i was up at 6:30 this morning, in pain as usual. after i took my blood sugar, i got some ice and got in my massage chair. i think i got a good 90 minute nap in. that helped a great deal.
the Yankees lost last night at home to the Giants, 9-1, in 6 rain soaked innings. hopefully, they will play better today.
Smackdown was very good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and AEW Collision.
the New York Rangers play at Carolina today.
i do plan on watching the college hockey final tonight between Western Michigan and Boston University.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
i will probably watch plenty of sports today while icing my back. i figure if i can get my spine to freeze that will limit the amount of pain the pinched nerve can do.
i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays at Newcastle.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck war.

as we were coming out of mom's appointment with her accountant, the sun was out. that was basically the only thing that stopped me from snapping at her. this was an appointment that should have took less than a hour but was well over a hour because mom can't help herself to not talk about politics, or whatever the fuck else. and i am not a person that needs useless small talk. it doesn't do anything for me. and i certainly see why mom worked the long hours as i can see just how much of her time was spent chatting with anyone that would happen to listen. fuck me. might be the most annoyed i have been in years. but, the taxes are done. hurray. i had to go to Rite Aid after that and pick up some pills. first time mom got to see some of the construction going on around town.
here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Philadelphia, 4-1. it is painfully obvious that the Rangers have no interest in any of these games now that they are already qualified for the playoffs. my fear is that when the playoffs do start, they will forget to flip the fucking switch back on.
Young Sheldon was very funny last night.
NJPW was new last night although the guide said it was a rerun. i guess the show is moving to Wednesday nights now.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
the Yankees got rained out tonight in Cleveland, so they will be playing a day/night doubleheader tomorrow.
so, i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow seeing that the Yankees and Manchester United will playing around the same time.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
i need to get going on dinner.

the fan noise that i was complaining about yesterday suddenly went away today when i put my thumb drive into the computer to send out some poems. i'm guessing i took something out too soon a couple of days ago and never put two and two together. so far, the noise hasn't come back, so that's a plus.
as for the poems, i sent 5 poems out to Synchronized Chaos. when i hear back from Cristina on them, i will pass along the verdict.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
the New York Yankees won last night at Cleveland, 11-2. they won this afternoon to win the series, 4-3. they play tomorrow night at home against the Twins.
i am in an incredible run of bad luck when it comes to gambling. apparently, i must have made a deal with the devil for Jon Rahm to win The Masters, as i haven't won a single bet since that happened. the streak is at 30 fucking bets in a row now. the beauty of $1 bets is you can make plenty of them. but, it really fucking sucks when you lose, especially when you have 2 out of 3 or 3 out of 4 or 4 out of 5 on fucking parlay bet after parlay bet. if i was gambling like the big boys do, i would be hanging from the ceiling by now.
i did watch some of the NBA play in games last night.
NXT was good last night.
MLW was good last night.
Deadliest Catch was the preview to the season last night. it is hard to imagine that i have seen every episode in this series. season 19 starts next week.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, AEW All Access, The Masked Singer and Snowfall.
i'm sure i will probably watch some of the NBA games tonight. Chicago plays Toronto and Oklahoma City plays New Orleans.
i am going to try to get the blog done in the morning tomorrow. mom has an appointment with her accountant tomorrow afternoon to get her taxes done. after that, i am hoping to get back home to watch Manchester United in the Europa League.
a big thank you to Ancestry.com for reminding me today that i am related to the cousin that sexually molested me. it is a damn good thing i can find pleasure in all of this fucking pain. i shudder to think what would actually happen if i couldn't.
the weather here the last couple of days has been damn near perfect. and having lived here all my life, all that means is shit will change in a matter of hours.
grocery shopping went well today. the stores weren't crowded, so that was a major plus.
i need to go get going on dinner. until tomorrow kids.

