riding the waves of pain...

 so, i managed to get a decent amount of sleep last night. i'm thinking that was due to the alcohol from the Yankees actually fucking winning a game. the pinched nerve in my neck and right shoulder does like to be an attention whore most of the time. but, i am an old pro at riding the waves of pain. 

the Yankees won last night in Anaheim, 7-4. Aaron Judge hit his 51st HR of the season. he is 11 away now from setting the Yankees and American League record. hopefully, the Yankees will win the series tonight.

NXT was fucking great last night.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

What We Do in the Shadows was hilarious last night. the season finale is next week.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW Dynamite, Big Brother and two episodes of Welcome to Wrexham.

the grocery stores were a bit crowded today but i was able to get everything on the list.

now, i need to go cut down some tomato plants that were awful this year. way too hot and way too much humidity for any good tomatoes. i told mom we should only get 1 tomato plant next year and just grow roses in the other containers we have.

hopefully, i can get that done pretty quick. then, take a shower, make dinner and sit down for a night in front of the television.

of course, i'll need ice galore after i get all that done.

i think mom has a dental appointment tomorrow. i'm going to try to get the blog done before that, so i should be on here in the morning.

that will also be before Manchester United plays.

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:

and here comes a bit of anger...

 so, today was cut down day in the NFL. i was not happy when i saw the news today of the Saints trade with the Eagles. but, i do understand that the NFL is a business. i'm just hoping this isn't one of those trades that comes back to bite them in the ass.

the Yankees lost last night to the Angels, 4-3. Judge hit his 50th home run last night. he joins Ruth and Mantle as the only Yankees to ever hit 50 in a season twice. the lead in the division is down to 7 games.

Monday Night Raw was good last night.

Industry was very good last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Deadliest Catch, What We Do in the Shadows and Hard Knocks.

i did take mom to get her hair cut today. i know she feels much better now as she has wanted to get that done for awhile. thankfully, the weather and everything else aligned today and i was able to take her to Great Clips and not have to wait forever.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

i need to get the trash picked up and ready to take out. and i probably should ice my back before i make dinner.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

that late summer heat...

 i always love walking outside and it feels like you just stepped into a bowl of soup. the rain we were supposed to get today hasn't happened yet. joy.

so, i didn't watch much of the Yankees game yesterday. i really don't feel like watching them when they are playing like shit. they lost to a A's team that probably couldn't beat a wet paper bag on most nights, 4-1. they start a series tonight in Anaheim against the Angels. the lead in the division is down to 7 1/2 games. 

i did watch some of the MLS games yesterday:

Big Brother was good last night. 

VICE was excellent last night.

The Chi was really good last night. the season finale is next week.

City on a Hill was great last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was good last night.

enjoy some music:

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon i suppose.

it looks like, as usual, Manchester United is waiting until the end of the transfer window to do most of their business.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

the Yankees had more errors than hits last night. how the fuck do you play 11 innings of baseball and have 1 fucking hit? they lost to the shitty A's, 3-2, in 11 innings. the Yankees were up 2-0 in the 10th, but they pissed that lead away. they will go for the series win this afternoon.

i did watch a few MLS games yesterday:

and a few college football games as well:

i'm glad i went to the grocery store yesterday. it is supposed to be 90 fucking degrees today.

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 and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

i'm sure i will watch some soccer and some baseball today.

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.

i must have got just enough sun...

 i slept a little later than i wanted to this morning. i missed most of the first half of the Manchester United game. more on that later.

i did get most of what i was looking for yesterday at Menards. i've changed all the birdfeeders here to ones containing suet. so far, it seems like the birds have found the new ones i put up yesterday.

the Yankees won last night over the A's, 3-2. Aaron Judge hit his 49th home run of the season last night. that 3 run shot gave the Yankees all the runs they needed. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

so, i watched the second half of Manchester United at Southampton this morning. i wasn't thrilled with how United played. especially when Bruno scored to put United up 1-0. they basically went into a shell and defended the rest of the game. amazingly, they did win, 1-0. first road win in god knows when. i'll gladly take the 3 points. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

college football gets going today. i'm sure i will watch a few games today, as well as some soccer and baseball.

the Saints won last night at home over the Chargers, 27-10. the season starts for them on Sept. 11th at Atlanta.

i need to go to Rite Aid and the local grocery store today. mom needs a few things at Rite Aid and i need to get some stuff at the grocery store so this gravy i have won't go to waste.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning.

hard to believe August is almost over with.

 so, i decided i would do the blog first today. mostly because my mother said she wanted to take a shower while i was home. i figured this way, she can take one and i'm just in the next room. of course, as of right now, she has changed her mind. good times.

Vice News Tonight had two excellent episodes this week.

the Yankees defeated Oakland last night, 13-4. hopefully, they will do it again tonight.

Big Brother was good last night. Jasmine and Joseph both got sent to the jury house. i believe that Turner is the new HOH.

NJPW was really good last night.

both episodes of Little Demon last night were fucking hilarious.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New Orleans Saints play tonight at home against the Chargers.

i need to get going to Menards. i have a ton of things to look for, mostly suet for the birds and prices for flooring, etc. for the new bathroom mom wants to do in her room.

i should be on here tomorrow after a trip to Menards. of course, if i get up early enough and feel good, i could do the blog before i go.

hard to believe what i saw...

 so, i thought i was being optimistic thinking Manchester United could get a draw yesterday against Liverpool. it was one of the rare occasions in my life where i was so fucking happy to be wrong. United played on the front foot from the start and were absolutely the more aggressive team. where the fuck has this been this season? now, full credit to ETH for dropping CR7 and Harry Maguire. the team looked way better without them. goals from Sancho and Rashford. United beat Liverpool, 2-1. that was the first time United has beat them in 4 1/2 years. hopefully, this game will serve as the moment Manchester United became Manchester United again.

the Yankees beat the Mets last night, 4-2. that was the first time the Yankees have won two games in a row in almost a month. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

Monday Night Raw was amazing last night. the Johnny Gargano return truly shocked me. the best thing about HHH running things now is it actually feels like anything could fucking happen at any time. that is what makes pro wrestling fun.

Industry was very good last night.

i want to believe the only way to go is up...

 i didn't sleep well last night. i think i must have fallen asleep in my bed with my neck in some crazy ass position. when i got up at 5 to piss, my neck was killing me. so, i went and got some ice and tried to sleep in my massage chair. broken at best...

the Yankees won yesterday against Toronto, 4-2. they start a two game series at home tonight against the Mets. they really need to start winning some games.

i did catch some of the Columbus Crew game last night.
