this will be the final blog for probably the next few weeks. mom broke her left hip last night when she fell in the kitchen. broke it in two spots. i went to the emergency room last night and she was in tremendous pain. i came back home when they said they didn't have a hospital room for her and wouldn't know until the morning. i got back home and got a whopping 2 1/2 hours of sleep. she's still in the emergency room. she's supposed to have surgery sometime today. they still haven't given her a time. i know when she gets back home she will 8 weeks of recovery. i will probably start doing the blog on a regular basis again when i get into my new routine with her.
thanks to everyone for the kind thoughts and well wishes.
until we meet again.
and thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
happy earth day to everyone, well, almost everyone. there is a rather large portion of assholes that fall into the let's use up everything we fucking can, deplete the planet, and then go fuck up the next one. those assholes have no damn clue what they are actually fucking doing to this planet.

i found out right before i fell asleep last night that the pope had died. i find it curious that one of the last pieces of shit to see him alive was J.D. Vance. now, i'm not saying one thing killed the other, just saying it is interesting. in a weird way, last night was full of tragedy. be it wrestling, tv shows, reality... damn.
night 2 of WrestleMania was damn near perfect. the show was much better paced than night 1. i liked the matches better. the Joe Hendry surprise was actually a surprise. it was great to see Becky Lynch back. then, the main event started. Cena's win over Cody felt completely anticlimactic. now, i have learned to let everything play out before casting judgement, but this certainly fell flat. and i know in wrestling history, when your main event falls flat, it takes away from the whole show.
The Last of Us last night was shocking, mostly because i didn't know what was coming since i never played the video game.
The Americas last night was the behind the scenes of how they made the show. that was fascinating to watch.
The Righteous Gemstones was hilarious last night. just two episodes left.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:
Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Wolves, 1-0.
the Yankees won 4-0 yesterday against Tampa Bay. i couldn't believe the official scorer took away the no hitter that Max Fried was working on. and i couldn't believe the umpires and the replay booth took away a home run from Aaron Judge that was clearly fair. the Yankees start a series tonight in Cleveland.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix. the Raw after WrestleMania is always a crazy one.
below are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i do love that today happens to be 4/20 and Easter. they go hand in hand most of the time.
night 1 of WrestleMania was good. a few surprises, probably nothing bigger than what happened in the pre-show. WWE has purchased the Mexican promotion AAA. that floored me. i have always been a fan of lucha libre and can only hope that the WWE machine will make it even bigger. as for the matches, i love that Jey Uso won the title. the Paul Heyman double backstab to end up with Seth Rollins was very good. hopefully, it will be even better tonight.
earlier in the day, NXT Stand & Deliver was really good.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

WrestleMania 41 is this weekend. since i have seen every WrestleMania, i don't plan on ending that streak anytime soon. so, plenty of the next few blogs will have enough wrestling talk to drive you mad. i totally get it if you skip all that to find the other stuff. but, if you are interested in it, enjoy.
before i get to any of that, here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
Smackdown was excellent last night.
the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony was good last night. it was long as fuck, but i figured it would be.
the Yankees won last night against Tampa Bay, 1-0. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

i heard back from Mad Swirl on my poetry submission from back in January. my poem "old poets" has been accepted for publication. it should appear on the site on April 23, 2025.
when Manchester United was up 2-0 at halftime yesterday, i felt pretty confident. when they were down 4-2 in extra time against Lyon (playing with 10 men), i felt horrible. then, Casemiro got fouled in the box. Bruno scored the penalty kick. then, Casemiro and Bruno made a great little passing play to Kobbie Mainoo to make it 4-4. one minute after that, Casemiro made the perfect pass to Harry Maguire to head in the winner. 3 goals in 7 minutes. holy shit. one of the craziest games i can remember. first European game to have 5 goals scored in extra time. United won 5-4 and 7-6 on aggregate. they advance to the semifinals of the Europa League.
the New York Rangers won last night at home against Tampa Bay, 4-0. that wraps up the season and Sam Rosen's 40th year as the tv broadcaster of the team. i thought it was a nice touch to announce Sam as the #1 star of the game.
the New York Yankees won last night over Tampa Bay, 6-3. hopefully, they will do that again tonight.
AEW Collision was ok last night.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony is late tonight on Peacock.
here are your 2 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
i will probably watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight. Miami plays Atlanta and Dallas plays Memphis. winners gets the 8th seed, the losers will be playing golf soon.
you know how much i love doing a surprise load of laundry in the morning? good friday my ass.
i guess Orkin is supposed to be here at noon and mom has physical therapy at 3:15 this afternoon.
i will be on here in the morning tomorrow, before NXT starts in the afternoon.