so, i got in a really good nap this afternoon. get enough ice on the back and i'm out with a snap of the fingers. mom and i decided to get our absentee ballots done today. when i went to put the stamps on the envelopes, that was when i realized we only had 1 stamp let. well shit, time to make a trip to the post office. so, i pull up there and park on the street behind another SUV. that driver was coming out of the post office and sure enough, it was the cousin that molested me as a child. that is always the subtle reminder that no matter what good i do in the world, how nice i am to other people, how giving of my time i am, none of it fucking matters as the universe will always hate me.
i guess Kroger can't get the 2% eyedrops that mom needs in anymore. so, i get to take the 5% ones back, i have no clue when, and get the money back for them. i guess mom found the 2% ones on Amazon.com. of course, i guess that is where all of us will be getting our pills soon.
the Yankees lost last night, 3-0, to Toronto. hard to win when you only get 4 hits. hopefully, they will do better tonight.
American Song Contest was pretty good last night.
Better Things was excellent last night.
Monday Night Raw was good last night.
here are your 3 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be NXT, Young Rock and Name That Tune.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Carolina. since Carolina is 2 points ahead of them in the standings, tonight might as well be a playoff game.
the USWNT plays again tonight against Uzbekistan.
i have a full day of shit tomorrow. i have to have the Highlander to the dealership by 9:30 in the morning. i'm hoping the check engine light is nothing major. if all goes well, i will then have all the grocery shopping to do. and i will probably have to get gas at some point tomorrow. and try to do all of this while dealing with thunderstorms all day long. joy.
thanks to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
as many of you know by now, i'm not a big believer of religion or organized religion. it was forced upon me as a child. i was baptized so my grandmother would see it before she died. i have always thought that since it was done on April Fool's Day, there could be no other parallel to describe my relationship with god. that being said, i don't fault anyone who believes. it's a matter of choice. i just happen to believe in choice, while so many Christians do not, no matter what bullshit they tell themselves. and i will have a slight smile when i hear about all the new cases of COVID-19 because some stubborn fucking fools decided they needed to be in a church on Easter Sunday.
here is your video for this day of National Poetry Month:
on the DVR tonight will be VICE, Homeland, Black Monday, Atlanta's Missing and Murdered: The Lost Children, Westworld, Insecure and Last Week Tonight.
my sister should be down here in a hour or so. she's not staying long, according to my mother. probably long enough for some food, take a shit, and wrap shit up to take back with her. good times.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
it's supposed to start raining here soon. and then it is supposed to become strong storms tonight. joy.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i was in line at the pharmacy for around 30 minutes today. i could hear the older couple behind me talking about this is ridiculous and how they need to find a new pharmacy. there was this child, maybe 3 or 4 years old, running around, going nuts and all the while i was mumbling to myself, if i wasn't this patient, i would kill people. if i wasn't this patient, i would kill people. i fought off every urge to letting the shopping cart roll right into the kid. the funny thing was once i finally got up to the counter, i was there for almost 2 minutes. i got the rest of the shopping done, knowing damn well i hadn't eaten lunch before i went to the store. more on that later. i got everything we needed today and somehow managed to keep it under $80. i might just have a fucking drink tonight for that alone.
i sent out 20 poems today. my arthritis was and still is fucking killing me today, so i wasn't able to copy and paste the poems into emails like normal. i had to retype all 20 poems. joy. i sent 3 poems each to Rusty Truck and The Beatnik Cowboy; 4 poems to The Rye Whiskey Review (already accepted for publication); 5 poems each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Academy Of The Heart And Mind. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
i did watch most of the NHL playoff games last night. i will hopefully catch some of the games tonight.
the Frozen Four was excellent last night. the championship game on Saturday will be Minnesota Duluth vs. UMass.
Better Things was excellent last night.
Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.
i didn't fall asleep last night until 4 in the morning. it felt like i had a fucking locomotive racing down my spine most of the evening. apparently, i fell asleep right before the storms came. when i got out of bed around 9, it felt like every bone in my body was broken. good times.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NJPW, Real Time with Bill Maher and Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas.
the New York Yankees start a series tonight at home against the White Sox. the Yankees put their 12th guy on the injured list today. this team is killing me at the moment. they are already losing 1-0. joy.
i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays. but in case i'm not, here's the preview:
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope the weather isn't as crazy as it is here.

