when my favorites die, i don't think of it as death. i think of it more as an escape. not many are reserved this judgment in my mind, but these two certainly are. Bob Uecker was a baseball player and announcer and honestly, one of the funniest humans to ever live. i was never a Brewers fan, but i did love listening to Bob call a game and bring back all the stories from his playing days. his Hall of Fame speech will be played forever. David Lynch was one of the most authentic humans that ever lived. his movies and tv shows gave me so much over the years. honestly, David gave me the strength to just say fuck it, and be weird. i'm sure he gave that to millions of people. both of these escapes today made me stop in my tracks. i'm just happy that i got to witness their greatness before my mind goes.
a delightful trip into the dark mind of an evil genius or simply the musings of an asshole

a day of pain, of course...
my life has this uncanny ability to always swing the positive to negative and negative to even more negative with fucking ease. i'm not sure if it is because my inner child has to always be in pain. or, does my ego enjoy the suffering and rising above it. or maybe this is all i really know. happiness is fleeting. pain is real. loss is real. the sad thing is, i really want to be happy. have fun. enjoy what little life i have left. and no matter what i do to try to make sure these fairytales are possible, nothing works. this is why i have such a laid back fuck it view of life, etc. there is no point in me fucking it up more than i already have. i suppose this is my reasoning for just accepting the pain and learning how to live with it. joy.
the Yankees won last night at the Royals, 3-1, to clinch the series. they will play either Detroit or Cleveland in the ALCS.

ohio against the world...
i am still buzzing from the Ohio State game last night. Ohio State defeated Notre Dame 17-14 on a TD with 1 second left in the game. Ryan Day had me all fired up in the postgame. you could tell just how pissed he was. and honestly, i don't blame him at all. how Notre Dame only had 10 guys on the field for the last two plays is beyond me. and their coach, who i love, his explanation doesn't make any sense. all in all, an instant classic.

a change in plans...
mom had down the wrong time for her physical therapy appointment today. now that i know it is later in the afternoon, i figured i would get the blog done now.
tonight is the first round of the NFL Draft. i'm really interested to see what the New Orleans Saints do with their two first round picks. and i can't wait to see where the Ohio State guys end up.
Monday, August 10, 2020
well, this day turned out better than i was hoping...
Manchester United won over Copenhagen 1-0 in Extra Time today in the quarterfinals of the Europa League. it was like pulling teeth at times, but at least they fucking won.
a few minutes after that was over, the NHL had their little show to see who will get the #1 Draft pick. and HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!! the New York Rangers will have it. talk about a stroke of fucking luck. i'm so fucking happy right now.
i didn't get to bed until around 7 this morning. i have just one more book of baseball cards to go through and then i will be completely done with that. i finally know all the cards and prices i am looking for. so, soon i will start posting some pics and hopefully, there are some of you out there interested in buying some.
the season finale of Perry Mason was good last night. i think they set up season two as well at the end.
Last Week Tonight was a rerun. i hate when the DVR records something i have already seen.
Big Brother was good last night.
The Chi was really good last night.
We Hunt Together was fucking crazy last night. i think i will like it... the music in the show was outstanding. that was stuck in my damn head all night.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and I May Destroy You. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i did listen to episode 303 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2020/8/10/notsam-wrestling-303-retribution-for-the-underground
i did watch a little of the NBA last night.
and i did watch some of Columbus beating Toronto last night, 3-0. the Blue Jackets will now face the Lightning, the same team they swept last season in the playoffs. that should be a violent as fuck series, i believe.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. it will be some time in the middle of me doing my laundry, most likely.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

apparently, the sun was taking the day off...
the USA women's team defeated Sweden today at the Women's World Cup, 2-0. that means they win the group and will face Spain on Monday. here are the others scores from today's games:
Netherlands defeated Canada 2-1, Cameroon over New Zealand 2-1 and Chile defeated Thailand 2-0.
in the Gold Cup last night, Martinique defeated Cuba 3-0 and Mexico defeated Canada 3-1. tonight, Nicaragua takes on Haiti and Costa Rica plays Bermuda.
NXT and NXT UK were really good last night.
both episodes of The Wrestlers were excellent last night.
i did get to the bank today and made a deposit. it looks like the bank had some roof damage and some windows blown out by the tornado. after that, i took a little drive down to the old Hara Arena. i saw so many hockey games and wrestling events there over my lifetime. to see the damage from the tornado and know the place will never exist again, it felt like a part of me was finally dead.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, Desus & Mero, two episodes of Life in Pieces, Baskets and Holey Moley.
the NBA Draft is tonight. i think the first three picks are pretty much a lock, so the draft really begins at number 4.
the New York Yankees start a series tonight against Houston. i really hope the Yankees just keep on winning.
my sister will be down here tonight. i think she's going to be here for a few days. joy.
i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.
until then, have a good one...

