do or die

 today has already been fucking nuts. joy. so, i didn't get much sleep last night (big shocker). after i did my blood sugar and put the dishes away, i found out i had 6 poems published today. so, i got those two blogs done and then headed to the bank. the Chase bank i normally go to was closed for some reason. thankfully, i remembered there was a Chase bank the next town over. mind you, the one i normally go to is like 20 minutes away. now, i'm 30 minutes away from home. thankfully, this branch was open. the old lady that took my deposit said to me, do you remember those Calgon take me away commercials? i said yes. she then said, i could so use that right now. i sort of chuckled and mentioned i was at the Englewood branch and it was closed. she then said something about one of the workers had died and the manager is on vacation, so they can't open it up. i said oh, on the website it said that it was open. she said that is part of the reason why it has been so crazy here. i just love old women, they get to being chatting and will tell you everything. i made my deposit and then started to drive back home. got stuck behind some pretentious fuck in a BMW going 40 in a 55. it took everything i had not to run that fucker off the bridge we were on. i made it back home to have breakfast at noon. joy.

a big thank you to everyone that has checked out the new poems that have been published:

i want to believe the only way to go is up...

 i didn't sleep well last night. i think i must have fallen asleep in my bed with my neck in some crazy ass position. when i got up at 5 to piss, my neck was killing me. so, i went and got some ice and tried to sleep in my massage chair. broken at best...

the Yankees won yesterday against Toronto, 4-2. they start a two game series at home tonight against the Mets. they really need to start winning some games.

i did catch some of the Columbus Crew game last night.

the season finale of Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.

VICE was very good last night.

Big Brother was good last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.

i really want to believe Manchester United will get something out of this game today against Liverpool. if not, i'm not sure i want to see how low rock bottom really is.

could we do more than never forget?

it's rhetorical i know, but it seems this country is so fucking used to forgetting our history, 9/11, at least to me, is fading into that section of what we always do kind of shit. i can think of a few thousand people that would be greatly disappointed by this. of course, who really gives a fuck anymore?

the Yankees got rained out last night, so they are playing a doubleheader today against the Orioles. they are well on their way to winning the first game. the Yankees are up 6-0 in the bottom of the sixth. oh alcohol, my old friend...

Holey Moley was crazy last night.

NXT UK was really good last night. i can't wait for the new shows to start.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Bayleigh was evicted and Dani is the new HOH.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

here are your highlights from the NHL last night:

i did watch some of the NFL game last night. the Chiefs do look scary on offense once again. they beat the Texans, 34-20.

i sent out 29 poems this afternoon, 3 each to Red Eft Review, Terror House Magazine and The Beatnik Cowboy; 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, The Ramingo's Porch, Misfit Magazine and Synchronized Chaos. i will pass along the verdicts when i hear back from these places.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Room 104 and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i had to take mom to her bank today to deposit a check. after that, we went to the drugstore to get some things. i picked up a box of football cards. got my first hit ever from one of those Fairfield boxes. it was a numbered card from around 2005 or so. worth just about as much as the box cost.

i was up until 5 this morning working on my baseball cards. i'm trying to get the albums better organized, so i know where shit is. plus, i am finding a good amount of cards i have missed over the last few months.

it has felt like it's going to rain all damn day. joy.

my sister should be down here tomorrow afternoon. i think she is spending the night.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow. since Manchester United aren't playing, i'm going to try to be on here before the Premier League really gets going.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. Gerrit Cole just threw a 2 hit shutout for the Yankees, saving the bullpen for game 2 of the doubleheader. should be happy night now.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

what a rainy day...

i didn't get to bed until almost 7 this morning. i actually wrote 5 poems last night and typed them up. those were the first poems i have written in over 3 weeks. and as i am finding better pricing guides online for my baseball cards, i'm going through and finding shit i have missed over the last few weeks. so yeah, the hours are rolling together and i'm sure before too long it will be Halloween...

the New York Rangers lost last night to the Islanders, 2-1. everytime i turned the game on, it seemed like the Rangers were killing off a penalty. i'm kind of torn with their series against Carolina starting on Saturday. i'd love to see them win and actually compete for the Stanley Cup this year. but, i also know if they lose, they will have a good chance of getting the #1 pick in the NHL Draft. and that could set up a future dynasty. decisions, decisions...

the New York Yankees won at Baltimore last night, 9-3. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

NXT was really damn good last night.

AEW was really damn good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Holey Moley, Cake, Don't and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'll probably check out some of the MLS game tonight between Philadelphia and Kansas City. i'll probably check out some of the NBA games tonight as well.

i should be on here tomorrow after i pick up my pills at the grocery store. if it isn't raining, i might do some shopping at Meijer as well.

this rain today, while we really needed it, it isn't doing my back any fucking favors.

that's all for me kids...

