like an elephant sitting on my back

 it seems like i have had a bad back forever. it is probably more like over 20 years now. i have a knot in the middle of my back that i can't get loose. warm water didn't help. stretching, ice, etc., nothing. so, today has been one of those pain management days. joy. just what i wanted 3 days before my birthday.

i did have a very good conversation with an old friend this morning. she wants to give me a birthday present. now, i just have to figure out how to get to where she lives. good times.

AEW Dynamite was very good last night.

I Can See Your Voice was good last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Las Vegas.

got some good news last night on a potential poetry project. i have a good feeling about this one. hopefully, it will be coming out in late spring (fingers fucking crossed). i have to send some more poems, which i should get around to later tonight, most likely.

we are supposed to get some snow, so i figure when it gets bad, that will be when Rite Aid texts me to let me know my prescription is ready to pick up. and considering it is the shot i take for my type 2 diabetes, i kind of have to go get it.

i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon. 

i hope everyone is staying warm and is safe.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

here comes the rain, so i might as well do my laundry...

 on top of the fact, i'm out of bread, so i will be hitting the local grocery store sometime this afternoon. it would have been nice if i would have remembered that yesterday when i was shopping. oh well.

i turned off the Manchester United game yesterday when they were losing 2-0. they eventually lost to Brentford, 4-0. even worse, they are now at the bottom of the league for the first time in 30 years. now, i know it has been just 2 games, etc. etc. they play Liverpool next, so i can just imagine how bad it is going to get before it even starts to get fucking better.

thankfully, the day got better from there...

team USA defeated Austria yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-0. they play Sweden tonight for first place in the group.

shopping went pretty well yesterday. i didn't find everything, but i didn't break the bank to get what i got either.

the Yankees won last night in Boston, 3-2. IKF hit his first HR of the year and drove in the winning run with a safety squeeze. hopefully, the Yankees will win the series tonight.

the New Orleans Saints lost last night at Houston, 17-13. i put no stock into preseason football, so the loss doesn't bother me. none of the starters really played, so...

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, VICE, The Chi, City on a Hill, Flatbush Misdemeanors, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Last Week Tonight and the season finale of Westworld.

i do plan on doing my laundry today. given that the Yankees don't play until tonight, i'll have all afternoon to get it done.

thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

i need to go make breakfast, so that's all for me kids.

i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

until tomorrow...

nice enough to turn off the AC for a bit...

it's supposed to be pretty nice here the next couple days. i've turned off the AC and will hopefully air out the house for the next 48 hours.

i did type up those 14 poems last night. i think there are a few winners in there. those will go out sometime in July.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

i found some more baseball cards i didn't go through last night. probably 6 albums full of them. i did find some really good cards in some of them.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, AEW and Vice News Tonight.

i'm really hoping Manchester United wins today. i could really fucking use some alcohol.

i'm going to do the grocery shopping after the game is over. i'm hoping i'll be in a really good mood.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope this finds everyone well.

until tomorrow kids...

i'll get all the sleep i need when i'm dead...

last night was really great. 4 hours of pro wrestling. amazingly, both AEW and NXT hit home runs last night. and if this is how it's going to be on Wednesdays... holy shit, my Thursdays are going to be unproductive as hell.

NXT started off white hot and never really stopped last night. if i had to pick a winner, they would get my vote.

AEW was pretty good last night. two things they have going for them in my eyes is one of my favorite wrestlers of all time, Chris Jericho and my favorite tag team of right now, The Lucha Bros.

24/7 College Football was about the Florida Gators last night. it was a good show.

The Masked Singer was really good last night.

American Horror Story was excellent last night.

Cake was awesome last night.

i didn't watch a second of the baseball game last night. i wasn't surprised that Tampa won 5-1.

i did watch a little of the hockey last night. it's great that the season has finally started.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Young Sheldon, The Unicorn, Perfect Harmony and Mr Inbetween. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i had to go to the drugstore today to get some things for mom. when i got home, i started watching Manchester United. they played a listless 0-0 draw today in the Europa League. now, i can be positive and talk about the defense keeping a clean sheet. or i can bitch about a team that played 90 minutes and had more players injured than shots on goal. fucking pathetic.

the New York Rangers season starts tonight at home against Winnipeg. i'm a little disappointed with the number of kids the Rangers sent down. i would have loved to seen them playing up here and learning on the fly. oh well. hopefully, the season gets off to a good start and they shock some people this season.

i'm about halfway done with my laundry. i was hoping it was going to be cooler today. i don't think of 87 degrees on October 3rd as cool.

i may check out some of the football game tonight between the Rams and Seahawks.

i will be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

until then kids...

apparently, i have to sleep in shifts...

i have spent most of today either aching from the rain this morning or trying to find a spot for my right arm not to hurt. the massage chair has helped me get a couple naps in. but, i'm only sleeping 3 to 4 hours at night. it's fucking draining me, i know that.

the New York Yankees offense came to life last night, finally. they defeated Tampa 8-3. there's a chance for rain tonight, so i don't know if that game will be played or not. hopefully, it will be and the Yankees will win again.

Smackdown was good last night, but could have been much better. i do love that it seems that Kevin Owens is going to get a major push now.

205 Live was excellent last night.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and Snowfall. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network. i watched NXT UK this afternoon, it was good.

so, the rain woke me up this morning. after i took my blood sugar, i went out to get the paper. the trash truck was coming, so i figured i would wait around for it. i watched the fucker take the trash out of our can and leave the lid open and walk away. that truly pissed me off. i went back outside and brought the can back into the garage. thankfully, not much water got in it. i had to take the neighbor's cans up to their garages, so i got plenty of the rain this morning. it probably took me the rest of the morning to get to feeling better. joy.

i did see that Manchester United won again in Australia today, over Leeds, 4-0.

if i can block out the pain for long enough tonight, i'm going to try to get some writing done. i know i need to crank out a fresh batch of filth, as i have a few places in mind to send to.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. these hot and humid days are just a grind to get through anymore.

these are the days where i wish lived by the ocean or a lake, somewhere where i could just have some cool water nearby. i always had a dream when i was a kid that i would have a little slice of land that had a pond on it. the farm i used to live on had a little bit of running water in the back, a little creek. that's probably as close as i will ever get to it.

hope the heat isn't bad wherever you may be. until tomorrow kids...

happy Canada Day...

or how i like to call July 1st, happy free agency day. and thankfully, as a New York Rangers fan, i can actually be happy today. the Rangers signed the guy i desperately wanted them to sign, Artemi Panarin. that should be the jolt the offense really needs. and if their #1 pick this year is as good as i think he is, i fully expect the Rangers to make the playoffs this coming season. not bad for deciding to rebuild the team 1 1/2 years ago.

i was pleasantly pleased with what the Sacramento Kings did in free agency. they added some sensible depth to a young club that should be looking to take a leap forward next season.

at the Gold Cup last night, Jamaica defeated Panama 1-0 and the USA survived a listless performance and defeated Curacao 1-0.

so the semi-finals of the Gold Cup will be Haiti vs. Mexico on Tuesday and USA vs. Jamaica on Wednesday.

Sermon on the Mount was really good last night.

Big Brother was pretty good last night.

Our Cartoon President was hilarious last night.

City on a Hill was really good last night.

Big Little Lies was short again last night but excellent.

Euphoria was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Divorce. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the USA plays England in the Women's World Cup.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

hard to believe it's already July.

until tomorrow kids...
