i have been up since 7:30 this morning. that wouldn't be so bad except i went to sleep around 4:15. 3 hours of sleep just doesn't feel the same at my age anymore. so, i'm hoping i'll get a nap in this afternoon.

so, the New York Rangers lost at Tampa last night, 2-1. the Lightning will play Colorado looking for their 3rd straight Stanley Cup. i wasn't happy that the Rangers coach broke up the kid line last night. but, the true kick in the nuts was when the Rangers tied the game at 1, the Lightning scored 21 seconds later to make it 2-1. i looked at my mother and just said i might as well get ready to shave off the playoff beard. all in all, i believe what many of the experts believe, this Rangers team was a few years ahead of schedule. i really think this loss will be the catalyst to go even farther next time. i'm just hoping it doesn't take another 7 years or so for them to get back to this. but, me being me, i will be haunted by the Game 3 collapse more than anything. they were one solid period of hockey from going up 3-0 in the series and having one foot in the Stanley Cup final. the fan in me wants Colorado to absolutely destroy Tampa. my brain believes if Colorado is willing to pay the price to win, it will be in 6 or 7 games.
the New York Yankees hit 6 solo home runs last night and defeated the Cubs, 8-0. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.
i did watch the Belmont Stakes yesterday.

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, The Man Who Fell To Earth, the season finale of Barry, the series finale of The Baby, Last Week Tonight and Gaslit.
i'm sure i'll probably watch some soccer today as well as baseball.
and i think i have some laundry to do for my mother. i'm hoping she doesn't try to do that on her own while i'm out getting a hair cut.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i had to run to Kroger last night to get some pills for mom. thank god i don't do my grocery shopping on Fridays. that store was fucking packed beyond belief. the pharmacy on the other hand, i was able to walk right up and get her prescription with no line at all.
the Yankees beat the Cubs last night, 2-1 in 13 innings. both teams left small villages on the base last night. hopefully, the Yankees will win a little easier tonight.
here are your highlights from Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night.
the USMNT defeated Grenada last night, 5-0 in CONCACAF Nations League. Jesus Ferreira scored 4 goals last night. maybe they have FINALLY found a striker to use for the World Cup. of course, Grenada stinks, so lets see how he does in the next match at El Salvador.

as many of you know, i did not have a good relationship with my father. i think he's been gone long enough now that he's simply a crutch for the poems when i'm stuck and can't think of anything to write. so, to all the good fathers out there, the ones that didn't punish their children by mentally abusing them or threatening to take them out of the world they brought them into; to the ones that didn't arrive late with an excuse to a championship match; to the ones that didn't steal all the college money playing the fucking lottery; to the ones that didn't blame a hit and run accident on their oldest child; to the ones that didn't forget birthdays; to the ones that didn't choose to work overtime instead of going home and enjoying the family... happy father's day.
i made the mistake last night to read the #speakingout stories on the internet last night regarding pro wrestling before going to bed. so many of the names involved are people i really respected and i was literally in tears reading those stories of abuse. as someone who has struggled to come to grips with it in my own past, i applaud each and everyone for coming forward as i know how fucking hard that can be. and honestly, the sooner we as a society get all this shit out into the open and treat sexual abuse, domestic abuse, etc. as seriously as it deserves to be treated, the better we are going to be in the future.
ROH was very good last night.
Austin City Limits was the Chris Stapleton episode i mistakenly deleted a few months ago.
i did watch the Belmont Stakes yesterday. i wasn't surprised with the winner of the race.
i watched some of the UFC last night as well.

i went to the store earlier today to pick up my prescriptions and get a few other things. i didn't know that Father's Day was all the moms take all the kids to the store day. it was way too fucking crowded for an early Sunday afternoon.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after i send some poems out.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday is even better.

