my brain is somewhere around 25, my body is nearing death...

i wanted to write this blog in the morning, but of course, between arthritis, apathy and just pure fucking pain, i didn't get out of bed until 10. that left really no time since i had to get ready to take mom to her doctor's appointment. that appointment is about a 45 minute drive. joy. and of course, between the tornado damage and construction, everything around here is a clusterfuck. thankfully, i took the right back roads and got her down there on time.

i don't think she met any doctors today, more like a nurse practitioner. this one was like a dream woman, tattoos everywhere and stunning, i mean fucking stunning eyes. i was hoping she was going to pick up on the vibe i was putting out. of course, that never happened. the appointment went really well. after that, mom wanted to go to lunch at Rusty Bucket. they were a little crowded, but not too bad. the food was excellent as always. the drive home was a bit of a drag, mostly because of fucking horrible drivers and the heat. of course, now i feel it is raining again.

i got home in time to watch the rest of the Yankees game and some of the Women's World Cup.

the Yankees won last night over the Rays, 6-3. this afternoon, they completed the sweep, defeating Tampa Bay 12-1. that victory was CC's 250th of his career. it also means the Yankees are 3 1/2 games up in the division now. they start a series with Houston tomorrow night.

the USMNT won last night, 4-0 over Guyana. when it was only 1-0 at halftime, i was not happy. i was a little more pleased by the end of the game.

Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Songland was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

here are your scores from the Women's World Cup:
England defeated Japan 2-0 and Scotland vs. Argentina finished 3-3.

in the Gold Cup last night, Panama defeated Trinidad & Tobago 2-0. tonight, Cuba takes on Martinique and Canada plays Mexico.

i hope everyone had a good Juneteenth. if you don't know what that is, please educate yourself and stop being fucking stupid.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank. thankfully, mom doesn't have anyplace for me to take her tomorrow.

that's all for me kids. until we meet again...

Espero el dulce alivio de la muerte.

of course, it had to start raining...

just as i was getting ready to start writing this, it started fucking pouring. and by pouring, i mean raining so fucking hard that currently, the water is over the sewers and coming up the driveway. good times.

i got mom to her appointment this morning on time. i had to do some quick thinking as i was going to go the highway but it was standing still when i was going to get on it. thankfully, i know all these roads around here like the back of my hand. i'm hoping the shot really helps her back. lord knows, she needs it.

i wrote 6 poems today, 5 of them in the waiting room. i typed those up this afternoon. i think they are pretty good. i will probably get another round of submissions ready soon. i'll probably send those out sometime before the end of the month.

the New York Yankees got a complete game shutout last night from Tanaka to defeat Tampa Bay 3-0. i'm hoping they get another victory tonight.

Monday Night Raw was much better last night than the last couple of weeks. of course, it should have been with a ppv coming up this Sunday.

Desus & Mero was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and Songland. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the USMNT starts their group play in the Gold Cup tonight against Guyana. i really want the guys to make a statement tonight with a great game. but, given how they have played recently, i'd love to just see a win.

i did watch some of the Gold Cup last night. here are your scores:
El Salvador won 1-0. Jamaica defeated Honduras 3-2.

tonight Panama plays Trinidad & Tobago before the USMNT plays.

in the Women's World Cup today, Brazil defeated Italy 1-0 and Australia defeated Jamaica 4-1.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i get back from mom's appointment down south of town and probably lunch down there as well.

i have trash to go pick up. joy. at least the rain has become a little lighter at the moment.

until tomorrow kids...

not exactly how i want to wake up in the morning...

i couldn't find a spot for my back last night to calm down until almost 5 in the morning. sometime around 9, i heard a lawnmower outside of my window. sure enough, the guy who cuts our grass was out there mowing. i knew there was no way i could get some more sleep, as i needed to get going since mom had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. i would have loved to get more than 4 hours of sleep, but people in hell want ice water as well.