these are the days where i see just how easy it would be to be a sociopath...
i sent out 20 poems today. my arthritis was and still is fucking killing me today, so i wasn't able to copy and paste the poems into emails like normal. i had to retype all 20 poems. joy. i sent 3 poems each to Rusty Truck and The Beatnik Cowboy; 4 poems to The Rye Whiskey Review (already accepted for publication); 5 poems each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Academy Of The Heart And Mind. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
i did watch most of the NHL playoff games last night. i will hopefully catch some of the games tonight.
the Frozen Four was excellent last night. the championship game on Saturday will be Minnesota Duluth vs. UMass.
Better Things was excellent last night.
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.
i didn't fall asleep last night until 4 in the morning. it felt like i had a fucking locomotive racing down my spine most of the evening. apparently, i fell asleep right before the storms came. when i got out of bed around 9, it felt like every bone in my body was broken. good times.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas.
the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against the White Sox. the Yankees put their 12th guy on the injured list today. this team is killing me at the moment. they are already losing 1-0. joy.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. but in case i'm not, here's the preview:
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the weather isn't as crazy as it is here.

insomnia is taking over these days...
Vice News Tonight was very interesting last night. it showed what it is like for a family traveling in China for the Chinese New Year. very, very interesting.
Gotham was fucking great last night.
The Big Bang Theory was pretty funny last night.
Young Sheldon was pretty funny as well last night.
Will & Grace was fucking hilarious last night.
Life in Pieces was very funny last night.
Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.
Atlanta was fucking great last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher, High Maintenance and the two part season finale of Treehouse Masters.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Calgary. i'll probably check that out during commercials. i'm not expecting them to win tonight.
i did see the New York Yankees win on a walk off home run from Tyler Austin this afternoon. hopefully they are getting into the good habit of winning early this season. the dog days of the baseball season will be here before you know it.
i went to the bank before i went to the grocery store today. the guy in front of me at the back was a skinnier version of me. although, i think my goatee looks much better than his beard, his tattoos were much more elaborate than mine. and i am way too old now to be wearing shorts when it's 40 degrees out.
the grocery store went pretty well. i laugh at the number of women that seem scared of me when i turn down an aisle. of course, i doubt my cheery disposition can make it past this fucking wall.
i'll be on here tomorrow sometime before i go to the Dayton Flyers game in the afternoon. it's the last home game of the season. i'd love to see them win on Senior Day, but i won't be holding my breath. i believe mom is going to try to go to the game. that should be interesting.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

busy for a lazy person
i finally won a fantasy football match. 1-1 is certainly better than 0-2, which i am in my other league. i did go 11-5 on picks for the week. that's 3 games better than the week before.
i did watch a little of the Eagles win over the Bears last night. i'm not yet ready to declare Carson Wentz great yet. let him beat a good team first.
Monday Night Raw was mostly ho hum for the first 2 hours. then the cruiserweights finally came out. that match was a little sloppy but certainly kept me awake. the steel cage match between Owens and Reigns was good, until the fucking ending. why the fuck would you ever have your champion lose a match right before a ppv? oh, that's right, Vince wants all of us to think of Roman Reigns as the next John Cena. well, fuck you Vince. he's not. he's not even a good Roman Reigns yet. i just know they are going to fuck up this Clash of Champions coming up on Sunday.
The Big Bang Theory was very funny last night.
Gotham was fucking spectacular. the show just keeps getting better.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i do enjoy that Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus are shaking up the show a bit. a few of the singers were really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown, Scream Queens, Atlanta and The Voice. i'll probably end up watching USA vs. Canada in the World Cup of Hockey for a little bit tonight. it's a MUST WIN game for team USA.
the New York Yankees will try to stop their losing streak tonight down in Tampa. i won't be watching.
i did send out 17 poems today. 6 each to In Between Hangovers and ZYX; 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.
before i mailed out the poems, i made a deposit at the bank. the bank i go to isn't that far away from where there was a murder last night. good times.
after the bank, i went to the local grocery store to get milk and bread. a note to the stunning blonde i saw in the store and was parked in front of me in the parking lot: WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? of course, she was absolutely not interested in me at all. i passed her once and made eye contact and smiled and i'm not sure if she saw me or was looking right through me. but, she will end up in some poems.
mom cancelled her appointment with the chiropractor. she's a little pissy that her doctor hasn't got back to her about the MRI. these are the times where i wish she was a drinker.
i still have trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me today kids.

