you ever notice your left hand trembling...

 i love when i get ready to start typing and don't know exactly what i'm going to put down and my left index finger starts to tremble a bit... i always wonder if that is just anxious energy or my little precursor to Parkinson's. good times.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Seattle, 2-0. they left a small village on base and lost Gleyber Torres to a sprained thumb. sure, why not add another fucking player to the injured list. they play tonight at the Royals. they need to start another winning streak as the Blue Jays are right behind them now. thank god Boston is choking their season away.

Big Brother was good last night.

The White Lotus was excellent last night. next week is the series finale.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was good last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i listened to episode 355 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

i also checked out some of the NBA Summer League games today.

the New York Rangers gave a really nice extension to Igor Shesterkin today. hopefully, he will help bring them a cup in this deal.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

mom has her physical therapist coming tomorrow morning and then we go to her new podiatrist in the afternoon. i know anytime she has two appointments in a day she will be worthless the rest of the night and the next day. plus, with the humidity being crazy this week, her Meniere's disease will truly be fucking with her. this is going to be one of those weeks from hell.

so, i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

stay socially distant.

mi paciencia no está envejeciendo bien

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...

running on fumes

i didn't sleep worth a shit last night. i might have got a good 90 minutes of good sleep. i was up every 45 minutes or so after 4 AM. good times. the rain that was supposed to come yesterday came today. and it came with flash flood warnings, hail, 60 mph winds. i don't get as excited for storms here as i did on the farm. this house sits cockeyed on a odd shaped lot to begin with. and i have no porch where i could sit there and watch the storms while breathing in the air. more or less now all i do is wonder if the internet is going to out or not.

i heard back from Carcinogenic Poetry today on the poems i sent last month. they have decided to pass. i also sent a query to Oddball Magazine on the poems i sent two months ago. so far, i'm sitting on 20 some poems that are begging to be sent out. so, if all goes well this week, i am planning on getting some submissions out there.

the New York Yankees won yesterday 8-6. it was so good to see one of the kids do well:

that was the reason so many of us Yankees fans wanted Refsnyder up here from the start of the season. it's very nice that they will start the second half of the season in first place. that hasn't happened in a few years.

i don't know if the weather will allow the MLB home run hitting contest to happen tonight or not. we're supposed to have another line of storms come through in the early evening. i live about 70 miles north of where the All-Star game is happening this year.

enjoy some music kids:

Big Brother was pretty funny last night. True Detective was good and then the shootout happened. that made the episode great. Ballers was pretty funny. The Brink was good. The Strain was fucking great. this season looks like it is going to blow my mind once again. Ray Donovan was pretty good. Masters of Sex was really good. and finally, Last Week Tonight was awesome as usual:

i saw today that Manchester United was busy once again. i love that they have completely rebuilt their midfield in a span of about 30 hours. the combination of Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin should be dynamic. and just look who they are bringing on the tour to the USA:

i would love to see them in Chicago but i know that won't happen. at least i believe all their games over here will be on television.

it's artsy fartsy time kids. please enjoy one of the most amazing artists i have ever seen on YouTube:

if the weather doesn't fuck up the satellite feeds too bad tonight, i'll spend most of the night flipping between Monday Night Raw and the USA vs. Panama Gold Cup game. i expect team USA to take some chances tonight as they have already won the group. i guess most of the regulars will rest and the kids will play this one.

i got some FREE music today on NoiseTrade. i'll provide the link below in the music section.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. my back is telling me that i'm done for the day. so, until tomorrow 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...

amazingly, i made it through last night without going completely insane. i was able to watch just about everything i wanted to last night. sadly, the sitcoms after The Voice had to be sacrificed last night. i need a damn DVR. anywho, here's my thoughts:

The Voice - was a little shocked at the final 3 as i thought Tess should have already been saved. thankfully, she did make it to the final 10.

Deadliest Catch - this looks like a really great season to watch. didn't even think how the government shutdown would affect them. should be a crazy, intense ride.

the New York Yankees beat the shit out of the Red Sox last night 9-3. i'm convinced that Tanaka is the second coming of (name your favorite pitcher of all time here). hopefully they can keep it rolling tonight.

the New York Rangers played a complete, solid game last night and won 4-1. i love that they are frustrating the Flyers to the point where they are making stupid guarantees now for game 4. LOVE it. can't wait to watch them lose again. game 4 is on Friday.

tonight will be a little baseball, some playoff hockey, hopefully sneak in Legit and Ali G. and then some late night tv.

i watched The Tonight Show last night and was pleasantly thrilled with Rita Ora. not my type of music per se, but DAMN, i do believe i have found my new dream woman. that should spice up my nights and hopefully get me out of the high school remembrances of nightmares.

that's all for me kids. be well. be creative. be the change that the fucker down the street refuses to believe in. and then shit that change out on his front porch.

peace and chicken grease my enemies...
