so, i woke up this morning after a somewhat decent night of sleep and as soon as i started getting out of bed, i heard my back pop. my first thought was i guess the weed gummy has worn off. i do think that was the reason i slept well at least. so, for the last 10 hours or so, i have been stretching my back and icing and feeling like shit. joy.
the Yankees spilt their doubleheader yesterday at home against the Angels. they won game 1, 5-2. they lost game 2, 8-2. hopefully, they will win tonight.
Big Brother was really good last night. i have no clue who gets evicted tonight.
AEW Dynamite was good last night.
some of the baseball cards i ordered showed up today. i got the first 2024 cards i have been able to order this year. i was hoping for some better rookies... the packs i got from Golden Lion Sports Cards were excellent. the Kirby Puckett rookie card was a nice shock.
i did catch some of the Olympics today. the USA men's basketball team had a huge comeback to defeat Serbia today, 95-91. they will play France for the gold medal.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Don't Forget the Lyrics and NJPW.
depending on how my back feels tomorrow, that will determine if i actually go to Menards like i need to or not.
so, i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i need to go make dinner, so that's all for me kids...
until we meet again...

so, i did watch most of the opening ceremony at the Olympics today. that was epic to say the least. of course, long as fuck as well. and i can't wait to see how many people got sick because of the rain. i think they said it was the first time there was rain during the opening ceremony in 50 or 60 years.
one thing i have noticed is i don't hate this day as much as i used to when i was younger. of course, i am on a weed gummy right now, so maybe that is why i don't mind this July 26th. for those in the dark, my father would have been 78 years old today. thank god he never saw one day into his 70's.
i did watch Big Brother last night. Matt was evicted. i am really hoping this house is going to be cutthroat this season. Chelsie is the new HOH.
NJPW was good last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and AEW Rampage. i'll watch NXT Level Up tonight on Peacock.
the Yankees start a series tonight at Boston. i don't think i will watch much of it. maybe they will do better with me not watching.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i guess it depends on when i wake up and what events are on when.
of course, this will be my first time betting on the Olympics, so that should be fun.
i hope everyone has a good weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

but a productive one, so far. got my copy of the book i did with Casey Renee Kiser in the mail today. i really can't wait for this to come out and be devoured by poetry lovers. it is really good.
speaking of poetry, i did write 1 poem today. i will be sending out some poems tonight. expect a blog late tonight on that.
i took mom to get her injection today. after that, i took her to get her Frozen Coke. we went back home and watched the USWNT win 3-0 over Zambia at the Olympics.
the Yankees got their asses handed to them last night, losing to the Mets, 12-3. they lost all 4 games to the Mets this season. first time in 11 years. thank fucking god they don't play tonight. they start a series in Boston tomorrow night.

well, i kind of thought i would be taking mom to physical therapy this afternoon. unfortunately, her vertigo is crazy today. so, my afternoon is now sort of free. of course, my bad back will probably keep me from doing much. fun times.
the Yankees lost last night at Tampa, 5-4. they start a series tonight at Baltimore. they are 2 games behind Baltimore in the AL East standings. my fear is they will be 5 by the All Star break. joy.

my back has been killing me today. of course, anytime i wanted to rest it or ice it down, mom needed my help. the joy of life. i had to tell my mother today, as i watched her struggle to find her password for her financial planner, that her homework assignment is to get all this shit into one book and have it updated because when she dies, i'm not doing it. and she talks all the time about me taking over shit, and then of course, she never does it. and i only want to do it if she wants me to. because i know damn well the history of mental illness in this family and the fucking joys i have coming...
the Yankees won last night at Tampa, 2-1. holy shit a win. hopefully, they can do that again tonight.
AEW Dynamite was good last night.
i did watch some of the Copa America last night. Colombia defeated Uruguay 1-0 even though Colombia played the entire second half with only 10 men. the last twenty minutes were fucking crazy. so, it will be Argentina vs. Colombia in the final on Sunday. Argentina was the last team to actually beat Colombia, so it should be amazing.

yesterday was a challenge in managing my frustration. as usual, i mostly failed. between the Yankees losing, doing my laundry and trying to fold clothes with a pinched nerve, etc. etc. and then of course, it rained last night. joy.
the Yankees lost yesterday at the Royals, 4-3. nothing like almost winning a game you probably shouldn't have and your closer blows it. fuck me. they start a series tonight at Boston.
here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final last night.
Don't Forget the Lyrics was very good last night. i can't believe the first woman had the right lyrics and could have won $250,000 and had the chance to win a million but chose not to go on.
the season finale of Welcome to Wrexham was good 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 Fantasmas. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.
i'm doing the blog now mostly because mom has mentioned that she might want to go out to eat today to celebrate her birthday instead of doing it on Sunday, when her birthday really is. considering, everything that is going on today, there would be no fucking time after that lunch to write the blog.
the Euro 2024 starts today with Germany vs. Scotland. one of the best soccer tournaments to watch.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals is tonight. Boston is up 3-0 on Dallas.
and because of that, they moved the Yankees vs. Red Sox game up today to accommodate the Boston fans.
i did get some cards last night. this place is running a pretty good deal right now.
i have no clue when i will be on here on Saturday. i think we've entered the stage of weather where it will get really warm every afternoon and that will provide the energy for possible thunderstorms at night, etc.
or, the time of year where my arthritis will be killing me slowly.
that's all for me kids.

