so, i did watch most of the opening ceremony at the Olympics today. that was epic to say the least. of course, long as fuck as well. and i can't wait to see how many people got sick because of the rain. i think they said it was the first time there was rain during the opening ceremony in 50 or 60 years.
one thing i have noticed is i don't hate this day as much as i used to when i was younger. of course, i am on a weed gummy right now, so maybe that is why i don't mind this July 26th. for those in the dark, my father would have been 78 years old today. thank god he never saw one day into his 70's.
i did watch Big Brother last night. Matt was evicted. i am really hoping this house is going to be cutthroat this season. Chelsie is the new HOH.
NJPW was good last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up tonight on Peacock.
the Yankees start a series tonight at Boston. i don't think i will watch much of it. maybe they will do better with me not watching.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i guess it depends on when i wake up and what events are on when.
of course, this will be my first time betting on the Olympics, so that should be fun.
i hope everyone has a good weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

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.

and now some of this and that:
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.

today is the birthday of my dead father. i never have liked this day. probably never will. some scars just run deeper than others i guess.
yesterday was one of those days where hardly fucking anything went my way.
the only thing that did was in the Gold Cup. Canada defeated Costa Rica, 2-0. the USA defeated Jamaica, 1-0. i love what Matthew Hoppe brings to this team. he has a certain "fuck you" to him when he's out there that i wish more of the players had. so, now on July 29th, the USA will play Qatar and Mexico plays Canada. winners will face each other in the final on August 1st.
the Yankees were winning yesterday, 4-0 and Domingo German was throwing a no-hitter. he gave up a double in the 8th inning. no big deal. they pulled him from the game and the bullpen absolutely shit the bed. the Red Sox scored 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th and won the game, 5-4. i swear, this season can't fucking end fast enough.
the Red Scare forgot to play good defense yesterday and some key players couldn't hit the fucking ocean when they were shooting. they lost to Category 5, 76-69.
Big Brother was good last night. i truly hope Brent gets evicted this week.
The White Lotus was very good last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.
The Chi was really good last night. season finale is next week.
Black Monday was fucking hilarious last night.
Flatbush Misdemeanors was good last night.
Desus & Mero was really funny last night.
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.
i did listen to episode 353 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:
i imagine i might watch some of the Olympics late tonight. it probably all depends on what is live at that time.
i did get my order from Carnival Baseball today. 10 baseball cards of hall of famers. i was hoping for some older cards, but i can't complain with what i got. the best cards in the two packs were a 1990 Topps Frank Thomas rookie card and a 1990 Topps Ken Griffey Jr.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i woke up this morning and my mind went immediately to the Manchester United game. i knew just how important it would be for everyone involved to get what was needed today to be in the Champions League next season. thankfully, United was able to get a result while playing like relative shit today. they won 2-0. i honestly thought for most of the game they were playing for a draw. but, those 3 points have them finishing the season in 3rd. Chelsea is in 4th. Leicester finishes 5th. United was 14 points behind back in January, so i am really pleased with finishing 3rd. now, the only games left for United this season are in the Europa League. i wouldn't mind if they won the damn thing again and use that momentum to roll into the next season, which starts basically in 7 damn weeks.
the New York Yankees played like shit last night and lost 9-2. they started off today behind 2-0 and i remembered how much i hate losing. thankfully, the Yankees made a comeback and then held on for a 3-2 victory today. they took 2 out of 3 from the defending world champs. i'll take it. they start a series in Philadelphia tomorrow night.
ROH was pretty good last night.
part of my latest order from Amazon.com showed up yesterday. i got some more cards in protective sleeves now. i need more though of the hard plastic ones. i have 300 soft ones coming soon. i'm afraid that might not be enough either. plus, i found some more cards from the 1980's from Reds games i went to. and one of those cards is a Barry Larkin rookie card. so yeah, i was pretty pleased when i found that one.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Perry Mason, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, Last Week Tonight, The Chi and Desus & Mero.
you know how damn long it's been since i have had 2 drinks in one evening. holy fuck, i'm looking forward to tonight.
i did watch some of the MLS games last night. both games finished 1-0. i think the knockout portion of this tournament is going to be very interesting to watch. i might watch some of the matches tonight.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is going even better.

