the joy of back pain...

 remember how i was going to have the blog done before my sister got down here, etc. etc... well, the joy of a bad back is when that happens, your day just turns to shit. 

now, i did manage to get the poems out this morning. i sent out 11 poems; 3 each to Terror House Magazine and The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 poems to Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication). when i hear back from the other places, i will pass along the verdicts.

so, the Yankees got swept last night, losing yet again to the Toronto, 6-4. the Yankees now are clinging to a playoff spot by 1/2 game. they are on fucking life support. they start a series tonight at the Mets, and given what tomorrow is, it should an emotional roller coaster.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Big Brother went as i expected it to last night. Claire got evicted and then Alyssa went in the second eviction. so, The Cookout is the final 6, all of whom are black. i don't mind that at all, but i can't remember Big Brother ever having 6 minorities on the show ever to begin with, so what they did was never possible before. now, it will be fun to watch them have to destroy each other.

Holey Moley was great last night.

When Nature Calls was hilarious last night.

What We Do in the Shadows was crazy last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was the sneak peek of the new episodes starting next week.

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.

so, not only is tomorrow the 20th anniversary of 9/11 it is also a crazy fucking sports day for me. Manchester United will play in the morning and that will mark the glorious (hopefully) return to the club of CR7. after that game, the Ohio State vs. Oregon game will be on. so, i am really going to try to get the blog done before all of that starts tomorrow. if not, it will come after it is all done.

my sister brought me some hockey cards she found. she paid $5 for them. i paid her the $5 and there was about $20 worth of cards in the packs. that made me pretty happy.

so, mom wanted me to go out with her to check on the tomatoes this afternoon. of course, i look away to pick some of the cherry tomatoes and she falls down somehow into the grass. this shit frustrates the living shit out of me. i try to explain to her, she can't do more than one thing at a time. and i mean it that exact way. if you are going to think, then do that first. then walk. you can't do both at the same time. i'm just happy she didn't fall on the concrete porch as i'm sure she would have broken something. my sister came out when she heard me say god dammit as loud as i could. good times.

i am going to make some burgers for dinner tonight. i have no clue if my sister will be eating dinner with us or her friends. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend. 

until tomorrow kids...
