i found out right before i fell asleep last night that the pope had died. i find it curious that one of the last pieces of shit to see him alive was J.D. Vance. now, i'm not saying one thing killed the other, just saying it is interesting. in a weird way, last night was full of tragedy. be it wrestling, tv shows, reality... damn.
night 2 of WrestleMania was damn near perfect. the show was much better paced than night 1. i liked the matches better. the Joe Hendry surprise was actually a surprise. it was great to see Becky Lynch back. then, the main event started. Cena's win over Cody felt completely anticlimactic. now, i have learned to let everything play out before casting judgement, but this certainly fell flat. and i know in wrestling history, when your main event falls flat, it takes away from the whole show.
The Last of Us last night was shocking, mostly because i didn't know what was coming since i never played the video game.
The Americas last night was the behind the scenes of how they made the show. that was fascinating to watch.
The Righteous Gemstones was hilarious last night. just two episodes left.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was very good last night.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:
Manchester United lost yesterday at home to Wolves, 1-0.
the Yankees won 4-0 yesterday against Tampa Bay. i couldn't believe the official scorer took away the no hitter that Max Fried was working on. and i couldn't believe the umpires and the replay booth took away a home run from Aaron Judge that was clearly fair. the Yankees start a series tonight in Cleveland.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix. the Raw after WrestleMania is always a crazy one.

i took mom to downtown Dayton yesterday to get some death certificates. i hadn't been downtown in years. but, eventually, muscle memory kicked in. after that, we got some McDonald's for lunch.
i wrote 2 poems last night so i could send that submission out. they both were good but quite the struggle to write. joy.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
there is so much to get to in this blog, i might as well start with the bullshit at the top of my mind. let me paint a picture. i have been talking to this beautiful woman from Georgia (state not country) for the last couple of weeks. i thought we really hit it off. we're both born in January. she's a Chelsea fan. i'm a Manchester United fan. she really liked my poetry. etc. etc. well, last night she told me she loves me. i said i love you too. felt incredibly comfortable saying that as i am at the point of my life where i am fucking tired of being alone. so, i got up this morning and there was no message from her. no big deal, i'll send the good morning. she comes back that she is in pain and her phone is fucked up. ok, shit happens, sorry to hear that. she then sends me a pic that says her camera on her phone won't work unless she has an Amazon gift card. i checked all around the web, already knowing the answer, but hoping to find something where i was wrong. so, you wait until the day after i say i love you to fucking try to scam me. that pissed me off royally. now, i had mailed her a book that should arrive tomorrow along with a birthday card. i usually allow people three strikes. but, when you toy with my emotions and then try to scam me, that's such a red flag that you have to go. so yeah, that was how my day started off. just fucking lovely. but, that should give me plenty to write about for the last 8 poems needed for the book.
i tried to start the Highlander today and of course it wouldn't. i needed to go to Kroger to get some pills and whatever was on the list. the battery charger mom ordered from Amazon is supposed to be here tomorrow. i'm hoping that works or we'll have to get a new battery. joy.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday in a penalty shootout to advance to the next round of the FA Cup. between a win with just 10 men and the draw at Liverpool the week before, maybe the team finally believes in itself again.
i did watch the NFL playoffs yesterday. Bills defeated the Broncos, 31-7. Eagles beat the Packers, 22-10. and the Commanders defeated Tampa Bay, 23-20. tonight the Rams will take on the Vikings.
The Agency last night was excellent.
Dexter: Original Sin was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i will be watching Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
so, the 3 poems i wrote last night i will look back with a great sense of irony. the poems i will hopefully write tonight will have plenty of venom. i won't be shocked if i get real fucking close to the number i need by 4 in the morning.
i'm ultra depressed now given this shit today. i told mom i should have expected the Highlander not to start when my blood sugar was 99 this morning. for every good thing that happens, there has to be a negative to even it out.
i still have no clue what is going on with my health insurance. and i need to get my driver's license renewed sometime before my birthday on the 21st. joy.
there was something i wrote last night that really has me thinking today. this theory that maybe i am that person who never gets to really fall in love and have that kind of happiness in my life. part of me is so eager to not be alone anymore that i'm willing to overlook the obvious shit just for the chance. that makes me wonder if i'm just rolling the ball uphill just to watch it fall over and over again. i remember in my 20's an old girlfriend warned me i was becoming the bitter old soul. sure enough.
that's all for me kids.
i surely hope your weekend was better than mine.
on the bright side, i did get my laundry done.
now i have to go ice my bad back.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i got to the Toyota dealership on time, amazingly. i'm not a morning person anymore. after about 45 minutes, they told me what was up. the check engine light was not about the hose. i guess the thermostat is shot. and a speed censor needs replaced. they didn't have all the parts there, of course. so, at first they wanted me to just leave it and they'd get me a rental, etc. but, i wasn't interested in that since my back is being an asshole these days. so, i get to take the Highlander back on November 15th and they will fix it then. all in all, it should be (hopefully) less than $700 for everything. i already paid over $150 of that today. so, that was my morning.
i hope everyone has voted. if you have voted for the criminal, i'm not really interested in your thoughts or opinions. trust me, i do understand voting for the lesser of two evils. and sure, if i was a billionaire, i probably wouldn't want to pay taxes. but i'm not, and i vote accordingly. plus, given my years of history studying Russian propaganda, etc, it is real simple to pick up on it in the political ads, especially on the right. it is always about fear and a thinly veiled message of hate and discord. sadly, Ohio is so far to the fucking right now, there is no damn reason to watch election results tonight. i can already tell you what will happen. Trump will declare himself the winner tonight and warn that if the results change by morning, which they will, the fix is in and it was rigged. and then we get the fucking circus again, except he won't be doing this from the oval office this time. and honestly, he told everyone the plan the other day when he said he never should have left in 2020. what the fuck do you think he is planning this time? i honestly thought we fought a fucking revolution so we wouldn't have kings and queens here. or maybe the history i learned isn't what is taught these days.
ok, enough fucking politics...
The Voice was very good last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking insane last night.