the weather here is truly on my fucking nerves. today was really nice, if you don't mind the wind being around 30 mph all the fucking time. and as i found out as a child, the wind always brings something with it. apparently we're going to be warm until Sunday, and then winter will try to come back in. i could feel that shit today with my arthritis. what a fucking joy.
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
the meeting with the dietitian wasn't that bad today. she did a pretty good job explaining to mom what she needs to do to get her cholesterol down, while keeping an eye on the budget. and now that Kroger has entered the 21st century with this shit, i guess the next appointment will be a shopping trip. that should give mom a more hands on experience and hopefully help her remember some things so she can make better decisions regarding food.
the New York Yankees won last night at Boston 10-7. i watched a good portion of the game, including both bench clearing incidents. did i think it was a dirty slide? not really, but i could understand why Boston was upset. of course, if the shortstop wasn't lazy, his leg wouldn't be there for the spikes to hit it. i did enjoy the fight, though i don't understand why 3 Yankees got ejected and only 1 Red Sox did. tonight's game should be interesting.
NXT was really good last night. i guess the name War Raiders will grow on me, although i will always think of Hanson and Rowe as War Machine.
i'm not really sure who i'm going to root for in this year's NHL playoffs. i suppose it would be easy to root for all the former New York Rangers. but, part of me really hopes Las Vegas does great in the playoffs. them or Winnipeg, since two of my favorite wrestlers are from there (Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega). i did watch a little bit of the games last night. i might watch some tonight as well.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Life in Pieces, Gotham and Atlanta.
mom made a scroll for a grocery list since she wants to cook for Thanksgiving and thought it would be best that she went along with me to get the groceries. i really didn't mind until my left leg started killing me while i was pumping gas before going into the grocery store. when my arthritis flares up in my left hip, it feels like the hip is basically getting ready to pop out and drop me to the ground. good times. what i normally do when this happens is either sit or just keep moving and mindfuck the pain away. mom of course doesn't go grocery shopping much anymore, so she more or less stopped every few feet to look at shit. i believe most people could sense my agony as i walked around the store. and of course, there was the beautiful black woman that i passed three different times. sure, i noticed the ring on her finger. like i have morals.
i did pick up some cinnamon whiskey while at the grocery store. i'm hoping that helps me get through the holidays. we were in the store for over a hour. i believe we found everything. mom found a gift card she got for the store last year. that certainly came in handy when it was time to pay.
i did the trash when i got home. my hip is still killing me. so if you notice a few more motherfuckers more than usual in this blog, you'll understand why.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i love that Paige is back. i love that she brought friends from NXT with her. i love that Roman Reigns is the new Intercontinental champion. i think we all know that Vince wants him to take on Brock at WrestleMania again, so the slow build begins now.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i think what most people tend to forget when it comes to the live shows... song choice is the key. if you sing something obscure, you better kill it. if you sing something impossible, you better not blow it. sadly, too many of them last night made the wrong song choice. here was a few i really liked.
Baltimore Rising was very good last night. i wish more white people would actually give enough of a shit to really watch these types of things and truly try to better understand blacks in this country. it would change so much. and then if we could actually get the police to understand...
David Letterman: The Mark Twain Prize was really fucking funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, Drop the Mic and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i think i have figured out what i'm getting people for Christmas. i might get that out of the fucking way tomorrow. also, if you happen to be a lucky friend or fan, and i happen to have your mailing address, you'll be getting something as well.
i'll be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank and probably after Manchester United plays in the Champions League.
when the New Orleans Saints were down 15 with less than 3 minutes left yesterday, i wanted to stay optimistic, but i figured the winning streak was coming to an end. then, Drew Brees remembered he's one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. the Saints tied the game at 31. the defense finally started to get some stops and the Saints eventually won in OT, 34-31. i never saw them being 8-2 at this point of the season. they will have a pretty big test next week on the road at the Rams.
the Dayton Flyers showed their youth yesterday against Old Dominion. they got killed on the boards and they settled for way too many jump shots. i believe in 4 games this season, they have already tried 100 three pointers. that's truly fucking insane. they don't shoot well enough to even justify the thought. they lost yesterday 75-67. they play again at home on Saturday against Akron.
the New York Rangers won last night 3-0 over Ottawa. i watched the highlights and enjoyed a drink as well.
