a rainy Sunday morning...

 so, it started really raining last night and it really hasn't stopped. the wind is supposed to really pick up today. i'm hoping the recyclables don't go all over the place since the fucking trash company forgot to pick them up. i took a shower late last night. it didn't really help, but at least i felt clean.

i did watch all 3 NFL games last night. i had a huge bet on the Bengals game last night. i won a $222 bonus bet on Draftkings from Christmas Day. of course, i used it last night on two Bengals scoring touchdowns. the running back got stopped at the 1 multiple times last night. and the wide receiver i had dropped a touchdown. that pretty much sums up my gambling life. any chance i really get to get ahead, the universe always ask me, what the fuck do you think you are doing? i had my father's voice in my head last night. i remember vividly when he told me i would never amount to anything and there would always be a need in the world for people to dig ditches and graves. imagine saying that to your son at 9 years old all because you were mad because you had to wait an entire year to be able to write him off of the taxes when he was born. 

the Chargers beat the Patriots, 40-7. the Bengals beat the Broncos, 30-24, in OT. the Rams beat the Cardinals, 13-9.

the USA beat Latvia at the World Juniors yesterday, 5-1. today, they play Finland.

the New York Rangers lost last night at Tampa, 6-2.

i did catch some of the college football games yesterday:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Agency and Dexter: Original Sin.

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

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the afternoon.

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.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

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

i've had better days...

 so, the remnants of the hurricane have been pounding us all damn day. my arthritis is having a field day. but, that was just the start of the shit day i have had. my doctor's appointment was at 2:30. i got there at 2:15. i checked in and the woman at the desk said they tried to call you this morning because the woman you were supposed to see isn't here today. i never got the message or heard the phone. more on that in a bit. she asked me if i wanted to reschedule now? i said yes. i was hoping that someone there later in the afternoon would have an opening. of course not. so, my appointment now will be Monday at 12:30. joy. i texted mom to ask her to check the messages and see if they called this morning to reschedule my appointment. now, the doctor's office is about a 30 minute drive from the house. so, there was a hour of me driving in the rain today. i got home, and of course, mom knew nothing of the text message i sent. she told me before i left that she checked the phone and there were no messages. she checked again when i got home and i guess the doctor's office called at 7 this morning. i didn't get up until 8:15. so, i now get to be the one to always check the messages. we get 50 fucking calls a day from spam or fuckers trying to get mom to switch her Medicare. i'm at the point where i want to get rid of the land line and preferably with a shotgun. and i'm in too much pain to be angry. these are the days where the 8 year old me is laughing in the corner, shaking his head, knowing he was right. (for anyone who doesn't get the reference, i was 8 years old the first time i ever thought of suicide)

the Yankees won last night at home against Baltimore, 10-1. that clinches the AL East. they have a magic number of 2 for the best record in the American League. they start a series tonight at home against Pittsburgh.

the New York Rangers played at home last night against Boston. they won the preseason game, 5-2.

Big Brother was good last night. Leah was the first evicted. Angela was the second eviction. Makensy is the new HOH.

The Old Man was very good last night.

NJPW was a rerun last night.

i did watch some of the boring ass game between the Cowboys and Giants.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Inside the NFL, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow.

of course, that really depends on my pain tolerance i suppose.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow friends...

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

one of those days where you're stuck in neutral...

 the drought here is only getting worse. my back and pinched nerve and arthritis has had one of those days where i really could have used a bathtub of ice or a fucking morphine drip. jesus christ. but, the joy of a high pain tolerance is plowing through all the bullshit and getting shit done. yeah.

the Yankees won last night at home against Boston, 2-1, in 10 innings. Juan Soto had the walk off single. Baltimore didn't play last night, so the lead in the division is now 2 games. hopefully, the Yankees will win again tonight.

Big Brother was good last night. Quinn got evicted. Leah is the new HOH.

i did watch both episodes of The Old Man on Hulu today. they were really good. looks like it should be a great season 2.

Buffalo defeated Miami last night, 31-10. i didn't watch much of the game.

hot and humid in late July...

it is hot and humid today. of course, it is late July in Ohio... it is supposed to be hot and humid.

i slept like shit last night. DraftKings and I got into it. i thought i had won a bet on the USWNT that would have won me over $36 on bet of .66 cents. well, after they paid, they must have found some other stats that showed i was wrong, so they took the money away. i sent them a complaint, wondering why the official stats show that i have a win for the number of corners and somehow, their stats have something else. they would never answer any of my questions. it kind of reminded me of what a shitty parent does. it is what it is because i said so. nothing is based in fact or truth. so, as i told my mother, this is why the house always wins. it is really easy to do when you simply change the fucking rules as you go along. this will be one of those things i will be pissy about for a long damn time.

the USWNT defeated Germany yesterday, 4-1.

the Yankees won last night at Boston, 8-2. they start a series tonight at the Phillies.

Big Brother was good last night. 

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

mom just had me cancel her physical therapy appointment today. she's feeling dizzy, which most likely means the humidity got to her and her Meniere's Disease is in overdrive. joy.

i'll probably watch some of the Olympics today and hopefully, catch up on some sleep.

i hope everyone had a great weekend...

 so, after struggling to get two hours of sleep last night, i finally decided to go to my massage chair. i put some ice on my back and holy shit... woke up 4 hours later actually feeling refreshed. that's probably the first time in weeks i have been able to get 4 hours straight.

that will lead right into the WWE King and Queen of the Ring tomorrow afternoon from Saudi Arabia. so, around 3 in the morning might be the only chance i have to do the blog, send out some poems, etc.

up too early on a Saturday...

 so, i got up this morning at 6:50 AM. i was hoping to sleep to around 9. so much for that. the contractor hasn't called this morning, so i'm assuming he hasn't found the part he needs to make sure the dishwasher doesn't leak. god forbid the company actually call a plumber to do this.

yet another humid day...

 i had to go to Rite Aid this morning to pick up some prescriptions. it is really humid today. you know, the air you can wear type shit. so, i fully expect we'll have some thunderstorms this evening.

so, the USMNT lost last night to Panama on penalty kicks. the one thing that frustrates me the most about the USMNT is they are never clinical with the chances they create for themselves. they could have scored 20 seconds into the game last night. instead, it goes off the post. and honestly, it is those few inches where this whole program needs to get better. 

Panama will now play Mexico on Sunday for the Gold Cup.

AEW Dynamite was pretty damn good last night.

Mayans M.C. last night was excellent. the series finale is next week.

not sure how much deeper a depression can get...

 now, i think i do a pretty decent job fighting my depression, battling through. but, the last few days, maybe it is the heat or maybe it is my lingering thoughts on mortality, the depression has been sinking deeper and deeper into me. and as much as i can drink away the pain or clear my head with a cold shower, nothing really works. not even a beautiful woman telling me how good i look lifts my spirits. good times.

i did vacuum the house last night. of course, after i did that mom decided she wanted to open the box her new light was in and to put it together. i looked at all the Styrofoam and cardboard on what i just vacuumed. i just started to laugh. honestly, why the fuck do i even bother to do this shit anymore? of course, i ended up putting the light together. as much as she wants to think she can still do things, the more she has to realize that she can't.

Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final went to Las Vegas last night. they beat Florida, 5-2. Game 2 is Monday night.