before i get into the debacle last night, a little poetry news...
i heard back from Corey at Red Eft Review on my poetry submission from last night. one of the poems came really close, but this isn't horseshoes. he passed on all 3 i sent. oh well.
my father would have been 73 years old today. thank god he isn't.
the New York Yankees were due for a clunker and of course it just had to come up in Boston. the Red Sox took them behind the woodshed last night and beat the shit out of them. the final score was 19-3. that's the most runs Boston has ever scored on the Yankees. hopefully, i will never have to see that again in my lifetime. and hopefully, the Yankees fucking win tonight. even better, go trade for a fucking starter NOW!!!!!!!!
Holey Moley was fucking hilarious last night.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. Holly is the new HOH, so it will be back to regular programming in the house this week.
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Shangri-La.
the grocery store was pretty fucking crowded today. all the prices were up it seemed. between both stores and my pills, i kept it under $200. at least we should have some options for dinner for the next week or so.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'll probably get one done before the Yankees play in the afternoon, at least in theory.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

i have spent the majority of the day helping the muse deal with some corporate racist shit at her job. that's always fun. thank god i have plenty of experience helping black women with their grievances against stupid white people. that's also sad that i have been helping since the early 90's with this shit.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Tampa 3-2. when they don't win the division this season, all these fucking losses to Tampa will be the reason. but, it does look like the Yankees are making another trade. nothing is official yet, but getting a solid starter and the best reliever on the market and staying under budget is good business i think. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Royals.
Manchester United played one of the crazier games i have seen last night against AC Milan. the game finished 1-1. so they went to penalty kicks after that. 26 fucking kicks later, United won 9-8. fucking crazy.
NXT was great last night.
Lucha Underground was really good last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i don't care who gets voted out tonight, Kaitlyn or Rockstar. either will have the chance to get back into the house. hopefully, they fail.

today would have been my father's 70th birthday. i mentioned the other day that part of the reason why i think i'm writing so much these days is mostly because that demon that was my father is gone. somehow, even though i first thought of killing myself at the age of 8, i still managed to outlive the one that i always felt wanted my death the most. i wouldn't say i look at it as victory or just... perhaps it's simply how life is supposed to go. i do know i haven't even scratched the fucking surface on poems about him. i will probably be writing about those horrors until the day i die. but i can literally feel a weight off of me. perhaps i'll actually get to have a life now. i won't hold my breath, but it certainly would be nice.
the New York Yankees won last night in Houston, 2-1. they are going to fuck around and think they still actually have a chance to make the playoffs. dammit. i already saw the owner say he won't let the GM trade off everyone. this team needs a fire sale so damn bad, it's so easy for everyone to see.
Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. new music, new set, new voice on commentary (thank fucking god for Corey Graves). i was thrilled with making Finn Balor the winner of the main event last night. that sets up Finn vs. Seth Rollins at SummerSlam. dream match alert. also, i was so damn happy to see Sasha Banks win the women's championship last night. i don't think they could have asked for a better showing of what the new era will look like. hopefully Smackdown is just as good tonight.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Deadliest Catch.
i got some excellent music on NoiseTrade today for FREE. i'll post the link in the music section below.
for some fucking reason, our garage door went up on its own twice today. i'm thinking we might have had an electrical storm given that my uncle complained that none of the things he had charging in his garage next door actually charged last night. of course, given that it's my father's birthday, i automatically started thinking of ghosts.
i didn't catch much of the Democratic convention last night, and i'm hoping to miss most of it. although, there was one speech that i did catch:
this country is going to look back and realize just how stupid they were to go against everything in the last 8 years. just think how far we would be past all this bullshit if the Republicans were just smart enough to give the President what he wanted and then take all the credit for it in the end. oh yeah, i forgot, racism doesn't allow shit like that to happen.
i have trash to pick up around here and i will hopefully get a shower done before the fucking rain comes. i've been achy all damn day.
i hope this finds everyone in good spirits or just drunk as hell.

