first off, a Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. i hope you have a wonderful day.
mom wants pizza today, so i guess i will be ordering from Pizza Hut shortly.
i did put out suet for the birds. hopefully my little trick will keep the flying rats away from the house.
the New York Yankees came from being down 6-0 yesterday at home to Tampa to win the game 9-8. they will hopefully win the series this afternoon.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.
AEW Rampage was really good last night.
amazingly, i did get everything done yesterday. i vacuumed the house, got what i needed at Kroger and Rite Aid and i finished my laundry a little after midnight. i got the dishes done before 2 in the morning.
that exhausted me enough to get a whole 5 hours of sleep.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be VICE, Yellowjackets, Waco: The Aftermath, Succession, Barry and Somebody Somewhere.
i'm sure i will watch some of Game 7 between Boston and Philadelphia in the NBA playoffs today. Game 6 between Vegas and Edmonton is on tonight in the NHL playoffs.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i should be on here tomorrow before my mother has her physical therapy session.
hopefully, the weather stays nice today. i'm guessing the rain is out of the area.
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.
un buen día para tratar de manejar mi estrés
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...

i think mom liked what my sister and i got her. other than her allergies screwing with her, i think this has been a pretty good Mother's Day this year.
Manchester United won this morning 1-0 over Watford. it was the final game of Michael Carrick's career. he served the club well over his 12 seasons. all that is left for United this season is to win the FA Cup against Chelsea on Saturday. if they win that, then second in the league to City is a little bit more tolerable.
the New York Yankees won 7-6 in 11 innings yesterday. they ended their little losing streak. hopefully they will start another winning streak and win another series today against Oakland. they are currently in a rain delay. joy.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.
ROH was pretty good last night.
i watched the first 10 minutes of Dunkirk last night and knew i was going to fall asleep during it. so, i'm saving the rest of it for a rainy day.
Patrick Melrose was brilliant last night. i think i'm really going to enjoy this show.
here are your highlights from Winnipeg vs. Las Vegas last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Billions, I'm Dying Up Here, Westworld, Silicon Valley, Barry, Last Week Tonight and Drop the Mic.
i'll probably watch some of the NHL and NBA playoffs today as well.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

so, mom decided she wanted to get a haircut today and take me out for my belated birthday lunch. i get a free coupon from Perkins every year, so that's where we usually go.
she decided to just use the cane today. i was very interested to see how she would do. of course, her cataracts were fucking with her today...
lunch was good, mom was being very careful while using the cane. i could tell she has become somewhat dependent on the walker. we went to the place we usually go to get our haircuts. this was the first time i had my hair cut by a black woman in god knows how long. she was a smoker as well. i could smell Newport all over her. i used to smoke them sometimes in my past. ah, the memories. the haircut went well, so i gave her a nice tip (40%). mom looked much better as well once she was done.
i know mom really needed this as she was feeling like a shut in. hopefully this lifts her spirits a bit.
the trash is already picked up, so let's get going on the blog...
Gotham was really fucking good last night. the winter finale should be amazing next week.
Hate Thy Neighbor was very interesting last night. i made my mother watch it as well. i'm always amazed at how ignorant racist people really are. this should be a show that everyone should watch. it's on Viceland.
The Young Pope was very good last night.
Beware the Slenderman was fascinating to watch. i'm so fucking happy i have never brought any children into this world. when the one mother said last night that they always knew there was a possibility that the father's schizophrenia could be passed on, i wanted to throw my remote through the television. it was not an easy documentary to watch. of course, i'm quick to blame the parents. i'm also happy that i had discovered drugs way before the internet came around so i wouldn't turn into one of these zombies believing crazy shit on the net. i highly recommend this one, but be warned, there are no easy answers on this one.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i did mark out a bit at the end when Goldberg and Brock Lesnar were in the ring and The Undertaker's music hit. it's not really good for business when the show ends with 3 part timers, but the child in me loved it. Royal Rumble this Sunday should be amazing.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and Taboo. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers were badly outshot last night 38-17 but thanks to The King, the Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Kings 3-2. 3 wins in a row now. hopefully they have righted the ship.
my blood sugar was pretty good this morning. i'm trying to limit myself to just one alcoholic beverage per evening. so far, that has gone well. plus, the numbers seem to be better when i have a big lunch and not much for dinner.
tomorrow i know i need to go to the bank and i have to get gas as well. i might make a trip to Menards as well. that kind of depends on how the weather is tomorrow. i'll do the blog after all that.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

