Good evening, how are you? I’m personally ecstatic: enjoying the summer breeze from my new rental. It sure is nice having a view that does not include two residential ruins just asking to be condemned. Although I liked the way the afternoon sunlight caromed off the exposed rebar. And you would be surprised how effective rotting, bloated wood blocks light—any kind! Shoutout to the rats and roaches over there: it’s your turf, I was just interlopin’ all these years.
I’m just kidding. The neighbors were wonderful. Truth is, I loved that shithole.
Of course, sensible folks—i.e., strangers to these whereabouts—would advise to celebrate the good only, and that’s it. These rational, mythical creatures would elaborate that putting down folks or places is unnecessary to enjoy, say, a new relationship or body part. But when you are a sports fan… Psht. Putting someone else down is part of the joy!
Every sports discussion has a winner and, therefore, a loser. If stats are the measure, context is antagonized—and vice-versa. All favorable free agent signings are judged by their former employers, and what troglodytes (the wrong NFL kind) they are. For sports fans,, it’s not enough to celebrate victories. Someone else has to suffer.
Sports fans have a natural affinity for the hate-listen, indulge in hate-reads from rival teams, and are virtuosic purveyors of hate clicks. Bleakness is the skin of a sportsfan, so I’m confident that last Friday will not break anyone’s will. Yeah, opening up the oil reserves would be fine. I would settle for opening the bile reserves.

GRANDES LIGAS
Atléticos (Blackburn) @ Y*nk*s (Montgomery) – 6:05
Piratas (Yajure) @ Nacionales (Fedde) – 6:05
¡Dato divertido! Nacionales was the name taken by the military Fascists in Spain back in 1936 for the Spanish Civil War. The Nationals were the Franco boys, whose greatest hits were Federico García Lorca and the town of Guernica (ft. La Luftwaffe). SCOTUS doth honor the ballclub’s name.
Medias Rojas (Seabold) @ Azulejos (Gausman) – 6:07ish

TOP FLIGHT FÚTBOL
Argentina
Atlético Tucumán hosts Godoy Cruz Antonio Tomba – 7 PM
Paraguay
Tacuary hosts Sol de América – 7:15 PM
Per Wiki P, Sol de América is one of the mainstays of the Paraguayan top division. In English it’s “Sun of America”, which sounds more like a casualty insurer or bond company.
BTW, here are my most interesting bonds ranking:
6. Performance
5. Barry
4. Payment
3. James (Connery + Craig)
2. Bobby
1. Bastardy
Didn’t say better, but more interesting bonds. And now that the XVIIIth Century is HAWT again in the Free World, hells yeah bastardy bonds. North Carolina Bastardy Bonds is a book available on Amazon for $39.00—or! You could read it here. If clicking on the last link, note the last sentence of the first paragraph: “It is asked that in reading this material, the reader do so with love and understanding of the problems of these men and women”. That kind of understanding would have been too much for six current Supreme Court Justices.
FINALLY,
protest. Be heard. Resignation and complacency is their path to power. Maybe it’s a me-situation, but I’ve never met anyone who thinks “You know, I should have been more heeled and courteous”. Diplomats can get fucked.