WWE Survivor Series was pretty good last night. i liked most of the show. and i think most of it went the way i would have done it. the ending of HHH screwing Kurt Angle and then getting the shit beat out of him by Braun Strowman should make Monday Night Raw pretty interesting tonight.
i finally got to see ROH last night. it was excellent.
Curb Your Enthusiasm was really funny last night. just two more episodes left.
Shameless was excellent last night.
SMILF was great last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Baltimore Rising and David Letterman: The Mark Twain Prize. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i had to take mom out shopping today. there just happened to be a new dollar store close to where she had to go pick up something she ordered online. we found plenty of shit at the dollar store.
i got the gift card to Amazon.com i ordered with my reward points in the mail today. so, i might get my damn Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving this year.
there was a stray cat walking up our driveway when mom and i got home from shopping today. i laughed and sped up the car. i find it kind of funny that after all those years and stray cats on the farm, we move to the suburbs and sure enough, another damn stray cat finds us.
i will be on here tomorrow after grocery shopping. i believe i have to get the fresh stuff mom wants to make Thanksgiving dinner with.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so my sister got our father's medical records yesterday. i copied them to my computer and started reading through a few of the nearly 2,000 pages. let me just say, the poems will be writing themselves for the rest of my life. a treasure trove of information. plus, it reaffirmed my thoughts on the funeral. it was all a joke. people were telling me what they thought i wanted to hear. the files showed me the truth. he was the same prick at death that he was 25 fucking years earlier. that's a much different picture than they painted at the funeral. he never was a saint. never fucking close to it. and the parts of when dementia was setting in were the best. i know i am an asshole for taking delight in the misery of others. but i now can look back on washing my father's feet in church one evening with much less horror now knowing that one day that fucker would believe there was a secret worm inside of him making him shit his pants.
mom decided she wanted her birthday dinner at Outback Steakhouse. i hadn't been there in years. i got steak tacos as i decided i wanted to be different. they were excellent. overall, it was a pretty good dinner. we got there right before they got full of people, so that was good. after dinner, we went to Menards. i needed bird food and a new lamp for my desk. my sister got some things she needed and mom found a few things as well. everything had a 11% rebate on it, so that's good. after that, we went to get some gas for the car. mom and my sister are out driving the state today, sort of. down to IKEA to get some beds. and then to Columbus to drop them off and then back to the house. when my mother left this morning, i told her i'll see you at 6 tonight. that would be 9 hours after she left with my sister. sadly, she knew i was probably correct.
Copa America Update:
Colombia defeated Peru last night on penalty kicks. i felt bad for Peru, but ultimately the better team won. tonight Argentina takes on Venezuela and Chile takes on Mexico. should be two really good games.
Euro 2016 Update:
Spain took care of Turkey yesterday, 3-0. i got up this morning to see Belgium play Ireland. Belgium finally woke up and started playing like a good team. they won 3-0. Iceland is currently leading Hungary 1-0 at halftime. later today Portugal takes on Austria.
the New York Yankees won again last night, 8-2. two in a row, stop the presses. they will try to get back to .500 again by winning this afternoon.
NJPW was excellent last night. 2 hours of great wrestling.
VICE was enthralling last night. to have a reporter with ALS do a story on others with ALS, even some getting into the clinical trials she didn't get into, was amazing. i highly recommend the episode.
Dateline: On Assignment was good last night. i'm happy that David Letterman still has the same sense of humor.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i may go outside and get a little sun while feeding the birds. but, i won't be out there for long. it's fucking hot this weekend. of course, The Air Show is happening, so that's how the weather usually is no matter when they have the show.
that's all for me kids. i hope you have a great Saturday. only fuck the ones that cough.

