so, i wanted to get up early this morning so i could get a few things done (feeding the birds, etc.). i went to bed at 1:30 AM, which is a few hours earlier than i normally try to fall asleep. but, my inner child wasn't tired, so the words started coming to me. i have been in a pretty damn good writing mode this month, and sometimes it just happens like this. once i got a few stanzas into it, i knew i better write this shit down. and holy shit, i think i ended up writing my favorite poem EVER. add that to the other 4 poems i wrote while my mother was in physical therapy and i know i will have some poems to send out for submissions in early July.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at Oakland, 10-4. they start a series tonight at St. Louis.
NJPW was really good last night.
i did watch some of both Gold Cup games last night.
i did go to Rite Aid today to pick up my prescriptions. hats off to the young woman working the counter at the pharmacy as she found both of them in the mess they have going on there. of course, the one i needed is on order. of course.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Painting with John. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the air quality got a little better here today. thankfully.
i guess i will probably watch some of the Gold Cup games tonight as well.
i should be on here tomorrow before WWE Money in the Bank comes on in the afternoon tomorrow from London.
it seems like this month has flown by. i hope everyone enjoys the last day of June. the silly season with free agency is getting ready to really begin. i hope Manchester United, the New York Rangers, the New York Knicks and Sacramento Kings do well, at least for my own sake.
until tomorrow kids...

so, i was paying attention to the Yankees game while i was watching other things last night. when it got to the 7th inning, i was like well, i need to flip over. by that time, Domingo German was 7 innings into a perfect game. i watched the last two innings wondering which Yankee was going to fuck this up. thankfully, that didn't happen. Domingo German threw the 24th perfect game in major league history. it was also the 4th one in Yankees history. i think he gave up like 17 runs in his last 2 starts, so to say this was unexpected is an understatement. after the game last night, Domingo let it be known his uncle died 2 days ago and this game was for him. the Yankees can win the series this afternoon.
the USMNT won last night in the Gold Cup, 6-0. they play Trinidad & Tobago on Sunday.
AEW Dynamite was really good last night.
Mayans M.C. was great last night.
enjoy some music:

i think mom wants to go looking for some new shoes after her physical therapy this afternoon. of course, there is also a chance of rain today, so there's just as much of a chance she will change her mind.
i do hope i'll get some poems written while she is in physical therapy.
i did watch some of the NHL Draft last night. i am thrilled with the New York Rangers pick.
i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.

i was really hoping to have the blog done hours before now. but, i never know just when my back is going to tell me to fuck off. this afternoon was one of those times. so, everything got pushed back a few hours. so yeah, now i get to be the asshole trying to make up for lost time. so, i should be watching the NHL Draft right now, but i'm doing this instead while streaming the draft on my phone. joy.
grocery shopping went well today, just took fucking forever. of course, when the air quality is god fucking awful...
the Yankees lost last night at the A's, 2-1. thank god i didn't watch much of that.

not much sunshine today at all. the haze from the fires was back again. after mom's visit to the podiatrist, we went to Lowe's. she found some succulents that she liked. they finally had some snake plants, which mom loves, but she didn't want any of the ones they had. we also looked at dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators, etc. for the potential kitchen remodel.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
i went to the bank today, the post office and then to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i was in the parking lot when i got text from mom saying that her pills were ready at Kroger and she had cancelled physical therapy today. so, i went back to Kroger to get those. after that, i went back home. it has been trying to rain all day long. just in the last few hours, it has finally started.
the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday and beat the Texas Rangers, 5-3. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at Oakland.
AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door last night was fucking great.
VICE was excellent last night.
The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
i did listen to episode 453 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear that by going here:
my poems "further away", "for over thirty years", "tripping the night away" and "without ever having to wait in line" have been published at Lothlorien Poetry Journal. you can read the poems by going here:
i had a cramp in my leg this morning at 5 AM. between that and the rain overnight, joy...i was hoping to get up early and feed the birds this morning as we're supposed to have storms tonight. oh well.
the USMNT tied Jamaica last night, 1-1, in the Gold Cup. considering the USA trailed for most of the game, salvaging a point out of it was better than what i was expecting.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at home against the Texas Rangers, 1-0. hopefully, they can win the series today.
AEW Collision was excellent last night.
i did catch a little of the MLS games last night.
enjoy some music:

i heard back from Cristina at Synchronized Chaos on my recent poetry submission. my poems "lifetimes ago", "a hamster wheel", "the years apart", "in hindsight" and "be careful what you wish for" have been accepted for publication.
today has been a long one. i got my usual 4 hours of sleep, but it has been raining on and off for most of the day. so, my arthritis has been fucking raging. joy. i did take mom to get her injection. after that, i had to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. amazingly, the guy that mows our lawn found a dry hour to get that done today.
the New York Yankees lost last night at home to Seattle, 10-2. they start a series tonight at home against the Texas Rangers.
the guy that came out to give us an estimate for our kitchen seemed pretty cool. if we go with him, the kitchen will look very different than it does now. i'm not opposed to that.
NJPW was really good last night.
i did watch the NBA Draft last night. i was so happy with pick #52...

i just sent out 13 poems, 5 each to Synchronized Chaos and Horror Sleaze Trash, and 3 poems to The Beatnik Cowboy. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
i really didn't want to get out of bed this morning. i got somewhere around 5 hours of sleep, which is an eternity to me anymore. but, i didn't get any poems written last night. i chose sleep instead. so, i'm very interested to see what i write today while mom is in physical therapy.
the Yankees won again last night, defeating Seattle, 4-2. they will go for the sweep of the series tonight.

so, my doctor's appointment didn't go well yesterday. my A1C is still too fucking high. so, they are changing my Trulicity yet again. i'm hoping this time it will work as expected. also, my blood pressure was up. i tend to believe that my stress level is through the fucking roof anymore, so that is to blame for all of this. my weight was down, so that was probably the only positive. and, now i'm waiting for a doctor's office to call and schedule my colonoscopy. given that i have colon cancer on both sides of my family, i can't wait to get this done. i mean, i'm already 99% sure what is going to kill me one day. fuck, might as well make it 100%. so yeah, not exactly what i was hoping for.
the New York Yankees won last night over Seattle, 3-1. hopefully, they will do it again tonight.

congrats to The King on being elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame today.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.
the grocery shopping today took forever. mom's gut is messing with her again so she is trying a new diet out. and i spent most of today trying to find shit i have never heard of before let alone bought before. so yeah, that was fun.
i will hopefully get some poems written tonight and tomorrow afternoon. i really want to get some more submissions out by the weekend.