my sister came down this afternoon. she brought some more stuff for my mother and bought lunch for us. she's out in the living room with mom while i'm writing this.
so, my yesterday was a bit nuts. before the Manchester United game, i went out to get mom's pills and see if i could find some baseball cards. Meijer was actually stocked for a change. i couldn't find any Bowman 2020, but i did find plenty of shit they never have. and i finally found a few of the cards i have been looking for. plenty of hits actually. i then went to the grocery store to pick up mom's pills. apparently, one of the fucking bags were open and the bottle of pills fell out. of course, i never heard anything or noticed anything. so, when i got home mom said that they called and someone brought it back to the pharmacy. i looked at the bag and saw where it was open and was fucking furious. thankfully, mom let me wait until halftime of the Manchester United game to go back to the store to get the pills. other than having to wait because they were understaffed (as usual), the return trip was pretty harmless.
as for the Manchester United game, they played Tottenham to a 1-1 draw. so, my first victory drink is still waiting...
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

i only got 4 hours of sleep last night. i was a little surprised i had that creative burst when i did last night and got all those SoundCloud recordings done and put out.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. probably in the afternoon again, maybe earlier.
it's fucking hot here today, so the AC has been running all damn day it feels like.

i did watch WWE Super Showdown yesterday. oh god, that was fucking awful. it was easy to tell the heat at ringside was getting to everyone. of course, when the money is more important than the health of your performers, it was easy to see this clusterfuck coming. it was over 100 degrees at 9 in the evening over in Saudi Arabia in case you were wondering.
here are your highlights from Game 4 of the NBA Finals last night.
NJPW was excellent last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

i, well at least when my ego is healthy, kind of pride myself on being a good multi-tasking motherfucker at times. you know, one of these assholes that has 5 or 6 plates spinning and it still able to get everything done. it was much easier when i could burn the candle at both ends and didn't need to take a break. now, arthritis has claimed ownership and runs the fucking show. we had storms rolling through most of the night last night and i didn't get as much done as i wanted to. i was hoping to say i sent out this many poems to such and such, but shit, i haven't even gone through the big file to know what poems i want to even send out yet. between my best friend trying to defeat breast cancer and being depressed at the same time, to my mother who is having trouble with her vision and stress, to myself coming to terms that i have all the signs of someone who is suicidal. good times. i was watching some Anthony Bourdain tributes last night, as i had obviously not cried enough during the day, and they had a segment about what people should look for in someone who might be suicidal. and sure enough, i could check off every damn box for myself. that's a sobering thought to try to sleep to. yet, i still wake the fuck up. i have always said i would like to die in my sleep and have it be peaceful. who the fuck am i fooling?
the New York Yankees won last night over the Mets, 4-1. i wasn't happy when the second pitch of the game from the Yankees starter ended up in the upper deck. thankfully, the Mets suck and that was the only run they scored all night. the Yankees are back in first place in the division. hopefully, it stays that way when they play again tonight.
when i noticed LeBron wasn't playing that well last night, i didn't bother to watch much more of Game 4 of the NBA Finals. i would be shocked if LeBron returns to Cleveland. hell, he brought them one championship. that is amazing enough. here are your highlights from Game 4 last night.
NJPW was excellent last night.

hopefully Justify will win the Triple Crown at The Belmont Stakes later today. i do plan on watching that.
i believe my sister is coming down for a little while today. that should be interesting.
that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great Saturday. be safe and call if you need bail money.