i got mom to her appointment on time. her A1C was good and everything looks to be well with all her shit. after that was over, she wanted to go to Long John Silver's. the one closest to us closed about a year ago, so this the only one even remotely close to us now. i didn't get much as it was one of those combo Long John Silver's/KFC restaurants. after that was over, i decided to drive back through the town i grew up in. i went back into the neighborhood i grew up in and holy shit, it was hit bad by that Memorial Day tornado. the house i grew up in looks like it had damage on all 4 sides of it and the roof. the tree i thought about killing myself on when i was 8 got destroyed. the other side of the street looked even worse. it looked like every apartment building in the apartments next to where i grew up got damaged. this was the first time i had been back in the neighborhood in probably 20 years. as much as things looked the same (minus the damage of course) the more i knew it will never recover. i'm really hoping i am wrong about that, but i doubt i will be.

the New York Yankees won yesterday, 10-3, to split their series with the White Sox. they start a series tonight at home against Tampa. first place will be on the line.

Axios was excellent yesterday.

Big Little Lies was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

the season finale of The Chi had some truly holy shit moments. i'm really interested to see where this goes for season 3.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

City on a Hill was really good last night. i think i'm really going to enjoy this series.

Euphoria was excellent last night. i got a good laugh from people thinking it's controversial. these are probably the same people that believe their teenagers are angels and don't do drugs or look at porn or do plenty of crazy shit. i can't say i had many high school parties like the one on the show, but i had a couple that were crazy as fuck and that was in the 90's. and i truly believe the drugs are way better today than back then.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

here are your scores from the Women's World Cup today:
China vs. Spain 0-0, Germany defeated South Africa 4-0, France defeated Nigeria 1-0 and Norway defeated South Korea 2-1.

in the Gold Cup yesterday, Haiti beat Bermuda, 2-1 and Costa Rica defeated Nicaragua 4-0. tonight El Salvador takes on Curacao and Honduras takes on Jamaica.

i'll be on here tomorrow sometime after mom gets her injection for her back. she is really looking forward to this as her back has been killing her the past few days.

i know once she gets that done she wants me to take her to Burger King so she can get her favorite frozen drink. joy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

happy birthday to my mother...

my mother slept in this morning, so she really didn't want much for breakfast. that made things pretty easy for me this morning. i was hoping we'd have really good weather today so maybe she would want to go out for lunch or something. of course, we're supposed to have some strong storms move through in a couple hours. joy. so this will be the house of arthritis really soon.

the New York Yankees won last night, 8-4. hopefully, they will get the series split this afternoon. the Yankees did make a trade last night, getting Edwin Encarnacion from Seattle. he's going to be the primary DH when he shows up tomorrow. apparently, the Yankees can't get any pitching, so they will just try to pummel everyone to death.

i did watch plenty of the Gold Cup last night. Canada won 4-0 and Mexico won 7-0. that should be interesting when they play each other this coming week.

congrats to Ukraine for winning the U-20 World Cup.

Canada won in the Women's World Cup yesterday, 2-0. Sweden defeated Thailand this morning 5-1. the USA beat Chile 3-0. Sweden will play the USA in a few days to see who wins the group.

ROH was really good last night.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Father's Day is even better.

and as i told the last person that asked me about Father's Day... i'll go dig the fucker up and ask him about it.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. mom has appointments nearly every day this coming week. good times.

the New York Yankees lost last night in Chicago, 10-2 to the White Sox. that's 3 losses in a row now. thank god Stanton and Judge have started their rehab assignments.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was excellent last night.

25 years ago today, the New York Rangers won the Stanley Cup. it's hard to believe it's been 25 years. but, i still remember that day as one of the greatest days of my life.

i did watch a good portion of Game 6 of the NBA Finals last night. i can't believe the number of serious injuries in this series for the Warriors. but, that's a part of basketball. so, it is nice to see someone other than LeBron or Golden State win one for a change. here are your highlights:

Lip Sync Battle was fucking hilarious last night.

Desus & Mero was excellent last night.

Life in Pieces was pretty funny last night.

