3 down, 13 to go...

 the New York Rangers won last night at home, 5-2, to force a Game 7 tomorrow night at New Jersey. i'm hoping what they found last night carries over to Monday night.

here are your two videos for the last day of National Poetry Month:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees lost last night at Texas, 2-0. hopefully, they will avoid the sweep today.

i did watch some of the MLS last night.

i finally got to see Moonage Daydream last night. we started watching it and the rain knocked out the satellite after 30 minutes. thankfully, i remembered that it was on demand, so we watched it from there. it was absolutely amazing. if you haven't seen it already, i urge you to do so.

the NFL Draft concluded yesterday. i am pretty happy with what the New Orleans Saints did.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Succession, Barry, Somebody Somewhere, Last Week Tonight, Power Book II: Ghost and Waco: The Aftermath.

the New York Knicks are playing Game 1 of their series against Miami today at home. they are winning 55-50 at halftime.

i do plan on watching some of Game 7 between Golden State and Sacramento this afternoon.

there are two Game 7's in the NHL playoffs today. Florida at Boston and Seattle at Colorado. if i get really lucky and the 4 guys i picked to score today do so, i will win over $100. 

i need to go to Rite Aid and pick up some pills.

hard to believe we are at the end of April already.

Manchester United defeated Aston Villa today, 1-0. i woke up just in time to see Bruno score for United. 

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

 the guy who mows our grass was out here this morning. even without checking the forecast, i immediately thought it must be going to rain later today. sure enough, there is about a 70% chance of rain. joy.

i did watch a little bit of day 2 of the NFL Draft last night. the draft concludes later today.

mom's appointment with her back doctor went well yesterday. they were very pleased that her last injection provided some relief and that she is really doing well in physical therapy. she gets her next injection after her birthday in June.

the Orkin guy showed up a little early yesterday. he seems to be a pretty cool dude. big into sports, Charles Bukowski and Run The Jewels. i can imagine we're going to have some interesting conversations. what he put out for the ants worked immediately, so i'm hoping all those fuckers will be gone soon.

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

AEW Rampage was very good last night:

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking great last night.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

nothing but rain...

 i'm pretty sure it rained all night. that made for a restless fucking time. i woke up at 9 this morning and my bed looked like a crime scene. i know that meant it was nothing but tossing and turning. good times.

the New York Rangers lost last night at New Jersey, 4-0. the Devils now lead the series 3-2. Game 6 is Saturday night at MSG.

i did watch a good portion of the first round of the NFL Draft last night. i'm sure i will watch some of that tonight as well.

mom has an appointment with her back doctor this afternoon. after that, Orkin will be here sometime later this afternoon.

it looks like the rain has stopped for now. i know that won't last.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

hello anger, it's me again...

 i really thought this was going to be a day where i would be feeling great. the NFL Draft is today, the Yankees won yesterday, the Knicks got out of the first round for the first time in a decade and Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime. then, i found some more fucking ants in the kitchen and it all turned to shit. my back is killing me. mom is out walking by herself, so my anxiety is raging a bit. 

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Knicks won last night at Cleveland, 106-95. they won the series, 4-1. they will play the Miami Heat in the next round.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

AEW Dynamite was very good last night, as was AEW All Access.

The Masked Singer was crazy last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon and NJPW.

i will probably watch some of the NFL Draft tonight. the New Orleans Saints pick late in the first round. i'm definitely interested to see where the Ohio State guys go tonight.

the New York Rangers play a pivotal Game 5 tonight at New Jersey. the series is tied 2-2.

the New York Yankees start a series tonight down in Texas at the Rangers. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.

so, i was pretty happy when Manchester United was up 2-0 at Tottenham at halftime. even when Tottenham made it 2-1, i figured United would score a third goal and see it out. Bruno hit the fucking crossbar and that was about as close as United came to that third goal. ETH's substitutions didn't click today and honestly, they played a role in the 2-2 draw. what truly pisses me off about the two points dropped today, they knew if they won, the top 4 was basically a given for them. now, that is not the case. 

i am going to try to get this blog done in the morning tomorrow. mom has a doctor's appointment in the afternoon and Orkin is coming in the early evening.

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 off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

response from Synchronized Chaos

 i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "bomb threat", "been tricked so many times before", "before desperation becomes...", "a morphine drip" and "burden" have been accepted for publication.

quite the busy day...

 so, we had a plumber out here this morning. turns out our flange on our toilet was cracked. the plumber said it was an easy fix and he was gone in just over a hour. they picked up the trash late, so that made it fun driving in town. it was like a fucking obstacle course. the cards i ordered from Etsy got here sooner than i was expecting. they were mostly NBA cards, plus a few baseball cards and old WCW wrestling cards. all in all, i think i got my money's worth. i did get all the grocery shopping done. got home in time to watch a little soccer, walk with my mother outside and write a poem down that came to me when i was driving today listening to the radio. thankfully, the sun was out today.

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees lost last night at the Twins, 6-2. that meant the Twins won their first season series against the Yankees since 2001. apparently, that must have pissed off the Yankees, as they won the game this afternoon, 12-6. the Yankees play tomorrow night in Texas against the Rangers.

the house of insomnia...

 so, i didn't get to bed until 5 AM. i did the dishes after i watched the shows last night and then sent those poems out. eventually, my brain gave up and i fell asleep around 5. little did i know, mom didn't fall asleep until around 5 as well. so, when i was chowing down breakfast at 11:30 this morning, knowing that i had to get her to her physical therapy at 1 this afternoon; she was on the phone cancelling her appointment as most of her breakfast ended up as vomit in the trash can. i was getting ready when she told me she wasn't going. that set off a nice chain of events with my body, as i tried to slow all the processes down, if you know what i mean. that didn't work. so, after a few memorable moments on the toilet, i took a nap this afternoon and think i'm back on the tracks. as for my mother, i think she is still asleep. i figure she needs it.

here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i did do a little poetry work today. i will be sending some poems out tonight, most likely.

the New York Rangers lost last night at home to the Devils, 2-1, in OT. i was hoping the Rangers would play like they did on the road. sadly, they fell back into the same old mistakes, turning down shots, trying to put on a show for the fans. and now New Jersey has life in the series. great.
