nothing like eating breakfast at 1 in the afternoon...

 i had a very long night last night. between all the shows, the dishes and my arthritis, i thought i would never get done. but, at least i got to bed by 6 this morning. joy. i woke up a few times but finally got up at 11. talk about a day feeling like it has already been wasted.

i did watch plenty of NFL games yesterday.

the Yankees lost yesterday at the Pirates, 3-2. they are off today and start a series at home tomorrow night against Toronto.

Big Brother was good last night.

the season finale of Heels was excellent last night. i really hope there will be a season 3.

Billions was great last night.

what is happiness...

 my mother asked me last night if i was happy. the first thing that came out of my mouth was about as much as i am allowed. this of course started a discussion that i didn't feel like having in the middle of a college football game. given my upbringing and all the shit that came with that, happiness is a relative term. i have ever truly been happy? probably not. do i believe happiness exists? i'm sure it does. she then asked why i'm not happy. and i basically told her, any time i got to a point where i should be happy, something or someone made damn sure to bring me back down. and my most obvious example of this was the first time i ever got paid for something i wrote. the first thing my mother asked me was if i had to use my real name? that infuriated me and still does to this very day. she wasn't happy or proud or anything like that, she was more concerned on what could possibly happen to her professional career if someone connected the dots. and people wonder why i'm fucked in the head. good times.

Ohio State whipped Western Kentucky yesterday, 63-10. that's more like it. they play at Notre Dame next week.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i need to get some bloodwork done before i have my next doctor's appointment on Friday. 

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

never forget...

 

today is one of those days that is so tattooed on my brain that i never want to live it again but i also can't help but remember damn near everything about it. 

yesterday was one of the crazier baseball games i have ever seen. the Yankees were being no hit for over 10 innings. the game was still 0-0 against the Brewers. the Brewers finally took the lead in extra innings but the Yankees finally got a hit in the 11th and tied the game. the Brewers took the lead in the 12th and the Yankees tied it again. finally, the Yankees won the game in the 13th inning, 4-3. but it wasn't all happy as the Yankees revealed that The Martian has a torn UCL and needs Tommy John surgery. fuck me. they start a series tonight in Boston.

the New Orleans Saints won yesterday at home over the Titans, 16-15. it was kind off odd not having Sunday Ticket anymore. but, i'm sure i will get used to just following the Saints on my phone.

i made a little money last night on the games, thanks to the New York Giants for laying an egg against the Cowboys.

i totally forgot that The Masked Singer was on last night.

Big Brother was good last night.

Heels was really good last night. the season finale is next week.

Billions was great last night.

The Chi was very good last night.

Power Book IV: Force was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw. i'll be watching the Jets vs. Bills game for most of the night i imagine.

the gambler's christmas day...

 i always have thought of the first Sunday of the NFL season as the day all the gamblers start licking their lips and scheming how to make some money. being one of those degenerates now, i like think i have a good plan and i won't get too greedy. of course, if i win a couple hundred dollars today, all bets are off. hell, i don't bet enough to win a couple hundred dollars on any day. honestly, any day i win more than i bet is a good one. those days don't come around much.

Ohio State defeated Youngstown State yesterday, 35-7. i think the QB job should be settled now. and it was nice to see Marvin Harrison Jr. go off once again.

the USMNT defeated Uzbekistan yesterday 3-0. the 2 late goals make the score look way better than what it really was. this looked like what they have always looked like under Gregg Berhalter. just good enough to beat shit teams and never good enough to beat anyone good.

the Yankees lost to the Brewers yesterday, 9-2. they will try to avoid the sweep this afternoon. at least the Old Timer's Day events brought back some good memories.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.

AEW Collision was excellent last night.

 hopefully, you have been relaxing by a pool or enjoying a cookout or something better than doing your laundry and sending out poems. i wanted to get my laundry done yesterday but my back wasn't having it. so, i took a shower last night, got some sleep and got after it today. my last load is in the washer. good times.

the Yankees swept the Astros last night for the first time in a decade. they won 6-1. they are off tonight and start a series at home against Detroit tomorrow.

i did catch a little of the LSU and Florida State game last night.

well, i woke up late...

 i wanted to have the blog done today before Manchester United played this morning, but i didn't get to bed until 5 AM. and i guess i was so exhausted, i slept until almost 11. i didn't have breakfast until after noon. joy. 