Baskets was great as usual last night.

the New York Yankees pissed away a 4-0 lead last night to lose 5-4 to the Chicago White Sox.

the grocery store was fucking crowded as hell today. needless to say, i didn't get a chance to watch any of the Women's World Cup today. but, i did manage to get everything on the scroll and keep it under $130.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm shooting for the morning, but hell, i didn't have breakfast today until after noon. so, your guess is as good as mine.

i did watch all of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final last night. as a guy who loves to see everything Boston choke in a final, i was a happy man last night. here are your highlights:

NXT was really good last night.

The Wrestlers was excellent last night.

the New York Yankees start a 4 game series tonight in Chicago against the White Sox. hopefully, the Yankees can get back to winning series again. they are in first place in the division by a 1/2 game.

i did watch a little of the Women's World Cup today. China vs. South Africa did help me get a little more sleep.

Game 6 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that, especially near the end of the game. as much as i would love to see a Game 7, i won't believe it until i see it happen.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

the wind is so damn bad here it blew open the door that goes into our garage. good times.

3 hours of sleep and 5 pages of poetry...

i came up with the title of the poem last night while trying to fall asleep. three drag queens away from the circus being complete. apparently, that excited me enough that in my 3 hours of sleep, which honestly, is just a fucking nap, i must have been writing the poem. this was at 5 in the morning. so at 8 in the morning, i got up and wrote the poem about the two hours in the DMV yesterday. that poem ended up being 5 pages long. when i typed it up this morning, i was laughing. mom asked to read it and she laughed as well. i figure that's a good sign. i have no damn clue what i am going to do with it. i'm toying with the thought of making it a little book by itself. who knows.

the USWNT destroyed Thailand yesterday 13-0. everyone who didn't like that really pisses me off. as i told my mother, it's this fucking generation of everyone gets a damn trophy. i'm from the step on the neck and cut off the head of your opponent generation. i loved that they kept on scoring. i hope they do that all fucking tournament. now, i know that won't happen. but, i do love their chances of winning the Women's World Cup once again.

the New York Yankees won the first game of the doubleheader yesterday, 12-5. they lost the second to the Mets, 10-4. oh well. they are off tonight and start a 4 game series tomorrow in Chicago against the White Sox.

Songland was really, really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was great last night.

Smackdown was ok last night. 205 Live was much better than i was expecting. and NXT UK this afternoon was really good.

Ice on Fire was excellent last night. i think i really enjoyed it mostly because it talked about things that can be done right now to stop climate change. too bad there are so many so dumb fucks that don't believe in it.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i will be watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final for most of the evening.

a few haunting memories

my poem "a few haunting memories" has been published in Yellow Mama #74. you can find the poem by going here: http://blackpetalsks.tripod.com/yellowmama/id2056.html

2 hours of my life i will never get back...

as i explained to my mother after she apologized again about the shit show at the DMV... it's been 43 years of doing shit i didn't want to do. i'm used to it by now. i got up a little after 9 and got ready to go this morning. just as i thought would happen, mom changed her mind and wanted to see if she could get her driver's license renewed. i dropped her off so she could get a number and then i found a place to park. this used to be easy, but that was when the Trotwood office was open. and lord knows, the state doesn't want anything in a black community, so they closed that office down about a year ago. we were sitting there for a good 90 minutes before the number got called. and of course, mom was nervous, for some fucking reason. and now in Ohio, because we have to have these secure identities, etc. she had to provide a birth certificate, her first marriage license, the divorce papers, the second marriage license and two items to prove she lives where she lives. good fuckin' lord. it was after noon by the time she took her picture and got the paper that acts as her license before the new one comes in the mail. as i told mom, this is the state's way of nickel and diming every fucker in this state to death. it was after 12:30 by the time we got breakfast at Waffle House. joy.

i'll be writing some poems after today, that's for sure. saw a guy in a wheelchair get his license renewed. saw this beautiful young black woman and the old white woman that refused to sit next to her. and the lady behind me that told the story about her son losing his house in the tornado 3 different times.

the New York Yankees were rained out last night, so they are playing a doubleheader today against the Mets. the Yankees are winning the first game so far, 9-4. the second game is tonight.

