i had a really good day gambling yesterday, right up until the NBA All Star game. i picked the wrong player to score 20 points and now it seems my mojo is fucked. i did make over $100 yesterday, so that was good. i will hopefully make a little money tonight, although my NHL picks today are punching me in the dick. at least i do adhere to my one rule of gambling, only wager what you are willing to lose.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
Manchester United got 2 goals from CR7, a golazo from Bruno and hell, even Jesse Lingard scored. 4-1 victory over Newcastle. i couldn't dream a better game for Cristiano to make his return. just fucking amazing. United plays on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Ohio State lost to Oregon yesterday, 35-28. the defense played like shit, the offense never stablished the run and quite frankly, Oregon outplayed them and outcoached them.
the Yankees actually won last night at the Mets, 8-7. they will go for the series win tonight.
ROH was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Scenes from a Marriage, Last week Tonight, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Heels, Billions and American Rust.
the New Orleans Saints will take on Green Bay today in Jacksonville, Florida. they have to play there because of the hurricane. i'd love to see them win today but i have no clue how they are going to do now that Drew Brees has retired.
my mother's team is the Jets. my sister is a Steelers fan.
it is supposed to get hot and humid again this coming week. joy. mom has a doctor's appointment on Tuesday i believe. i have one on Friday. great.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow kids...

today was one of those days where i could have stayed in bed the entire day and i don't think i would have missed a fucking thing. the dog days of summer are here and my usual depression is setting up camp, getting ready for a show. joy.
Monday Night Raw was good, bad, uneven, pretty cool, what the fuck and everything else possible last night. it's what happens when you schedule a ppv a week after SummerSlam. just way too busy for its own good last night.
the season finale of I May Destroy You was excellent last night.
here are your highlights from the NBA last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Deadliest Catch and Hard Knocks.
i'm sure i'll probably watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight.
the Yankees start a 2 game series tonight in Atlanta. hopefully they will win, i need a drink.
that's all for me kids. i have trash to pick up here and next door and dinner to make.
i'll be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
until then...

yesterday was one of those Saturdays where i would love to just fucking forget it ever fucking happened.
i think i fucked up my left calf again. i had a horrible cramp in it the other day and i'm pretty sure i'm limping now because of the damage that caused. joy.
Manchester United lost to Crystal Palace yesterday, 2-1. i hated the officiating in the game, but with that being said, United didn't play nearly good enough to win. and to give up the game winner in the 93rd minute, just 3 minutes after you tied the game, is fucking inexcusable. let alone, another fucking missed penalty shot. and then the stat that really got me down yesterday... since their dramatic comeback at PSG last season, United has only won 3 of their last 15 games. that's like a punch to the dick.
the New York Yankees lost to the Dodgers yesterday, 2-1. the 9th inning was fucking crazy. and once again, piss poor umpires blew a few calls... but nothing is new there. hopefully the Yankees win the series tonight.
and of course, the game i didn't get to see, the New Orleans Saints defeated the New York Jets, 28-13.
ROH was pretty good last night.
the final two episodes of Holey Moley were good. of course, only one of them were on television. our local ABC had the wrong description for one of the episodes, so the same episode recorded twice. i found the one i didn't see online. good times.
NJPW was excellent last night.
Hitsville: The Making of Motown was really good last night.
i did watch some of the Miami vs. Florida game last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Power, Succession, The Righteous Gemstones, Ballers, The Affair and On Becoming a God in Central Florida.
i had a good amount of Wild Turkey last night, so i actually got close to 4 hours of solid sleep. joy.
i think mom wants me to do some cleaning today. and i know i have that paperwork to fill out for my doctor's appointment on Tuesday.
so, that's all for me today kids. i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
until tomorrow...

