my back was killing me this morning. the ice didn't really help, but i knew i had to get the grocery shopping done. i went to Rite Aid first, just to see if they had any baseball cards. they are behind the counter now, like cigarettes. fucking hilarious. i did get a Fairfield box that cost me $5. next to that Rite Aid is the local grocery store i go to. i found what i was looking for there and took all that back home. for shits and giggles, i decided to go to Big Lots since they usually have the Diet Coke cans mom likes on sale. of course, they didn't have any. but, i did stumble upon baseball, football and wrestling cards. i got the one pack of 2018 Topps WWE they had. i got 3 packs of 2021 Topps Heritage and 3 packs of 2021 Score football cards. all of that cost me under $45. so, i got all the cards today for less than $50. after going through everything, i probably have around $200 worth of cards, thanks to some great rookie cards in the Score packs. Kroger was my last stop today. i found everything on the list. i somehow kept it under $130. i made it home in time to watch some of the Euro 2020 games this afternoon. more on that in a bit.
NXT was really good last night.
Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.
Mr. Inbetween was pretty funny last night.
the Yankees left a small village on base last night. of course, they have done that all fucking season. they lost to the Royals, 6-5. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
the Detroit Pistons won the NBA Draft lottery last night.
so, the Euro 2020 today was fucking crazy. Sweden defeated Poland, 3-2. Spain defeated Slovakia, 5-0. Germany and Hungary ended 2-2 as did Portugal and France. the round of 16 is now set.
Wales plays Denmark. Italy takes on Austria. Netherlands will play Czech Republic. Belgium plays Portugal. Croatia will play Spain. France will play Switzerland. Sweden will take on Ukraine. and finally, England will play Germany. the first two of those matches will start on Saturday.
today in the Copa America, Ecuador and Peru finished 2-2. later tonight, Brazil will play Colombia.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight.
i will watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs as well as the Copa America tonight.
i now have to figure out what i'm making for dinner. my mother likes to play this game where she will act like she doesn't care and then not like what i want to make. so lately, i've been forcing her to make the decision.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
this is the one part of living in the sticks that would always make me laugh. a day like today is when you would hear some dumb fuck in town talk about well, if this global warming, i'll take it all the time. sure, 80 degrees and sweating in April is just a fucking joy. maybe when these dumb fucks have their vacation destinations in Florida under water one day, they will finally understand that 20 degrees warmer than normal is not always a good thing.
Smackdown was excellent last night. it was a complete 180 from Monday Night Raw. it's amazing to think that both shows are even the same company sometimes.
205 Live was good last night. i could watch Neville and Jack Gallagher wrestle forever and never get bored.
The Voice went mostly as i expected last night. the two up for elimination were two of the ones that i thought would be.
Great News was so bad last night that it almost made for good television. sadly, everything that was funny about the show was in the commercials for the show. not a good sign.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night. as soon as Nick said his white blood cell count was that high, i knew he was talking about cancer. i know most reality shows are fake to some degree, but i do appreciate just how "real" this show has always been.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Total Divas. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Yankees play tonight up in Boston. hopefully they can get a win.
the Stanley Cup playoffs start back up tonight with games in the Western Conference. St. Louis plays Nashville and Anaheim takes on Edmonton. i imagine i will watch some of both games tonight.
i will be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays. hopefully, i will be in a good mood.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
the random nature of life at times has always mystified me. or perhaps life as individual for so damn long has simply deactivated my senses when it comes to some shit. i don't know. the grocery store yesterday was the perfect example. everyone with their faces stuck in their phones, either checking a list or talking to someone. and here i am, pen, paper and coupons. old school. the only people that look at me are children. i'm the one in their nightmares or the image their parents use as someone to avoid. i suddenly remember why i stopped doing this shit back in the day. of course, now i have no choice. and usually anytime i start to think about being alone i remember the story about the guy on the online dating site that got killed using it. that's when i know that i can't win at this. so why bother playing the game?
i took mom to the doctor this morning. she's going to be off for another 2 weeks, at least. if she doesn't start to show signs of improvement soon, she's going to get a MRI to see what else is going on. good times.
i watched Big Brother last night on an illegal feed out of Canada i found on the computer. the show pretty much went as i expected. Michelle got evicted and Victor is the new HOH. i'll be stunned if he doesn't put up James and Natalie.
the season finale of Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was excellent last night. season 3 should be pretty interesting given all the possible directions it could go in.
i also watched the documentary Springsteen & I last night. i haven't been able to ever see The Boss in concert, so it was cool to see all the old footage.
Fuck, That's Delicious was hilarious last night. i love when they take the show into the hidden parts of big cities, especially in a place like Australia where i highly doubt i'll ever get to go to.

and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Treehouse Masters.
2 out of the 3 fantasy football moves i wanted to make came through for me this morning. i like my team a little better now.
team USA plays St. Vincent and the Grenadines in World Cup Qualifying today. this is a MUST win game for team USA. given all the injuries and absences, i'm very interested to see how they play. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory beer later.
the New York Yankees start a series in Baltimore tonight. just like last weekend, these might as well be playoff games.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow after Ohio State plays Bowling Green. i'm really excited to see how all the kids play on Ohio State this season. they have the lowest number of returning starters in the country.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. if you happen to be in the USA, enjoy your holiday weekend. as for all the Russians that visit this blog, enjoy your vodka.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
