one of those days where you're stuck in neutral...

 the drought here is only getting worse. my back and pinched nerve and arthritis has had one of those days where i really could have used a bathtub of ice or a fucking morphine drip. jesus christ. but, the joy of a high pain tolerance is plowing through all the bullshit and getting shit done. yeah.

the Yankees won last night at home against Boston, 2-1, in 10 innings. Juan Soto had the walk off single. Baltimore didn't play last night, so the lead in the division is now 2 games. hopefully, the Yankees will win again tonight.

Big Brother was good last night. Quinn got evicted. Leah is the new HOH.

i did watch both episodes of The Old Man on Hulu today. they were really good. looks like it should be a great season 2.

Buffalo defeated Miami last night, 31-10. i didn't watch much of the game.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Inside the NFL and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.

i do need to go to Kroger tomorrow to pick up a prescription.

i did see some of the USMNT introducing their new coach today:

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow my friends...

not the sound you want to hear getting out of bed...

 so, i woke up this morning after a somewhat decent night of sleep and as soon as i started getting out of bed, i heard my back pop. my first thought was i guess the weed gummy has worn off. i do think that was the reason i slept well at least. so, for the last 10 hours or so, i have been stretching my back and icing and feeling like shit. joy.

the Yankees spilt their doubleheader yesterday at home against the Angels. they won game 1, 5-2. they lost game 2, 8-2. hopefully, they will win tonight.

Big Brother was really good last night. i have no clue who gets evicted tonight.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

some of the baseball cards i ordered showed up today. i got the first 2024 cards i have been able to order this year. i was hoping for some better rookies... the packs i got from Golden Lion Sports Cards were excellent. the Kirby Puckett rookie card was a nice shock.

i did catch some of the Olympics today. the USA men's basketball team had a huge comeback to defeat Serbia today, 95-91. they will play France for the gold medal.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Don't Forget the Lyrics and NJPW.

depending on how my back feels tomorrow, that will determine if i actually go to Menards like i need to or not.

so, i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i need to go make dinner, so that's all for me kids...

until we meet again...

is any death really shocking anymore?

 i have to admit, i did watch Friends in the 90's. of course, who didn't? i was saddened to see that Matthew Perry died yesterday. 54 years old is way too young. i know he had his problems with drugs over the years but i honestly thought he had made his way through that jungle to the other side. at the very least, Chandler Bing is one of the great TV characters of all time. he will always be remembered for that.

Ohio State won last night at Wisconsin, 24-10. 

i did watch a good number of college football games yesterday.

the New York Rangers won last night in Vancouver, 4-3, in OT.

AEW Collision was really good last night.

i might watch some of the MLS playoffs tonight. FC Cincinnati is playing.

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.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power Book IV: Force, Heels, Billions and The Chi.

i'm sure i will watch some of the LSU vs. Florida State game tonight.

i know i need to do my laundry today, so that is what i'm going to do next.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here on Labor Day.

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

welcome to spring...

 at least it fucking warmed up some today. and there was plenty of sunshine. 

i took mom to her new place where she is doing physical therapy. it has a pretty laid back vibe to it, which i think she likes. she's going to be going twice a week. the waiting room was decent. i wrote 3 poems while she had her session. i think all 3 are pretty good. after we got back home, i had to go to Kroger to get her prescriptions. 

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Nashville, 7-0. holy shit, that was a fun one to watch.

i did watch El Clasico yesterday. that game never disappoints.

Manchester United played poorly yesterday. thankfully, Fulham lost their minds after a hour of play and had 3 red cards issued in a just a couple of minutes. amazingly, all 3 of them were the right calls. United advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup, winning 3-1. they will play Brighton in the semi-finals.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

the season finale of Your Honor was excellent last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

i did really well gambling yesterday. i've been getting really lucky here lately with my hockey bets and most of my NBA bets.

i must have got just enough sun...

 i slept a little later than i wanted to this morning. i missed most of the first half of the Manchester United game. more on that later.

i did get most of what i was looking for yesterday at Menards. i've changed all the birdfeeders here to ones containing suet. so far, it seems like the birds have found the new ones i put up yesterday.

the Yankees won last night over the A's, 3-2. Aaron Judge hit his 49th home run of the season last night. that 3 run shot gave the Yankees all the runs they needed. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

