i didn't wake up this morning until 10 AM. in one sense, i do need the sleep (almost 5 hours). in another sense, getting closer to my dream death of in my sleep. so yeah, i believe the summer doldrums are upon us.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when i got the alert (maybe 30 of them total) that Sinead O'Connor was dead. a flood of memories hit me. i remember when i first saw her video for Nothing Compares 2 U and immediately thought of my girlfriend at the time, whom i am still friends with to this day. growing up an artsy kid who kind of hid that part of his life at times because of the love of sports, etc., Sinead's music always had a place in my soul. this news today really hit me much harder than i thought it would. may you finally be at peace.
Manchester United U-21 team lost to Wrexham last night, 3-1. i feel really bad for Paul Mullin. he got a punctured lung last night from a boneheaded challenge from United's goalie. United's first team plays tonight in Houston against Real Madrid.
the Yankees lost to the Mets last night, 9-3. i doubt i watch much of the game tonight.
i did catch some of the Leagues Cup last night.
NXT was good last night.
Dark Side of the Ring was about Bam Bam Bigelow last night. he was one of my all-time favorites.
i did watch Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge when i got home from the grocery store today. it was crazy as usual.

the USWNT takes on the Netherlands tonight in the Women's World Cup.
the Red Scare plays tonight in the TBT. i believe that will be on ESPN+.
i'm waiting to get the second text from the eye doctor so i can get my new glasses and sunglasses. i got the first one today. i really don't want to make two trips in this heat. the heat index today was over 100.
i have absolutely no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

the Yankees lost last night to Seattle, 8-6. they will hopefully win the series this afternoon, but i won't be holding my breath.
after the game, i heard about the death of Vin Scully. that is a voice that still rings in my head from watching many baseball and football games in my youth.
NXT was really good last night.
Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:

i didn't watch the TBT final last night. at least the Red Scare lost to the team that won the championship.
mom has a doctor's appointment for tomorrow morning. so, i'll probably do the blog when we get home from that.
ok kids, i'm off to do the grocery shopping. the real feel temp outside right now is 98. i guess i'll put on some sunscreen today.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i got to bed sometime around 4 this morning. i was finally falling asleep in my massage chair around 5 when i heard something fall in the house. i immediately put my glasses on and started lowering my chair to see what the fuck was up. i turned on the hall light and i saw my mother, flat on her back, in the doorway to her bedroom. i rushed to her and she was still alive, at least. she was sleepwalking, the best term i can think of at the moment, and of course, wasn't near her rollator at all. i had to more or less wake her up into reality, which it took her a good 20 minutes to figure out. i eventually got her back into bed. it didn't appear to me that she was bleeding anywhere or had a concussion, amazingly. i was hoping to go back to sleep, but of course, that didn't happen. eventually, i did get a good nap later in the morning. of course, mom told me when i woke up that she could have got a doctor's appointment at noon, but she didn't want to wake me up. i didn't say anything, but i really wish she would have woke me up. i thanked her for the preview of her death that she is constantly giving me more often these days. that's 3 falls in the last 3 weeks, and 8 falls in the last 3 months. i'm really hoping she can find a neurologist that her insurance accepts so we can figure out what truly is going on. i don't want to have a situation where she dies needlessly and then an autopsy shows it was something that was fucking treatable. so yeah, that has been most of my today. good times.
the Yankees only got two hits last night. thankfully, one of those was a walk off home run from Aaron Judge to win over the Royals, 1-0. that is his 3rd walk off home run this season, tying the team record by Mickey Mantle in 1959.
Vice News Tonight had two great shows this week.
Big Brother was really good last night. i loved the shocked look on Ameerah's face when she was evicted. even better was all the clueless women in the house that looked stunned. Monte is the new HOH.
NJPW was great last night.
both episodes of The Captain last night certainly brought back the memories.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher.
the Red Scare play tonight in the quarterfinals of the TBT. they will get the last spot in the semifinals if they win.
i should be on here in the morning tomorrow, before the Yankees have Old Timer's Day.
so, the rain woke me up at 7 this morning. considering i went to bed a little after 3 AM, i figured i might as well just get going with my day. the laundry i wanted to do for mom on the weekend she finally let me do today. joy. and between my bad back and the arthritis, i really can't wait to drink myself to death one day. good times.
the Yankees lost last night to the Mets, 3-2. thankfully, they made a trade after the game was over that should provide a little spark to the team.
the Red Scare won again last night in the TBT. they are 3 wins away from a million dollars. this is the farthest they have ever gone in this tournament.
AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.
Big Brother was really good last night. i think i'm really going to enjoy The Leftovers alliance and the show tonight should be excellent. i always love a good blindside.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, two episodes of The Captain and NJPW. i watched NXT UK earlier today. it was excellent.

it rained this morning and my arthritis was raging enough that i just gave in and slept. i think i got something close to 5 hours of sleep in my massage chair. i really wish i could sleep in my bed but my back isn't anywhere close to being good enough for that to happen. i don't even bother to try anymore. i stretch out in bed and then go to sleep in my chair. rinse and repeat.
the Yankees lost last night, 6-3, to the Mets. hopefully, they will get a split tonight.
the Red Scare won last night to advance to the regional final tonight in the TBT. they will have to beat the top seed in the region to move on tonight.
NXT was great last night.

