the calm before the storm...

 so, yet another night where i only got 4 hours of sleep. but, i do feel like i had a pretty damn productive day yesterday. i know where my next 8 poems are going. plus, i got a good shower in and actually did decent on some bets. so, let us begin...

Ohio State defeated Northwestern yesterday at Wrigley Field, 31-7.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday...

the Dayton Flyers defeated Capital last night, 76-55.

AEW Collision was good last night.

the New Orleans Saints play today at home against the Browns.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Seattle.

i did watch 2 more episodes of Say Nothing yesterday. i highly recommend checking this show out. i have 3 more episodes to watch.

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

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

until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

why am i used to only getting 4 hours of sleep and still being able to function...

 honestly, i think because i used my drug use as a teenage as a means to expand my brain, etc. instead of just wanting to get high as fuck... my brain is really different than most people i know. i tend to do better on the less sleep i get. i know that bubble will fucking burst at some point, so i might as well enjoy the ride now. my thoughts on a few things will be coming up, but first...

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

speaking of poems, i wrote 3 last night. they will be part of a submission i am sending out tomorrow.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against Toronto, 9-8. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

the national championship is now set in college basketball...

NXT Stand and Deliver yesterday was good.

night 1 of WrestleMania 40 was amazing. most of the matches were really good. i had tears in my eyes when Sami Zayn upset GUNTHER to win the intercontinental championship, especially since he busted out a move i haven't seen him do since he went by El Generico. i am hoping for more chaos tonight and i really want Cody to somehow defeat Roman.

AEW Collision was good last night.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA yesterday:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the series finale of The Regime, the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm, A Gentleman in Moscow and Last Week Tonight.

Manchester United and Liverpool had a 2-2 draw this morning. United was trailing at halftime. they took a 2-1 lead in the second half. but, of course, they gave away a penalty late for the draw. but, i'll look at this as Liverpool dropped 2 points and will hopefully not win the title this season.

i need to vacuum the house today. i guess that is going to be my mother's wake up alarm since she is still in bed.

i will be doing my laundry tomorrow during the eclipse, so i will be on here sometime during that.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

nothing like going to bed when the sun comes up...

 yesterday was long, crazy, good, etc. and i might as well start from where we left off yesterday...

the Yankees were in the process of being no hit again yesterday. 6 1/3 fucking innings of ineptitude and then Stanton crushed a home run to dead center. that seemed to wake up the dead. the Yankees were still down 3-1 though. thankfully, DJ LeMahieu hit a 2 run homer in the 8th to tie the game at 3. the game went to extra innings. Michael King survived the top of the 10th. and then, Dusty Baker showed his age by not walking Aaron Judge in the bottom of the 10th. he hit a three run homer that gave the Yankees a 6-3 victory. now, the Astros outpiched the Yankees by a mile in this series. but, both Yankee victories in the series spilt were punches to the dick. the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Oakland.

i did catch a little of the MLS game yesterday.

the AEW/NJPW Forbidden Door ppv yesterday was fucking great. 

i completely didn't know I Can See Your Voice was going to be on yesterday. it was pretty good.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Westworld was excellent last night. i'm really looking forward to the new season.

Vice was really good last night.

The Chi was great last night. the new season looks like it should be really good.

The Man Who Fell To Earth was excellent last night. i can't wait for the season finale next week.

Flatbush Misdemeanors was really funny last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, Miz & Mrs and Don't Forget the Lyrics.

i did listen to episode 401 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

i only caught the highlights from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup final last night. thank god Colorado won 2-1 and won the Stanley Cup.

the New York Rangers have 10-1 odds to win the Stanley Cup next season. i might have to put a little money down on that.

considering it is 6 PM and i haven't had lunch yet, you can say i'm running a little behind today.

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

i hope everyone had an amazing weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

get the fucking shot.

choking on nostalgia can be dangerous...

i haven't slept well at all this week. i'm sure it has to do with the stress i'm having for my procedure next week (which i still haven't got any fucking paperwork for). i was driving to get gas this morning and a song came on the radio that the girlfriend i had when i was 27 decided that it was "our" song. holy shit, that was a flood of fucking emotions coming back. after getting the gas, nearly $30 worth, i had to go to Rite-Aid to get some stuff. and of course, the vitamins mom wanted weren't there. joy.

i wrote 12 poems today while mom was doing her physical therapy. i typed those up this afternoon. i really like a few of them. i think i have written over 30 now in November.

the Dayton Flyers won last night against Nebraska Omaha 93-68. it was probably the best defense i have seen them play in a long time. and Dayton can really score. i'm not going to be surprised when they put over 100 points on someone this season. and they still haven't had all their players healthy yet. easily the deepest Dayton team in years.

the USMNT defeated Cuba last night, 4-0, to win the group and advance to the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Nations League. i think they will play Honduras in June or something like that.

the series finale of The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking great last night.

The Voice was good last night. i have no objections over the two that got eliminated.

Total Divas was good last night.

WWE Backstage was excellent last night. CM Punk can still cut the best damn promo of anyone in his generation.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Masked Singer, NXT and AEW.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Washington. i'd love to see the Rangers end their losing streak tonight, but i'm not expecting it, that's for sure.

i'm hoping mom's new glasses and/or walker will arrive before Thanksgiving.

i don't think i have any plans tomorrow, so i'll probably be on here in the afternoon.

that's all for me kids. i need to go ice down my aching back.

until tomorrow...

a sleepy weekend in the shade

here are your links for national poetry month:

today has been one of my lazy days. not that i haven't done things. did a couple loads of laundry for my mother, got the paper and mail in town. it's just the weather is so damn nice that all i have the energy to do is eat a little candy and sleep in my chair.

mom hasn't felt dizzy since the surgery so she is very happy about that. she's worried that she stills hears sounds in her ear that shouldn't be there. i tell her to not worry about it, just let the body rest and heal, but what the fuck do i know... i told her the bright side of losing all her hearing in her left ear is she won't hear me as well when i yell at the basketball games. i sit on her left at the games.

the New York Yankees got out to a nice lead last night and i felt good. and then, the bullpen shit the bed and somehow 4-0 became a 11-5 loss. ouch. they play again tonight. hopefully they can get back to their winning ways.

been flipping between soccer, playoff hockey and playoff basketball today. rinse and repeat for tomorrow as well.

i'm hoping i will be awake for ROH this evening. i believe it is on after the Ten Commandments. there's a poem there i believe.

i'll probably do another post in the morning tomorrow as around 11 am my day gets crazy. Manchester United plays in the morning and the New York Rangers play game 2 of their series at noon. plus, it's Easter and it's also the day to pick up the trash and recyclables. there's a poem there as well.

hope everyone is having a great weekend. enjoy the candy. be well. be creative. be the shining light hiding the train.

peace...