how i didn't break my foot when i did that last night is beyond me. of course, waking up this morning and having the shit still here, i guess i could have just waited to get them out there. Vietnam Vets are supposed to pick up the old chairs and microwave from the kitchen. at least i have them where i won't have to move them again to get out of the garage. they have upped mom's appointment, so i am writing a little sooner than i wanted to. ah, the joy of 3 hours of sleep.
the New York Yankees won last night at home over the Twins, 9-5. they will go for the sweep tonight.

now, i'm cynical enough to believe that through witness tampering and judicial intimidation, Trump will probably get this overturned or vacated or some other legal bullshit, but to hear a guilty verdict on all 34 counts made me actually believe, at least for a second, that this is how the whole system is supposed to work. that no one is above the law, blah blah blah. of course, the chaos agents want him to be elected president in November just so the system blows the fuck up. that is the last fucking thing i want to see happen as these dumb fucks don't understand what democracy actually is and if they truly think there is a system better, try your luck in Russia or Hungary or anyplace in this world with a dictator running shit.
i actually went to bed before 3 AM. now, the problem with that? i was up at 5 and then 6 and then at 7 i just gave the fuck up. if i don't completely exhaust myself, i can't sleep. that is beyond fucking frustrating. so yeah, i'll be up late as fuck tonight. actually, i might end up doing tomorrow's blog before i go to bed. tomorrow is going to be a busy as fuck day.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at home against Seattle, 5-0. they start a series tonight at San Diego.

the New York Rangers play Game 2 tonight at home against Florida. i'm hoping they play much better than they did in Game 1 and get a victory tonight.
i'm sure i will probably watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight as well.
later tonight, i will probably send out some poems. after i do that, i'm going to write the blog for tomorrow. i want to do that then so i can get some sleep before i watch the FA Cup final tomorrow between Manchester United and Manchester City.
that will lead right into the WWE King and Queen of the Ring tomorrow afternoon from Saudi Arabia. so, around 3 in the morning might be the only chance i have to do the blog, send out some poems, etc.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. for all us here in the USA, i hope you have a safe Memorial Day weekend.

so, i'm still in disbelief after the NFL game last night. with my mom being a huge Jets fan, and so is the muse, i kind of have no choice but to watch the Jets as well. i couldn't believe when Aaron Rodgers got hurt 4 snaps into the season. it was learned this morning that he tore his Achilles tendon. when the Bills got up by 10, i told mom anytime she wanted me to change the channel i would. so, we started watching Monday Night Raw. i kept giving mom updates during Raw and eventually i turned back to the game when the Jets had tied it up. the game went to OT tied at 16. the Bills got the ball first but did nothing. they punted and the Jets returned that punt for a touchdown to win the game. my mom was stunned but very happy when she realized it was one of the guys featured on Hard Knocks that returned it for the TD. absolutely crazy finish to week 1 of the NFL season.
the Yankees got rained out last night so they are playing a doubleheader today in Boston.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

i did make it to Rite Aid a little after noon today. thankfully, it wasn't busy. i know i will be back there on Friday as i have to take mom to get her second shingles shot.
it has been an on and off drizzle since about 4 this morning so far today. just great.
that's all for me kids. i need to ice my back down and probably get a good nap in.

my back has basically been shit for over 20 years now. so, i have learned a few tricks along the way on how to cope when my bad back decides it doesn't want to cooperate. first, plenty of ice. i mean, i made my room last night basically an ice box. AC running and my fan running as well. that helped some. stretching is a necessity. when my back is barking, i try to do it slow and deliberate. same with walking. if i can walk long enough, the back seems to loosen up and the pain dies down. now, the problem is, that pain always comes back. mom asked earlier if i wanted some Tylenol. i told her no, because i end up having to take 6 to even touch the pain. i'll just stick to Jack Daniels. and that boys and girls is why i doubt i will live a long life. of course, the state of Ohio could just make marijuana legal and then maybe i can be as close to pain free as i have been since birth.
grocery shopping took forever today, but i was expecting that. the landscapers were out today as well. they got the backyard done today. i'm sure the guy that mows our grass will be happy.
the Yankees won last night at Detroit, 4-2. holy shit, two wins in a row. they are currently up tonight on Detroit, 2-0.
