amazing what a little liquor can do

so i finally got my ankle to crack last night (think of like cracking a knuckle on your hand), only to have the pressure build right back up. not fun. it was supposed to rain today. so far, nothing. great.

the New York Yankees did something they haven't done all season last night, actually sweep a 3 game series. a 2-0 victory over the Blue Jays was exactly what they needed. they are now just 2.5 out of the wild card and amazingly, just 4 out of the division. they start a 4 game series with Tampa tonight at home. they need to keep winning.

NXT was pretty good last night. i'll never get tired of watching Nakamura wrestle. and oh, what my mind imagines when Ember Moon wrestles.

the CWC last night was excellent. the final 4 is now set for the live finale next week. Gran Metalik vs. Zack Sabre Jr. and TJ Perkins vs. Kota Ibushi. should be amazing.

Lucha Underground was great last night. i love how the show mixes in the vignettes with the wrestling. season 3 should be as good as the first 2 seasons were.

the season finale of Tyrant last night had a little bit of everything. i knew the son was going to get shot, but i didn't expect the cliffhanger. and, i suppose, there has to be a season 4 given that the war never actually started in the finale. but, i also expected another season of The Bridge and that never happened, so i don't know.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i was stunned that Corey won the POV so quickly. my best guess is that Natalie gets evicted tonight, much to the heartbreak of the producers and most of America.

Any Given Wednesday last night was basically the primer for the NFL season starting tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Better Things and Impact Wrestling. i guess they are doing another crazy Hardy Boys match, so i'm only recording it for that.

the NFL season does start tonight with Denver hosting Carolina, a rematch of the last Super Bowl. i don't have any players from those teams on my fantasy teams, so i probably won't watch much of the game.

i did write 4 poems today to go with the 1 i wrote yesterday. i typed all 5 up this afternoon and really liked them. i should be doing another round of submissions in about a week or so.

i listened to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling podcast today. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2016/9/8/wrestling-podcast-98-edge

and finally, a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my sister today. as i told her in an email this morning... don't drink too much and don't get anyone pregnant.

that's all for me today kids. have a good one.

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...

one of those days

you ever have one of those days where it feels like you're shitting out blood all day long? where the faces at the grocery store all look like aliens? except for the little girl that waved at you, she obviously hasn't learned yet. maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the pressure building up in my left ankle, maybe it's this dumpster fire election season that's finally getting to me. who knows.

first off, a little poetry news. i did write 1 poem today. i haven't typed it up yet, mostly hoping i write some more tonight. i also heard back on my poetry submission to Easy Street. they decided to pass on the 5 poems i sent. good times.

the New York Yankees won their biggest game of the season last night, 7-6. they were facing one of the best pitchers in baseball and found a fucking way. a couple huge home runs and then the bullpen tried their hardest to fuck it all up, but thankfully, they didn't. a crazy fucking game. they go for the sweep tonight.

Smackdown was good last night. i'm a little shocked that they are doing the injury angle with American Alpha, but that should go into a great feud with the Uso's down the line. i am looking forward to the Smackdown ppv this Sunday.

Atlanta was excellent last night. as i heard one reviewer say, it's not often you find a "black" show with nuance. the first two episodes were great. i highly recommend everyone to check out this show on FX.

Hard Knocks was good last night. the cut down episode is always a rough one. i was a little surprised at a few of the cuts the Rams made.

the USA men's team was excellent last night in a 4-0 victory over Trinidad & Tobago. they won the group and will now face Mexico in November in the cold of Columbus, Ohio.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Tyrant, Any Given Wednesday, Lucha Underground and You're The Worst. i'll be watching NXT and CWC on WWE Network at some point tonight.

i went to the grocery store this afternoon. i figured it was better to go today than try to do it tomorrow in the rain. it was hot as fuck today, so i made sure to get home as quick as possible since i had frozen shit.

i also had to get what mom is giving my sister for her birthday tomorrow. and since i was in the liquor store to get that, i figured i might as well treat myself.

that's all for me kids. i'll be on here at some point tomorrow.

away goes the humidity and in comes the football

it felt so good when i went out to get the paper this morning. the air didn't stick to me as i walked. fucking refreshing.

the New York Yankees were down 4-0 last night and i figured, fuck, so much for this. amazingly, they clawed their way back to even the game and eventually won 5-4 in 13 innings. thank god rosters can expand now as i know that pitching staff is tired as hell. they are 2.5 games out of a playoff spot again. they are off tonight and start a series at Baltimore tomorrow. it should be a very interesting month.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i'll be stunned if Michelle isn't evicted tonight.

