so, i was going to start the blog off today one way, but considering my mother just fell again in her room, that plan is out the window. i'm not really sure how many fucking times i have to tell her to watch where she is going, have a clear path, etc. but, once a stubborn person, always a stubborn person. she's going to have some more nice bruises and i'm pretty sure her shower isn't going to feel real good. good times.
so, the Yankees won last night (finally) over Tampa Bay, 8-7, in 10 innings. the Yankees were down 4-0 at one point last night and fought their way back to 4-4. then, i figured as soon as Chapman heard he was going to be a closer again, he'd shit the bed. sure enough, he gave up 3 runs in the top of 10th. thankfully, Josh Donaldson hit a walk off grand slam in the bottom of the 10th to win the game. Yankees start a series tonight at home against Toronto.
team USA lost to the Czech Republic last night, 4-2, at the World Juniors. it was painfully obvious that the USA took the Czechs lightly and were outplayed for most of the game. if i have said it once, i have said it a million times, there is no fucking way i would want to make a living trying to coach anyone between the ages of 18-22. so, the semifinals are set. Canada will play Czech Republic and Sweden takes on Finland.
Big Brother was good last night. i have no clue who is going to get evicted tonight.
AEW Dynamite last night was great.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and NJPW. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on Peacock.
so, as of right now, mom has an appointment this afternoon at the foot doctor. i'm not going to be surprised if she ends up cancelling it if she doesn't feel good after this latest fall.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i know i need to get some poetry work done so i can get some poems ready to submit this weekend most likely.
i need to go help mom out of the shower so that's all for me kids.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.

so, i was standing in line at Kroger today, waiting to check out and this old lady came up behind me. she asked me if this was the only line open. i said yeah, no other lines open, just like always. and then, within a few minutes, 2 checkout lanes opened and i was like holy shit. the old lady had gone to get in line at the self checkout. i got behind this old man trying his best to get what was in his cart onto the conveyor belt, i thought he was going to have a heart attack. thankfully, he didn't. i ended up saving over $35 at Kroger today. between that, Rite Aid and the local grocery store, i got everything that was on the grocery list.
the Yankees actually scored last night, but still lost to Tampa Bay, 3-1. they have called up three kids from the minors today. hopefully, that will give them a spark. the lead in the division is now down to 9 games.
NXT was awesome last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
team USA plays Czech Republic tonight in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors. so far today, Finland and Sweden have advanced to the semifinals.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has an appointment with her foot doctor in the afternoon. so, hopefully, i'll be able to get the blog done before i have to take her to that.
a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:
my poems "survival", "love is never allowed to exist" and "in a public square" have been published at Terror House Magazine. you can read the poems by going here:
i heard back from Matt at Terror House Magazine on my recent poetry submission. my poems "survival", "love is never allowed to exist" and "in a public square" have been accepted for publication.
so, i was up at 6 this morning. i wanted to get up early and get my day going as i knew mom wanted to be up around 8 this morning. she is not a morning person at all and i barely am. thankfully, i think she was awake enough to have her online counseling session this morning. i shaved and showered and went to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Big Lots. i got 5 packs of 2022 Topps Heritage for $30. i found some decent rookies in the packs and one short print. i'm still chasing a damn Julio Rodriguez rookie card.
the Yankees lost last night to Tampa Bay, 4-0. hopefully, the fucking offense will wake the fuck up tonight and score.
Industry was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night.
enjoy some music:

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
or maybe it is simply, i can't fucking stand Mondays. today has been one of those days where it seems like i'm just fucking stuck in first gear and don't have the ability to get going. add in my mother falling again and me screwing up my back trying to get to her and you can easily understand why i turn to alcohol on most days.
i think most of mom's falling is due to her vision being so bad she has absolutely no sense of depth perception. so, this once again will be the battle between being stubborn and asking for fucking help. as always, i'll be the one stuck in the middle, getting more frustrated by the minute. good times.
the Yankees lost to Boston last night, 3-0. it almost seems like the team is just going to coast for the rest of the season, see if they can still win the division and then flip the switch in the playoffs. great. they start a series at home tonight against Tampa Bay.
team USA defeated Sweden last night, 3-2, at the World Juniors. that means they will finish first in the group and play Czechia in the quarterfinals.
the season finale of Westworld was excellent last night. i'm hoping there will be more of the series, but if there isn't, this finale was the perfect goodbye.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
VICE was very good last night.
The Chi was really good last night.
City on a Hill was good last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i'm happy for Taylor.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was fucking great last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Industry.
i did listen to episode 408 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i didn't get to bed this morning until 5 AM. i was up at 9 AM. nothing like sitting at the table at 4 AM going through the coupons after getting the dishes done and seeing your mother come out to the table, not really sure what she is doing. i keep telling her, and you wonder why i don't get to sleep much anymore.
she was supposed to have a counseling session online today but of course, that got cancelled. so now, she has to do one in the morning and i know tomorrow will be a fresh slice of hell as she is not a morning person.
thanks again to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems. i've had 9 published in the last 3 days. not bad...
my poems "a purple sadness", "on these rainy days", "i called his bluff", "relaxes with a cold drink" and "dead relatives" have been published at Synchronized Chaos. you can read the poems by going here:
on top of the fact, i'm out of bread, so i will be hitting the local grocery store sometime this afternoon. it would have been nice if i would have remembered that yesterday when i was shopping. oh well.
i turned off the Manchester United game yesterday when they were losing 2-0. they eventually lost to Brentford, 4-0. even worse, they are now at the bottom of the league for the first time in 30 years. now, i know it has been just 2 games, etc. etc. they play Liverpool next, so i can just imagine how bad it is going to get before it even starts to get fucking better.
thankfully, the day got better from there...
team USA defeated Austria yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-0. they play Sweden tonight for first place in the group.
shopping went pretty well yesterday. i didn't find everything, but i didn't break the bank to get what i got either.
the Yankees won last night in Boston, 3-2. IKF hit his first HR of the year and drove in the winning run with a safety squeeze. hopefully, the Yankees will win the series tonight.
the New Orleans Saints lost last night at Houston, 17-13. i put no stock into preseason football, so the loss doesn't bother me. none of the starters really played, so...
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, VICE, The Chi, City on a Hill, Flatbush Misdemeanors, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Last Week Tonight and the season finale of Westworld.
i do plan on doing my laundry today. given that the Yankees don't play until tonight, i'll have all afternoon to get it done.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
my poems "avoid the punches", "but every blue moon" and "more than anything left on this earth" have been published at Pyrokinection. you can read the poems by going here:
i swear, it feels like i just went to bed. of course, i have been up for almost 3 hours after my usual 4 hours of sleep.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.
AEW Rampage was really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight.
the Yankees lost last night to the Red Sox, 3-2, in 10 innings. yet another blown save for Holmes. they play again tonight.
Manchester United plays at Brentford today. hopefully, they play much better this week than they did last week.
right after that is over, i'll be watching team USA take on Austria at the World Juniors.
and then sometime this afternoon, i need to go to Rite Aid to pick up my prescription and go to Kroger and get mom's prescription and some other things and then go to Meijer and get some other stuff. i did a run on sentence on purpose as i know that is exactly how my afternoon is going to feel today.
the New Orleans Saints play tonight at the Texans. hopefully, they will win and no one will get hurt.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...

so, all the shopping i was going to get done today never happened. apparently, i needed some sleep. so, i guess i know what i will be doing tomorrow...
mom's appointment at the eye doctor went well. i think we have a better idea what has been playing a part in all her falls. i'm hoping the new glasses will help that. now, i didn't love the way they basically rushed her out of the place since we were the last appointment. they didn't even bother to give mom the chance to actually pick new frames if she wanted them. in the end, that probably saved her some money, but mom was not happy about it. i can understand. but, i also know now, never get the last appointment of the day.
Big Brother was good last night. Daniel did get evicted. Taylor is the new HOH.
NXT UK was really good last night.
NJPW was excellent last night.
the USA world juniors team defeated Switzerland last night, 7-1. they play Austria on Saturday afternoon.

the Yankees start a series tonight at the Red Sox. i'm hopeful that the Yankees will pull their heads out of their asses and start winning again. hopefully soon.
it was cool enough today that i was actually able to open the house up a bit and let some air move through. that probably actually helped me sleep more as well.
i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.
and if i actually get my ass in gear tonight, there might be another blog post after i send some poems out.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
and here's hoping that Salman Rushdie doesn't die tonight.

so, mom's appointment at the heart doctor went well yesterday. her blood pressure was really good. i was pleased with the doctor, since he took it while she was sitting down as well as standing up. she doesn't have to go back to see him for 9 months.
after the appointment and mom's trip to McDonald's for her frozen coke, we went home. i turned on the Yankees game, hoping for the best. when the Yankees went up 3-1, i was really hoping they would win. of course, Aaron Boone's insistence on using the wrong pitchers at the wrong time made damn sure they wouldn't hold the lead. right after they scored the 3 runs to take the lead, they gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and lost, 4-3. i know one thing for sure, i don't want to see the Mariners in the playoffs. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series tomorrow in Boston.
AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.
Big Brother was good last night. Daniel will be evicted tonight.
the MLS All Star game was good last night. the MLS defeated Liga MX 2-1.

team USA plays Switzerland tonight at the World Juniors. that should be a good game.
i have to take mom to the eye doctor today. our old eye doctor retired, so i'll be interested to see who the new guy is.
i need to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i'll do that before i take her to the eye doctor.
i might send the poems out today. if i do, that will happen when i get back home late this afternoon.
i'm not really sure when i will be on here tomorrow.
at least it feels like the humidity has finally broke here.

the Yankees pissed me off so damn much last night, i ended up writing 4 poems. of course, that also meant, i didn't get to sleep until 5 in the morning. so yeah, everything is running behind today. good times.
the Yankees lost to Seattle last night, 1-0, in 13 innings. the horrific baserunning the Yankees had in extra innings might have set baseball back 50 fucking years. just fucking awful. and given the number of times their bullpen saved them, you can say that shitty baserunning cost them the game. they will go for the series win this afternoon, but i'm not holding my breath.
the USA world juniors team defeated Germany last night, 5-1. they outshot Germany 50-11.
NXT was really good last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.

mom has an appointment this afternoon at her heart doctor.

if i get a wild hair up my ass, i might send the poems out today. if not, i'll be sending out some submissions before the weekend.
i got a few hours of sleep in my bed last night and then of course, my back started to ache like a motherfucker. after that, i got close to 3 hours of sleep in my massage chair with ice on my back.
i believe the MLS All Star game is tonight. i might watch some of that.
i need to get some things done before i take mom to her appointment, so that's all for me kids.

i decided to just do all the grocery shopping today. the time for mom's appointment tomorrow was later than i thought she wrote down, so it made more sense to just get it done today. hopefully, i'll get the blog done tomorrow before her appointment, more on that in a bit.
so, i had a thought last night while doing the dishes at 2:30 in the morning. i remember a conversation i had with a homeless man years ago while sharing a bottle of hooch in a brown paper bag. he said the one thing people hate more when you're talking about them is when you're not. that made me chuckle last night when thinking about the one i'm not supposed to talk about in this blog. and i'm sure at this point, i'm supposed to make some funny statement or something, but i'm not going to. i have plenty i will say one day. probably not soon. but, who knows. even better, who cares.
the Yankees won last night in Seattle, 9-4. of course, it came with a price. Matt Carpenter broke his foot last night. i'm not going to be shocked if he ends up missing the rest of the season. hopefully, they will win again tonight, even though i really doubt they do. they haven't proven they can hit Luis Castillo at all this season.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night.
Industry was great last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty good last night.

the World Juniors tournament starts back up today. it normally happens right after Christmas but COVID but an end to that this year. team USA plays Germany tonight. i'll watch some of that for sure.
i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. mom's appointment at the heart doctor is in the afternoon. and considering the Yankees play a day game tomorrow, the morning is the best time for it.
grocery shopping went pretty well today. of course, it just had to fucking rain.

i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "a purple sadness", "on these rainy days", "i called his bluff", "relaxes with a cold drink" and "dead relatives" have been accepted for publication.
so, i guess the person i am not supposed to talk about has someone reading this blog for her and telling her what is in it. i'm not sure that's the best use of fuck you money, but that's just my opinion. my mother and i got into it yesterday as she accused me of not allowing her to have any friends. that truly made me laugh. my mother has no friends because she dedicated her life to work and nothing else. that is why retirement has been so fucking hard for her since she doesn't understand the concept of hobbies. so, i offered to simply remove myself from the situation completely and she can see how it would go for her then. i believe she saw the absurdity to all of this and dropped the conversation completely. of course, i brought this up because it was after a hour conversation she had with the person i'm not supposed to talk about. so yeah. that was how may day was going yesterday as i was watching the Yankees lose yet again. just fucking great.
this made me feel old as fuck today:
and since i love history, this one hit me pretty hard today:
the Yankees lost to the Cardinals yesterday, 12-9. they left a small village on base and the pitching yesterday just fucking sucked. of course, the home plate umpire fucking sucked yesterday as well. when he took a foul ball right to the mask the first word that exited my mouth was karma. that's 5 losses in a row for the Yankees. they start a series tonight in Seattle. they might want to start playing better RIGHT NOW.
Westworld was fucking great last night. the season finale is next week.
