The shit part is all the parts that are turning white are growing back significantly slower than the rest of it.

Ye Olde Patches Jirobe over here.

Slowly turning into a wizard, step by step, day by day.

Weekend sports musings:

Can't respect Arsenal supporters by and large; the whiniest of all whiny whiners

Andre Onana isn't even a Championship-standard GK

I hope Spurs keep Big Ange forever; perfect for them

My Pittsburgh mornings are generally pretty sweet, but today it was extra sweet.

An AVFC hot takes from Ye Olde Jirobe:

Malen is not a Diaby replacement. I personally know many BVB supporters, they're confused as why Villa would want him exclusively. They used the words "frustrating", "inconsistent" & "inaccurate"

His stats back all of that up. Sure, he's rapid. That's it.

Six times today, I've gotten a notification that this person has followed me.

But no real notification when I bring up the app. Not among my followers list or a name I readily recognize.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what. Or is it a bot, which Bluesky is ensuring I don't interact with? 🤔

Me thinking it was a good idea to clean shave my face for the first time in 9 years, right before it gets bitter cold/windy.

What a dolt I can be.

Chittering teeth mixed with a Pittsburgh accent AND looking 18 years old has to be annoying, I've realized.

Apologies for the late notice but the Pittsburgh Lions will be at The Pitch On Butler for the Champions League match today against RB Leipzig.

Kickoff is at a very friendly 3PM, hope to see a few of yinz there!

As the proud founder of Aston Villa Supporters Club in Pittsburgh, wanted to extend an invite to any and all Villa fans in the area!

We meet at The Pitch On Butler in Lawrenceville/you can find our group across most socials.

830AM kickoff vs Chelsea, perfect pregame before Steelers kickoff!

I didn’t think they let sexy bastards onto this site. ♥️

@notfakejordan.bsky.social hello you handsome devil. 😊❤️

The audacity of life has allowed me to have a full day of work paid, while I sit at home and watch football.

It doesn't happen often, but when life is good...it sure is grand.

(I know I'm simple, don't judge me. 🤣)

Aston Villa's defense:

Yep, rarely spoke about it there but it killed my spirit enough to stop doing content altogether. Just wasn't worth the abuse!

Dêath threats because I'm American and wrote blogs/podcasted about Villa. Was told I'm not welcome at VP/Brum and that it would be "easy to make you disappear" if I ever stepped foot there.

It was happening multiple times a week for a few months when we got promoted. Stuck with me, tbh.

also Practice 1 in Vegas during a Steeler game is criminal and I cannot possibly point my attention properly to both

So do I break the bank for Morgan Rogers graded rookie cards I don't have yet or do I YET AGAIN have to try & practice being a responsible 36 year old.

Being a hobbyist is so exhausting. 🤣

#Pittsburgh after dark 🌃

I think this is my 8th Jacob Ramsey autograph that I own and this one was completely unexpected.

😳 #avfc

I feel like most true friends I have are working class stiffs; work their asses off to afford basic things & spend their days off of work physically and mentally recovering. No joy, no love, no money & less time. Week on week on week.

Something has to give at some point.

The Working Wounded.

Very odd feeling the past week or so at work. Like, there is something people want to talk about or get off their chests but are afraid of judgement or retaliation of some sort. Me, i just stay in my middle-class lane. I've got bills to pay and not much after that.

It's a sad reality, but true. 😔

Welcome mate! UTV

Pittsburgh has some of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. This is looking toward Munhall from around South Braddock in Rankin 20 or so minutes ago. #Pittsburgh #Art

Massive Steelers win against the Ravens. It was ugly, it was gritty, it was a perfect example of why it is the most heated rivalry in the National Football League.

There are no comparisons; a competitive dislike that goes far beyond what any of the other 30 teams can call a rivalry.

13 year old Marky is screaming.

Vintage stores will always have a little place in my soul.

Buckland's Museum Of Witchcraft & Magick in Cleveland is a really cool spot, full of very interesting artifacts and lore. So much history in one building, including a few trinkets from Cornwall, Liverpool and Birmingham.

Got lost in Cleveland and found Italian Nachos.

Italian.

Nachos.

I'm never going to be a skinny man. 😳🤣
