sometimes life gets to that point where all the days just bleed together and you can end up in a bad movie that just bores you to death. these nights of 3 hours of sleep have me spinning my wheels. the rest of the day is just catching naps when i can and trying to play catch up with the news, sports, etc. joy.
i did watch plenty of football yesterday. i won a little money, but not nearly as much as i was hoping to.
the series finale of Power Book II: Ghost was good last night.
Big Brother was good last night.
The Penguin was amazing last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice and Monday Night Raw.
the Yankees play Game 2 of their series with the Royals tonight. hopefully, they will win.
the New Orleans Saints play tonight at the Chiefs. i'm hoping the Saints play well and win, but i'm not expecting it.
i should be on here tomorrow after mom and i get our COVID shots at Kroger. i'm hoping that goes smoothly.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

as i was in agony in the massage chair this morning, i told my mother these are the days why so many people become fucking addicts. i then started tapping my arm and asked for a lighter and a spoon. she laughed, mostly because with her fucked up back, she knows the misery. it's also why she probably won't leave me any money when she dies either.
i was in so much pain this afternoon that my body just shut down and went to sleep. of course, it doesn't help that i didn't get to bed until 4:30 this morning and woke up to a phone ringing a little before 9. joy.
the New York Rangers must have got the message from their coach last night about how will ALWAYS beats skill. they actually played a full 60 minutes last night, defeating the Lightning 4-1. now they have the blueprint on what they need to do each game for the rest of the season.
Manchester United defeated Chelsea today 2-1 in the League Cup. holy shit, that's 3 away wins in a row. i must be dreaming.
The Voice was pretty good last night.
Total Divas was good last night.
Mayans M.C. was excellent last night. the season finale next week should be amazing.
Mr. Mercedes was great last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, AEW, American Horror Story, Cake and The Bronx, USA.
i'm going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow, mostly because my physical therapy appointment is later in the afternoon and there is a shitload of wrestling on tomorrow that i want to watch. so, the morning is basically the only time i could do the blog.
Game 7 of the World Series is tonight. the road team has won every game. hopefully, that continues tonight.
it's still fucking raining, so i'm off to my massage chair for yet another session with ice packs. joy.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so mom and i drove past the old farm today. the bank barn was completely gone and just the frame of the hog barn was up. mom later drove back there by herself as she wants a couple rocks from the foundation of the bank barn to put out here at the new house. mom said she believes they tore them down just to have more farm land. i told her it's a damn good thing she didn't put a ton of money into fixing them over the years.
that trip coincided with going over to the guy who used to farm for us and signing paperwork for 2014 about the farm. hopefully we get a little money back from that. but, it involves the government, so i'm not expecting shit.
got another call from the state of Ohio asking if i am the one in charge of handling my father's estate. my sister got a call as well. i believe she told them that his "wife" died on July 4th. apparently, they didn't know that. i still have no clue if they were legally married or if my father had a new will. amazingly, mom has a copy of one from 1980 that he did. i'm starting to get the feeling that that one is going to be the one used. of course, i still believe i end up with a bill out of all of this. that's part of the reason why i have nothing in my name at the moment.
time for some music kids:
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. the tribute to Roddy Piper was perfect:
the matches were pretty good for the entire show. the divas matches were pretty good. i especially liked the match between Neville and Seth Rollins. plus, anytime you have Paul Heyman on a microphone, it's like listening to god speak:
now, let's enjoy some funny shit:
tonight will be a busy one. the New York Yankees start a series at home with the last place Red Sox. on the DVR will be Deadliest Catch, WWE Tough Enough, Total Divas and Tyrant. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer while watching the shows.
heard from a couple friends today. that was pretty cool.
sorry to cut this short, but i have trash to pick up and i get the feeling that i'm making dinner tonight. frozen pizza, here i come.
hope this finds everyone with a cool drink or a bong in their hands.
i think i got a sunburn today while i was fucking withe the bird feeders. hopefully that isn't too bad. not sure what visual you got from those last two sentences, but run with it and see where it gets ya.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

