that put a wrench into things...

 so, i woke up to the sound of my printer in my room suddenly printing something this morning. i thought mom must already be up and she was printing something. and then i put on my glasses and saw my alarm clock blinking 12. i knew that meant the power went out. well, shit. i went and reset the clocks, turned off lights, etc. as i was checking the DirecTV channels, etc., i noticed the internet was out. and that stayed out until 1 this afternoon. you can imagine the wrench that put into things.

i do have my laundry going. second load into the washer. hopefully, i'll get it done before the storms hit tonight. my arthritis is telling me, the storms are to the south of us.

Monday Night Raw was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Hard Knocks.

the Euro 2024 game today is at halftime. Spain is up 2-1 against France.

up way too early on a Sunday...

 when i got up at 7:35 this morning, i said to myself, why the fuck am i up this early? i'm guessing my body is just so used to less than 5 hours of sleep, it doesn't remember how to sleep longer than that. joy.

the New York Yankees won yesterday against the Cubs, 6-3.today is the last game before the All-Star break.

i did watch some of the Gold Cup last night. Panama and Mexico both advanced. today, Guatemala and Jamaica face off before the USA plays Canada. here are some highlights from yesterday.

eventually, the heat will break or we will all die...

another day in the 90's... i think i napped most of the morning. at least, i got up in time to watch the Manchester United game. more on that in a bit. but, i didn't check my email until 5 in the afternoon (or is that considered evening), so yeah...

Manchester United won today 3-0. they are the first Premier League team EVER to win four straight games by 3 goals or more. hopefully, this string of victories will continue until the season is over.

NXT was excellent last night. i am so happy for Keith Lee.

AEW was excellent last night as well.

i got my order from Amazon.com today, so i think i have all my baseball/basketball/hockey/wrestling cards ready to go. i do need to sell some here soon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Don't, Holey Moley, two episodes of Cake and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

not real sure what we're doing for dinner tonight. i fucked up the steaks last night and cooked them a little too long. i wasn't fucking happy.

i am going to try to get some poems out in the morning and then be on here before the Red Scare play in the TBT.

to pat myself on the back for a second, all the poems i sent out on June 22, 2020 have been published now. i don't have many days when i bat 1,000%, so i'm going to enjoy it.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

busier than 9 cats covering up shit in a windstorm...

i didn't sleep good last night. i couldn't find a position where my pinched nerve in my neck wasn't driving me crazy. so, i might have got 4 hours at best. i woke up this morning and had a plan. i wanted to get the poems out and i wanted to get my shit together so i could get my blood drawn. 10 hours now after waking up, and i pretty much have everything done, other than the trash and this blog. and no, they aren't the same.

i sent out 26 poems today; 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash, Misfit Magazine, Academy of the Heart and Mind (already rejected) and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication); 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

i did get a shave and shower in today. i got my blood drawn, went and picked up pills for mom and then she wanted Taco Bell for lunch/dinner. now, i just need to get this done and get the trash picked up and i'm done for the night.

Monday Night Raw wasn't nearly as good last night as it was last week.

Divorce was pretty good last night.

Desus & Mero was hilarious last night. all the shit they haven't shown yet was on last night.

i did watch a good portion of Home Run Derby last night. i get the feeling everyone on earth knows who Vlad Jr. is now.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, I Love You, Now Die: The Commonwealth v. Michelle Carter and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight.

i imagine if i get bored i might watch some of the All-Star game tonight. i know there are 2 New York Yankees in the starting lineup for the American League.

i have no damn clue what is going on tomorrow, so i will probably be on here in the afternoon.

i have trash to pick up now. until tomorrow kids...

the return of the summer heat

i have been a busy boy today, so no time like the present to get to the good shit...

i sent out 37 poems today; 3 each to Pyrokinection and Mad Swirl; 5 each to Nerve Cowboy, Easy Street, The Bond Street Review, Riggwelter and Synchronized Chaos (already accepted for publication and 6 poems to Record Magazine. when i hear back from all these places, i will pass along the verdicts.

the New York Yankees won yesterday, 2-1 in 10 innings at Toronto. they play a doubleheader in Baltimore today as the start of a 4 game series with the Orioles. hopefully i'll be drinking a double tonight.

Big Brother was pretty good last night.

Total Bellas was good last night.

Power was excellent last night.

The Affair was very good last night.

the season finale of I'm Dying Up Here was excellent last night. i certainly didn't see the death coming at the end of the episode.

Succession was very good last night.

Sharp Objects was fucking great last night. i can already tell i'm going to love this show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before France plays Belgium in the World Cup. if not, it will be after the game is over.

i do hope everyone had a great weekend.

the shitty hot weather has returned here so the air conditioning has been running all day long it seems.

until tomorrow kids...

a hot steamy mess

the internet has been running slow this morning. mom said she saw plenty of Frontier Communications trucks out and about yesterday. i'm fearing those fucking idiots fucked something up again. i suppose time will tell.

Germany's destruction of Brazil would have made those crazy ass generals in world war two proud. 7-1. 5 goals in the first 29 minutes. first time Brazil lost a non-friendly game on home soil since 1975. which means that was the first home loss of an important game for Brazil in my life. i'm still stunned with how easy Germany picked them apart and just ruthlessly took them behind the barn and pulled the trigger. and to think Brazil still has to play the third place game. they better win that one, or that country may never forgive those players. and i would have to imagine Germany is now the favorite to win the World Cup. i tell you one thing, i look at the USA loss to Germany 1-0 in a whole different light this morning.

today Argentina takes on the Netherlands. i have Argentina moving on, but that doesn't mean anything. hopefully it will be a more competitive game than yesterday. probably comes down to how well the Dutch can shackle Messi. if they allow him time and space, Argentina will be one step closer to rubbing the World Cup title in crying Brazilian faces.

the Yankees lost last night, 5-3. the offense did its normal disappearing act after the first couple of innings. and Tanaka could not find his fastball for anything. a few of them ended up in the seats. he might be hitting that mid summer wall most rookies hit. the guy they traded for is pitching tonight. hopefully he does well.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night. i love when they show some pranks. Tyrant was good as well.

had a banana bread beer out of England last night. not nearly as bad as i thought it was going to be. tasted a little like banana pudding with plenty of alcohol. and didn't produce a hot steamy mess shortly afterwards, so that's a plus.

tonight will be a busy night for me. a new episode of Big Brother. this might be the craziest cast ever. The Bridge comes back tonight. i'm beyond excited for that. and another new episode of Wilfred. the dilemma is Wilfred and The Bridge come on at the same time. another night where i really could use a DVR.

this rainy weather isn't helping my arthritis. today is supposed to be sunny and hot, which always leads to storms. i figure by the afternoon i'll be miserable.

not much damage from the storms yesterday. just some limbs down. it must have been scary enough though, as 13 of the 14 cats were in the barn when i went out to feed them. mom believes she saw the other one down in the front. no clue when that dumb ass will make it back up to the barn.

that's pretty much all for me. enjoy the game today if you happen to be watching it. maybe my lazy ass will do some artwork today. i've got an idea floating around in my head that i'd like to get down on paper. but, as with most of my art, i'll end up hating it. so it goes.

be well. be creative. be an afternoon drunk. be charming. be aloof. be the neighbor that doesn't give a shit anymore.

peace and chicken grease my enemies.
