why i love pro wrestling...

 night 2 of WrestleMania 40 was awesome. when the cash in happened in the first match, i told mom it was going to be a crazy night. i absolutely love they started the main event before 10 PM. and that main event had everything. as i explained to my mother, Cody and Seth had to lose on Saturday for Cody to have a chance to win on Sunday. to see the Undertaker come back to confront The Rock was a big shock to me. but most of all, i was so damn happy that Cody won and finished the story. now, it will be very interesting to see where WWE goes from here. i have to believe this was the biggest WrestleMania of all time. 

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

the Yankees won yesterday at home against Toronto, 8-3. they start a series tonight at home against the Marlins.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Montreal, 5-2. they tied their season record for wins last night.

the series finale of The Regime was crazy.

the series finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm was hilarious.

A Gentleman in Moscow was very good last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

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 Voice and Monday Night Raw.

i'm mostly done with my laundry. i'm hoping my clothes will dry before all the shit begins tonight.

the national championship game between UConn and Perdue is tonight.

i was stunned to see the news last night about Kentucky's coach leaving to go coach Arkansas.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to get her injection in her back.

until tomorrow kids...

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:

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.

welcome to national poetry month

 i try to do something with this blog every April to highlight poetry in one way or another. given how hectic my life is at the moment, i am going to do bare minimum shit this year. i do plan on having 3 different videos in the blog each day of poetry. any day where you see just my videos, you know that was one of those busier than shit days, etc.

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

the New York Yankees won yesterday at Houston, sweeping the Astros, 4-3. they start a series tonight at Arizona.

the final 4 is now set. congrats to Purdue and NC State.

A Gentleman in Moscow was very good last night.

The Regime was really good last night. the series finale is next week.

i made a trip to the bank today to deposit a check and it took way longer than it should have.

Orkin started a day early out here. i think they wanted to get most of the outdoor stuff done so they can do the inside stuff tomorrow when it is supposed to be raining cats and dogs.

i did watch the Bray Wyatt documentary this afternoon on Peacock. i highly recommend it and bring along some tissues. you WILL cry watching it.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh.

i have to get up early as fuck tomorrow, so that's all for me kids.

a big thank you to everyone that checked out my latest published poems:

happy i wish i could still eat chocolate day...

 happy easter to everyone that celebrates this. for the rest of us, hope you enjoy the candy. for us diabetics, well, i share in the misery. my body has decided it can no longer break down chocolate, so i have given it up. so, easter to me has now become a cruel mistress of past joy.

so, since we are on the misery tip, let me talk about Manchester United. United was fucking awful yesterday. after 15 minutes, you could tell they were completely uninterested in the game. if Brentford would have been clinical yesterday in the final third, they would have won by three or four goals. instead, Mason Mount scored late for United. and probably no sooner than i said don't fuck this up, Brentford equalized. 1-1 draw. a point that United didn't deserve at all.

the New York Rangers won yesterday at the Coyotes, 8-5. Jonathan Quick now has the most goalie wins for any American born goalie. 

the New York Yankees won last night at the Astros, 5-3. third straight come from behind win. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

i did watch some college basketball last night. congrats to UConn and Alabama. the other half of the final four will be set today.

 for every USA soccer fan, they know exactly what that means. and i'm sure every fan of the Mexican national team is sick of it. tough shit. the USMNT defeated Mexico last night, 2-0, to win their 3rd straight Concacaf Nations League title.

i got 11 out of the sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. not as good as i wanted and not as bad as i feared.

it was fun while it lasted...

 i was hoping the Dayton Flyers were going to get off to a great start yesterday against Arizona. silly me. Dayton fell down by 17 yet again. they had a nice 10-0 run to end the half down only 7. they even got it down to 3 in the second half. but, you can't fall down that much to really good teams and continually pull the rabbit out of your ass and win. sadly, Dayton hasn't learned that lesson yet. Arizona won yesterday, 78-68. 

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Florida, 4-3, in a shootout.

i did watch a good number of college basketball games yesterday:

fucking squirrels...

 so, the guy from Orkin was here today. they did a full inspection of the house and figured out that we have a fucking family of squirrels living in the attic. now, their fix for this is to remove all the insulation, disinfect everything, replace the insulation and close up all the places the fucking flying rats have been getting in. they also are going to put a shield over our gutters as part of that. and for shits and giggles, we're going to protect for termites just in fucking case. so, basically, this will cost the money set aside for a new vehicle. so, i guess the 2002 Toyota Highlander will have to survive another decade or so. good times. not exactly how i wanted to spend an afternoon while it snows on and off today. fuck me.

i did watch the NCAA selection show yesterday. Dayton was one of the last four teams called. fuck me. they are a #7 seed in the West. they will play #10 seed Nevada on Thursday in Salt Lake City, Utah. now, the ironic thing is this is the same city Dayton started their run to the elite eight 40 years ago. i would love to see a repeat of that, but i'm not holding my breath.

The Regime last night was hilarious.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

 

i hope everyone is having a great St. Patrick's Day. today has been completely fucking draining for me, and i love it. so, you can imagine what happened this morning.

Manchester United defeated Liverpool, 4-3 in extra time to advance to the semifinals of the FA Cup. they will play Coventry in the semis. the other semifinal will be Manchester City against Chelsea. this game was completely fucking nuts. United went up 1-0 but was losing 2-1 at halftime. they scored in the 87th minute to make it 2-2. Rashford had incredible miss that would have won the game in regulation. Liverpool scored in the first half of extra time to go up 3-2. Rashford scored in the 112th minute to tie it at 3. then, Amad Diallo scored at the death to make it 4-3. this is the United team i have been dying to see all season. they played with heart, passion, determination, everything they have lacked all damn season. an instant fucking classic.

the New York Rangers have had a great weekend, minus another damn injury. they won yesterday at Pittsburgh, 7-4. and then today, the defeated the Islanders at home, 5-2.

AEW Collision was good last night.

i will be on here in the afternoon tomorrow, probably after the Orkin guy leaves. he believes there is a squirrel in our attic.

a comedy of errors...

 it was one of those days. i tossed and turned until 6 this morning. i finally fell asleep and woke up at 10. joy. made some coffee, had some breakfast and then didn't make it to the toilet in time. fuck me. so, i had a little laundry to do. these are the days where i just shake my head and realize the 8 year old me was the smartest one i knew. for those of you who wonder why i always reference that... it was at 8 years old that i first thought of suicide. and given all the pain, rejection and endless amounts of effort put into this world for nothing... imagine all of that being spared and ceasing to exist. i don't want to make suicide this glamorous thing because it isn't. i have people i love that have done it or even tried it. but, i never judge anyone that chooses that route. not my place to do that. mostly because, i have been there and if my circumstances would have been different, i would have done it. i tried it once at 17, but didn't know at that point in my life you need to snuff out the will to live to accomplish your goal. now, at 48, i know such things. but i don't think i have the strength, unless i am a few bottles of Jack Daniels in, to snuff out the will. but, i do know i am capable. so, i tuck it away like an Irish goodbye. don't worry, i have too many irons in the fire to do something like that right now. the light still makes it through the darkness. when that changes, then worry.

i did catch a little of the Oscars last night.

the series finale of Hightown was good. the show was crazy and while i hope there will be a spin off, i won't be shocked when there isn't.