Tyrant was really good last night. the season finale looks like it is going to be crazy. You're The Worst was fucking hilarious last night. i absolutely love this show.

NXT was basically just a showcase for Shinsuke Nakamura. the CWC last night was really good. i was a little surprised Akira Tozawa lost. the match between Brian Kendrick and Kota Ibushi was excellent.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Fuck, That's Delicious and the season finale of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll. of course, Big Brother won't be on until 1 in the morning because of preseason football, so i'll be following on the internet to see what happens.

one more video for shits and giggles:

i highly recommend listening to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. the interview with Gallows and Anderson is fucking hilarious. you can find it by going here:

i will probably have to go to the grocery store after i take mom to the chiropractor as we're low on bread and milk, etc. i suppose i should take a shower before i venture out into public, so that's all for today kids.

i hope this new month finds everyone in a good place.

these are the days i look forward to death

so i was on the computer this morning and an instant message pops up from the last woman i was in love with. she always had an amazing way to make sure i knew everything was my fault and i would never be good enough for her. she went on today talking about how she lost all respect for me because of something i said in an argument we had... fuck it had to be months or damn near a year ago. having learned my lesson, i said i'm sorry and changed the subject. but, as you can imagine, i've spent the day writing and wondering why the fuck do i have this life.

these are the days where i feel like it's inevitable i will die alone one day. stacks of books and poems and music all around me. my luck, none of my future drug addictions will kill me, it will simply be father time. an old bitter soul. of course, the way this country is going, eventually everyone is going to be required to have a gun, so i guess there's always hope.

i wrote 3 poems and typed them up this afternoon. i really like them. i also found a new place to send work to. that will probably happen either really late tonight or sometime before the damn weekend.

my first fantasy football draft went ok. i got a decent quarterback and some good wide receivers, so that should be a good base for the team this season. of course, if Drew Brees has a shitty season, i'm fucked.

i thought Smackdown was pretty good last night. their upcoming ppv looks like it is going to be a good one.

Hard Knocks was pretty damn funny last night. between the spelling bee and the one fucker not believing in dinosaurs, every cliche about football players is fucking true.

the New York Yankees won a wild ass game last night, 5-4 in 10 innings. the Yankees left a small village on base and went a ridiculous 2 for 16 with runners in scoring position. somehow, two shakier than shit relievers got out of a bases loaded jam in the bottom of the 10th to win the game. hopefully they can get the series win tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Tyrant and the return of You're The Worst. i'll watch NXT and CWC on WWE Network at some point tonight.

we had some heavy rain come through here today, which didn't exactly brighten my mood.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade late last night from the very underrated Nicole Atkins. i'll post the links down in the music section.

i've spent most of the day trying to get used to the new Google+. i'm not a fan so far.

check out Janne Karlsson's new blog here: http://nouw.com/svenskapache

i'm so happy i can call this great artist a friend.

hard to believe this damn month is over basically. i know the weather is supposed to be good here for the weekend. i'll believe that when i see it, especially since it's a holiday weekend.

i'll probably be on here early tomorrow, before i have to take mom to the chiropractor.

another long day

i knew i wanted to get the grocery shopping done before the storms come tonight. but, i had no clue mom was going to hand me a scroll of items to go get. amazingly, i did manage to keep it under $100 (thanks to some coupons). i didn't take much time to enjoy the scenery today at the store. it's too damn hot and humid today. i wouldn't be shocked if we don't have some strong storms tonight.

the New York Yankees won yesterday 5-0 over Seattle. a great outing from Tanaka and Gary Sanchez went deep again. he even got walked intentionally twice later in the game. looks like someone is going to be a star. the Yankees are off today and start a series at home against Baltimore tomorrow.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i think Victor will get voted out tonight and then either him or Paulie will walk right back into the house when the jury come back competition happens tonight. it should be interesting.

Tyrant was great last night. the old adage is always true: absolute power always corrupts.