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the NBA Finals. amazingly, there will be a Game 6.

Monday Night Raw was almost good last night, almost. i did like the use of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. and Bray Wyatt was great once again. as for the rest of the show, at least i had a basketball game i could flip to.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Ice on Fire, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and Songland. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i have the USA vs. Thailand game on in the other room. i'm hoping the women do great in the Women's World Cup. the USA are up 2-0 so far.

i'll probably do the trash and all the other shit i have to do after that match is over.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i just know i'm hoping tomorrow i'll actually have breakfast in me well before noon.

until tomorrow kids...

and of course, the fucking phone rings at 9, you know, because the rest of the world operates on normal hours. i was just happy i got breakfast in me by noon. if we get any rain tonight, i think i will drown myself in CBD oil and just live with the results.

the New York Yankees won yesterday in Cleveland, 7-6 in 10 innings. the Yankees were up 5-0 after the second inning. the bullpen pissed that away. and then the defense fucked up in the 9th when the Yankees were winning 6-5. at least they won the fucking game in the 10th. the Yankees start a 2 game series at home tonight against the Mets. i'd love to see them win both games and start a winning streak again.

i only got to watch a little of the Women's World Cup yesterday and today. i do plan on watching all of the USA vs. Thailand tomorrow afternoon.

the USMNT shit the bed yesterday against Venezuela and lost 3-0. my fears about this team are coming true. and if they get embarrassed in the Gold Cup, perhaps the hierarchy will realize they need to start the whole god damn process over again.

here are your highlights from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. there will be a Game 7.

Axios was really good last night.

Big Little Lies was great last night, but way too short of an episode. and i can tell already, having Meryl Streep on the show is going to be fucking great.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

the season finale of Billions was perfect last night. and i can't wait for the next season.

The Chi was really good last night. that season finale next week looks great.

Our Cartoon President was fucking crazy last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

Game 5 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that. i do expect Toronto to win tonight, even if Kevin Durant plays.

i had to go out and get mom some money from her ATM this afternoon. of course, that's another town over. and then i had to go back to go to another town to get pills from the grocery store. and then drive back into Brookville and buy some lunch. in the car for over 60 minutes. of course, nearly half of that was in the line at Wendy's. joy.

i have to take mom to get her new ID card tomorrow at the DMV. i think she has come to grips with the fact she can no longer drive safely. of course, i'll truly believe it when she only goes for the new ID card and not a driver's license.

i'm hoping to be back by the time the USA women's soccer match starts. and then i'll do the blog after that is over.

i don't want to jump the gun, but it looks like mom might have won her social security disability back. of course, the insurance company called her and not her lawyer. mom saved the message and immediately called the attorney. i'm sure they are happy as well as they will get paid now.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

just enough rain to make you think death is a better option...

when the rain started last night, i could feel the arthritis in my knees start to jump for joy. first the left and then the right. i ended up having to sleep on my stomach to have my knees stop hurting. so of course, my back this morning was in lots of pain. joy.

the New York Yankees lost yesterday in Cleveland yesterday, 8-4. hopefully they will avoid being swept this afternoon.

i did watch plenty of the Women's World Cup yesterday. i plan on watching a little of the England vs. Scotland match today.

welcome to the weekend...

i'm hoping this weekend is a calm one. one with no storms, not a ton of humidity and one where the windows can be open and let a breeze in. i know that's too much to ask for in June, but a guy can dream.

i did watch WWE Super Showdown yesterday. oh god, that was fucking awful. it was easy to tell the heat at ringside was getting to everyone. of course, when the money is more important than the health of your performers, it was easy to see this clusterfuck coming. it was over 100 degrees at 9 in the evening over in Saudi Arabia in case you were wondering.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

i'll be on here tomorrow morning, most likely.

until then...

No lo veas como la muerte, es más como una siesta de la vida.

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...
