so mom likes having big breakfasts on Sunday morning. i'm not a big fan of it, but, since i do 95% of the cooking now, i more or less just shut up and start cooking. so, this morning was biscuits, sausage gravy and eggs. what i always try to do is never burn the food. so, you can imagine the frustration when the biscuits were a little extra brown when they came out of the oven. i know none of this stress is good for me. i know that the biscuits weren't burnt. even better, i do understand that perfection is not fucking possible. i'm 47 years into trying to unfuck my mind from growing up and never being good enough at anything where my parents could be proud. now, my mother at least put forth the effort. my father couldn't have cared less. now, if i would have been rich in my early 20's, i can guarantee you my father would have been proud; until he realized he wasn't seeing a fucking penny of the money. so yeah, welcome to my Sunday morning. had a soccer team blow a 3 goal lead that blew up an early morning parlay from Europe. good times.
the Yankees won last night in Kansas City, 5-2. that gave them 82 wins on the season. 31 years in a row over .500. today is the last game of the season, i won't be surprised when heads start to roll tomorrow. if they don't make some moves, they are kidding themselves that any of this shit is going to change.
the New York Rangers lost last night at the Islanders, 5-3. i can't wait for preseason hockey to be over.
NXT No Mercy was excellent last night.
AEW Collision was very good last night.
i did watch a few college football games yesterday.
i did catch some highlights from the MLS games last night. congrats to FC Cincinnati on winning the Supporters' Shield.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Billions, Power Book IV: Force and Last Week Tonight.
the New Orleans Saints play today at home against Tampa Bay. i have no fucking clue how or why Derek Carr is playing today.
i'm sure i will watch plenty of the NFL games today.
i did get my laundry done yesterday. mom forgot to tell me we were low on laundry detergent. so, i had to make a run to Meijer to get that and a few other things. apparently, it is was hot black woman Saturday at the store. i suppose i was there a little longer than i needed to be...
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to the foot doctor.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday.
i hope your Sunday will be even better.
welcome to October.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.
¿Cómo sé que no viviré una vida larga?
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:
so, i was going through my emails this morning and saw one from John at The Rye Whiskey Review. he emailed me to let me know he has nominated my poem "under a cherry moon" for Best of the Net. i believe this is the third time i have been nominated in my 25 years as a published poet. if you are interested in reading that poem again, you can find it here:
the Yankees came from behind last night and defeated Toronto, 6-2. that cuts the magic number down to 2. they have a 2 game lead over Boston and Seattle. Toronto is one game behind those teams. this should be a crazy fucking final weekend for baseball. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Tampa. if they win tonight and Boston or Seattle lose, they are in the playoffs.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious last night.
Dark Side of the Ring was about FMW and Onita last night. i warned my mother before she started watching it, that there would be a ton of blood, barbed wire and crazy shit. i think the warning helped her.
Cake was fucking weird as always last night.
i did see a little of the Bengals last second win over the Jaguars. i sure hope Urban Meyer is making a ton of money. losing doesn't look good on him.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.
i did go to the bank today. thankfully, that didn't take forever. but, since it is October now, i guess it is orange barrel season again. looks like everything is under fucking construction again. joy.
i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Everton in the morning. i'm really hoping to be in a good mood.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. just remember, it's never too early to start scaring the shit out of people.
thanks to everyone that checked out my latest published poems:
