i didn't even bother to try to sleep in my bed last night. that being said, it felt like it took moving heaven and earth to get any sleep in my massage chair. i know at 6 this morning, i said fuck it, and went back into my bed. between both spots, i might have got 4 hours. joy.
the New York Yankees lost last night to Arizona, 4-2. they put two more guys on the injured list this morning. i have no clue if they will make any trades today or not. hopefully, they find a way to get a fucking win this afternoon.
Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.
Miz & Mrs. was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Snowfall and Unmasking Jihadi John: Anatomy of a Terrorist. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the trade deadline for MLB is 4 PM today. everything i have heard so far is if the Yankees don't get a deal they like, they are going to do nothing at the deadline.
i will probably be on here before i have to take the car in to the dealership tomorrow afternoon. i think it's just going to be for an oil change, but with the appointment being in the late afternoon, i don't want to take any chances that i'm sitting there for a couple hours with a blog still to do. so yeah, look for me in the morning tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a good day.

i tried sleeping in my bed last night, but the pinched nerve in my arm had different plans. so, i got 2 hours of sleep in my massage chair and maybe another 3 hours of naps so far today. joy. i heard back from the doctor's office. they told me to ice, stretch and rest my arm. i started to laugh when i read that this morning. do they honestly think i haven't been doing that shit already? i hate being the cranky old man these days, but fuck, the world won't allow anything different.
Monday Night Raw was fucking crazy last night. the last half hour or so reminded me of the genius of Paul Heyman. it was light years better than the show the week before.
Divorce was pretty funny last night. the final episode of the series airs next Monday.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

Manchester United won 1-0 over in Norway this afternoon.
i'll be on here early tomorrow since the Yankees play in the afternoon. tomorrow is also trade deadline day for MLB. i'm really hoping the Yankees get something that will help them win a title this season.
i have trash to pick up and more sleep to catch up on, so that's all for me kids.

my poem "the last good dream" has been published in Horror Sleaze Trash Quarterly Summer 2019. you can download the pdf of the issue by going here: https://horrorsleazetrash.com/downloads/
here in the house of apathy, especially on these hot summer days, mom tends to sleep all day. 2 hours here and there. i'll be guilty of taking a few naps while icing my back down. of course, what it truly means, is we'll both be up around 3 in the morning, bitching about not being able to sleep. i mentioned to her earlier today, perhaps we're just vampires and don't know it. she returned with and we've never met the right people to know it for sure. i'm guessing she was half-asleep while she said that. we're supposed to get some storms tonight to break this humidity. i'll believe it when i see it.
i did contact my doctor today about the pinched nerve in my right arm. so now the waiting game is on. and i told them the GI doctor i want to go to, which isn't the one they referred me to. so, i'm interested to see when i get an email back from them.
the New York Yankees won last night over Boston, 9-6. they finally got some decent pitching on the same night the offense showed up. what a concept. they are off tonight. they start a home series tomorrow night at home against Arizona.
Euphoria was excellent last night. i can't wait to see the season finale next week.
Last Week Tonight was hilarious as usual.
City on a Hill was great last night.
Big Brother was good last night.

my sister gave mom and i our gifts from her trip to Greece. i was more interested in what she thought of the country, the ancient places, etc. i get the feeling that she didn't enjoy her time in Athens and will never go back.
she did buy us lunch yesterday before she left to go home. mom was happy that she didn't have to pay anything.
i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon, unless i have a doctor's appointment.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i had a jello shot last night that was more Crown Royal than actually jello. i don't think i've had a jello shot since my 20's. something in me snapped after that, either the nostalgia of it all or just a shot of liquor and boom, i felt like i was out of my funk from yesterday. all it probably really means is i'm a fucking alcoholic that doesn't want to admit it quite yet. oh well.
the New York Yankees lost again yesterday at Boston, 9-5. the Yankees pitching is fucking atrocious at the moment. i'm hoping they will avoid a 4 game sweep tonight, but i'm not holding my breath.
Smackville was pretty good last night. i like when the WWE puts at least some of a house show on the network. i wish they would do it more often.
ROH was really good last night. the match between The Briscoes and Rush & Dragon Lee was fucking great.
NJPW was awesome last night. i could watch Okada vs. Kenta probably another million times and not get bored.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, City on a Hill, Euphoria and Last Week Tonight.
i will probably catch up on some more sleep this afternoon since the Yankees don't play until this evening. i'm sure all i'll need to do is put on a soccer game from Mexico and i'll be asleep in the first 10 minutes.
i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i have to take the car in for an oil change sometime this week. not sure when mom made that appointment. i know she said something last night that we need to look for something new. i can't imagine why, given that the Highlander has over 250,000 miles on it. at least if we do get something new, i'll have something in my name again.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

i'm not sure what to call this head space i find myself in. it's not a depression, it's not an apathy fueled self destructive phase, it's not even the blahs... i suppose it's like a transcendental crisis of some nature, the thought that death would cure something that doesn't exist per se, while fully knowing the pain is riding all of you into this void, creeping closer to whatever addictive nature inside of you exists. my blood sugar numbers always go up when i don't drink. so, to be a better diabetic, i need to be an alcoholic. talk about a catch 22. add in my mother's passive aggressive nature and my intolerance for such bullshit, and you have a lovely combination for a weekend to explode. mind you, i don't have the energy anymore.
i think i turned off the Yankees game last night in the middle of the bottom of the first inning. i would check the score every now and then, but it never got any better. the Yankees lost to the Red Sox again, 10-5. hopefully, they will flip the script this afternoon, but i'm not counting on it.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Shangri-La was really good last night. next week is the finale.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and NJPW. i'll probably watch the Smackville special sometime tonight on WWE Network.
my sister came down today. i was so fucking tired, i didn't even hear the doorbell when she arrived. of course, she has a key, so... she's at a surprise party at the house of the cousin that molested me right now. don't even get me started.
i think the city is doing the fireworks tonight. i have no damn clue if i will be interested in watching them or not.
i'm doing my laundry today, trying to be productive while my mind is lost somewhere.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

before i get into the debacle last night, a little poetry news...
i heard back from Corey at Red Eft Review on my poetry submission from last night. one of the poems came really close, but this isn't horseshoes. he passed on all 3 i sent. oh well.
my father would have been 73 years old today. thank god he isn't.
the New York Yankees were due for a clunker and of course it just had to come up in Boston. the Red Sox took them behind the woodshed last night and beat the shit out of them. the final score was 19-3. that's the most runs Boston has ever scored on the Yankees. hopefully, i will never have to see that again in my lifetime. and hopefully, the Yankees fucking win tonight. even better, go trade for a fucking starter NOW!!!!!!!!
Holey Moley was fucking hilarious last night.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. Holly is the new HOH, so it will be back to regular programming in the house this week.
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Shangri-La.
the grocery store was pretty fucking crowded today. all the prices were up it seemed. between both stores and my pills, i kept it under $200. at least we should have some options for dinner for the next week or so.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'll probably get one done before the Yankees play in the afternoon, at least in theory.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i just sent out 14 poems; 3 each to The Angel's Share Magazine, Red Eft Review and Yellow Mama; 5 poems to Fourth & Sycamore. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
i think i mostly tossed and turned last night for the most part. but, this afternoon, with a little ice on my back in my massage chair, i probably got a good 2 hours of a hard fucking nap in. i feel a little rejuvenated i suppose. not good enough to send out the poems today like i wanted, but i get the feeling i know what i'll be doing at 3 in the morning when i can't sleep tonight.
the New York Yankees won another slugfest with the Twins last night, 10-7. they start a 4 game series tonight in Boston. this is their chance to basically eliminate Boston from having any chance to win the division.
NXT was really good last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i fully expect Bella to be evicted tonight.
Snowfall had an excellent Oh Shit ending last night.

the humidity has crept back into the area. so, the air conditioning is back on today. it was nice to have the windows open for a couple of days.
i believe my sister is coming down this weekend. i know the community picnic is this weekend, with the fireworks on Saturday night.
that's all for me kids. until tomorrow...

i did do a little poetry work last night/this morning/this afternoon. i know where my next 14 poems are going. i'm hoping to get those out before the weekend.
the game last night between the Yankees and Twins was fucking crazy. truly, an instant classic. the Yankees won 14-12 in 10 innings. both closers blew saves, both teams hit what they thought were game winning home runs, DiDi went 5 for 5 with 7 RBI, first AL shortstop to EVER do that, and Aaron Hicks, a former Twins draft pick, made a crazy fucking catch to end the game. hopefully, the Yankees win tonight and win the series. here are the highlights:
Smackdown and 205 Live were both excellent last night.
Miz & Mrs. was fucking hilarious last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and Snowfall. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network. i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent, as usual.
in my fog today, i managed to put out the new solar lights mom bought yesterday. i'm hoping they look good tonight. apparently the new lights i got for the outside are a bright yellow, which i don't mind. but, i guess our lights are set to a motion setting, so they blink like crazy whenever there is any motion. that should keep people away.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
hope everyone is doing good.

