has been damn near perfect today. low 70's and hardly any humidity. i'd take it like this every damn day if i could.

that's all for me today. 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...