now, i know that title will get the attention of my father's family, as today would have been his 69th birthday. this is a day that has haunted me for as long as i can remember. i never remember my father making a big deal of his birthday, but he damn sure wanted to be treated like a fucking king on that day. of course, he was allowed to forget your birthday, but you were NEVER allowed to forget his. it's a little funny that the sale of the farm made the paper today. if he was alive and saw what it went for, i bet that fucker would remember i was his son then. all in all, i imagine my hatred for this day will cease over the years. but, for today, it's like a fresh wound that i am picking at, deciding if it is better to let it heal or open the fucker up and let it bleed. good times.
some music for your Sunday:
i did go to the grocery store yesterday with mom. the store had a deal of gift cards for fuel points, so i know a couple of things i'm getting for Christmas. plus, we should get cheap gas for the next month or so. saw a couple of things in the store that i will probably end up writing about.
speaking of writing, when i got up this morning i went through some poems and came up with 8 i will be sending out tomorrow, most likely. i was going to do it today but if you have read the opening of this post, you know why i didn't.
Manchester United played very well yesterday, beating Barcelona 3-1. the goals came from Rooney, Lingard and Januzaj. David de Gea looked great in goal. hopefully he has a great season and realizes he doesn't need to leave Manchester United after all. the next game is mid week against PSG in Chicago. yet another game i really wish i could find a way to get to. thankfully, it will be on television.
i made the right call to watch the United game instead of the USA taking on Panama for 3rd place in the Gold Cup. Panama dominated most of the game. it was 1-1 and going to extra time when the United game got over. i watched the extra time and the penalty kicks, mostly hoping for another victory beer. that never happened as Panama got what it earned, winning the penalty kicks 3-2. what truly pissed me off was to hear the USA coach say after the game that it wasn't a bad tournament for the team and it will look similar when the playoff comes up in October. what fucking world is Jurgen living in? i guess i can rest easy knowing i will never see the USA actually get to play for a World Cup title in my lifetime.
i did see some of the fireworks last night. sadly, they were starting just as the main event of the UFC last night. i wisely chose the fight. but, we do now know where the best spot in our driveway to watch the fireworks is.
the New York Yankees were down 5-0 last night. thankfully, A-Rod turned back the hands of time and played like it was a decade ago. when he hit his 3rd homer of the game on the first pitch of the 9th inning, tying the game at 5, i was really happy i decided to start watching. and when John Ryan Murphy hit his first homer of the season, a 3 run bomb to give the Yankees the lead 8-5, i was pumped. probably the best win of the season. they play again this afternoon. hopefully they can get out of Minnesota with a series win.
Power was excellent last night. another holy shit ending that throws another layer on the story. loved it. ROH was pretty good last night. i was in and out of it but watched it again early this morning. another good episode.
some more music for your Sunday:
tonight on the DVR will be Big Brother, True Detective, The Brink, Ballers, The Strain, Last Week Tonight, Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex. if the weather holds up, i'll probably get all of them watched this evening. we are supposed to get some storms to roll through today. hopefully they are out of here by this evening.
that's all for me today. i see the silly season in baseball has truly started. yet another reason i'm glad i'm not on twitter. i can just imagine the hours i would waste chasing down every fucking rumor. the horrors of being a sports fan in the 21st century.
hope everyone had a great Saturday. may your Sunday be better.

