an odd evening

last night was one of those nights where the swing of emotions was just fucking brutal.

the New York Yankees didn't get much offense yesterday other than from Didi Gregorious. he drove in 3 runs and the rest of the team didn't do shit. they lost 4-3. they will get a chance to win the series this afternoon. sadly, Boston got a dramatic win last night, so they are back in first place in the division.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. i think i am still in shock that Shinsuke Nakamura beat John Cena clean last night. it would be amazing to see Shinsuke win the title at SummerSlam.

205 Live last night was much better than the last few weeks.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Fear(less) with Tem Ferriss last night was excellent. the interview with Bill Burr was great.

The Jim Jefferies Show last night was fucking hilarious.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Lucha Underground and Snowfall. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

Manchester United plays this afternoon in Ireland. it's their last preseason friendly. hopefully they go out with a victory.

at some point today i suppose i should work in a shave and shower.

i might check out some of the MLS All Star game tonight. they are playing against Real Madrid.

i'm still losing weight, which i am happy about. i imagine i would lose more if i actually tried. apathy keeps that from happening.

i see that Sam Miller fights the same way he plays basketball.

that's all for me kids. hope everyone enjoys their hump day.

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...

let's start fresh

i started off August with 3 poems this morning. of course, 2 of them are about suicide, but i am happy that the words are really flowing these days. i'm hoping to have my next round of submissions ready by the end of this week.

i got a copy of Damned Dirty and Dangerous in the mail today. it's a book of poetry from Ben John Smith and John D Robinson. two words my friends, FUCKING BRILLIANT. i highly recommend checking it out. here's a few links for more info:

the New York Yankees won last night 7-3 over Detroit. they also won before the game when they made the Sonny Gray trade. i'm amazed that they have been able to rebuild the starting staff on the fly and be in first place on August 1st. they are clearly built for the now and for the future. they made two pretty big trades before the trade deadline and didn't give up any of their biggest prospects. that makes me even happier. hopefully the Yankees will win again tonight.

i thought Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night but could have been so much better.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch, Fear(less) with Tim Ferriss and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live on WWE Network sometime tonight.

i made a little trip to the bank today. nothing quite like starting off the month with a nice big deposit. they were surprisingly busy, so i didn't get to talk to my favorite teller.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

i need to get the trash picked up here and next door, so that's all for me kids.

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...

laundry day

just put my last load of laundry in the dryer, so i'm going to try to bust this out before the clothes are done.

i've spent most of today listening to my mother bitch at the television. why she watches political shit these days is beyond me. my hope is they fully repeal Obamacare. that way, most of the people that will lose their healthcare will be Trump supporters. that should be their reward for electing that piece of shit President. if you want to fix healthcare in this country, it's pretty easy. cut out the insurance companies completely and start from scratch. but, since the rich don't want the poor to have any chance to be successful in this country, that will never happen. so, one side of the country thinks of healthcare as a right and the other side thinks of it as a commodity. until that divide is solved, welcome to the clusterfuck.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i do love the direction they are going in for SummerSlam.

Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy was really good last night. it is really hard to believe it has been twenty years since her death.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show and Fear(less) with Tim Ferriss. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees start a short 2 game series tonight at home against the Reds. hopefully they can get on a roll and start winning some games. they are amazingly, only 2 games out in the division.

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

the New York Rangers signed their last remaining restricted free agent today to a 5 year 26.75 million dollar contract. it's a good deal for the team and a good deal for Mika Zibanejad. plus, the team still has 3 million left under the salary cap. that gives them plenty of wiggle room for trades during the season.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow.

i have trash to go pickup and clothes to fold shortly, so that's all for me kids.

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