Manchester United lost at Arsenal today, 3-1. i didn't watch any of the game. the international break is on for the next two weeks. i am pissed with the reports that the Glazers have decided not to sell Manchester United now. i hope they love non-stop protests. i can just imagine the living hell the next two years are going to be.

the Yankees won last night at Houston, 5-4. they go for the sweep tonight.

Ohio State defeated Indiana yesterday, 23-3. talk about a game that was bowling shoe ugly to watch. i'm not sure Ohio State has a QB that is even close to what they have had the last few years. they play Youngstown State next week at home. if that game is as ugly as the Indiana one was, it is going to be a long ass season.

i did watch a few college football games yesterday. Purdue screwed up my 10 game parlay. i went 9-1.

WWE Payback last night was excellent.

AEW Collision was good last night. it started off with the news that AEW fired CM Punk yesterday. a bit awkward since the show was in Chicago.

the ghosts are back in the machine...

 so, the fan on the computer has been running non-stop again. i did all the troubleshooting i could find on google on what to do. hell, i even fucking cleaned. so, i'm guessing i will be selling an organ to afford a new computer. good times.

that has taken up most of my day. i thought the company looking to do our kitchen was supposed to be here at 3. well, it turns out, we were supposed to go to them at 3. so, that will be the drive tomorrow afternoon. 26 miles away. that should be fun given how mom hates to ride in the Highlander for long distances anymore.

the Yankees lost yesterday at Tampa, 7-4. they start a series tonight at Detroit.

the New Orleans Saints lost last night at home to the Texans, 17-13. they have until tomorrow to cut their roster to 53. that should be interesting to see who the final cuts will be.

if i can get the fan to stop running all the damn time, i might be on here in the morning to get the blog done before i have to drive mom out to the contractor's office. if not, the blog will be another late one.

i wrote two poems today waiting for all the diagnostic tests to get done on the computer. i'll type those up when i get done with this.

the AC is working again...

 the company that does our heating and air came out last night to diagnose what was going on with the air conditioner. thankfully, it was the capacitor that stopped working. they replaced that and it started working like it should again. $300 well spent. 

i actually got some decent sleep last night since my bed was ice cold. 

the Yankees lost yesterday at Tampa, 3-0. they are currently winning today, though i won't be surprised if they find a way to lose again.

i did watch plenty of the MLS last night.

i also watched a little of the college football games yesterday.

AEW Collision was very good last night. i did catch the zero hour of their big show today in London at Wembley Stadium. looks like it should be a memorable event.

i'm sure i might watch some golf today and some soccer. the New Orleans Saints play tonight at home against the Houston Texans. final pre-season game before the regular starts on September 10th.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the company hoping to renovate our kitchen stops by to give their estimate.

i did make it to Menards yesterday. managed to get everything on the list and spend under $100.

the Yankees lost yesterday 6-5 at home to Boston and got swept for the second straight series. they have lost 8 straight games, which is their longest losing streak since 1995. thank god they are off tonight.

the New Orleans Saints won last night at the Chargers, 22-17.

deep breaths...

 yesterday was one of those days where counting to ten didn't do the trick. neither did a few deep breaths. but, i made it to today. yeah for me. (and yes, i said that with a dripping sarcasm)

the Yankees lost yesterday to Boston, 8-1. they will hopefully not get swept today for the second straight series, but i won't be holding my breath.

Manchester United lost 2-0 at Tottenham yesterday. if yesterday proved anything, they really need to get some more players in the transfer market. 

i did watch both Leagues Cup games last night. Philadelphia defeated Monterrey 3-0 to win 3rd place. Inter Miami won the Leagues Cup, defeating Nashville in a penalty shootout, 1-1 (10-9). Messi scored again, big shock.

i did get a text from Rite Aid yesterday saying my prescription was ready. by the time i made it to the store, the pharmacy was closed. so, i went there earlier today and got it. fun.

i didn't make it to Menards yesterday. so, as soon as i get this done, i'll be going there.