NXT was mostly some highlights from Takeover Brooklyn II and the two dark matches before the event. it will be interesting to see what happens in the coming weeks.

the CWC was spectacular last night. all 3 matches were great. they are now down to the final 8. i don't think there will be a less than fucking awesome match from here on out. Tozawa vs. Gran Metalik, Zack Sabre Jr. vs. Noam Dar, Brian Kendrick vs. Kota Ibushi and TJ Perkins vs. Rich Swann. 4 amazing matches. i can't wait.

well, i got my fantasy football shit all lined up this morning. i even got some early fantasy hockey shit going.

the birthday gift i got my sister should be here in the next couple of days. i think she's going to like it.

i saw this today and thought it was rather appropriate:

i saw the New York Rangers made a very smart depth move today, signing Brandon Pirri. yet another guy with something to prove with plenty of speed. that's one thing they shouldn't lack this season, if they stay healthy. they have speed on every line now.

that's all for me kids. i really need to take a shower. i've been up since before 7 this morning as mom had an early appointment at the chiropractor's office.

until we meet again.

oh great, more rain on the way

i was going to do my laundry today but my arthritis had different plans. great.

mom doesn't like to take pain pills. silly woman has lived 63 years and hasn't really done any drugs to expand her brain. so she doesn't like to feel "loopy". poor thing. she didn't take the pill last night and got 3 hours sleep and is now miserable. hindsight in action.

the New York Yankees got some great pitching from CC last night, amazingly, and won 5-1. they play this afternoon in Seattle. hopefully they win and get even closer in the wildcard chase.

Smackdown was great last night. i loved the Carmella heel turn. the match between AJ Styles and Dolph Ziggler was great. the post show tirade from The Miz completely going off on Daniel Bryan was BRILLIANT. all in all, maybe the best show that has been done since the brands split.

i did watch the Deadliest Catch update last night on Captain Sig's health since his heart attack. i'm so damn glad i gave up smoking when i did.

Hard Knocks was really good last night. i guess i really need to get my fantasy football shit together, the fucking season is going to start soon.

father time catches us all

i took my mother to the chiropractor today. she has some vertebrae that are fucked up and she needs her right hip replaced. her orthopedic doctor told her that a year ago, but she didn't want to believe him. so, there's a good chance i'll be going to basketball games alone for a few months. i have to take her back to the chiropractor on Saturday. thankfully, i won't be missing anything.

the New York Yankees lost again yesterday, 7-4. that ended what could have been a really good homestand. oh well. they are off today and start a series out in California tomorrow night.

team USA men's basketball team defeated Argentina yesterday 105-78. i didn't think the score was going to end up like that when Argentina was up 10 in the first quarter. thankfully, the coaches remembered that defense actually wins games. they next play Spain.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i'm pretty sure Paulie is going to get evicted tonight. i would watch, but it won't air here until 1:30 in the morning because of preseason football. i'll find it online somewhere.

Any Given Wednesday was pretty good last night.

NXT did a really good job of setting up the next Takeover coming up this Saturday. Samoa Joe vs. Nakamura should be amazing. the CWC last night was amazing once again. i think i could watch Akira Tozawa and Jack Gallagher wrestle each other forever and be entertained.

Tyrant was excellent last night. i do enjoy just how brutal the show is at times. i don't think you can do a show about politics in the Middle East and not have violence as a big part of the show. sad but true.

i suppose the sun will shine again...

i think i got almost 7 hours of sleep last night. and that was without the help of alcohol or pills. maybe i was due or maybe time is finally catching up with me. i'll probably figure it out by the time i die.

i was pretty happy when the Yankees were up 5-0 last night. then the rain delay happened and i started watching other things. i noticed the Yankees were up 6-0 and the next time i saw the score, the Yankees had lost 12-6. fuck me. how the fuck do you give up 8 runs in the 8th inning? talk about throwing away a game they needed to win. they play again this afternoon.

Smackdown was really good last night. once again, it's so much easier to write for 2 hours than 3. that is where Monday Night Raw falls short every damn week. i really enjoyed the Ziggler/Ambrose segment. that match should be excellent on Sunday. also, the Eva Marie excuses get better and better each week. brilliant.

Hard Knocks was pretty funny last night. i'm still amazed at the number of people that don't believe in certain shit and believe in other stupid shit. i suppose i can thank President Reagan for destroying the department of education in the 80's; look at all the stupid people we have since then. coincidence? i doubt it.

it's hard to believe it's been 2 years since Robin Williams died.

the New York Yankees got some hits last night and actually got them with runners on base. they defeated Boston 9-4. tonight will be A-Rod's last game in Boston. i'm sure they will take great pleasure in booing him.

team USA men's basketball team survived Australia yesterday, 98-88. hopefully it's a good wake up call for them.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i guess the house went crazy last night. hopefully this means Paulie is going to lose his shit on live television tonight during the double eviction.

Any Given Wednesday was really good last night.

NXT was good last night. i think the next Takeover in Brooklyn is going to be glorious.