i got something resembling 5 hours of sleep last night. i haven't got my usual, you were out in the sun too long asshole, shits yet, so i have that to look forward to later today. i did manage to get the grass cut in a little under 4 hours. so, maybe i wasn't out in it too long. the clouds are getting dark right now. i made sure to get the cats fed before it rains.
i did type up the 5 poems i wrote yesterday waiting for my mother to get out of her MRI. i really like these. i will send them out in my next batch of submissions.
this morning i sent out 17 poems. 2 to BoySlut and 3 each to Jellyfish Whispers, Pink Litter, Dead Snakes, The Camel Saloon, and Pyrokinection. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
today is my father's birthday. i wasn't sure i should submit some poems today, given the horrific nature of this date. but, i figured i would roll the dice.
the Yankees came from behind again last night to win 6-4. amazingly, that is their 17th straight win at home against Toronto. they will hopefully extend that streak later this afternoon.
also today, Manchester United takes on Roma. that should be a good test for the new system the boys are playing. i'll be curious to see who LvG plays today.
tonight, i believe the UFC is on FOX. plus, ROH has a new episode. also, i think there is some boxing on. so, looks like it will be a night of combat sports.
i did watch the new episode of Treehouse Masters last night. if i EVER get some fuck you money in my life, i'm getting one of these tricked out treehouses. they are fucking amazing.
i did manage to finally catch up with all i missed on YouTube on Thursday and Friday. i think i'm getting too old to keep up with the digital age. i can just imagine how distracted i would be if i actually had a smartphone. not sure how much longer i can keep fighting that.
so far, i'm holding strong.
wow, my back just tightened up. there is definitely rain on the way.
well, with that, i'm cutting this short.
mom has been mentioning that we might go to the Celtic Festival later today. if that does happen, i'll be sure to take along a camera.
hope this finds everyone well. i do hope you enjoy your weekend. only fuck the ones that cough.

it's been so damn muggy around here for the last week or so, anytime i walk out of the house i feel like i am in Florida again. and i haven't been in Florida since i was a child.
i told my mother yesterday that when we move, we're not having any pets come with us. this is their punishment for strategically placing shit all around the yard where i walk to feed the birds. and trust me, fresh cat shit and heat just don't mix well, even if it's on the bottom of an old pair of shoes.
if the World Cup is going to be anything like the first game yesterday, holy shit. Brazil survived Chile on penalty kicks. Brazil 1(3) - Chile 1(2). i thought for a few moments that my pick to win it all would blow up in my face. hell, it still might. in the other game Colombia beat Uruguay 2-0. let the James Rodriguez bidding begin. he's going to get a massive raise before too long.
today, the Netherlands take on Mexico. i'll have my eyes glued on that one given the various Manchester United connections in it. afterwards, Costa Rica plays Greece. some lucky team will be getting to the quarterfinals unexpectedly.
i have Costa Rica and Netherlands advancing today.
the Yankees lost last night 2-1. Tanaka made two mistakes and it got him a loss. sucks when that second mistake comes in the top of the 9th with 2 outs. why he would shake off the catcher to throw his third best pitch is beyond me. i also put some blame on the catcher for allowing him to do it. but, the biggest blame comes down to the offense again that looked like they were swinging a wet paper bag at the plate. the rubber game of the series is tonight on ESPN. i have no clue if i will bother with it or not.
ROH was a retrospective on Michael Elgin and his path to the title last night. a pretty good episode. i'm not that big of a fan but he has certainly paid his dues and deserves a chance to run with the ball.
i'm ok with whom the New York Rangers drafted yesterday. they traded back a few times and got more players, which is usually a good thing. most of the guys will end up being depth guys if they do make it to the NHL. now the real nail biting begins with free agency. the GM is already laying the ground work for players walking away. great.
i'm really looking forward to the Sunday night shows tonight. the season finales of Nurse Jackie and Penny Dreadful. the series finale of Californication. and another new episode of Last Week Tonight. if i find the time, i may check out the new HBO show The Leftovers. of course, i've been so damn tired here lately, i probably would be better off sleeping. not sure if i'm going to watch the next episode of Big Brother tonight or not, as i already know what's going to happen.
i got a late start this morning as i had an awful night of sleeping. even with the fan and air conditioning on, i could never get comfortable. good times.
i need to get the trash picked up and the cats fed before the games start today. and i also need to fit in breakfast and reading the paper. and of course, since it is trash day, it's supposed to storm. why am i not surprised.
that's all for me today. hope everyone is having a great weekend. or at the very least, better than mine.