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

it's not easy doing math on the fly in a damn zoo...

i don't know what makes the grocery store a fucking zoo at 2 in the afternoon on a Friday in October. is it the possibility of fucking snow in the air tomorrow night? is it the rush to get shit done before high school football? is it the need to buy lottery tickets? ok, i do understand that one. if the line wouldn't have been 15 fucking people deep at the time, i probably would have got some tickets as well. anyways, i was able to get everything on the list and keep it under $100. mom was fucking shocked.

a little poetry update. i did send out 23 poems this morning. 3 to Red Eft Review (already heard back, 1 accepted for publication) and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Academy Of The Heart And Mind, Fourth & Sycamore and North of Oxford. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

i did watch plenty of LeBron's first game for the Lakers last night. now, as a Sacramento Kings fan, to watch the Lakers lose was delicious to see. but, i am also a LeBron fan and i am fascinated to see the circus this season with him on the Lakers. let's just say, he didn't disappoint last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.

Young Sheldon was very funny last night.

Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night. i swear the show is just as good as it was back in the day.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pod Save America.

i'll probably watch some hockey at some point tonight as well.

i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays at Chelsea in the morning.

i'm not expecting to be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

the last day of summer (if we actually had seasons anymore)...

i beat the rain by about 10 minutes today. you would think it was the end of the world with what the grocery store looked like. how the fuck is the milk gone before 2 in the afternoon? the longer i live, the more i realize why i just can't fucking stand people.

last night was a night i would love to forget. of course, that pile is getting larger than the number of nights i want to remember. not exactly how i wanted to be living my life in my 40's, but i shouldn't be surprised. at least i know, half of this fucking life is already over with.

the New York Yankees lost to Boston last night, 11-6, to lose the division for the 3rd straight year to the Red Sox. the Yankees were up in the game at one point 6-4. apparently, the bullpen must have thought the game was only going to be 4 innings last night. the Yankees start the final home series of the season tonight against Baltimore. the Yankees magic number to clinch a playoff spot is 3.

i did watch a good portion of the Browns vs. Jets last night. i have pretty much hated Baker Mayfield since he planted that Oklahoma flag in the middle of Ohio State's field. so, when he got in the game last night and brought the Browns back from being down 14-0 to a 21-17 victory, i told my mother another white trash hero has been born. he fits in perfectly with Northeast Ohio. thankfully, the muse fell asleep during the game she was so pissed and my mother is used to the Jets losing.

Big Brother was good last night. Angela was evicted, so now the final 3 is Tyler, Kaycee and JC. i'd love to see Tyler win. i wouldn't mind if Kaycee won. and i would be absolutely pissed if the best Big Brother season in nearly a decade is won by JC. Tyler won the first HOH, so he's a in a good spot to have a chance to determine who he takes to the final. if he is smart, he takes JC and he should win easily.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

the season finale of Snowfall was pretty good last night. i really hope FX doesn't drop the ball and gives this show another season.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

i will probably do some poetry work tonight.

they are supposed to be here tomorrow anytime between 8 and noon to install the new television, put the television in the kitchen on the wall, etc.

i have no clue when i will be doing a blog tomorrow. so here is the preview for Manchester United's game in the morning:

and the preview video for Ohio State vs. Tulane in the afternoon tomorrow:

if all goes well, i'll be on here before Ohio State plays tomorrow. but, i rarely get to live in a life where everything goes well.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

you ever get rejected in your dreams

i had a pretty restless night. i'm pretty sure i did nothing but toss and turn all fucking night. my television is set to turn off after 4 hours. i always love waking up before it turns off. beyond fucking frustrating. we didn't have any ice this morning. when i went out to get the paper, it was more of a freezing mist in the air that wasn't touching the ground. so maybe we won't get much of anything today.

the New York Rangers lost last night to Toronto 4-2. once again, they fell behind early and couldn't dig themselves out of the hole. they play tonight in Montreal. that building is a house of horrors for them, so i'm not expecting much.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of shows.

NJPW was great last night. they showed the main event from Wrestle Kingdom 11, Okada vs. Kenny Omega. i now understand what all the talk was about. it was an incredible match. it easily ranks in the top 10 of all time of pro wrestling matches i have seen.

i nearly forgot Treehouse Masters was on last night. i recorded the late showing of it and watched it this morning. it was pretty cool to see the treehouse they built, even though i didn't care much for the episode.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits and ROH.

the Dayton Flyers play at noon today at Duquesne. this is a game they really need to win. they are a better team and really need to show it today.

i'm really interested in watching the WWE UK Tournament today. it will be on the WWE Network today and tomorrow. 16 of the best wrestlers in the UK vying to be the first WWE UK Champion. there definitely should be some amazing matches.

the NFL playoffs are back on today as well. i'm sure i will watch some of those the next two days as well.

i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United takes on Liverpool. i figure i better do the blog before the game because who the fuck knows what i'll be like after the game.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

so that's what a crisp breeze feels like...

i woke up this morning on the other side of the bed. i guess i'm immune to the pain i feel anymore, but i certainly was tossing and turning all night long. i checked the rain gauge this morning and we had another inch. that's over 2 inches in under 36 hours. misery, my old friend.

mom wanted Taco Bell last night, so i went out in the pouring rain to go get it. part of me believes i'm getting closer to achieving sainthood.