CWC was absolutely amazing last night. the match between Kota Ibushi and Cedric Alexander was off the charts great. and then to see the crowd chant "Please Sign Cedric" after he lost was great. it only got better when they showed HHH coming out to hug him and walk him to the back. that certainly makes me think that he'll be showing up somewhere in WWE soon.

Tyrant was great once again last night. the reason i really love this show is just how real it feels.

it has absolutely poured here a couple of times today. the type of rain where you expect cats and dogs. the type of rain that usually makes me roll up in a ball and wish for death. but, today i decided to try to trick my brain. the satellite went out with the storms so i started to write. i figure if i could get my brain into poetry mode, the pain would be channeled into the poems. sure enough, 10 poems later, i was pleased. i typed them up this afternoon and i really like them. i think a few of them are really fucking good. i'm not sure when i'll be sending them out, but at least i have another fresh batch of work to choose from.

i thought Smackdown was pretty good last night. it certainly helps that the show is only 2 hours long.

Hard Knocks was pretty funny last night. it made me realize just how soon the NFL season will be starting back up. i guess i need to start thinking about fantasy drafts again.

the USA women's soccer team gave up a late goal to get a 2-2 draw yesterday against Colombia. they still won the group. they will next play Sweden.

i went with mom to get some banking done today. i know how much the heat fucks with her, so i like to go along as much as i can. after we got that done, we went to lunch. on the way home from there, she decided she wanted ice cream. the a/c in her car sucks, so this was going to be an interesting drive to get the ice cream home without melting. thankfully, i'm a skilled asshole driver. but between the heat, the grease of lunch and the ice cream, i'm ready for a damn nap.

the New York Yankees offense woke up last night and defeated the Mets 9-5. they'll go for the series win tonight at home. hopefully Gary Sanchez gets more at bats tonight. it was nice to see him get his first major league hit last night.

team USA women's soccer team won 2-0 yesterday. their toughest game of the group stage comes up on this weekend against France.

Any Given Wednesday was pretty interesting last night. i'm not a big fan of Caitlyn Jenner, but it was an interesting interview.

NXT was really good last night. it was nice to see Hideo Itami finally come back from injury and i can't wait to see what Bobby Roode does in NXT.

CWC was totally amazing last night. the match between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa was match of the year quality. i can't wait to see what the next round of the tournament brings.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. our satellite went out for some fucking reason during the middle of it. like all technology anymore, the first thing i fucking do is just reboot the damn thing. sure enough, 3 minutes later everything was working again. thankfully, i already knew what was going to happen on the show. it looks like Da'Vonne is going to get evicted tonight. unless she has the round ticket in her envelope, which would make for some great television tonight.

where does the time go...

i just watched the first half of the Wayne Rooney testimonial going on today between Manchester United and Everton. it's hard to believe that Wayne has been at United for 12 seasons now. i can remember the hat trick when he showed up. it almost seems like yesterday. of course, a couple seasons of not winning much will have any fan waxing poetic about the past. i think they finally have the right manager and this season will be completely different. hopefully starting Sunday in the Community Shield.

i sent out 10 poems today; 4 to Hobo Camp Review and 6 to Rose Red Review. when i hear back from these places, i'll pass along the verdicts.

the season finale of Deadliest Catch was amazing last night. to see just how bad Sig's heart attack was, you really realize just how lucky he is to be alive. plus, the talk between Wild Bill and his son hit really close to home. i think Bill said the words i always wanted to hear from my father; i'm sorry. i never did get to hear that. and now, i never will. hard to believe this was the 12th season of the show. i really think it's one of the best reality shows EVER.

Smackdown was pretty good last night. i believe everyone could see Brock Lesnar showing up and getting back at Randy Orton. it was so good to see American Alpha finally debut. they are one of the best tag teams in the world. push them to the moon. and i really enjoyed seeing a more intense Dolph Ziggler. and the flow of the show was much better than Raw. it certainly helps that Smackdown is only 2 hours long.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Tyrant and Any Given Wednesday. i'll be watching NXT and CWC on WWE Network sometime tonight.

the New York Yankees lost last night 7-1. they called up prospect Gary Sanchez for tonight's game. i was hoping they were going to release A-Rod to make room for him. instead they sent Ben Gamel back down to AAA. why the fuck is A-Rod still on the team if he isn't going to play. other than the Yankees just don't want to give him the money and release him, i can't think of any other fucking reason. just bite the damn bullet, release A-Rod and Tex and move the fuck on.

i think i might watch some of the women's soccer tonight going on at the Olympics in Rio. looking at some of the pictures from where the athletes are staying, i certainly understand why both USA basketball teams are staying on the cruise ship. talk about a clusterfuck.