so, i had wanted to get this blog done before Manchester United played this morning. in hindsight, i really wish i would have. unfortunately, i woke up a little later than i wanted and decided, let me actually enjoy breakfast instead of rushing through it. United pissed away chance after chance in the first half. thanks to a shitty penalty call in the second half, they lost to West Ham, 2-1. hard to blame this one on ETH, but i'm sure some will. not the way i wanted to start my Sunday.
the Yankees lost Game 2 last night of the World Series, 4-2, to the Dodgers. they are now down 2-0 in the series. the next 3 games are at Yankee Stadium. if the Yankees don't win Game 3, it will be more than likely a sweep.
Ohio State played like shit yesterday yet managed to beat Nebraska, 21-17. they play at Penn State next week.
the New York Rangers won last night at home over Anaheim, 2-1.
i did watch some college football yesterday:
AEW Collision was ok last night.

i did get everything on the grocery list. mom about shit when she saw i saved more than $50 at Kroger today.

the Yankees lost again last night at the Mets, 12-2. they start a series tonight at Toronto.

i did hear from my doctor's office this morning. apparently, they noticed on the rejection from my insurance company, they didn't fill out a part of the original prescription. so, they have done that now, i guess, and have resubmitted it. i just checked at Kroger and the Rybelsus should be ready by tomorrow afternoon. i told my mother if i die before her and it isn't suicide, put in the obituary he died most likely from a clerical error.
the second round of the NBA Draft is this afternoon. to be honest, all anyone is waiting for is when does LeBron James son get drafted.
the Copa America games start tonight at 6. i'll be watching those instead of the presidential debate.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i believe the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser, will be going to print soon.
i really wanted to get some sleep last night. but, i also knew i hadn't written any poems yet this month. so, of course, the poems won out. i was up around 6:30 this morning. at least i got 4 fucking hours of sleep. our contractor showed up at 7:30. i guess they are pulling him from this job to go do another. of course, he hasn't finished everything here yet. i guess he will be back here on Thursday, the same day the appliances are supposed to finally be here. so, i'm expecting that day to be pure fucking chaos.

so, mom's appointment at the heart doctor went well yesterday. her blood pressure was really good. i was pleased with the doctor, since he took it while she was sitting down as well as standing up. she doesn't have to go back to see him for 9 months.
after the appointment and mom's trip to McDonald's for her frozen coke, we went home. i turned on the Yankees game, hoping for the best. when the Yankees went up 3-1, i was really hoping they would win. of course, Aaron Boone's insistence on using the wrong pitchers at the wrong time made damn sure they wouldn't hold the lead. right after they scored the 3 runs to take the lead, they gave up 3 runs in the bottom of the inning and lost, 4-3. i know one thing for sure, i don't want to see the Mariners in the playoffs. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series tomorrow in Boston.

i need to go to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i'll do that before i take her to the eye doctor.
i might send the poems out today. if i do, that will happen when i get back home late this afternoon.

so, mom and i had biscuits and gravy for breakfast this morning. my sister had left some biscuits in the freezer the last time she was here. so, i thought i better use them finally, and we had one thing of sausage gravy left. we can't have this as often as we used to as there is too much sodium in the whole meal. but, it was good. after that, i knew Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was playing, so i found that on ESPN+. and the old tricks till works. anytime i need some sleep, i put on a soccer match between two teams i don't care about. sure enough, i got a good two hour nap in. works like a charm.
the Dayton Flyers lost at Saint Louis yesterday, 72-61. Dayton didn't shoot worth a fuck and didn't play defense worth a fuck either. that's a bad combo if you actually want to win.
the NHL All Star game yesterday was pretty good.
i did put out some better salt on the driveway yesterday. all the guy that mom paid did was get most of the snow off and didn't do that well either. i know damn sure we will never use him again. i'm hoping the salt will do most of the work for me as it gets a little warmer here. i need to go down and see if we got a Sunday paper today or not. the dumb fucks for the city of Brookville plowed the roads like they didn't know where the curbs were. everything is piled up so it is nearly impossible to get to the mailboxes or the paper slots. brilliant as usual.
