it doesn't take much these days...

 most of the time, i am a pretty laid back kind of guy. but, i do have moments where it doesn't take much to really set me off. and i come from a long line of assholes with legendary tempers. so, you can imagine how i was today at Rite Aid. i was told by a guy working at the pharmacy that my other prescription i called in on Monday would be ready today. i got there, for the third straight day, and the same fucking guy tells me the pills will be ready tomorrow. i mention to him that he himself told me they would be ready today. he seemed surprised that either he made the mistake or someone in this town has a memory longer than a fucking goldfish. so, i guess i get to there for the 4th straight fucking day tomorrow. fuck me.


the Yankees were trailing last night going into the bottom of the 9th, 6-3. they hadn't had a hit against the Astros since the first fucking inning. so, when Aaron Hicks, of all people, hit a game tying 3 run homer, i screamed HOLY SHIT. eventually, Aaron Judge would get the game winning hit as the Yankees defeated Houston, 7-6. that was one of those victories that truly makes me believe this season is going to be a special one. and thankfully, Aaron Judge and the team avoided arbitration today and settled on a contract for this season.







NXT UK was very good last night.




The Old Man was fucking great last night.



NJPW was really good last night.


Desus & Mero was hilarious last night. they are now off for their summer hiatus.


Vice News Tonight had two very good episodes this week.



enjoy some music:







and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Pause with Sam Jay. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.


Game 5 of the Stanley Cup final is tonight. i really hope Colorado finishes off the Lightning tonight.


i did watch some of the NBA Draft last night.






i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. 


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.


black lives matter.


stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay socially distant.


get the fucking shot.

nice enough to turn off the AC for a bit...

it's supposed to be pretty nice here the next couple days. i've turned off the AC and will hopefully air out the house for the next 48 hours.

i did type up those 14 poems last night. i think there are a few winners in there. those will go out sometime in July.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

i found some more baseball cards i didn't go through last night. probably 6 albums full of them. i did find some really good cards in some of them.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, AEW and Vice News Tonight.

i'm really hoping Manchester United wins today. i could really fucking use some alcohol.

i'm going to do the grocery shopping after the game is over. i'm hoping i'll be in a really good mood.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope this finds everyone well.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands...

and the machine starts again...

i was in one of those moods last night. not depressed, but not happy either. when i was younger, i dreaded trying to write when i felt that way. now, i force myself to. not so much a catharsis but more of a bloodletting. and yes, there was alcohol involved. i wrote and typed up 8 poems last night. that filled up the notebook my sister's friends got me for Christmas. that's roughly 200 pages in under 6 months. that doesn't include all the small notebooks i have filled up as well. figures i would get my most prolific when creativity in this country is being killed off. i really liked the 8 poems i wrote last night. i'm sure they will find their way into my submissions soon.

here is your World Cup update: since the last time i posted, Mexico beat South Korea 2-1. Germany scored at the death to defeat Sweden 2-1. this morning, England beat the shit out of Panama 6-1. right now, Japan is playing Senegal. later, Poland takes on Colombia.

as pleased as i might have been with the New York Rangers in the first round of the NHL Draft, i was equally underwhelmed at what they did during rounds 2-7 yesterday. their player evaluations are radically different from everyone else in the league. the goalie they took in the second round most other scouts had going in the sixth round. it's shit like that that makes me want to scream. out of all the players they drafted yesterday, i think i might have liked one of the picks. either i'm going to be wrong and very happy, or i'll be proven right and fucking miserable that yet another draft has gone by and the Rangers got most of it wrong yet again.

the New York Yankees offense was absent yet again yesterday. they lost 4-0 to Tampa. that's the first time the Yankees have lost back to back games in a month. hopefully, they will avoid the sweep this afternoon.

ROH was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Westworld, Succession, Last Week Tonight, The Affair, I'm Dying Up Here and Total Bellas.

i know at some point tomorrow i need to go to the post office and i'm going to have to take mom to see the doctor. she thinks she has pulled a muscle or done something to make her back even worse. good times.

i figure after all that is over, i'll be on here.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.

hello anger, we have missed you

the New York Yankees pissed me off so much last night that i didn't even bother to realize that my DVR didn't record Tyrant, a show i truly love. i'm going to put the blame on myself and my relationship with technology, although a sane man would argue that the Yankees shitty pitching for the last 3 games is a good enough reason for anyone to blow a fucking fuse.