raining in the sunshine
on the way to the grocery store last night, it started to rain. and i mean, it started to rain out of nowhere. barely any clouds and plenty of sunshine. totally fucking bizarre.
i do appreciate that mom allowed me to actually be an adult yesterday and do the grocery shopping by myself. i'm not sure if she really fears that i'm going to kill someone some day or she's going to get a call from jail if i'm out and about on my own... either are fucking possible, but i don't look for trouble. the grocery shopping went well, other than taking forever to find some fucking lemon extract. and it figures, i'm there by myself and all the lovely women i normally see when i'm there with mom are nowhere to be found. welcome to my life.
Manchester United defeated Southampton 2-0 yesterday. or should i say Zlatan Ibrahimovic defeated Southampton 2-0. it was probably the first time in years that at times during the game i actually thought i was watching the Manchester United teams that played under Sir Alex. Pogba played all 90 minutes and was brilliant for most of them. i don't want to get ahead of myself, but this team looks like it's going to be a special one this season.
team USA men's basketball team outlasted Spain yesterday, 82-76. they will play Serbia tomorrow in the gold medal game.
the New York Yankees must have enjoyed their day off in California as they destroyed the Angels last night, 7-0. Gary Sanchez is quickly becoming one of my favorite players. hopefully the dominance over the Angels continues tonight.
NJPW was pretty good last night.
Big Brother was a pretty fun show last night. mostly just highlights and some funny clips from the season.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH. i'll be watching NXT Takeover Brooklyn II for most of the evening.
i do plan on watching the gold medal soccer match between Brazil and Germany later today. that should be really good. (hopefully)
i've been watching soccer on and off all day so far. i got back from taking mom to the chiropractor in time to see Liverpool lose today. that brought a smile to my face.
mom has a doctor's appointment on Monday morning. hopefully that will start the paperwork so she won't have to drive to Columbus for work later on in the week. i've told her there is no fucking way she'll be able to do it and not feel totally fucking miserable. thankfully, the chiropractor told her the same thing. she of course thinks she has to do it because it's part of the job. so once again, i have to be the adult and tell her no.
i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning sometime. i think my sister is coming down for our uncle's birthday. plus, SummerSlam is tomorrow, so i'll be busy most of the day.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

a morning thunderstorm surely sets the tone
dystopia
i always wondered if i would live long enough to see the book of Revelations. if a certain jackass gets elected, i think i may have my answer.
we had a thunderstorm roll through here this morning. i've been achy since the moment i woke up this morning. good times.
i wrote 3 poems this afternoon and typed them up. i really like them and probably will include them in my next round of submissions.
the New York Yankees came back to reality yesterday and lost 4-1. they start a series with the Giants tonight. i wouldn't be shocked if a trade happened between the two teams. maybe not this weekend, but certainly by the end of the month.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. tonight will be the Battle Back competition. the first 5 evicted houseguests will compete against each other to see who goes back into the house.
Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was really good last night. i was happy to see Robert Kelly get more lines this week. he's one of my favorite comedians.
enjoy some music:
now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, NJPW and Treehouse Masters.
i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast yesterday. it was excellent. if you want to hear an amazing interview with #BROKEN Matt Hardy and some great insights on the draft, go here:
http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2016/7/21/wrestling-podcast-91-broken-matt-hardy
i saw this picture today and i thought it really summed up things precisely:
i saw that Manchester United lost to Borussia Dortmund over in China today, 4-1. good thing it's only the preseason. i just want them to be ready by the time the games actually matter.
the New York Rangers signed both of their restricted free agents today, Kevin Hayes and Chris Kreider. i really like both deals. the GM had a much better offseason this season than last. hopefully that means a better season, especially in the playoffs this coming year.
that's all for me kids. i need to go take a long shower and see if i can get my bones to stop aching.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. call if you need bail money.