Vice News Tonight was excellent last night. i'm happy that HBO is putting the full episodes up on their YouTube page.

Better Things was fucking hilarious last night. it also reminded me why i stopped going to church.

Fuck, That's Delicious was great last night. the episode ended with the new video from Action Bronson. as soon as i heard the beat, i had to go buy the song.

i'm doing this blog now as i know i'm going to be busy the rest of the day. i need to take a shower, do mom's laundry and go grocery shopping. good times.

if all goes well (can you hear the laughter right now?), i'm going to do some writing tonight.

hello apathy, i remember you

so just as i was getting ready to get in bed last night, the news hits about that flight from Paris to Cairo. now, i'm a sucker for breaking news. i'm one of these assholes that wants to know what's going on at all times. so i was up until probably 2 in the morning or so, basically until my eyes couldn't stay open any longer. 4 hours of sleep, rinse and repeat. i was hoping to get some poetry work done but no... watching the news and sitting here at the computer, immersed in apathy. good times.

i think i'm going to take a shower after i get done writing this. maybe some cold or extremely hot water will jolt the system back into something other than its current state.

the New York Yankees actually won last night, 4-2. thank god. they start a 4 game series in Oakland tonight. joy, more west coast baseball.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

NXT was excellent last night. anytime i get to watch Nakamura wrestle, i'm a happy man. plus, they showed the footage from a brawl between Balor and Samoa Joe that will mean the next chapter of their feud will be in a steel cage. that's a first for NXT.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown and Lip Sync Battle.

i think mom finally took the car to get the check engine light checked on. i guess the dumb fucks forgot to put back a hose when they changed her air filter 2 weeks ago. she wasn't very happy.

i saw that team USA advanced to the semi-finals of the Hockey World Championships today with a shootout win over Czech Republic. i might have to have a drink for that one.

today's been one of those days where you get a song stuck in your head and you can't escape it to save your life. you'll see what my brain was chewing on all day long in the music section.

i'll have to keep my eye out for some packages being delivered to the house the next couple of days. what i ordered mom for her birthday should be coming soon. that saves me from having to do some last minute shit in June.

that's all for me today kids. i think i'm going to go take a nap in the shower. good times.

sunshine and trash

welcome to the 12th day of National Poetry Month. in yet another sign of my professional laziness, enjoy 3 random YouTube videos. and this time, i do mean random, as i know none of these people.

i didn't watch much of the Yankees game yesterday. apparently, i didn't miss much. 8-4 loss to Boston, yet again. they will try to not get swept tonight, and thankfully, i won't watch much of that either.

the New York Rangers won yesterday 4-2 in Washington. they set the franchise record for wins in a season, wins on the road in a season, total points for a season, etc. etc. they are primed and ready for the playoffs. they play the Penguins in the first round. considering my good friend Paul's favorite team is the Penguins, i'm really hoping to have some fun with this. below are the highlights from yesterday:

i ended up losing my fantasy hockey championship 6-4-0. all i needed was 2 damn assists and 7 fucking penalty minutes and i would have won. instead, i get to settle for my 4th consecutive second place finish. fuck me.

i haven't got to watch the episode of ROH from last night yet. i figure i'll do that sometime tonight. i did catch Saturday Night Live. i thought Mumford and Sons sounded pretty good. as for the show, a few of the skits were funny, but most of the show sucked.

i didn't sleep well last night. i figured that was all due to the Manchester derby.

United started the game off like shit. they got down early. thankfully, this isn't last year's squad. they found some form, made some passes, and holy shit, scored 2 goals to take the lead by half. they then went to score 2 more in the second half before Shitty scored again late. Manchester United 4 - Manchester Shitty 2. what a beautiful day. here are some highlights:

after the game, i went over to the farm and met my mother and sister. i took a ton of trash down to the end of the lane. hopefully it won't get windy tonight. brought another load of stuff over to the new house. the one side of the garage is just about full. my sister and i got a few more things hung up around the house.

tonight will be my usual Sunday night viewing. Nurse Jackie, Veep and Silicon Valley all return tonight. so does some other show that i've never watched. i'm recording all 3 just in case i start watching some other shit tonight. i know that MSG is doing a special show about the New York Rangers tonight. that will be on the DVR as well. i'll also try to squeeze in Last Week Tonight sometime as well. busy busy.

i got my order from Amazon.com yesterday. i was a little surprised the mailman left it leaning up against the garage. i might have to have a talk with him if that's what going to happen all the time.

that's all for me today. i have a victory beer and some music to go enjoy. hope you are having a lovely weekend.