i understand that in the game of baseball, sometimes shit happens. but, when you lose to the worst team in baseball again last night, 11-6, it's fucking inexcusable. what makes it worst was they fought back to get the game to 6-6 and then pissed away chance after chance to go ahead. they blew the game in the 9th when they gave up 5 runs. i believe it's the first time the Phillies have scored 11 runs in back to back games in almost a decade. CC only went 4 2/3 last night, so i guess Ivan Nova, coming back from Tommy John surgery, will have to pitch a complete game when they play this afternoon. fuck me runnin'.

here's a little music as i clean my own damn pallet from the shitty taste of last night's game:

i wrote 5 poems yesterday while in the waiting room of mom's doctor's office. i think 2 or 3 of them are really good. i typed them up last night while i was drinking in anger. i guess i should actually check them to make sure i didn't make any mistakes.

WWE Tough Enough was pretty good last night. some parts were a little too much Jersey Shore for my liking, but oh well. the after show on the WWE Network was excellent. The Miz was truly in his element given all the times he has been on reality shows.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. it will be interesting to see how Jake does as a captain.

i planned ahead this time and made sure i have Tyrant scheduled to record. of course, i will have to wait until next Tuesday to catch up. of course, i might check later in the week to see if the episode i missed is on demand. fucking technology.

here's some funny shit from last night:

on top of tonight being pro wrestling night, my summer guilty pleasure comes back, Big Brother. it is the perfect show for insomniacs and evil geniuses. that will be on the DVR (fingers crossed), along with ROH and Lucha Underground. i will be watching NXT on the WWE Network when the other shows are on. i haven't decided if i'm going to watch TNA tonight or not. i may just check out the YouTube clips.

mom is feeling pretty crappy today. the heat does her no help with her disease. i was a little shocked when she told me yesterday she decided to go through with another procedure on her ear. it's the same one that nearly killed her last time. not literally, but she did look like she was being electrocuted at the moment the needle went in. she told me they are planning on knocking her out as best they can this time around. of course, i will be in the room like last time, so i can't wait to see how this goes. the first one did nothing for her. maybe this time will work. i won't get my hopes up, that's for sure.

if the Yankees do get swept today, i know i will end up shaving my head. i plan on leaving this funky beard i've got going, but the hair on top will be gone. that would actually feel nice in this heat. so, i figure the Yankees will win today to spite me.

that's really all for me today. i've got trash cans to go get and hopefully the mail is here by now. hope everyone is doing good. if not, you now have discovered the reasons for drugs and alcohol.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...

i'll sleep when i'm dead...

when you find yourself sweeping the floor at 4 in the morning, i think you have pretty much come to the conclusion that you'll just sleep when you're dead. the fact that i was back up and at it at 8 in the morning simply cements it.

when i hit the post office later today, i'll be mailing 3 poems to Chiron Review. when i hear back from them, i'll pass along the verdict.

the Yankees played like shit again last night, losing 8-3. that's 3 losses in a row that have been UGLY. might be time for a trade or some injection of youth. no point in having kids do good in AAA when they might as well be up in the show. they play again tonight.

in World Cup action yesterday, Spain won 3-0. enjoy the flight home. Netherlands beat Chile 2-0. Mexico beat Croatia 3-1. Brazil won 4-1. that sets up in the knockout round Brazil vs. Chile and Netherlands vs. Mexico. those are 2 juicy games. bring on the weekend.

today, Costa Rica plays England. Italy plays Uruguay in the game of the day. Colombia plays Japan and Greece goes against the Ivory Coast. i'm interested to see how Group C and D shake out.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i thought it did a decent job of setting up the upcoming ppv this Sunday.

tonight, especially if the baseball is as shitty as last night, i'll be watching Deadliest Catch. and then i'll probably watch Tyrant on FX. that channel usually has some damn good shows that i'll take a chance on for at least an episode or two.

if you happen to watch my new YouTube video and like it, please share it. or at the very least, tell me you like it...

if you watch it and don't like it, i'll be even happier that i wasted a minute of your life.

i was on the toilet this morning and looked out the window and saw a deer eating some grass maybe ten feet away. i'll almost miss being able to see that when(ever) we move from here.

not looking forward to another hot ass day here. it's just so damn muggy. hopefully this slow moving cold front gets through here and gives some relief.

got an art idea that i'm going to try to flush out late tonight. probably use some markers and my twisted imagination. if i actually like it (rare), i'll post some pictures.

that's all for me. i hope this finds everyone well. until tomorrow my enemies.

peace and chicken grease...