that's all for me today kids. it's another draining day in August. the dog days are upon us.

apparently, my pain radius is around 100 miles or so

i tossed and turned all night long last night. i couldn't get my back into a comfortable position for most of it. my arthritis was killing me. i figured it had to be raining. when i finally got up, it wasn't raining at all. that rain was down in southern Ohio/northern Kentucky. so i'm guessing if i have to move somewhere so i don't feel the pain of rain coming and going, i'll be going to a desert somewhere. good times.

the New York Yankees pissed away a golden chance yesterday to gain ground in the playoff race by losing to Houston 4-1. in other words, they went back to reality. they are off tonight. they start a series in that dump in Tampa tomorrow.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i knew Michelle had won the VETO comp, but i was more impressed with how she did it. i'm pretty sure Frank will be evicted tonight, unless the producers decide to pull some bullshit.

Tyrant was excellent last night. the show is incredibly real at times, especially with the drone attacks and the deaths of children, etc. i was stunned by the end of the show, but i should have seen it coming.

NXT was great last night. i love that they have set up Samoa Joe vs. Nakamura for the next Takeover event in Brooklyn. dream match alert. plus, it was so cool to watch Ibushi make his NXT debut.

CWC was excellent last night as well. i really enjoyed watching Zack Sabre, Jr. wrestle. he is fucking amazing.

Any Given Wednesday was pretty funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

i will say one thing, the man can give a speech:

i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. it was a classic interview with Michael Cole, plus a recap from the world of wrestling. check it out by going here:

if i would have felt better today, i'm sure i would have at least started my laundry. i still have two toilets to clean. good times.

at least the fucking weekend is closer to being here.

i hope this finds everyone hoping that the political season would already be over.

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...

the joys of the local newspaper

when i saw the headline in the local newspaper today, i laughed my ass off. so, i guess next door to the farm where we used to live, some jackass wants to open a paintball facility. i told my mother thank fucking god she sold that when she did. and thank god i'm not living there anymore. one reason why i don't miss living in the sticks.

the New York Yankees won again last night, 6-3. that's 4 games over .500 now. they go for the sweep tonight down in Houston.

Smackdown Live last night was a bit disappointing, especially when you compare it to Monday Night Raw. they really didn't show off any of the people from NXT that were drafted. the only real surprise was Dolph Ziggler winning the main event to face Dean Ambrose at SummerSlam. i did get a little excited to see that Shelton Benjamin is coming back. maybe they put him with American Alpha and let pure wrestling magic happen.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night. i knew the ending that was coming, but that didn't make it any less dramatic.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Tyrant and Any Given Wednesday. i'll be watching NXT and CWC on WWE Network tonight as well.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade this morning. i'll provide the links below in the music section.

mom decided she wanted to get out of the house for a bit today, so we went out to lunch. nothing exciting to report, sadly.

i think tomorrow may be laundry day. of course, it's supposed to rain tomorrow as well. so i might as well throw in folding clothes to my fucking misery.

i hope everyone is doing good.

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

when the air starts to feel like hell

nothing quite like going out to get the morning paper and it feels like it's already 90 degrees outside. i believe the heatwave has started.

the New York Yankees won again last night, 5-0. 4 wins in a row. first time they have been 2 games over .500 since early April. i really hope this isn't causing the geniuses running the team to think they have a chance. they go for the series sweep this afternoon.

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. i believe Tiffany will be evicted tonight although i think the producers will try to make the viewers think someone else is going.

Tyrant was fucking amazing last night. they ended on the brutal murder of the president's daughter, so i really expect the show to go fucking nuts now.

Lucha Underground was great last night. it was the right way to end season 2. plenty of things that could get carried over to season 3 with some great wrestling to go along with it. plus, when you end the show with a man enjoying the blood of his former master and the owner going to prison, the possibilities of where it goes from there is limitless.

WWE NXT was really good last night. 3 great matches that served as a goodbye to some of the people that got drafted to Smackdown. plus, Bayley is simply amazing. she reminds of all the great babyfaces from the 80's.

the CWC last night was great. i really enjoyed seeing some wrestlers i haven't seen ever. plus, it was so good to see Tozawa wrestling in a WWE ring. this tournament is easily the best thing the WWE has done in years.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll.

hopefully the air conditioning keeps running today. i have some cleaning around the house to do and i don't want to be trying to clean in a fucking inferno.

i'll probably catch up on some podcasts today as well. and who knows, i might watch some baseball.

i hope this finds everyone keeping cool.

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