the one thing i knew i would hate about moving away from the farm would be being so fucking close to other people. yesterday was the perfect example. July 4th on the farm was really, just another fucking day. July 4th in "town", it's a big to do. and when every other jackass is shooting off fireworks, it gets a little fucking annoying after a few hours. i wrote a poem sort of about this while on the toilet this morning. i suppose i do my best thinking there. hopefully, i'll write a few more today, although i imagine mom is going to keep me busy.
and it looks like another day of sunshine here. so, there is a little part of me that would like to actually go out and enjoy it. i haven't had my summer ritual bad sunburn yet.
enjoy some music before i get to the events of yesterday:
i did watch all of the Copa America final yesterday. i was stunned that Argentina blew that chance to win at the death of regulation. and then a little more stunned when Chile beat them in penalty kicks, 4-1. hard to believe Messi can be so good with his club and then be virtually invisible at times with his country. congrats to Chile on their first ever Copa America title.
the New York Yankees scored early yesterday and were cruising. cruising to the point where i actually fell asleep. so, imagine my surprise when i woke up to a 2-2 score, right after Betances blew the save by giving up a 2 run homer. i cleared my eyes and settled in for the bottom of the 9th. Tex got a miracle double. Jose Pirela came in to pinch run for him. Chris Young couldn't get a bunt down but managed to work a walk anyway. that brought up Ramon Flores:
walk off wins in back to back days. i'll take it. they go for the sweep this afternoon.
the rest of the night was helping mom put up some stuff around the house, carry in boxes from the garage and watch some fireworks:
i did watch most of ROH last night (i finished it up this morning). a great main event between Red Dragon and Elgin vs. The Kingdom. and if you haven't seen Dalton Castle wrestle, i urge EVERYONE to do so.
another music break as i need to get some water:
after the Yankees game today, the USA women play Japan in the finals of the Women's World Cup. i can't believe the USA hasn't won the World Cup since 1999. hopefully that changes. after that is over, it will be time for the Sunday night shows. now, all of this will be on the DVR as i have no clue how long the soccer game will go. so, tonight i'll be watching Big Brother (mostly just to see the little details of what i already know), True Detective, Ballers and The Brink. closing out the night will be the season finale of Penny Dreadful. i saw this morning that the show will be coming back in 2016 for season 3. that made me very, VERY happy. hopefully the season finale is a great one.
i imagine if i still have any energy left, i will be doing some typing late tonight. i'm hoping the words keep on flowing after that poem i wrote this morning. it has the makings of a really good one.
that is all for me today. i hope everyone had a safe and wonderful 4th of July. enjoy the rest of the weekend.

i'm sure that title has you wondering what the fuck happened. more on that in a little bit. but first, for National Poetry Month today, i wanted to shine a little light on Interior Noise Press.
one of the finest small presses around, head on over to the site and check out. or more importantly, BUY some of the poetry there from yours truly, Jason Floyd Williams, Doug Draime, Mather Schneider, James Babbs, Justin Hyde, Glenn Hardin and Carl Miller Daniels. pick up any of these books and you will not be disappointed.
in other artsy fartsy news, my good friend and artist from Sweden, Janne Karlsson, has a new book out. you can find it on amazon.com by going here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1926860462
so i went with mom to the store and we got a few things plus a good number of storage bins that were on sale. so, as i was loading them into the car, the 7 lids that were together came back and smacked me right in the face. busted open a nice gash on the bridge of my nose. once i got the bleeding stopped i told my mother i hope it scars. that would be one where i really could make something creative up about it.
we did some more cleaning over at the farm today. i was feeling miserable as it has been raining on and off all damn day long. or it was the Burger King i had for lunch. we've got a ton of shit to do tomorrow as well. so, i don't know if i will get to watch Manchester United play or not.
the New York Rangers blew a lead last night but immediately came back to win 3-2 in regulation to clinch the division last night. that gives them home ice for the playoffs for the first two rounds. here are the highlights from last night:
the Late Late Show with James Corden was brilliant last night. to record a show from a stranger's house was one of those out of the box ideas that i absolutely loved. plus, the woman from Australia visiting happened to be fucking beautiful. i'm sure that helped. here's a few highlights from the show:
what a fucking excellent show.
i've got a ton of shit i'm putting on the DVR tonight; The Grace Helbig Show, NJPW, etc etc. my sister is down for the weekend, so i figure i'll either be doing something with her and the family this evening or in my room listening to some music. all i know is i really need to ice my back down, so i'm wrapping this fucker up.
hope everyone has a great weekend. if you are into the Easter shit, enjoy it. if not, enjoy the candy.

my neck still hurts. i figure it is a combination of the pinched nerve and the fucking weather. i see the doctor in a few days, so we'll see.
it has been very dreary and gloomy here today. rain and then more rain. and now some wind and the temperatures are dropping. have i ever told you how my bad back loves a cold front?
the Dayton Flyers took Georgia Tech behind the woodshed last night and beat the shit out of them. a 75-61 win that every fan will remember as a wonderful Christmas gift. the former coach of Dayton is still stuck in his ways that never got Dayton past superior mediocrity. i can't imagine he'll be at Georgia Tech for long. here are some highlights from last night:
after the game, i sat down in my chair to exhale and happened to look to the right. holy shit. the guy about 5 feet from me looks an awful like the pro wrestler Chris Hero. i tell my mom this because i bought one of his t-shirts for myself for Christmas. she looks at him and says that can't be him, too small. i take another look and say that's definitely him. sadly, he was busy talking to a guy and i'm not the type of asshole that will interrupt someone for a autograph or picture request. so, after we ate dinner at Waffle House, i got on the internet back at the farm. i went to his twitter account (@thechrishero) and sure enough, the last two tweets posted were about the Dayton basketball game. i showed my mother and she finally started to believe me.
i watched a little of the New York Rangers replay before i went to bed last night. i'm extremely happy with this 7 game winning streak. they are really starting to look like a team that can do some damage this season. here are some highlights from the 4-2 win over Washington:
those two victory beers went down very quickly. i think i may crack open the vodka my sister got me for Christmas to celebrate my fantasy football championship.
i've been a busy boy today on iTunes. you'll see what i'm talking about below.
i hope everyone is having a great Christmas Eve. whether you are with family or a hooker, i do hope you enjoy your time. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your time.
