so, mom actually decided to go to her physical therapy session today. that gave me a chance to write some poems. i did get five written. i think they are pretty good, especially since all of them came to me in a matter of twenty minutes. after that, she wanted something to drink. i went and got her a large diet coke. after i got her home, i needed to go to Rite Aid to get my prescriptions and to Big Lots to use this coupon i had. i was really happy that Rite Aid was able to fix the fuck up that Kroger did. and amazingly, the 3 prescriptions cost me $7. i was fucking thrilled at that. i got some baseball cards, some dipping sauces that mom wanted, and some bandages she needed, all at Big Lots. after my $5 coupon, that all cost me $13. not a bad fucking shopping day. the baseball cards were two 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter packs. one had a mini rare rookie card in it that is going for over $10 these days. that made me pretty happy.
Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Celebrity Big Brother and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.
i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.
i think the USA men's hockey team plays Canada tonight at the Winter Olympics. so, basically, i might get a few hours of sleep before i get up to watch United in the morning. add in all the Super Bowl shit this weekend and i might as well forget about getting any sleep.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
if you are gambling on the Super Bowl, best of luck to you.
if i had money to gamble, i would take the Bengals at +4. i would take the over and i would take tails for the coin toss. now, if anyone out there bets that and wins, feel free to send me a little something.
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 fucking shot.
tengo los nervios pellizcados en ambos brazos
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...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
as February winds down, i got my ass in gear today and got 49 poems out into the world. and i did it with my old mouse that i had been at war with. my new one died the other day and i was worried this old fucker was going to let me down. but, i went a little slower than usual and sure enough, not one fucking problem.
i sent 3 poems to Yellow Mama; 5 poems each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Ink Pantry and Live Nude Poems; 6 poems to Record Magazine; 10 poems each to Stanzaic Stylings and The Poetry Jukebox. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
mom's doctor's appointment went pretty good today. she was able to see her MRI and her CT Scan. everything in the scan looks fine. she will get checked again in a year to make sure nothing is going on. i think with her MRI she could clearly see why she has pain in her legs with all the discs that are out of place. she's got some serious nerve pain going on. i know exactly what she is dealing with. it fucking sucks.
the Dayton Flyers played an unbelievable first half last night at UMass. i think they shot like 80% from the field or something like that. even when they took the foot off the gas in the second half, they coasted to a victory. Dayton won last night 72-48. that's how you get your first victory in 15 years at a place. Dayton plays at home on Friday night against Rhode Island.
Smackdown was crazy last night. i hated that Vince took Kofi Kingston out of the title match against Daniel Bryan. but, when he put Kevin Owens in the match instead, i lost my shit. KO is one of my favorites of the last decade easily. i can't wait for Fastlane now. the whole show was great.
205 Live was really good last night as well.
The Voice was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, the season finale of The Masked Singer, You're the Worst and Drop the Mic. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was very good.
i didn't get to see the Manchester United game against Crystal Palace this afternoon. i tried to follow it online as i was sending out poems. i was a little worried about the game given all the injuries United has. silly me, Ole is at the wheel. United won 3-1.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Tampa Bay. it will be interesting to see how the Rangers play now after the trades.
the Yankees lost to Detroit today 10-4. probably a good thing i didn't watch that.
the woman sitting across from me in the waiting room today, while i was waiting for mom to come out from her mammogram, was a damn near identical match to a huge crush i had in high school. i kept playing it off that i wasn't blatantly staring at her. now, this woman had a different name (my hearing is way too good for public places sometimes) and is probably 20 years younger than the crush, but it was a nice blast from the past. i'm sure there will be poems in the next few days.
last night was one of those nights where sports fucking crushed me. first off, the New York Yankees had a long ass rain delay before the game started. then, they couldn't hold on to a 5 run lead and eventually lost to Baltimore 7-6 on a walk off home run from future Yankee Manny Machado. the Yankees picked the wrong night to lose as Boston won last night. hopefully the Yankees can win the series tonight.
the USA played like shit last night. the defense was absolutely in shambles for most of the game. and when Honduras took the lead early in the first half, the nightmare started playing in my head. thankfully, Bobby Wood scored late to salvage a 1-1 draw that leaves the USA in 4th place in the standings. now, they next face Panama at home. Panama is 1 point ahead of them. the best the USA could finish in this now is probably 3rd, but 3rd will keep them from having to win a playoff to get into the World Cup. as much as i want them to make it, part of me knows them missing it could be best in the long run. i'm not sure why a coach would start a guy in his 40's on defense in 100 degree heat in a game that you must win. of course, the coach also believed a draw was good enough. now, if they somehow lose to Panama, he'll understand the foolish nature of that statement.
American Horror Story was fucking great last night. i think i'm really going to enjoy this season.
Deadliest Catch was pretty good last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night. it also showed why Tampa is a clown organization.
Smackdown was really good last night. the match between Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton was as good as i thought it could be.
205 Live was pretty good last night as well. it will be interesting to see if Neville takes the advice Chris Jericho gave him about Enzo Amore.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lucha Underground, Mr. Mercedes, the season finale of Snowfall, Big Brother and the season premieres of You're the Worst and Total Bellas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
you could tell we had a cold front move through last night. i went out to get the paper this morning and the wind actually had some cool to it. we didn't get nearly as much wind and rain as they said we were going to. i actually would have liked a little more rain as our grass is being reseeded tomorrow.
for National Poetry Month, i give you:
i did a little poetry work today. i got 10 poems ready to go out tomorrow. i figure that way i'll be busy before the NFL Draft occupies my mind.
i was not shocked with who went home last night on The Voice. honestly, i thought Owen should have gone home last week.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night. i don't think i would have been able to do what Captain Jake did last night without a little bit of shit in my pants.
the New York Yankees got blown out last night, 10-1. they end their series in Texas tonight. hopefully they get a win.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network. i'll probably also check out Game 7 tonight between Anaheim and Nashville.
i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly encourage all of you to check it out for the interview with Chyna that's never been heard before.
i got mom's mother's day gift last night on Amazon.com. i was also in the mood to get me some music. so hopefully in a few days i'll have the eclectic mix of Naked & Famous, Ohio Players, Steve Earle, Cowboy Junkies, Muddy Waters and Leonard Cohen. i also got "This Is Water" from David Foster Wallace. i'm gearing up for one of those weird ass summers that i am getting used to. only this one will include a "vacation" to Cleveland in it. i guess that will give me a reason to use my camera and drink in a hotel bar.
that's really all for me today. i'll probably be on here early tomorrow, most likely after i email out the poems. i want to have a pretty clean slate going into the NFL Draft tomorrow night. i'm hoping it's not another one where i end up scratching my head at what the New Orleans Saints are doing. plus, there should be a ton of Ohio State players going in the first round.
hope everyone has a great one. take it easy and then take it again.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