i heard back from Alan at Misfit Magazine on my recent poetry submission. my poems "bent spoons on the floor" and "before the night gets going" have been accepted for publication.
so, i was getting ready to write this about a hour ago. that was until i heard mom scream from her room. i went in and turned on the light and asked what was wrong? she started complaining about all the people in her room, etc. i told her she is once again hallucinating and thinking her dreams are reality. i explain to her all the time this is the byproduct of not doing any drugs while growing up in the 60's.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
the Yankees won last night at home to sweep the Royals, 4-3. they start a series tonight at Tampa.

i actually got more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm guessing i must have found a slot where my pinched nerve didn't bother me. or, the rye whiskey did the trick.
the New York Rangers won last night at Florida, 5-3. it was the first time all season they had a multi-goal comeback. sure, do it after you are eliminated from playoff contention.
the New York Yankees won last night at home against the Royals, 4-1.
The Voice was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was great last night. WrestleMania is this weekend.

Manchester United lost yesterday at Newcastle, 4-1. i figured they would lose yesterday, i was just hoping they wouldn't have any injuries. silly me.
the Yankees pissed away a 3-0 lead yesterday and lost at home to the Giants, 5-4. they start a series tonight at home against the Royals.
i did watch a good portion of The Masters yesterday.
the season finale of The Americas was excellent last night.
the season finale of Yellowjackets was insane last night.

i almost had a feeling that the New York Rangers were going to find a way yesterday to stay alive in the playoff chase. i quickly saw how foolish that thought was after the first 40 minutes. they lost at Carolina yesterday, 7-3. that eliminates them from the chance to make the playoffs. they are the 4th team to win the President's trophy the previous year and miss the playoffs the next. the Rangers have actually done that twice now. the last time they did it, they won the Stanley Cup the next season. oh, if only history could fucking repeat itself.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
i did watch the college hockey final last night.
AEW Collision was good last night.

Manchester United plays at Newcastle today. i would love if United pulls a surprise today.
i'm sure i will watch plenty of sports today.
i also hope to get some more sleep.
mom wanted me to cook breakfast this morning. i made some bacon and cheesy eggs, with toast. i joked that she better get up early if she wanted it. amazingly, she was up and in her chair in the living room by 6 AM. i laughed.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday.

i was up at 6:30 this morning, in pain as usual. after i took my blood sugar, i got some ice and got in my massage chair. i think i got a good 90 minute nap in. that helped a great deal.
the Yankees lost last night at home to the Giants, 9-1, in 6 rain soaked innings. hopefully, they will play better today.
Smackdown was very good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.

i will probably watch plenty of sports today while icing my back. i figure if i can get my spine to freeze that will limit the amount of pain the pinched nerve can do.

i just sent out 11 poems... 3 each to The Beatnik Cowboy and Misfit Magazine; 5 to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
so, i guess i really needed some sleep last night as i just completely passed out in my massage chair around 12:15. i woke up at 3:53 and was shocked. i didn't even do mom's eyes before she fell asleep. i apologized to her this morning about that. as usual, i'm guessing it was the gin.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
the New York Rangers won last night at the Islanders, 9-2. they won all 4 games this season against the Islanders for the first time in over 20 years.

the Yankees play tonight at home against the Giants.
so, i wrote 2 poems yesterday while mom was doing physical therapy. i typed those up after i watched the second half of the Manchester United game.
it was 1-1 when i started watching. United took a late lead and i honestly thought they could see the game out. silly me. they gave up a goal at the death of the game, 96th minute. 2-2 in the first leg against Lyon in the Europa League. second leg will be next week at Old Trafford.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
