it always seems to happen...

 sometime around 9 or so last night, i found myself thinking about the stuff i didn't get at the grocery store. so, after i take mom to her accountant, i will probably be going to Meijer to get what i forgot to put on the list.


here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:





my nightmare is finally over, i did win a bet last night. hopefully, that will be the start of a winning streak.


i did watch a little of the NBA play in games last night.



AEW Dynamite and AEW All Access were both really good last night.



The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.



Snowfall was excellent last night. next week is the series finale.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon and NJPW.


the New York Yankees play tonight at home against the Twins.


the New York Rangers play their final regular season game tonight at home against Toronto.


Manchester United plays at home today against Sevilla in the Europa League.



i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow in the morning. i know i have to take mom to get her bloodwork done tomorrow afternoon. i'm not sure if we're going to eat after that or not. so, i figure if i have the blog already done, she would be more inclined to do something afterwards.


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.

well, i didn't see that coming

when the New York Yankees were losing 9-1 last night, i figured i wouldn't be drinking later on in the evening. when i saw later that they were down to Baltimore 11-4, i still thought i had no chance to have a drink. i turned the game on for shits and giggles and when Jacoby Ellsbury hit a grand slam to make it 11-8, i was like oh shit, this might happen. when Castro hit the game tying home run in the bottom of the 9th to make it 11-11, i was feeling pretty good. when Matt Holliday hit the 3 run walk off homer in the bottom of the 10th, i was ecstatic. that is the kind of victory that really galvanizes a team. don't look now, but something special could be brewing in the Bronx this year. the Yankees play again this afternoon.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

VICE last night was fascinating. i really hope everyone gets to see the episode. between the drug in Cuba that's more or less a vaccine for cancer and the threat to bananas in the world, it was certainly an eye opening episode.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious as usual last night.

i liked what the New Orleans Saints did in rounds 2 and 3 of the NFL Draft last night. 3 picks on defense that should help immediately and a new toy on offense. i think they have 1 pick today. time for icing on the cake.

we had some storms roll through here last night and this morning. needless to say, even with the alcohol, i slept like shit last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH and the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon up in Ottawa. i'm not going to say Game 2 is a MUST win situation, but i'd feel much better about this series if the Rangers would win today.

i will probably flip through that, baseball and the rest of the NFL Draft for most of today.

i'll be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays.

i think i'm going to try to get a little more writing done today as well. hopefully get some more poems before National Poetry Month ends.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. only fuck the ones that cough and call if you need bail money.

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...

you ever smell something so good it stops you right in your tracks...

i didn't expect writing this so late today. but, i suppose being out in public on the anniversary of my father's death was better than sitting at home, wallowing in hate. more on today in a little bit...

for National Poetry Month, i give you:

i was pleased with whom the New Orleans Saints took in the first round last night. lord knows they need as much help on defense as possible. hopefully more of that happens tonight and tomorrow.

i was really happy to see 5 Ohio State players go in the top 20 of the draft. hopefully even more of them get drafted in the next 2 days.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night. i really didn't watch much of WWE Smackdown last night. i already knew what happened and decided to watch the draft and some playoff hockey instead. i did watch Lip Sync Battle last night, which was fucking hilarious:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE.

i'm currently watching the NFL Draft while doing this. i'll probably flip over to the Yankees vs. Red Sox game during the commercial breaks once i get this done.

so mom was running behind this morning. she was worried that she was going to be late to her physical therapy appointment. apparently, she forgot that i look at speed limits as simply a suggestion. we made it with 6 minutes to spare. thankfully, she got discharged from her therapy today. she's made enough of an improvement that they would rather have her stop now and have some appointments left in case she regresses. after that, we went out to eat. we decided to go to Smokey Bones, a place we hadn't gone to in years. it was a much better experience than the last time we were there. that made me happy as i love the Cuban sandwich there. after lunch, we headed to get her vehicle serviced. oil change, tires rotated, new air filters, etc. mom decided she wanted to go home after that.

that gave me plenty of time to type up the 5 poems i wrote in the waiting room this morning. i really, really like 2 of those 5. after mom got ready, we headed to the grocery store.

the grocery store was busy as hell. thankfully, we didn't need a ton of things. while i was walking to get some lemonade, i walked by this woman that smelled like the woman of my dreams. it was one of those smells that made me stop in my tracks and close my eyes and smile. as i turned around, of course she was gone. but i know what i'll be putting myself to sleep to tonight.

i think i have to take mom to get some more shit shredded tomorrow morning. after that, i have no clue what i'm doing tomorrow other than sitting around and watching sports.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. it is supposed to rain here, which i don't mind as they finally reseeded the yard today. a good soaking rain would be great.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