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

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

so, i watched the second half of Manchester United at Southampton this morning. i wasn't thrilled with how United played. especially when Bruno scored to put United up 1-0. they basically went into a shell and defended the rest of the game. amazingly, they did win, 1-0. first road win in god knows when. i'll gladly take the 3 points. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

college football gets going today. i'm sure i will watch a few games today, as well as some soccer and baseball.

the Saints won last night at home over the Chargers, 27-10. the season starts for them on Sept. 11th at Atlanta.

i need to go to Rite Aid and the local grocery store today. mom needs a few things at Rite Aid and i need to get some stuff at the grocery store so this gravy i have won't go to waste.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning.

insert title here

 i've been having some weird dreams lately. mostly about death, depravity, rainbows and laughter. i'm not sure if they are coming from being sleep deprived or they are induced from the constant pain i am in. not that it really matters to me, it is all content for the poems anymore. 

the Yankees whipped Boston last night, 12-5. hopefully, they will beat them again tonight.

El Trafico never disappoints. LAFC 3 LA Galaxy 2.

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

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

the season finale of Pause with Sam Jay was great last night.

i did watch most of the NHL Draft. i liked what the Rangers did for the most part. trading their backup goalie to Colorado for 3 draft picks was a surprise. not that they traded him, but that they got that much back in return. they drafted a few centers, which the organization desperately needs. all in all, not bad.

i guess mom called in some more pills to Kroger. so, now i don't have to go until tomorrow afternoon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

i do plan on watching some MLS games today. other than that, maybe just catching up on some sleep or writing.

mom wanted Pizza Hut last night for some fucking reason. she wanted to try that Edge pizza. so, against my best judgement, i got it. stupid me. first off, Pizza Hut can't do thin crust worth a shit. the crust was awful. the stuff on top of the crust was fine. what truly pissed me off last night was the order took over 60 minutes to get here. now, if i would have been told that from the beginning, no problem. but, when i'm told 25 to 35 minutes and it takes twice as long, now i'm pissy. and since Pizza Hut acted like it was no big deal. looks like i won't be ordering from there anytime soon.

i think the rain has finally moved on. that should tame my arthritis for at least a few days.

i did open the baseball cards i got yesterday at Big Lots. the 4 packs of 2022 Topps Heritage i opened weren't good at all. i got a few rookies and one high number card. other than that, nothing special at all.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i should be on here tomorrow before i go to Kroger.

until then kids...

timing is everything...

 so, my goal today was to get the grocery shopping done before the storms got here today. when i got gas today ($50 fucking dollars worth) it started to rain. by the time i got out of Kroger, there was a tornado watch. thankfully, i made it home and  had the groceries put away by the time the tornado warning came about. there was a funnel cloud spotted right around where i would have been driving if i waited to do the shopping later. or as i jokingly put it to my mother, god has always had piss poor aim when trying to kill me.

the New York Rangers started off great last night. they were up 2-0 after the first period. the new guys looked good, etc. etc. then, they decided to get cute and try to play fancy and the Devils took full advantage of it. the lead quickly evaporated and the Rangers ended up losing, 7-4. hopefully, lesson learned. the KISS theory always fucking works.

Young Rock was pretty funny last night.

NXT was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, The Masked Singer and Snowfall.

i did get some baseball cards today from Rite Aid. i got 2 boxes and 2 packs, which cost me $27. thankfully, i got over $60 worth from everything. that made me a little happy today.

i should be on here early tomorrow. World Cup qualifying starts back up and the USA plays down in Mexico tomorrow night. so, i will be on edge for most of the day.

now, i'm hoping none of these fucking storms pop back up tonight.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

 i had the first few lines of a poem running through my head the last few days. i tried to go to sleep last night with my fan off. silly me. so, for the next hour i flushed the poem out more. i ended up writing it this morning. i love it. i will hopefully squeeze a few more out as i would love to send some more poems out before the month is over.

the Yankees won last night over Texas, 4-3. they are now 1/2 game out of a playoff spot. they play again tonight.

The Voice was great last night.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i did catch a little of the Packers win over the Lions last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, NXT and the season finale of Deadliest Catch.

i might watch some of the USWNT tonight. they play a friendly against Paraguay.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done and most likely, after Manchester United plays West Ham again, this time in the League Cup.

while tomorrow is supposed to be rainy once again, the weather is supposed to finally feel like fall. or how i like to call it, sweatpants weather. 

i need to pick up the trash, so that's all for me kids.
