a drive through hell...

i had to get out of the house today. i wanted mom to come along, but her back was really bothering her. i needed to go to Meijer to more or less restock the house with some cleaning supplies. after that, i drove through Trotwood, at least part of it, to see how bad it really was. as the title states, it was a drive through hell. i didn't try to go back into the neighborhood i grew up in. i didn't have the stomach for it. the bank i go to looked like it had the roof badly damaged, so i know it won't be open anytime soon. i know they upgraded the tornado to an EF4 that hit the town. it certainly looked like it. fuck me.

mom wanted a frozen drink from Burger King. thankfully, the new one that is closest to the house was open again.

after i got home and had lunch, i took a nap. i didn't sleep much last night, and i highly doubt i will tonight either.

Liverpool won the Champions League yesterday, 2-0. that's the last fucking time i want to think about it.

a little poetry news to pass on. i heard back from Darren at Parhelion Literary Magazine on my poetry submission from back in March. they decided to pass. well, that's 5 more for me to choose from for the upcoming submissions.

the New York Yankees won again last night over Boston, 5-3. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final:

NXT Takeover 25 was excellent last night. honestly, everything they do in NXT and NXT UK for that matter is light years ahead of what is on Raw and Smackdown.

Bad Times at the El Royale was brilliant. i have to agree with the one review that said this movie will become a cult classic. i loved the jump cuts and just how brutal some of the scenes were. plus, one of my favorite lines i will use for the rest of my life from Jeff Bridges... "shit happens, get the whiskey"

ROH was good last night.

we had some thunderstorms roll in last night. i figure that is part of the reason why i didn't sleep well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Last Week Tonight, Axios, Our Cartoon President, Billions and The Chi.

Game 2 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday has been even better.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i don't think mom has anything until Tuesday, so maybe tomorrow becomes laundry day.

until then kids...

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

like a catharsis...

i finally got to take a shower. holy shit, i needed that. it was like a fucking catharsis. of course, i was in there long enough for my back to start hurting. good times.

the New York Yankees defeated Boston last night, 4-1. hopefully, they will do that again tonight.

Deadwood: The Movie was fucking perfect last night. i absolutely loved the show and the movie was a fitting ending to it all.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was very good last night.

part 4 of Wu-Tang Clan: Of Mics and Men was excellent last night. i highly recommend the whole documentary to anyone under the age of 20. they would learn so much of where modern hip hop came from by doing so.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Bad Times at the El Royale and ROH.

i'll be watching NXT Takeover 25 for most of the evening on WWE Network.

Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.

the Champions League final is this afternoon. i really fucking hope Tottenham defeats Liverpool today. if not, the summer is already fucking ruined.

i'll probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, that is if i get some decent sleep. i tossed and turned all night last night.

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