hot enough for ya...

 when i went out to get the mail today, as soon as i went out of the garage i could tell it was fucking hot as hell. i went back inside, put some ice on my back and went to sleep. i actually got a couple of hours. that was very needed.

the Yankees won yesterday at home against Colorado, 10-3. they start a series tonight at the Nationals. 

Big Brother was good last night.

Industry was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Name That Tune and Monday Night Raw.

i did watch the Leagues Cup final last night between Columbus Crew and LAFC. i was very happy to see Columbus win.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

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.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Heels, Billions and The Chi.

i will hopefully be back home in time to watch a little MLS tonight, including the Hell is Real rivalry between Columbus and Cincinnati.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

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

 so, i'm not sure what i did or if i did anything to stop the fan from running on my computer, but around midnight last night it finally stopped. i was actually able to get some half decent sleep for a few hours.

the Yankees lost last night to Boston, 8-3. this weekend should be the nail in the Yankees coffin.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.

Manchester United plays at Tottenham this afternoon.

i might try to go to Menards later this afternoon. and i am hoping Rite Aid will text me saying that my prescription is finally ready.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

been a busy day...

 today has been a busy one. between the trash, grocery shopping, going to the bank, humidity coming back like a motherfucker, school buses all around, etc... it was one of those days where i know i could easily just become an alcoholic and say goodbye to it all. what a thought...

i spent over $200 on groceries today and i somehow saved over $42.  

the Yankees lost last night at Atlanta, 5-0. they will hopefully avoid getting swept tonight. they are currently 60-60 on the season. this is their worst record at this point of a season since 1995.

NXT was very good last night.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

i did catch some of the Leagues Cup last night. Inter Miami defeated Philadelphia 4-1 and Nashville defeated Monterrey 2-0. 

and i did catch some of the highlights to the Women's World Cup. the final will be Spain vs. England. i did see that the USWNT's coach resigned today. i am very interested to see who gets that job next.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i need to go make dinner.

feels like fall almost...

 i was able to actually turn off the AC today and open up the house. other than a little rain, it felt nice to have some air moving through the house today. we got 1.75 inches of rain last night. that was a fresh slice of hell for my arthritis. good times.

Manchester United won 1-0 yesterday at home against Wolves. honestly, Wolves probably should have won the game. they outplayed United the entire game. United got away with a foul late that should have given Wolves a penalty. United needs to improve their midfield desperately if they actually want to win some shit this season. 

the Yankees got their asses handed to them last night in Atlanta, losing 11-3. i doubt much changes when they play tonight.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, Don't Forget the Lyrics and Hard Knocks.

the Leagues Cup semifinals are tonight. Inter Miami plays at Philadelphia and Monterrey plays at Nashville. i will probably check out some of the games tonight.

it is becoming a struggle...

 so, i wrote 2 more poems last night. i really wanted to write more, but those 2 poems took me nearly 2 hours to come up with. the beauty of writing through writer's block is wading through the endless amounts of shit that hopefully never reach the page. fun times. hopefully, i'll bang a few more out tonight.

the Yankees won last night at Miami, 9-4. they play again this afternoon.

i did watch some of the Leagues Cup last night. i would have had 4 wins if LAFC wouldn't have pissed away a 2 goal lead in the 3-2 loss to Monterrey. Inter Miami will play Philadelphia and Monterrey will play Nashville in the semifinals.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.

i'll probably watch some soccer today, maybe some baseball, hell, maybe some golf to get some sleep.

i didn't get to bed until 5 AM this morning. i was back up at 10 AM. joy.

we might get some storms later today. if that happens, i know what i will be writing about.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. 

i should be on here in the late morning tomorrow.

i finally wrote some new poems...

 i squeezed enough water out of the rock last night to get three really good poems. i'm hoping that is a sign of good things to come.

Big Brother was good last night. Kirsten was evicted 13-0. i believe Hisam is the new HOH.

What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.

NJPW was excellent last night.

i did catch some of the Women's World Cup last night.

i did watch some of the Premier League today. Manchester United doesn't play until Monday.

the Yankees play tonight at Miami. i doubt i will watch any of the game.

the Leagues Cup is back on tonight. i will probably check out some of that.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. i'd like to get back into that routine since i watch a ton of soccer from Europe this time of year.

with any luck, i will write some more poems tonight and then have some submissions ready for early next week.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

this one hits a little harder...

 so, i was sitting in my massage chair watching tv this afternoon and an alert came on my phone. i did a double take and said oh fuck. and then the alerts came one after another. music has been a constant companion to me my entire life. and i love that i have been exposed to so many different kinds of music and to so many different kinds of musicians. but, when my life took a bend toward poetry being my main thing, i tended to really listen to singer songwriters and folk bands, etc. and the one group that really caught my ear was The Band. Robbie Robertson died today at the age of 80. fucking prostate cancer. those songs from The Band stoked my creativity as much as anything in my entire life. this one hits a little harder than i was expecting. thanks for all the damn memories Robbie. 

i'll be writing the rest of this through tears, so if i start to ramble or not make any fucking sense...

the Yankees won last night at the White Sox, 7-1. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

NXT was excellent last night.

the season finale of Dark Side of the Ring was crazy last night.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Houston, 9-7. they start a series tonight at the White Sox.

i did catch the highlights from the Leagues Cup game last night.

Manchester United and Athletic Bilbao finished 1-1 yesterday. i'm really hoping United can sell some players off before the season starts and get a few more signings done. as usual, the fucking owners drag their fucking feet with everything, including selling the fucking team.

Big Brother was good last night.

they only have themselves to blame...

 so, i got up this morning to watch the USWNT take on Sweden. wouldn't it figure, the women play their best game of the tournament by a fucking mile and lose on penalty kicks, 5-4. honestly, Sweden's goalie was amazing during the 0-0 120 minutes. what pissed me off the most was the USA missed 3 penalty kicks. and not miss because the goalie made a save, i mean miss because you either missed the fucking net completely or put it off the post trying to be too cute. so fucking frustrating to watch. and the true punch to the dick was the winning kick for Sweden went over the line by maybe a fucking millimeter. 

the Yankees won yesterday at home over Houston, 3-1. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

WWE SummerSlam was excellent last night.

AEW Collision was really good last night.

the Yankees lost last night at home against Houston, 7-3. hopefully, they will win this afternoon.

and today will also be laundry day. i know when i start running low on clean underwear, it is time.

considering the USWNT plays at 5 in the morning tomorrow, i will probably be on here after that game.