in late July, i'm used to the air you can wear and breaking into a sweat walking down the driveway to get the paper. today, i was able to turn off the air conditioner, open some windows, actually do some work outside and not die of a heat stroke.
i took mom out shopping today. it had been months since we had been to Menards. she had some rebates to use and i had a list of shit we needed. we found most of what we were looking for. after that, we went to Waffle House. she needed a place where she could sit and relax for a bit.
i got the trash done before working on this.
the New York Yankees left a small village on base last night and lost at Minnesota, 8-6. hopefully, they will win tonight.
Divorce was good last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
Monday Night Raw felt like something that was thrown together at the last minute. i hated that they barely showed any of the returning females on the show. at least the 24/7 shit was pretty funny. and having Bray Wyatt attack Mick Foley was very good.

it started to storm last night right as the finale of Big Little Lies started. fuck. i scrambled to set the DVR to record the airing later in the night, hoping the storm would be over by then. thankfully, it was.
the finale of Big Little Lies was really good. the way it ended, it certainly left the door open for season 3. and honestly, if Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep or Laura Dern don't win something for this season, it's a crime.
Euphoria was excellent last night.
City on a Hill was really good last night.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. i've caught up on the feeds, so i'm basically a show ahead of what they show on television now. i don't think people are really going to be happy with Cliff by Thursday.
the New York Yankees lost to Colorado yesterday, 8-4. i saw a stat after the game that they haven't won a game this month that James Paxton has started. they are 10-2 when someone else starts. interesting. they start a series tonight at Minnesota. could be a potential playoff preview. hopefully, they will destroy the Twins.
since the Yankees were playing like shit yesterday, i watched most of the Hall of Fame ceremonies.
the Red Scare lost to Carmen's Crew yesterday in The Basketball Tournament, 85-71. they simply just ran out of steam in the second half. hopefully, they will have a team again next season and have more players as well.

on the DVR tonight will be Divorce and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
it's been really gloomy here today. at least the humidity is way down from the weekend. hell, might even be able to turn the air off and open some windows soon.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
mom made biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. i then watched her stubborn ass try to get the biscuits out of the oven with just one hand and proceeded to dump them off the tray and on to the bottom of the oven. i walked over and watched her pick all of them up with tongs. i then said i will make sure in your eulogy to make sure people understand why i am a stubborn asshole. i told her not to complain to me today when her back is killing her when all she had to do was ask for help. this is why i refer to life as a circle. all of us eventually find the end of that circle. not many of us do it with any fucking grace.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i really need to get to Menards soon to get some suet for the birds and everything else that has been put on the list for the last few months.
i think i might have got somewhere near 5 hours of sleep last night. i'm just as shocked as you are.

i have been watching a lot of The Basketball Tournament on ESPN the last couple days. the Red Scare team is made up of some former Dayton basketball players. they will play Carmen's Crew later today. that team is made up of former Ohio State basketball players. so, it's going to be a 2014 rematch from the NCAA tournament. should be a good one.
the New York Yankees defeated Colorado yesterday, 11-5. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.
NJPW was excellent last night. i love the G1 tournament.
ROH was really good last night.

when i saw that the low was going to be 76 last night, i knew i wasn't going to have a chance in hell of getting any good sleep. sure enough, i got roughly 3 hours of sleep before i got up this morning to watch Manchester United play.
Manchester United won 1-0 over Inter Milan this morning over in Singapore. Mason Greenwood, who is all of 17 years old, scored the game winner. i really liked how United pressed in the game, always seemed to be on the front foot. if that is how they intend to play this season, i will be a happy man.
i had to take mom to the drugstore this morning. and then she wanted me to take her to get breakfast at McDonald's. it's hotter than fuck outside already.
the New York Yankees defeated Colorado last night, 8-2. hopefully, the train keeps rolling on this afternoon.

of course, just being out for a couple of hours, i am fucking drained from the heat.
the grocery store was pretty crowded this morning. i guess everyone had the same thought i did. figures.
the New York Yankees won both games of the doubleheader yesterday against Tampa. i give Aaron Boone a ton of credit for his savage verbal ass ripping of the home plate umpire in the first game. you could tell the team really responded after that. the Yankees won the first game 6-2 and the second game 5-1. they start a series with Colorado tonight. they have opened up a 8 game lead in the division now.
Holey Moley was stupid fun last night.
Big Brother went as expected last night. i loved the blindside and i love that Cliff won to stay in the house. then he went on to win HOH. this should be a fun week with the other side of the house finally in power.
