so damn hot...

 the heat today was oppressive for sure. it was classic Ohio in the summer, but it felt like an August heat. the air you can wear. and it was like that from the moment i woke up. of course, i didn't fall asleep to almost 5 in the fucking morning. i was hoping i would get some poems written but that never happened last night. one thing that happens to me in the summer is i have so much other shit i am interested in, the poet in me tends to get lost in the shuffle. every once in a while, i have to blow up that fucker's ego and just go for it. of course, i would love to not have to jump through any fucking hoops. but that utopia has always been foreign to me.

so, the doctor's appointment went well yesterday. my weight was down. my A1C was down. my blood pressure was perfect. hell, the appointment was shorter than the drive there. i will have to do some bloodwork and a urine sample before my next appointment. that is in September. 

the baseball cards from Repacked Wax yesterday were excellent. i spent a little under $40 on the 10 packs. there was close to $80 worth of cards in them. that is why i keep buying from them. the best card in the packs was a 1973 Topps Tom Seaver. 

the Yankees lost last night down at that dump in Tampa, 5-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

i did watch some of the NHL awards last night. Igor Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy. i have a feeling it won't be the last time he wins it.

NXT was pretty good last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and AEW Dynamite.

Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.

the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i was able to keep the bill under $100 at Kroger today. that was a minor miracle.

mom's injection worked for the most part. she knows it can't take away all the pain, but it has taken away a good portion of it.

she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning so i won't be trying to squeeze it in tomorrow night.

there are storms all around us but no rain here as i am writing this. but my arthritis doesn't know that. fuck me.

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 socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

tengo algunos días en los que no disfruto el dolor

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...