first off, happy mother's day to all the mothers out there. i thought i was being the good son this morning and asked my mother what she wanted for breakfast. i said i would cook whatever she wanted. she handed me a gift card to McDonald's and told me to get her some food from there. apparently, she's not impressed with my ability to make scrambled eggs and toast. oh well.
i was pretty happy i picked the Kentucky Derby winner correctly yesterday. of course, it's not that hard to pick the favorite and be correct.
we left after the race to take my sister back to Columbus. she wanted to go to Target, which was along the way, so i said sure. i've learned over the years to just say yes and save the bitching for later. she found what she wanted and then we decided to go out for dinner, as mom was feeling hungry. we decided to try a place we hadn't been to before, Firehouse Subs. i thought it was pretty good. sadly, mom ended up not liking it so much, so that's always fun. we made it to Columbus and back before Saturday Night Live started, so i was pretty happy with that.
the New York Yankees pounded Boston yesterday, 8-2. holy shit, 2 wins in a row and a series win. and given the Manchester United win, i really enjoyed those two victory beers last night. the Yankees go for the sweep tonight.
Saturday Night Live was pretty fucking funny last night. Austin City Limits had two of my favorites on, Gary Clark Jr. and Courtney Barnett. and ROH was a clip show getting everyone ready for their ppv tonight with NJPW. the best part of that was, since Colt Cabana is facing Jay Lethal for the title tonight, they showed an old match of Cabana vs. CM Punk. i always enjoy watching my 3rd favorite wrestler of all-time.
mom really liked what i got her for Mother's Day. i got her a Marvin the Martian wind chime. i told her i thought she could hang it in her room and then when she had the windows open she could hear the chimes. she liked that idea, so now you know who gets to hang it for her. and since she was feeling a little sick this morning, i quickly made her a mix CD to try to lift her mood. she's playing it now, so that's a good sign.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Silicon Valley, Veep, Last Week Tonight, House of Lies and Penny Dreadful.
i did watch Manchester Shitty and Arsenal play today. a 2-2 draw. so, holy shit, Manchester United controls its own destiny for making the top 4 now. 2 wins in the last 2 games (West Ham and Bournemouth) and they will finish at least in 4th. crazy to think that's even possible given how bad United has played for most of the season. the best thought though is knowing if it does happen, Shitty finishes in 5th and next season it will be a joy to watch Pep Guardiola managing in the Europa League.
i listened to the latest Sam Roberts' Show podcast today with Tom Shillue.
amazingly, it was supposed to rain all yesterday. we didn't get a drop. it was supposed to be sunny all day today and it has looked like it is going to rain for the last three hours. the bones are telling me it's getting close. joy.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully the rest of your Sunday is even better.

so i wrote 10 poems yesterday in the waiting room while my mother was doing her physical therapy. let's just say with the number of old people, the woman with one leg and the kid that asked me if i drove a truck (because i look like someone that would), i had enough to probably write another 20 if i had the time. i typed them up this afternoon and i really like a few of them. i will probably have another round of submissions in a week or so.
my mother's physical therapist said she has much more than just Meniere's disease. she was shocked to learn that mom is still working full time. mom told her that's because none of the doctors think it is serious enough to call it a disability. so, hopefully that shit will soon change. they want her to come down there twice a week, which should be interesting.
after the physical therapy, we went out to eat. this was my birthday meal from Perkins. since i didn't use the coupon the week of my birthday, they sent another one. we showed up just about at a shift change. so imagine my surprise when our waitress went from a lady closing in on 70 to this amazing woman in her 20's. that poem should be coming soon.
and then the grocery store. of course, my mother didn't bring any of that shit along as she didn't think we'd get to the store as early as we did. thankfully, i was able to remember most of the shit that was on the list. and i figured we might as well get some food for when we're watching the Super Bowl so we don't have to go out again this weekend.
we ended up back home before 6 PM. i think she thought we were going to be pushing 8. thankfully, that wasn't the case.
the New York Rangers started off like shit last night, giving up 2 goals in the first 8 minutes. thankfully, the games are 60 minutes. the Rangers scored the next 4 goals to win 4-2. they next play against Philadelphia tomorrow afternoon.
The Big Bang Theory was hilarious last night. Life in Pieces was very good. Baskets was fucking weird as hell and great. Lip Sync Battle was ok, other than the fact that Tim Tebow was on it. thankfully, Nina Dobrev was his opponent. talk about easy on the eyes.
WWE Smackdown was really good last night. i am really enjoying how they are building AJ Styles up. plus, anytime i can watch Kevin Owens beat the shit out of people, i'm all for it. all in all, a good 2 hours.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today finally. i highly recommend it if you love Lucha Underground as much as i do.
on the DVR tonight will be NJPW, VICE and Treehouse Masters.
i will probably watch team USA take on Canada tonight in a soccer friendly. hopefully they win so i can drink myself to sleep tonight.
i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as my afternoon is pretty much packed with sports. the Rangers and the Dayton Flyers play in the afternoon.
i finally got my Sacramento Kings t-shirt in the mail yesterday. it's hard as hell to find something in my size that has the Kings on it. but, i had a 15% off code from a survey i did on the NBA, so i finally have something to wear from my favorite NBA team. now if they would just win more...
i hope everyone has a great weekend. drink, enjoy life, call if you need bail money.
