it felt like it was raining all the time yesterday...

 and finally, at night, it did rain. it rained most of the night. i think i finally fell asleep around 4 when it finally stopped to mostly just a drizzle. on those days, my arthritis feels like an elephant has climbed on me for shits and giggles. fun times.

i did get up in time to see Manchester United win this morning. they won 1-0 at Bournemouth. add that with Liverpool dropping points this morning, United now only needs 1 point in their last two matches to officially qualify for the Champions League next season. and with the clean sheet today, David De Gea won the golden glove for the best keeper in the Premier League.

the New York Yankees won last night in Cincinnati, 6-2. hopefully, they will win again today.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

AEW Rampage was pretty good last night.

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

the season finale of A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

i will probably watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight.

i will most likely watch The Preakness Stakes today as well.

i definitely plan on watching Columbus vs. FC Cincinnati today in the MLS.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, before the Yankees play before noon.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. thankfully, i think all the rain has moved out, so it should be nice and sunny here today.

until tomorrow kids...

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

not the news i was expecting going into the weekend...

 i was watching some tv this afternoon when the news broke that Jim Brown had died. now, i never got to see him play and i have never been a fan of the Cleveland Browns, but i definitely knew who the fuck Jim Brown was. when someone is still considered the best at his sport some 50 years after he quit playing, you know he was one the greatest of all time. but, if you look at everything else he did in his life, he was much more than a football player. 

and then the left hook of death hit me with the news of Andy Rourke passing at 59. as the bassist for The Smiths, he was one of the bass players i really admired back when i was learning the bass. so yeah, that one hit me pretty fucking hard as he was only 12 years older than me. fucking cancer.

the New York Yankees won last night in Toronto, 4-2. they start a series tonight at the Reds.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night. and yes, i watched all the overtimes.

the season finale of Young Sheldon last night was very good.

NJPW was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Rampage, Smackdown and the season finale of A Black Lady Sketch Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

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

i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United play in the morning.

a decent way to start the morning...

 first off, a computer update. last time, it was a thumb drive that cured the noise. this time, it was a shut down and reboot. at least i didn't have to hear the noise overnight.

i was up in time this morning to see Manchester United play Wolves. United won the game, 2-0. they desperately needed that win.

the New York Yankees won last night at home over Tampa, 6-5.

the New York Knicks lost last night at Miami, 96-92. Miami will play the winner of the Celtics and 76ers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Rampage.

i'm sure i will watch some of the MLS tonight as well as Game 6 between Dallas and Seattle in the NHL playoffs.

i need to go to the store today as well. hopefully, it won't be raining when i do that.

in a perfect world, i'll somehow find the time to do my laundry today and vacuum the house.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, most likely.

i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday.

a frustrating day...

 so, i was sitting here at the computer and the fan noise i complained about a few weeks ago just started back up. good times.

it has been rainy all day so my arthritis has been raging. my back decided i wasn't going to have a good day this morning while i was on the toilet. so, i didn't get to go out and get what i needed to today. i guess that becomes a Saturday mission. joy.

the New York Yankees had their asses handed to them last night. they lost at home to Tampa, 8-2.

mom didn't go to physical therapy today. she wasn't feeling well so i had to call and cancel for her. thankfully, the weather got much better today. i'm hoping it stays around for the weekend.

the Orkin guy was out here early this morning. apparently, the ant problem is way bigger than he was thinking it was. he put out more shit to kill them, so hopefully, it will be solved in 5 days. i'm not counting on it.

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

with so much going on tomorrow (playoffs, Kentucky Derby, wrestling in Puerto Rico, etc.) i am going to try to get the blog done in the morning. on top of everything else, i am going to try to go to Menards if the weather is decent tomorrow.

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.

2 down, 14 to go...

 the New York Rangers won last night at New Jersey, 5-1 (same score as Game 1, lol) to go up 2-0 in the series. the last time the Rangers won the first two games of the playoffs like this, it was 1994. holy fuck, i am starting to feel good about this team.

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

here are some highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are the highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees won yesterday against the Angels, 9-3. the Yankees start a series against the Blue Jays tonight at home.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Vice News Tonight was very good last night.

so, what really pissed me off yesterday was the shit show Manchester United put on in Spain. Sevilla whipped them 3-0, knocking them out of the Europa League. thank fucking god i didn't get the chance to watch any of that yesterday. between mom's doctor's appointment and a trip to Kroger to get some pills and the local grocery store to get a few things, the game was over by the time i got back home. now, they have to play Brighton on Sunday in the FA Cup semifinal. if they lose on Sunday, what could have been a memorable season will turn into a mediocre one at best.

mom's physical therapy went well today. i wrote 3 poems while in the waiting room. i'll type those up sometime tonight.

it has been a rainy day here, so the house of arthritis has been in misery.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and A Black Lady Sketch Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