it has been threatening to rain all damn day. and of course, as soon as i got out into the driveway to go to Rite Aid, it started to rain. thankfully, my pills were ready and i found what mom needed pretty quickly.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i'm really hoping SummerSlam this Saturday is going to be good.
the two episodes of Miz & Mrs last night were hilarious.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and What We Do in the Shadows.
the Yankees play at the Mets tonight. two game subway series. hopefully, the Yankees will find a way to win.
the Red Scare play tonight in the TBT. they are playing the team that eliminated them two years ago i believe, so that should be interesting.
i have no damn clue what i am doing for dinner tonight. i need to pick up the trash and get that out. i did get most of mom's laundry done yesterday. of course, i wasn't thrilled making her bed at 1:30 in the morning. joy.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
there seems to be something that happens to me every couple of years. i'll meet someone that will seem amazing to me. we'll talk, get to know each other better, etc. etc. i'll share some links to my poetry and they will seem interested. and then the second that i think this could be legit or something more, they will vanish. into thin fucking air, like they never existed in the first place. now, what really sucks is when they ask you for help in getting published and you actually believe they are being honest. and of course, this last one was a dream woman. nearly every fucking thing i wish for in a woman and two days after really "connecting" on a genuine and honest level, gone...this is the kind of shit from the universe that makes me believe i will die old and alone. either that, or i am still being punished for some fucking thing i apparently have done. joy.
i got my laundry done and went to bed at 4:45 this morning. i was up at 7 to piss and then finally made it out of my massage chair at 9:15. i figure, i got my 4 hours, time to go.
the Yankees lost last night in Baltimore, 6-3. they couldn't get a hit with runners in scoring position to save their lives last night. hopefully, they will win this afternoon.
i did watch a few MLS games last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Westworld, Last Week Tonight, The Chi and Flatbush Misdemeanors.
the TBT tournament gets the games at UD Arena going today. i know the Red Scare (mostly made up of Dayton alums) play this afternoon. i will hopefully be able to find that game somewhere.
i need to do mom's laundry at some point today and hopefully get a shower in as well.
it is supposed to storm here today. so, i know my arthritis will be fucking raging later on. good times.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i don't know if it is because of the Olympics being on and i'm up at all hours so i can watch shit live, or just the days seem to be dragging along slow as fuck... the dog days of summer are here. i did make it to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Big Lots, hoping to find some baseball cards. no luck. hell, they didn't even have any Funko Pop! toys either. well shit.
the Yankees lost last night to Baltimore, 7-1. the best part of the game was the fucking cat running around in the outfield. and of course, since this is the Yankees season from hell, Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery both have COVID now. so, the Yankees will be starting a rookie tonight. hopefully, he does well. he's their #6 prospect, so i'm hoping for the best.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. as usual, it could have been better.
i did stay up to watch the USA men's basketball team defeat Spain, 95-81.
enjoy some music:

i do plan on watching some of the TBT finals tonight.
i do believe the USA women's basketball team plays Australia late tonight. i'm sure i'll be up watching that.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i have some friends with books coming out, so here are a few links for you to check out:
so, i think my body is almost used to just how fucking crazy my Sunday nights get between sports and all the shows i watch. throw in the Gold Cup final and the Olympics and you can imagine the power nap i took from 6 to 9 this morning and said i'm good to go.
first off, let's start with the Gold Cup. Mexico said this was going to be their revenge for the USA beating them in June in the Nations League final. the USMNT was young as hell last night. they were up against Mexico's "A" team. when Miles Robinson scored in the 117th minute to put the USA up 1-0, i was delirious. when the final whistle blew, i had tears flowing. this is the most proud i have been of this team in almost 20 years. and this gives me so much hope they can actually qualify for the World Cup and win it one time before i die. plus, anytime the USMNT can stick it to Mexico, i am fucking happy.
of course, the other side of the coin, the USWNT lost to Canada, 1-0 for the first time in 20 years. that means this will be the second straight Olympics they won't be playing for a gold medal.
the Yankees swept the Marlins yesterday, 3-1. Anthony Rizzo started the winning rally. he's been simply amazing since the trade. they start a series tonight at home against Baltimore.
i did watch some of the TBT games yesterday. the championship game tomorrow should be good.
Big Brother was good last night.
the season finale of The Chi was good last night.
the season finale of Black Monday was hilarious last night.
the season finale of Flatbush Misdemeanors was crazy last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking funny as hell last night.
The White Lotus was great last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.
the USA women's basketball team defeated France last night, 93-82. hopefully, the men will beat Spain tonight.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
NBA free agency starts tonight, so i'm expecting some crazy shit as usual.
i do plan on watching the USA men's basketball team tonight against Spain, which should be really good.
mom's scan she had done today didn't take very long. i did get 3 poems written. i typed those up when i got back home. hell, i think the time we were in the drive thru lane at Burger King for mom's frozen Coke took longer than how long her scan went.
i did listen to episode 354 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
i swear, anytime i have sat back in my massage chair today, i have gone to sleep. i guess i'm tired or something. i can't imagine why...
so, the Yankees won yesterday down in Miami over the Marlins, 3-1. Anthony Rizzo launched his first homer as a Yankee in his first game. he'll fit right in. hopefully, they will win again tonight.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
Back on the Record With Bob Costas was good last night.
The Shop was excellent last night.
i got up this morning and watched the USA men's basketball team defeat the Czech Republic, 119-84.
i had to go to Kroger this afternoon to get my prescription that they finally had ready and some pain pills and gels for mom. thankfully, they had everything she wanted.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm sure i might watch some MLS games tonight as well as the baseball game. i did watch some of both TBT games today. at least the second game was close.
i'm going to try to be on here early tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
