my back was killing me this morning. the ice didn't really help, but i knew i had to get the grocery shopping done. i went to Rite Aid first, just to see if they had any baseball cards. they are behind the counter now, like cigarettes. fucking hilarious. i did get a Fairfield box that cost me $5. next to that Rite Aid is the local grocery store i go to. i found what i was looking for there and took all that back home. for shits and giggles, i decided to go to Big Lots since they usually have the Diet Coke cans mom likes on sale. of course, they didn't have any. but, i did stumble upon baseball, football and wrestling cards. i got the one pack of 2018 Topps WWE they had. i got 3 packs of 2021 Topps Heritage and 3 packs of 2021 Score football cards. all of that cost me under $45. so, i got all the cards today for less than $50. after going through everything, i probably have around $200 worth of cards, thanks to some great rookie cards in the Score packs. Kroger was my last stop today. i found everything on the list. i somehow kept it under $130. i made it home in time to watch some of the Euro 2020 games this afternoon. more on that in a bit.
NXT was really good last night.
Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.
Mr. Inbetween was pretty funny last night.
the Yankees left a small village on base last night. of course, they have done that all fucking season. they lost to the Royals, 6-5. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft lottery last night.
so, the Euro 2020 today was fucking crazy. Sweden defeated Poland, 3-2. Spain defeated Slovakia, 5-0. Germany and Hungary ended 2-2 as did Portugal and France. the round of 16 is now set.
Wales plays Denmark. Italy takes on Austria. Netherlands will play Czech Republic. Belgium plays Portugal. Croatia will play Spain. France will play Switzerland. Sweden will take on Ukraine. and finally, England will play Germany. the first two of those matches will start on Saturday.
today in the Copa America, Ecuador and Peru finished 2-2. later tonight, Brazil will play Colombia.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
i will watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs as well as the Copa America tonight.
i now have to figure out what i'm making for dinner. my mother likes to play this game where she will act like she doesn't care and then not like what i want to make. so lately, i've been forcing her to make the decision.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
it's one of those things that i know deep down, no matter how hard i try, or how hard i wish, love is one of the more elusive things in my life. and when you meet someone that deep down you feel could be that missing piece, it's the lonely part of the soul that becomes the elephant in the room, especially when the beautiful one you want to complete the puzzle seemingly wants nothing to do with it. and sure, i'm probably reading too much into it or barking up the wrong tree... i just know i'm not getting any younger and i fully know my options are dwindling. good times.
the New York Yankees won last night over Baltimore, 8-3. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.
Miz & Mrs. was hilarious last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Hard Knocks was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Alternate Endings: Six New Ways to Die in America, Big Brother, Snowfall and Songland. (of course, since the people that own our NBC station and DIRECTV are in a fight, i'll have to watch Songland tomorrow sometime on the internet most likely). i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i'm slightly shocked, they picked up the trash, recycling and the mail got delivered all before noon today.
i think i might have got something close to 5 hours of sleep last night. that's shocking as well i suppose.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. as you can tell from the start of this blog, i probably have a few poems that need to bleed from this brain.
until tomorrow kids...
las voces en mi cabeza me hacen compañía
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've spent a good portion of today icing down my bad back. the shitty thing is i normally have lower back pain. this is more in the middle of my back. joy.
i did write 3 poems this afternoon. i typed them up and i think they are pretty good. that brings me to 27 poems for August. that's pretty good for a month i'm usually never productive in.
i had to take mom to the bank this morning. thankfully, we got that done before it got hot today. her bank is about 30 minutes away.
the New York Yankees had as many hits as errors last night. that's never a good recipe to win. they lost to the White Sox 6-2. hopefully, they will win tonight.
Manchester United played a good first half yesterday. sadly, they weren't clinical in the final third, so the score at halftime was 0-0. the second half was beyond fucking abysmal. Tottenham ripped them to shreds and won the game 3-0. i can't remember the last season United lost 2 of the first 3 games. i have a feeling it's not going to get any better anytime soon.
Monday Night Raw was interesting last night. i really enjoyed the Kevin Owens vs. Seth Rollins match. and i'm interested to see where they are going with KO quitting last night. i did enjoy Braun turning heel and beating up Roman Reigns last night. but, that was all that was interesting. just not enough for a show that is 3 hours long.
Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story focused on the trial last night. other than the opening statement from the prosecution, you could tell they had no damn clue what the fuck they were doing. of course, Florida is a fucking shit show when it comes to this type of shit. the longer i watched, the angrier i got.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, the season finale of Deadliest Catch, Fuck That's Delicious, the season finale of Miz and Mrs., Hard Knocks and The Shop. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her eye doctor's appointment. i'm not sure if it's just an appointment tomorrow or if they are actually doing some outpatient stuff on her as well.
the talk mom had with the lawyer was very good yesterday. i guess before too long, i'll be filling out an affidavit. too bad for these doctors i have a good memory.
i need to get the trash picked up now. so, until tomorrow kids...