the more i get around people, the more i am able to stomach the situation. not that i am more accepting of ignorance or racism, i find myself less likely to simply write those dumb fucks off after a few seconds like before. now, i usually give them a minute or so. progress.
after following mom to return her rental car, we went to Applebee's for lunch. i haven't been to this restaurant in years. the menu was an obvious sign that it had been even longer than i thought. i wanted to get something that wouldn't blow up my stomach, so what better than pretzels, cheese, bacon, ham, turkey, bread and lemonade. i figure i'm doing my best to make sure i'm dead sometime in my 40's. i watched some of the USA soccer game while i was there, but they weren't playing well, so i didn't mind leaving when we did. more on that later.
we went to Menards after lunch. we found stuff for the birds and hopefully some pots that will work for the wildflowers i want to plant. sadly, i think we brought the wind from the farm out here with us. we also got a bird feeder for my uncle. of course, mom made me go over and give it to him while he was sitting out with the neighbors on the other side of his house. meeting new people is not a fun task for me. i did bite my tongue when i noticed the wife of Carl had two black eyes. i was proud of myself not making the obvious domestic violence joke right then and there. as i told my mother when i got home, i deserve sainthood after 25 minutes of listening to my aunt complain about her bad hips. mom, who hit her head while we were at the store, wasn't in the mood. that's always fun.
so after putting out the new flag, the new solar lights, a new hummingbird feeder and putting away the new birdseed, i decided to get online and check some scores. HOLY SHIT. how the fuck did the USA come back and win that game?
more on that after this music break:
when i saw the USA beat the Netherlands 4-3, i thought it was a joke. they were losing 3-1 when i left the restaurant. when i saw the goals that won it, i was really happy. that's the first win EVER over the Dutch. and it is only the 3rd time in 45 years that the team has come back to win after being down by 2 or more goals. talk about an unexpected victory beer. enjoy some goals:
i laughed when i saw that Bobby Wood scored the winner. when i was leaving the restaurant, i was telling mom that he has all the talent in the world but has no fucking clue how to put it together on the national stage. one of the few times where i enjoy being wrong. of course, i truly hope this wasn't simply a case of the sun shining on a dog's ass.
the New York Yankees broke out the long ball once again and entered the 9th inning last night leading 8-1. what happened next had me angrier than shit. the Angels batted around and had the game tying run at 3rd base when the Yankees finally got the last out. a 8-7 win that felt like a damn loss. that was a very angry victory beer.
that anger took a little while to leave me last night. thankfully, i had shit to watch on TV. NJPW was excellent last night. 2 very good tag team matches. i then watched VICE. easily, one of the best news shows around. i highly recommend that EVERYONE watches it.
today is going to be a busy one. i believe mom and i are going to the grocery store this morning. that should be fun. i say that with clenched fists. i'm hoping we're back home before the Champions League final between Juventus and Barcelona. as much as i would love to see Juventus win because of Patrice Evra, i can't imagine Messi not winning another title. after that, it will be time for the Belmont Stakes. i'm really hoping to see a Triple Crown winner this year. it's been too damn long since the last one (1978). i don't know if i'll watch Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final after that or the Yankees play. late tonight it will be ROH and god knows what else is on as i'm trying to get to sleep.
if i manage to sneak in a nap sometime today, i fully expect to get some writing done late tonight.
whatever happens i'll be back on here tomorrow morning.
i hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday. hopefully the weather is good wherever you are. if you are watching the Champions League Final, enjoy the game. if you aren't watching the game, please understand that the rest of the ENTIRE world is, so enjoy your loneliness.

amazingly, i got some sleep last night. now, before you get too happy, it wasn't good sleep. two hours in my chair, two hours in the bed and then, after being disgusted that i was up at 6:30, two more hours in my bed. i haven't got that much sleep in months. hopefully, that will help me stay awake for everything going on today.
the Yankees won last night, 4-2. was nice to see Chase Whitley get his first major league win, even though DRob threatened to fuck it up again in the 9th. that victory beer became a victory rum and coke, with more rum than normal. i think that explains the sleep. the Yankees play tonight but i doubt i will be able to see it. i believe it is on FOX tonight, so it will only be seen in New York and Kansas City. i'll hunt around to see if i find the feed on Directv somewhere, but i won't have my hopes up.
i watched a good portion of Portugal vs. Mexico last night. wanted to scout Portugal a bit since they are in the same group of death with the USA. Portugal won late, 1-0.
here in a little bit i will start my crazy sports day. first up will be the USA vs. Nigeria in their final tune up for the World Cup. before that is over, The Belmont Stakes will be running as California Chrome tries to become the first Triple Crown winner since 1978. and after that is over, the New York Rangers play Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Kings. this is a MUST WIN game for the Rangers. after all that, and hopefully a few victory beers, i'll be watching the new episode of ROH. i'm hoping their ppv coming up is at a good price. i might just be ordering it.
saw a news story today about how fast the internet is in Chattanooga, Tennessee. blew my mind. might have to check out moving there.
it's warmed up here today, just in time to create some havoc for tomorrow morning. the crops are looking pretty good, but a little rain every few days makes them look so much better. and that always leads to making more money off of them.
i finally got the check i was waiting for in the mail today. so, looks like i will have more stories from the bank on Monday.
that's all for today. hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend. i'll be on here in the morning tomorrow, after breakfast and trash duty. and hopefully before it starts to rain and after feeding the damn cats. good times.
