hazy hot and humid

i made sure to wear light colored clothes today as i knew i was going to be outside a little and it was supposed to be around 90 with a completely unbearable humidity. so i broke out my bright ass yellow t-shirt, figuring that should do the trick. walking just 10 feet from the parking lot to the pizza place mom and i went for lunch, i was sweating like a crook walking into church.

i did do a little poetry writing last night and this afternoon. in total, i typed up 7 poems this afternoon. i really like a few of them. i have enough for another round of submissions, so you have been warned.

i did watch a little of the All-Star game last night. ex-Yankee Robinson Cano hit the go ahead home run in the 10th inning (50 years to the day that Tony Perez hit a home run in extra innings of the All-Star game in 1967) and ex-Yankee Andrew Miller got the save as the American League won 2-1.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night. there's no way you would catch me doing anything in a fucking arctic hurricane.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was pretty good as well.

The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking hilarious last night.

The Defiant Ones, Part 3 was mostly about the rap war in the early 90's. i also enjoyed the behind the scenes stories on how Interscope Records signed Nine Inch Nails away from TVT Records.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Lucha Underground, Snowfall, Lip Sync Battle and The Defiant Ones, Part 4. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'm really hoping that the boys have their heads on straight tonight and are ready to dominate when the USA plays Martinique tonight in the Gold Cup.

mom did pretty good today. amazingly, the place where she had her doctor's appointment and had to get some blood work done was running smoothly today. i just wish she could actually get some sleep at night. she more or less sleeps only in the day now.

i will be on here tomorrow before i take mom to her physical therapy appointment. hopefully the storms tomorrow aren't as bad as yesterday's storms were. there are still some people in this county without power.

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...

one of those nights you never will forget

when i finally got to UD Arena last night and saw the students half way around the building, i had a good feeling. the whole place was packed nearly 30 minutes before the game even started. the ceremony for the seniors was really good. and with the energy in the building, i really had a feeling that VCU had no chance. Dayton had the lead the entire game, even though things got a little scary in the second half. that was when the refs forgot that you were allowed to call fouls on VCU. the game took forever as there was close to 50 free throws in the game. but, Dayton won 79-72. the win clinches the A10 regular season title outright and gives Dayton the #1 seed in the conference tournament. it was a fucking joy to watch the guys celebrate with the students and then cut the net down. i love that the coach got tired of waiting for 3 of the seniors who were busy taking pictures, so he cut the rest of the net down himself. hilarious shit. the boys next play at George Washington on Saturday. it would be nice if they could exercise some of the demons in that building and take a 10 game winning streak into the A10 tournament.

it was well after 11 when i got home last night. i found out the 24 hour McDonald's in town is no longer open 24 hours.

NXT was really good last night.

i listened to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. you can find that by going here:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Baskets.

the New York Rangers are playing tonight in Boston. i wouldn't mind if they would actually find a way to win tonight.

i had to take mom to get some blood drawn today for her doctor's appointment tomorrow. it took almost 2 hours for it to get done. mind you, the actual act of drawing the blood took about 3 minutes. the rest of the time was sitting around and waiting.

i went to the bank and the grocery store today. what i thought was a trip just to get bread and bananas turned into a well, fuck it, let me just do all the fucking shopping now. i managed to keep it under $70, so i was happy.

i'll be on here sometime tomorrow after mom's appointment in the morning.

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

happy it must be nice if you found the right one day

i started thinking about this today and i realized i have been single for 41 straight Valentine's Days. i'm sure a good number of them have been by choice but, especially for poetic purposes, a good number have also been the process of elimination. i have often wrote about being on the wrong side of that process. it's not fun. so, part of me would love to break this streak. but, part of me also understands i'd have a better chance of winning the lottery or brokering peace in the Middle East.

mom felt well enough today that she didn't take her walker with her when we went out and about. she also didn't use a cane. i made sure to be close enough to her that she wouldn't fall. hopefully this means her back is much better and now it's just about getting the hip better.

the New York Rangers won last night in Columbus, 3-2. that's 6 wins in a row. they next play on Thursday at the Islanders.

Monday Night Raw was spectacular last night. Bayley winning the Women's Championship was great. but, the best part of the show to me was Kevin Owens. i think him turning on Jericho now caught everyone off guard. that's why it was so fucking perfect. now, the badass that takes no shit, fuck the world, Kevin Owens is back.

Hate Thy Neighbor was very interesting last night. watching a gay pride parade in Jerusalem and seeing both sides of it was both good and bad. i love the number of people that are against hate. i hate the fact that some old man is taking poor boys and making them soldiers for their version of a religion. i thought the host made the best statement though. both sides love to talk, but neither of them listen. now everyone can understand why nothing gets done for peace in the Middle East.

Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis was brilliant last night. i'm not a huge fan of the band, but i am definitely a bigger fan after watching the documentary. the footage from Paris and the terrorist attack was amazing to watch. i'm not going to lie, i had a few tears during the documentary. i highly recommend checking this out.

the finale of The Young Pope was great last night. i didn't think i was going to enjoy the series but in the end, it was much better than i thought it was going to be.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, WWE Smackdown and Taboo. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

the Dayton Flyers play at Saint Louis tonight. this is a game they MUST win and in doing so, the senior class will set the program record for most wins by one class in their 4 years. i'm really hoping to drink to that tonight.

a quick heads up, look for some of my poetry in the morning...

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i still have the trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for now.

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

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:

you'd think i'd be tired...

i think i got to bed around 4 in the morning or so. i was up 2 hours later as i'm still fighting this damn cold. staying hydrated means i go to the bathroom like a guy in his damn 70's. thankfully, i got a few more hours of sleep after that. i haven't taken anything for my cold for about 18 hours or so. a few coughing fits, sort of like back in my smoking days. it's up to the white blood cells now.

The Grammy Awards were pretty good last night, even though i was furious with the technical fuck ups during Lady Gaga's performance with Metallica. the tribute to Prince was awesome. i loved that Adele put so much into her tribute to George Michael. and Adele basically saying that Beyonce should have won all the big awards was truly a highlight.

and of course, a couple of shits from Ohio did this:

all in all, a pretty good night.

WWE Elimination Chamber last night was great. even though i was tired as fuck when i watched it, i really enjoyed all the matches. i love that Naomi is now the Women's Champion and i am fucking thrilled that Bray Wyatt is the new Heavyweight Champion. it's about damn time.

The Young Pope was excellent last night. the season finale tonight should be really good.

the return of Girls last night was ok. there was a few funny lines but... thank god it's the final season.

Homeland was great last night. i love a holy shit ending.

Last Week Tonight was absolutely fucking brilliant last night, as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Young Pope, Hate Thy Neighbor and Eagles of Death Metal: Nos Amis (Our Friends).

i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

the New York Rangers will look to continue their winning streak tonight in Columbus. hopefully i'll be enjoying a victory drink later tonight.

i'm not sure when i'll be on here tomorrow. i believe i have to drive mom around for a few things and i need to go to the bank.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
