odds and ends...

 i know i mentioned something the other day about wanting to redo my room. well, the problem is i actually measured, and what i wanted to do isn't going to work. so, back to the drawing board. yesterday was pretty crazy. i did get a poem written late last night. i was pretty happy about that.

the Yankees won yesterday at home against the Red Sox, 14-4. Ben Rice became the first Yankees rookie to hit 3 HR in the same game. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were crazy. England defeated Switzerland on penalty kicks, 5-3. Netherlands defeated Turkey, 2-1. so, in the semifinals, Spain will play France and England takes on Netherlands.

at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia crushed Panama, 5-0. Uruguay beat Brazil 4-2 on penalty kicks. so, in the semifinals, Canada plays Argentina and Colombia takes on Uruguay.

WWE Money in the Bank was really good last night.

AEW Collision was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Power Book II: Ghost.

i will be watching NXT Heatwave for most of the night on Peacock.

i know i need to vacuum the house today and feed the birds. i'm hoping it won't be really humid outside.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her podiatrist.

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

until tomorrow kids...

 i wanted to get the grocery shopping done before the England game this afternoon. i did have it done, but not soon enough to get the blog done before the game. so, this will be a shorter one than usual, which i imagine most of you don't mind.

the Yankees won last night out in Seattle, 12-1. hopefully this road trip wakes them the fuck up and they go on a long winning streak. either that or just start fucking losing and blow it all up.

here are your highlights from Game 1 of the NBA Finals last night:

at the Copa America last night, Argentina defeated Colombia on penalty kicks, 1-1 (3-2). that sets up Colombia vs. Peru in the 3rd place game and Argentina vs. Brazil for the championship.

at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Italy defeated Spain on penalty kicks, 1-1 (4-2). today, England and Denmark are scoreless in the 24th minute as i type this.

NXT was great last night.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.

Mr. Inbetween was amazing last night. the series finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW and Big Brother.

holy shit, Denmark is up on England, 1-0.

i'll probably watch some of Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final tonight.

the grocery stores were a bit crazy today. honestly, i think some people were just in there for the air conditioning. a big thank you to Kennedy at Kroger for opening up her lane for me. i must have had that i want the fuck out of here now look on my face.

i will be on here tomorrow between loads of laundry. 

now, Denmark and England are tied at 1.

if it is hotter than shit where you are, check on your elderly neighbors and see if they are still alive.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the shot.

esto debe ser como se siente el infierno

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

and here comes the rain

i actually got something resembling 6 hours of sleep last night. so, i'm somewhat refreshed. my apologies.

there's thunder in the air here, so i'm going to try to type fast.

the Yankees got off to a great start yesterday and then hung on for dear life, winning 9-7. they were up by 9 after 4 innings. they did take the series though. and made a good trade (at least i hope) and got rid of one of the useless old guys. hopefully more of that is on the way. they are up in Cleveland tonight.

i was so happy for Juan Pablo Montoya yesterday. i haven't been able to see him win often over the last decade or so. so the win at Pocono was very nice to see. he totally deserved it.

the tennis match was pretty good yesterday and i got a little nap watching some golf and soccer. not a bad lazy Sunday at all.

Big Brother made me laugh last night. not because of actual content but more creative editing by CBS. the show happens one way in reality and another in each episode. it's humorous how many people don't really know the difference.

The Leftovers was another weird mess last night. i'm still not sure if i really want to invest my time in it. next Sunday will be the true test with all the Showtime shows coming back on. i imagine if i remember to make an effort to find it next week...

also coming back this week is The Bridge. i can't wait for Wednesday.

no World Cup games today, so i'm going to try to get over to the used music store and sell off some music. hopefully make a little money.

i did compose a poem while i was sitting on the toilet this morning. i haven't typed it up, but i think it has all the makings of a classic.

well, i need to get out there and feed the cats before it really starts storming.

hope this finds everyone well. yes, i know it's Monday, get over it.

peace and chicken grease...
