i didn't hear any sirens...

apparently, there was a tornado a few miles away from where i live last night. i didn't know anything about it until around 3 in the morning or so. the way the weather has been here lately, tornadoes around here aren't that surprising anymore.

the New York Yankees broke out the bats yesterday and defeated Tampa, 13-5 to go back into first place in the AL East. the Yankees start a series tonight at Baltimore. hopefully the offense can keep on rolling.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

team USA did defeat Germany yesterday 3-1 at the Hockey World Championships. they play Canada tomorrow. the win over Germany did give team USA a spot in the quarterfinals.

the season finale of Barry was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

WWE Money in the Bank was pretty good last night, right up until the last 5 minutes of the show. when Brock Lesnar's music hit, i wanted to puke. having him win the Money in the Bank contract is fucking stupid. and i do understand this is Vince's reaction to the ratings being down, etc. but god forbid you put in the time to create new stars for the fans to be excited about.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Carpool Karaoke and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i do plan on watching some of Warriors vs. Trailblazers tonight as well.

the weather really cooled down today. it felt good to open up the house and let the breeze in again.

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

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

sometimes, there is no pleasure in the pain...

the rain last night was just enough to have me in misery for most of the night. and as good as i am at finding pleasure in the pain on most days, last night certainly wasn't one of those nights. 2 more days until i start drinking again. i can barely contain my joy.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees defeated the Twins last night 14-1. Miguel Andujar is on a streak that is hotter than hot at the moment. when your name is being tossed around with Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, you know you are doing something right. the game got so bad last night, the Twins used a position player to get the final outs. hopefully the Yankees can win again tonight.

The Voice was pretty good last night. i have no clue who is getting eliminated tonight.

The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special was pretty good last night.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. i am really looking forward to the Greatest Royal Rumble this Friday from Saudi Arabia.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Chris Gethard Show, The Jim Jefferies Show and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i am bringing along my little notebook while mom is at her physical therapy session. i'd love to write a few more poems for this month. i'll have plenty to choose from for my submissions for May then.

after her physical therapy, i believe we're going to go to the Menards store down there. that's the only place around here where i can find pepper suet for a good price. the birds love that shit and the squirrels hate it. and i think we need a few other things as well. after that, it will be a really late lunch/early dinner someplace down there. and once we get back home, i'll have to do the trash and hopefully get that done before all the shows begin.

hence why i'm doing the blog this morning.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

now i need to go take a shower. enjoy that visual.

there must be something in the water...

i decided a few months ago to make my Google Hangouts public just in case any friends or fans wanted to get in touch with me. what it truly has done has brought every scam artist in the world to chatting with me. sadly for them, i have caught on. so, if you happen to be a genuine person and have no interest in fucking me over, i do apologize for being an asshole right from the get go. as for the rest of you, best of luck convincing me that you need money because you are stuck in Ghana or need help getting through nursing school or my favorite one, you need money because you have been left behind on your trip with UNICEF.

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

a little more poetry news to pass on. i heard back from Philosophical Idiot on my poetry submission i sent back in August of last year and then asked to send again last week. they decided to pass on the poems. this made me laugh. truly. so the plan is for me to get these poems published as a group of five at a certain place so you can see what another place happens to reject. just another way for me to perhaps help any of the younger poets out there with a little trick to make you a better poet. so more on that in early May.

the New York Yankees won yesterday against Toronto 5-1. it wasn't the Yankees top prospect they called up that stole the show yesterday. it was two other younger players that did the job. the Yankees lineup had no one in it that was over 30 years old. this was the first time they had a lineup like that in April since the early 40's i believe. i'm very happy to see them truly commit to being a younger team. now, let the kids grow into the jobs and let another dynasty build in the next few seasons. they start a series with the Twins tonight at home.

Westworld was spectacular last night. i forgot just how much i enjoyed this show. season 2 looks like it should be amazing.

Barry was very good last night.

Silicon Valley was hilarious last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.

Homeland was really good last night. the season finale next week should be great.

Billions was excellent last night.