amazingly, the sun was out today. of course, it was still cold, but there was sunshine. the lawn service that does three of the yards (including ours) in our cul-de-sac called today to say they will be here tomorrow. so i made sure to get out there and fill the bird feeders and fix some of the shit the wind has destroyed. it actually felt good to get a little sunshine after what seems like weeks of fucking clouds.
for National Poetry Month, i give you:
i feel sorry for the coaches on The Voice this year. there is so much damn talent on the show. they are bound to piss off a ton of people no matter who they choose to move on. i was blown away with some of the live performances last night. hopefully tonight will be more of the same.
Monday Night Raw was nearly perfect last night. and for me to say that, you know the show was great. Kevin Owens vs. Cesaro, yes please. Sami Zayn vs. AJ Styles, yes please. Anderson and Gallows finally showing up and destroying The Usos, thank god. Bray Wyatt finally getting a chance to show what every fucking fan knows he's capable of, thank you. now, if they can just turn Roman Reigns heel already and set up a summer where the suddenly deep roster can put on epic match after match, you'll have another generation hooked for life.
Gotham was fucking amazing last night. i really, really love that show.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Deadliest Catch and Total Divas.
the New York Yankees play at Toronto tonight. i will probably watch some of that, at least until the Yankees pitching goes to shit.
i've already got the trash all done and dishes put away, so i'm thinking it might be nap time.
tomorrow will be a bit of a clusterfuck with the NHL playoffs starting, so i will probably be on here in the morning.
hope this finds everyone enjoying some better weather for a change.

i was all ready last night. i had a very good dinner. the Yankees had a lead. i had a "new" lucky t-shirt on. i was all set up to watch the New York Rangers show that Game 2 was just a blip. well, so much for that.
the Rangers got off to a 2 goal lead. they promptly gave up the next 4. they came back to tie it at 4. gave up another one. and then tied it again late in the 3rd period. 5-5 going to overtime. and sure enough, i flip back to the game in time to see Tampa win in OT 6-5. not exactly sure where the best defense in the playoffs has gone to. i got the feeling that they thought they could out run and gun Tampa. i would agree with that theory if Rick Nash was scoring goals, let alone all the other fuckers on the team that have done nothing. i'll go ahead and say that Game 4 on Friday is a MUST WIN situation. there's no fucking chance in hell they are coming back from being down 3-1 in this series.
by the way, the Yankees blew their lead and lost 3-2. they are off again tonight. they play at home on Friday against Texas.
thankfully, the wrestling last night was excellent. Lucha Underground had another solid show with a true HOLY SHIT moment. enjoy the highlights:
NXT Takeover: Unstoppable was good and then HOLY SHIT great. here's how it started:
a couple of solid matches later and then the ladies stole the show:
and then a brutal (in a good way) main event that had a nice holy shit moment at the end:
as i have seen stated all over the place, having Samoa Joe in NXT is a game changer. he is one of the best workers of ALL time. and to dream of the matches he could have with some of the wrestlers down there is mind boggling. after watching the show i can completely understand why so many guys on the main roster are a bit jealous of just how damn good the product is down at NXT. last night was easily worth the $9.99 a month.
thankfully, i was able to watch all of David Letterman's final show. i was happy that the show went out with a unforgettable last show. here are some of the numerous highlights as i think the show went nearly 30 minutes longer than normal:
what an amazing show. good thing i taped the two shows after it so i got all of the final show. it is certainly something i will never forget. hopefully everyone involved in the show understands how important the show was to all of us. it will be missed.
i probably didn't get to bed until around 3 in the morning. so, of course i would be up at 7:30. i suppose i'll catch up on my sleep when i die. but, while i was up today i typed up those 6 poems. my gut feeling was correct, i've got some winners in this batch. always a good sign when i pulled a dead father memory out of my head from back when i was 9 years old. i got a feeling i'll be writing about all that shit for years on end. hopefully i will crank a few more poems out over the holiday weekend and then get some submissions ready for June.
on the DVR tonight will be Lip Sync Battle, The Comedians and Louie.
that's all for me today. i'm going to go try to ease my aching bones in a hot shower. and if that doesn't work, i always have a shotgun.
no need to panic. my arms aren't long enough.
