so, my morning routine is after i take a piss, i take my blood sugar and then i start to open up the house. when i opened up the front door to let the breeze in this morning, there was a headless bird at the door. that brought me a laugh as that was a regular thing out at the farm. it is a little more unexpected when you live in the suburbs. i'm guessing a stray cat had a little snack overnight. i made sure to get it out into the yard, just in case someone comes up to the door.
yesterday was fucking crazy. i did get mom to her appointment on time. i think she was a little surprised when they told her she needed to have an EKG done. thankfully, that came back clean. her heart doctor is really pleased with how mom has recovered from her congestive heart failure.
after that, i got her back home and then i needed to do the grocery shopping. thankfully, the rain basically held off around here. between trips to the grocery stores, i went to the bank and got gas for the Highlander. all in all, i was tired as hell, but i got everything done.
now, i did miss all of the Manchester United game yesterday. it figures, they ended up beating Newcastle, 3-2.
the Yankees won last night at Minnesota, 4-0. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
one of those days where there is just enough rain that my back is a stubborn old fuck that won't respond to ice, heat, stretching, etc. but, i don't have the option to just do nothing on a day like this. so, at least my fucking pain tolerance still exists. i did make it to the bank today. other than a nap in the chair, that has been the one thing i got done.
i did write 5 poems yesterday while mom was in her physical therapy session. i typed those up and i think i have enough to get some poems out into the world. that will be the goal for this weekend.
the New York Yankees won last night in Toronto, 7-4. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
last night was one of those nights. i was completely glued in to Game 7 between the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins. and the joy from a memorable Game 7, is i never come down from that high for a few days. the Rangers scored first last night. that made me happy. but, just like the last two elimination games, they fell behind, 3-2, going into the 3rd period. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd to send the game to overtime. there is something magical about Game 7 overtimes at MSG. this was no different. the Rangers got a great play from K'Andre Miller to draw a penalty on the Penguins. and wouldn't you know, Artemi Panarin scored on the power play to give the Rangers a 4-3 OT victory. they became the first team in NHL history to come back from a 3-1 deficit in a series where they had to come from behind in each of the elimination games to win the series. they will face the Carolina Hurricanes, starting on Wednesday. this was the first time in 5 years the Rangers have advanced to the second round.
both Game 7's went into overtime as Calgary defeated Dallas 3-2 in OT.
so the next round of the playoffs have some really juicy series. the Lightning play the Panthers in the battle of Florida. the Blues and Avalanche should be rather entertaining. the Rangers will play Carolina, which has 6 former Rangers on the team. and then of course, the battle of Alberta, Edmonton vs. Calgary. i can remember growing up watching those games. that should be fascinating to see that again. the second round starts tomorrow night.
both Game 7's in the NBA yesterday were blowouts. here are your highlights:
the New York Yankees won yesterday at the White Sox, 5-1. they start a series tonight at Baltimore. the Yankees have the best record in MLB at 25-9.
i did write 3 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i haven't typed those up yet. i had to run to Lowe's to get tomato food and another tomato cage, just in case the one tower we have doesn't work like we hope it will. i was supposed to go to the bank as well, but mom didn't have my check ready yet. so, i guess i will be doing that tomorrow afternoon.
i have to take her to the doctor in the morning tomorrow so we can go over her MRI results. i don't think mom is looking forward to it.
VICE was really good last night.
Ziwe was hilarious last night.
The Man Who Fell to Earth was excellent last night.
Gaslit was really good last night.
Barry was crazy last night.
The Baby was very good last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
i did listen to episode 395 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i woke up early again this morning. i wasn't pleased. it certainly felt like it was going to rain. it hasn't yet, though that doesn't mean shit for my arthritis. a few more hours of this and all that alcohol on my bar is going to be real fucking tempting.
the Yankees won again last night over Baltimore, 8-2. they go for the sweep this afternoon.
Saturday Night Live was good last night.
the horse i picked to win the Preakness finished second.
i did watch a good portion of the playoff game last night between the Capitals and Bruins. i love playoff hockey games that go to overtime.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Axios, The Nevers, Mare of Eastttown, Last Week Tonight, Batwoman, the season finale of City on a Hill and Ziwe.
i'll be watching WWE WrestleMania Backlash on Peacock for most of the evening.
i'm sure i will watch more of the NHL playoffs today while flipping between soccer, baseball and maybe some basketball. it's the last day of the regular season in the NBA.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so i got a wild hair up my ass today. i shaved, showered, went to the bank and then got a haircut. when the woman got done cutting my hair, she asked if i felt 10 lbs. lighter? i laughed and said yes. fuck, it had been probably 4 months or so since i got a haircut. i should feel better, especially since it's supposed to hit the upper 80's this weekend.
the New York Yankees won both games of the doubleheader yesterday over the Orioles, 5-3 and 3-1.
they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at home against Tampa. the Yankees are just a 1/2 game behind them in the division.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night. i'm still not sure how four blind fucks didn't see that hand pass.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
NXT and NXT UK were both excellent last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
Dark Side of the Ring was really good last night.

i have a sign in my room that says i get my cardio by running from adult responsibilities. today might be the day i run for a few miles. my best friend sent me a message this morning i never wanted to hear from her. the mass in her left breast is cancer and they need to remove the whole breast. we got into a little argument last week when i brought up this possibility. now that it is actually here, i know my tough love approach won't work. this is when i need to be the compassionate listener. now, that's something i do well, but when a person just a few years older than myself is facing this, i know all my listening will turn into me facing my own mortality. i joke all the time i do all i do for my mother so i get to stay in the will. she said something about it yesterday and i quickly snapped back with the unfortunate reality we all know... none of this will do me any good if i die first. that brings up a topic in most of my poems, the race to death. i have to call my best friend later this afternoon. i figured i would get the blog done before that fucking cry fest begins. she's one of the few humans on the planet that tells me she loves me and actually means it. it figures she'd have cancer. god hates me.
the New York Yankees got down 3-0 last night at the Nationals. they clawed their way back to get it to 3-3 and then the fucking rain came. and it never stopped. so the game was suspended until 5 PM tonight. they will try to finish the game from yesterday and then play the game they had scheduled for tonight. of course, it's supposed to rain tonight in D.C. so who the fuck knows if they will even get to play at all.
i was pleasantly surprised last night when the Sacramento Kings got the #2 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. of course, i immediately wondered how they will fuck this up. hopefully, that doesn't happen.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was really good last night.
The Voice was good last night. i had 3 of the 4 finalists i chose correct. and seeing that the only one i had wrong was the one i had fifth, i'm really fine with the Final 4. i would love to see Kyla or Spensha win, but my gut says Britton will win this.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
The Chris Gethard Show was fucking great last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.
here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Being Serena. i will watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i will probably watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight as well.
i'm getting ready to watch some of the Europa League Final to take my mind off things for a bit.
plus, there is rain in the area, so my arthritis is raging at the moment. joy.
i have no idea if mom is going to her physical therapy appointment tomorrow or not. she's still coughing her head off at the moment. if she does, i'll be on here tomorrow after that. if she doesn't, i might have a little writing session and then i'll be on here. i can't imagine what would be on my mind to write about.
that's all for me today kids.
