up too early on a Sunday...

 so, i had the pleasure of fucking my back up last night. i went to Lowe's to get mom the top soil she wanted. it was pretty easy getting them into the Highlander. the problem was helping mom plant her flowers. i lifted the bag up and felt my lower back tell me to fuck off. the rest of the night was ice bags and misery. thankfully, mom gave me the out from having to cook last night. and for the first time in weeks, Pizza Hut had the chicken wings she loves.

the start of a long weekend...

 so, roughly 10 minutes after i got this blog done yesterday, mom was in the bathroom puking. needless to say, she didn't go to her foot doctor yesterday. i called and told them what was going on. they understood and were really cool with cancelling. now i need to make sure mom reschedules that appointment soon. mom and i had a long talk last night. her memory has gone to complete shit anymore, so she has to write everything down. and i mean everything, like when to wake up, what to do when she does, when to take her nap, etc. so, my smart ass told her to write down to remember to breathe and stop procrastinating. that didn't go over well. but, she did actually sleep some last night. i didn't hear any outbursts from her at 3 or 4 in the morning, so i was able to get some sleep as well. apparently not enough though, as i put some ice on my back this afternoon and slept 2 more hours. that basically screwed up the timing of what i wanted to get done today. so, i'm guessing i am going to try to get a hair cut sometime tomorrow. or maybe next week.


Manchester United defeated Chelsea yesterday, 4-1. they will be in the Champions League next year. they play Fulham at home on Sunday to end the regular season. they also have the FA Cup final coming up as well.



the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Baltimore, 3-1. they start a series tonight at home against San Diego.






here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Being Mary Tyler Moore and Sarah Silverman: We Are Miracles. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


i should be on here in the morning tomorrow as WWE Night of Champions starts at noon tomorrow.



i think mom is finally ready to plant the flowers she got nearly a week ago. i told her she might want to get them planted before they die. as you might imagine, i'm not much on flowers, etc. hell, i don't even care for the plastic ones.


if you are traveling this Memorial Day weekend, please be safe. since it is the unofficial start of the summer, you know all the crazy motherfuckers will be out and about.


i had to run to the local grocery store today to get some potato salad and macaroni salad for the weekend. i got a really nice pork tenderloin that should give us multiple meals for the weekend.


i got my order from Walk Off Wax today. i did get some pretty nice baseball cards in the packs. a decent rookie slab as well.


i need to figure out dinner tonight, so that's all for me kids.


until tomorrow morning...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

burning the candle at both ends...

 my mother tends to forget that i don't go to sleep until i know she is asleep. well, for the past few nights, she has been waking up at 3 in the morning and then again at 4 in the morning. i'm guessing either bad dreams or she is mistaking dreams for reality again; spiders crawling on her, etc. so, last night i basically said fuck it and stayed awake. and when she had her little outburst at 4, i turned the light on in the hallway. she asked if i was still awake and i said of course, i don't go to sleep until someone else decides they want to stay asleep. she didn't even remember herself waking up at 3 AM. so, after a few minutes i could hear her snoring. my cue to actually try to fall asleep. so, i was asleep by 5 AM. up at 8 for no good fucking reason. i eventually got out of bed around 10:30 this morning. mom is sort of awake. hopefully, she will be awake by the time i get her to her doctor's appointment today.


the New York Yankees pissed away a lead last night and lost to Baltimore at home, 9-6. hopefully they will win the series tonight.




here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.



AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.



both episodes of Mayans M.C. last night were excellent.



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:

Manchester United plays today at home against Chelsea. all United needs is 1 point to clinch a spot in the Champions League next season. hopefully, they will get all 3 points today.




i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight.


we had a cold front move through here last night. nothing like the temperature dropping nearly 40 degrees.


i have no clue when i will be on here Friday. i know mom wants to go out shopping. i'm hoping she feels up to doing that after her appointment today. i would love to go to Big Lots and get my hair cut tomorrow.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

goodbye to a legend...

 i grew up in a house that whether i liked it or not, i was going to listen to Tina Turner's music. now, i didn't mind her music as i liked it and i found her to be a very beautiful woman. i was in the ice cream aisle of Kroger today when my phone started going nuts. i must have got about 40 notices at once. all of them were about Tina Turner dying at the age of 83. part of me was stunned. part of me immediately started playing her music in my head. she was an absolute legend and will be missed by millions. goodbye to the queen of rock and roll.










the New York Yankees were down 4-0 last night to Baltimore. thankfully, this team has found its spine. they roared back to tie the game at 4. they trailed again until Aaron Judge homered in the bottom of the 9th. Volpe hit a sac fly in the 10th for the win, 6-5.








here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.



here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.



part 2 of the season finale of The Voice was really just a long ass goodbye to Blake Shelton. what made it hilarious for me was when Gina Miles won the show and she was on team Niall.

so, it has been a day...

 mom made me give her a COVID test today. i did the test on her and after 10 minutes, i let her know that she was negative. i get the feeling she is depressed yet doesn't know why. and i have been dealing with depression for so long, i tell her all the things i see. of course, i don't do it in a way that she finds supporting or uplifting, so i'm not sure how much she takes what i'm saying to heart. honestly, i sometimes think she is just looking for someone to tell her what she wants to hear. i understand that. i never really search for that in my life. i'm more interested in the ones that will tell me the hard truths and give me some thoughts on how i could make something better. i have learned in 47 years to check my ego at the door at times. i know if i never learned that, i would be dead by now. especially given how this country is now.


so yeah, there is a level of frustration in the house from one side that you can feel it. and as much as i will help my mother i know, this is something that she has to take the initiative to actually want the help. i'm very much a do something about it or just accept it kind of person. mom is so entrenched in her procrastination that i'm not sure she actually knows how to deal with any mental shit without just pushing it away to deal with it later. as much as i tell her that will come back to bite her in the end, she keeps on doing it. as you can imagine, nothing but fun times here. as one photo in the house says, we put the fun in dysfunction.


part 1 of the finale of The Voice last night was excellent. i have no damn clue who is going to win. i know tonight will be Blake Shelton's last night, so i'm expecting a shit ton of nostalgia.










Monday Night Raw was good last night.
