the heat today was oppressive for sure. it was classic Ohio in the summer, but it felt like an August heat. the air you can wear. and it was like that from the moment i woke up. of course, i didn't fall asleep to almost 5 in the fucking morning. i was hoping i would get some poems written but that never happened last night. one thing that happens to me in the summer is i have so much other shit i am interested in, the poet in me tends to get lost in the shuffle. every once in a while, i have to blow up that fucker's ego and just go for it. of course, i would love to not have to jump through any fucking hoops. but that utopia has always been foreign to me.
so, the doctor's appointment went well yesterday. my weight was down. my A1C was down. my blood pressure was perfect. hell, the appointment was shorter than the drive there. i will have to do some bloodwork and a urine sample before my next appointment. that is in September.
the baseball cards from Repacked Wax yesterday were excellent. i spent a little under $40 on the 10 packs. there was close to $80 worth of cards in them. that is why i keep buying from them. the best card in the packs was a 1973 Topps Tom Seaver.
the Yankees lost last night down at that dump in Tampa, 5-4. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.
i did watch some of the NHL awards last night. Igor Shesterkin won the Vezina trophy. i have a feeling it won't be the last time he wins it.
NXT was pretty good last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and AEW Dynamite.
Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight.
the grocery shopping went pretty well today. i was able to keep the bill under $100 at Kroger today. that was a minor miracle.
mom's injection worked for the most part. she knows it can't take away all the pain, but it has taken away a good portion of it.
she is going to try to go to physical therapy tomorrow. so, i'm going to try to get the blog done in the morning so i won't be trying to squeeze it in tomorrow night.
there are storms all around us but no rain here as i am writing this. but my arthritis doesn't know that. fuck me.
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.

it was 53 degrees when i got up this morning. so, i turned the AC off and opened up the house a bit. i love when i can do that in the summer, since it is rarely cool in Ohio to say the least.
Monday Night Raw was better last night.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
I'll Be Gone in the Dark last night was excellent.
yesterday at the Copa America, Uruguay and Chile finished up 1-1 and Argentina defeated Paraguay, 1-0.
at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Austria defeated Ukraine, 1-0. Netherlands defeated North Macedonia, 3-0. Belgium defeated Finland, 2-0. Denmark defeated Russia, 4-1. today, Croatia plays Scotland and England plays Czech Republic. that will mark the end of the group D games.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, Deadliest Catch and Mr. Inbetween.
the Yankees start a series tonight at home against the Royals. hopefully, they will get a victory.
i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight. i believe the NBA Draft lottery is tonight as well.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i need to go eat some lunch and get ready for the Euro 2020 games to start. after those are over, i'll do the trash here and next door.
the house next door is up for sale. i'm really hoping someone under 50 buys it. either that, or someone that isn't white. this town is dying for some fucking diversity.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay socially distant.
get the shot.

i got to bed at a decent hour last night. of course, it was raining just hard enough that i woke up every 35 minutes or so. joy. around 6:30, i decided to fuck it and just get up. i knew my sister was leaving early, so i figured i would see her off. she was going down south for a charity walk with her friends. i made some coffee, had breakfast, checked emails and wanted to write this blog then. my back was killing me, so i decided to go ice my back down in the massage chair. i finally got almost 80 minutes of painless sleep there. as i told my sister last night, the pain is getting to the point where i'm going to have to start using weed or heroin or something to ease it. good times.
the New York Yankees won again last night over Houston, 4-1. that's 7 wins in a row. hopefully, they can keep it going tonight.
i did watch a good portion of the first round of the NHL Draft last night. the New York Rangers got exactly who i was hoping for. i'll pay attention a little bit to the rest of the draft today, mostly because i think the Rangers might be trading a few players to get a little more salary cap space for a certain Russian winger that played in Columbus last season.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NJPW was really good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
Los Espookys was fucking hilarious last night.
i did watch a little of the Gold Cup last night. here are your scores:
El Salvador vs. Jamaica finished 0-0 and Curacao upset Honduras last night, 1-0.
tonight, Guyana takes on Panama and the USA will be looking for some fucking revenge against Trinidad & Tobago. i will be watching that tonight.
as for the Women's World Cup, Germany is currently leading Nigeria 2-0 at halftime. i do plan on watching some of Norway vs. Australia later this afternoon.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i will hopefully have a couple victory drinks tonight and hoping that will ease the pain from the storms we're supposed to have at some point this evening.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Old Timer's Day at Yankee Stadium.