Drop the Mic was pretty fucking funny last night.

the rain started this afternoon. thankfully, the grass got cut yesterday. now, if only the turf company mom uses would have fertilized the grass before it started raining instead of during the rain this afternoon.

it was really coming down when i went to the grocery store to pick up my prescription.

but, the weekend weather was really nice for a change.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as mom has physical therapy in the afternoon. and then we have to do a late lunch plus some shopping at Menards while south of town. so, given the traffic at that hour down there, if i'm back up here by 7 PM, i'll be stunned.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

spinning the wheels in my brain

after another night of not falling to sleep until 3:30 in the morning, i get the feeling i might as well just stay the fuck up for the next 4 or 5 days and then fucking crash. of course, i will be making 4 trips to Columbus and back in the next couple of days, so, for the sake of other drivers, i'll try to get some better sleep. mom has a conference up there on Thursday and Friday and i can't find anywhere comfortable in my sister's condo to sleep. so, i guess i'll see what my future vehicle is made of.

The Voice was good last night, all the usual suspects remained on the show.

Total Divas was a hot mess as usual.

i did enjoy the James Corden Carpool Karaoke special last night. it's amazing how well Jennifer Lopez has aged. DAMN.

Deadliest Catch was phenomenal last night. it's good to see some new blood on that show after so many seasons. looks like it is going to be another amazing season.

i was very happy that team USA showed the fuck up last night and easily destroyed Guatemala 4-0. it's amazing what happens when you play the players in the right positions. they should easily get to the next part of World Cup qualifying now.

sadly, the U-23 USA team didn't have the same luck that the national team did. they lost to Colombia last night 2-1. actually, Colombia scored all 3 goals and the USA only had 9 players on the field by the end. it was that kind of night. sadly, no fucking Olympics again.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i'll be watching NXT and some other things on WWE Network at some point tonight.

i did watch JBL's interview with Michael Hayes last night. i grew up watching The Fabulous Freebirds so i absolutely loved this interview.

i really enjoyed Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i love how Dean Ambrose is just fucking different than everyone else. hopefully the company realizes he IS going to be the face of the company whether they like it or not.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade today from one of my favorite bands EVER. i'll post the link in the music section below.

i did a little poetry work this afternoon. i'm either going to send out some poems tomorrow or wait until the weekend to do it. one batch involves going to the post office and it's supposed to be raining cats and dogs tomorrow, so i don't know. of course, once i get back home from taking mom to Columbus, what the fuck else am i going to do?

so let's just say i'll be on here tomorrow after a late afternoon trip to the post office. i do need to get some sleep tonight though. mom needs to be up there by 11 in the morning or something like that. so that means leaving here sometime before 10 in the morning, so hopefully i'll be awake.

hope this finds everyone settling into Spring or getting hammered in the afternoon, like any good writer should do.

the joy of running on fumes

i believe 40+ years of shitty sleep might be finally catching up to me. when you find yourself falling asleep while typing an email, it might be a problem. i went outside to get a little sun hoping that would help. we'll see. but, the birds are happy the feeders are full again.

Monday Night Raw had some great moments last night and a ton of what the fuck are they thinking. it kind of reminds me of last year. WrestleMania looked like it was going to be horrible but turned out to be good. hopefully the same thing happens this year. but, with all the injuries and the company unwilling to create new stars, i'm not sure yet. i did enjoy the Daniel Bryan special on WWE Network last night. i love all those behind the scenes type shit. i forget what is on the network tonight. i won't have the time anyway, tonight is a bit of a clusterfuck on television.

Gotham was great last night. i didn't see some of the twists coming, which is really great. the show keeps getting better each week.

The Voice has reached the knockout stage of the season. i was pretty happy with who got picked for the live shows, even though i'm not really sure what the fuck Pharrell is doing this season.

it should be interesting to see what happens tonight.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Deadliest Catch, Total Divas and the Carpool Karaoke special.

but for most of the night i will be watching soccer. it is the put up or shut up night for the USA. first up will be a World Cup qualifying game vs. Guatemala. if they lose at home to that team, the coach should be fired on the spot. next up will be the U-23 team against Colombia to qualify for the Olympics. all the USA needs is a scoreless draw or a win of any kind and they advance. after missing the last Olympics, they really need to make it to this one. hopefully i am drinking a couple victory beers tonight. if not, i'm going to be really fucking pissed.

i did the trash and cleaned the toilets earlier today. hopefully i can get my uncle's trash done before the games start.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone is doing well.