oh yeah, for those that are wondering, of course we didn't use the new oven last night. my mother sent my sister to go get some BBQ from Old Hickory in town.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i have been incredibly busy today and i'm doing it all on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. so my best friend, while in the waiting room of her oncologist, decided that's the perfect time to start an argument with me. and apparently, since i said i don't have time for your need to throw a fit, that was all Debbie needed to block me from contacting her. on the day i wire her $200 from the money raised on Gofundme. and i'm the asshole for wondering why my best friend neglects her mental health. and i'm the asshole for helping her find the people in Colorado willing to help her. but don't worry, i guarantee she will tell everyone she did everything on her own. that's fine. i'm not sure when the world will finally understand. i am incapable of feeling any empathy for anyone that decides to burn their fucking bridges with me. so, i do hope she beats cancer. i do hope she gets the help she needs. i do hope she finds housing before she's homeless at the end of the month. it's one thing to be d.i.y. all your life, it's another to be so stubborn that you become a fucking $#@%. i will allow everyone to use their imagination on what word goes there.
imagine that, she just unblocked me.
the New York Yankees scored 4 runs yesterday in the first inning and decided that was enough for the game. thankfully, the bullpen agreed, for the most part. the Yankees got the sweep of Seattle with a 4-3 win. they now start a series tonight in that dump down in Tampa.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Lip Sync Battle was really good last night.
i was happy i watched the entire NBA Draft last night. the Dayton curse is finally over.
now, while the Sacramento Kings didn't select who i wanted, it's not like they didn't select a player that should really help them. if he's the missing piece, i will gladly tell the world i was wrong.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW, Major League Wrestling and Real Time with Bill Maher. i will probably be watching the 1st round of the NHL Draft for most of the night. the New York Rangers have 3 first round picks and they can't fuck this night up if they want to have a quick rebuild.
i was really hoping to listen to the new Nine Inch Nails album i bought on iTunes today. but, when the songs downloaded last night, the only one that had any sound was the first single they put out weeks ago. that will be the last time i pre-order anything i guess. they still haven't got in touch with me to correct the problem.
the grocery store was fucking crazy today. it was a somewhat rainy, somewhat humid as fuck day today. it was warm enough that some of the black women shopping today were in extremely skimpy clothes. i certainly didn't mind, but i did enjoy the look of disdain from all the old white women shopping. i wanted to get some fresh fish, but i didn't want to wait in a line that was about 10 to 12 people deep. and by the time i went, most of the good shit was gone. joy.
here's what has happened in the World Cup since the last blog. France defeated Peru 1-0. Croatia destroyed Argentina 3-0. Brazil scored late to defeat Costa Rica 2-0. Nigeria defeated Iceland 2-0. Switzerland came from behind to beat Serbia 2-1. tomorrow, Belgium takes on Tunisia. South Korea plays Mexico and Germany takes on Sweden.
i will probably be on here sometime in the morning tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope everyone has more patience than i do. i hope the alcohol flows freely for you this weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i saw two absolutely stunning women in the grocery store today. both looked at me and turned away in disgust. suddenly, i remember exactly what high school felt like. good times.
mom had both physical and occupational therapists out here today. she did really good. so, in a week, it will be onto outpatient physical therapy. i guess i'll be writing more poems in waiting rooms again.
the New York Yankees finally won last night, 8-4. thank fucking god. hopefully they win again tonight.
NXT was really good last night.
Lucha Underground was great once again last night.
Lip Sync Battle was pretty fucking funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
i will spend most of the night watching the NBA draft.
i wasn't really surprised with the selections for the NHL expansion draft last night. i think Las Vegas will have a pretty good team. it's obvious they want to build from the draft.
i guess we're going to get a ton of rain over the next few days. fucking great.
if i can tell rain coming from a couple hundred miles away because of my arthritis at age 41, what the fuck is it going to be like when i'm in my 50's or god forbid, my 60's?
i did see a little of the 1-1 draw between Cameroon and Australia today. i watched the first half of Germany and Chile before i went to the grocery store. i saw the game ended with the same score as when i left, 1-1. the Confederations Cup group play will end this weekend. i don't think any team has qualified for the semifinals yet, so it should be interesting.
that's all for me today kids. i need to go make dinner and ponder if heroin will take away my arthritis.