and of course, the fucking phone rings at 9, you know, because the rest of the world operates on normal hours. i was just happy i got breakfast in me by noon. if we get any rain tonight, i think i will drown myself in CBD oil and just live with the results.
the New York Yankees won yesterday in Cleveland, 7-6 in 10 innings. the Yankees were up 5-0 after the second inning. the bullpen pissed that away. and then the defense fucked up in the 9th when the Yankees were winning 6-5. at least they won the fucking game in the 10th. the Yankees start a 2 game series at home tonight against the Mets. i'd love to see them win both games and start a winning streak again.
i only got to watch a little of the Women's World Cup yesterday and today. i do plan on watching all of the USA vs. Thailand tomorrow afternoon.
the USMNT shit the bed yesterday against Venezuela and lost 3-0. my fears about this team are coming true. and if they get embarrassed in the Gold Cup, perhaps the hierarchy will realize they need to start the whole god damn process over again.
here are your highlights from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. there will be a Game 7.
Axios was really good last night.
Big Little Lies was great last night, but way too short of an episode. and i can tell already, having Meryl Streep on the show is going to be fucking great.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
the season finale of Billions was perfect last night. and i can't wait for the next season.
The Chi was really good last night. that season finale next week looks great.
Our Cartoon President was fucking crazy last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
Game 5 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that. i do expect Toronto to win tonight, even if Kevin Durant plays.
i had to go out and get mom some money from her ATM this afternoon. of course, that's another town over. and then i had to go back to go to another town to get pills from the grocery store. and then drive back into Brookville and buy some lunch. in the car for over 60 minutes. of course, nearly half of that was in the line at Wendy's. joy.
i have to take mom to get her new ID card tomorrow at the DMV. i think she has come to grips with the fact she can no longer drive safely. of course, i'll truly believe it when she only goes for the new ID card and not a driver's license.
i'm hoping to be back by the time the USA women's soccer match starts. and then i'll do the blog after that is over.
i don't want to jump the gun, but it looks like mom might have won her social security disability back. of course, the insurance company called her and not her lawyer. mom saved the message and immediately called the attorney. i'm sure they are happy as well as they will get paid now.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i got up at 6 this morning. i couldn't sleep worth a shit, so i figured lets just get going so i know i am ready when mom has her doctor's appointment. we left on time, got there early and then mom forgot what floor the office was on. she thought it was on 2. it was on 3. thankfully, we were there early enough it didn't really matter. the doctor told her she really doesn't have any options anymore with her Meniere's Disease. if the symptoms get worse, they can try some steroids again, but the side effects for a diabetic are not really worth it. after that was over, we went out to breakfast. mom wanted to go to Waffle House. we went and maybe after we were there for 15 minutes or so, there was a rush of people. i told mom it must be lunch time. when we left, i noticed whoever fucking parked next to me was well over the line and probably less than 2 feet from the Highlander. i got mom in fine, since she had a sane person parked on her side. it took me a few minutes and a couple loud fucks to get in. i hope the old fucker enjoys the scratches on his passenger door. in the process, i really fucked up my back. i iced it down as good as i could before i had to go to my doctor's appointment. this was for part 2 of the Hepatitis B vaccine. i got there on time, waited for over 25 minutes, was in the room for 2 minutes and then it was back on the road back home. more or less, i drove for 50 minutes to sit and wait for 25 so i could sign a paper, get a shot and then leave. good times.
i wanted to have this blog done way before now.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees start a brief series tonight in Arizona. hopefully, they can keep on winning.
to everyone fighting for their freedom in Venezuela, know you are fighting for a worthy cause.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know the Yankees play in the afternoon, so probably before then.
i hope everyone had a great day. i have to go ice down my back once again. good times.

the last 20 hours or so have been fucking crazy. i suppose i should start with last night.
as a pro wrestling fan, i am somewhat conditioned to think everything is a work. and i've been watching long enough to spot little clues and shit like that. so, when Roman Reigns came out in street clothes last night, i knew something was up. i had seen reports earlier in the day that he was injured, so i was figuring it was that. when he started his promo off apologizing and saying his real name was Joe, i knew it was much more than just an injury. and when he mentioned that he had leukemia and now it was back, i was fucking stunned. of course, the cynical bastard inside of me goes well, Vince finally found a way to make him the top babyface in the company. when Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose came out and both were crying, i lost it. and to think that the night ended with Seth and Dean winning the tag titles and then Dean turning heel on Seth, this was one of those Monday Night Raw episodes that will go down in history.
The Voice was really good last night.
i did watch Stolen Daughters: Kidnapped by Boko Haram on HBO last night. that was one tough documentary to get through without feeling a hole repeatedly punched into your stomach. i urge EVERYONE to watch this.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, Mayans M.C. and The Voice.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Florida. i will probably watch some of that.
i know the World Series starts tonight. i couldn't give two shits.
so, i got mom to her eye surgery on time today. as they were taking us back, the nurse told us we were there really early. mom told her the appointment was at 2:30. the nurse said she has it at 3:30. well, fuck me. mom showed me the paperwork when we got home, it said 2:30 on it. so, we had to sit in the room for a good hour or so before they took mom in around 3. she said this one felt different and she's complaining a lot more than she did last week for the right eye. i told her maybe it was more scar tissue they had to remove or something. hopefully, it will feel better by tomorrow. i know she goes to the eye doctor next Tuesday to make sure everything looks good. fingers crossed. thankfully, i did bring my little notebook along. i wrote 9 poems today. i'll type them up sometime soon. that fills the little notebook up.
i did watch the beginning of Manchester United vs. Juventus when i was at the hospital. i told mom that i didn't think United would win today. i was right again. Juventus won 1-0. oh well.
mom wanted to go out to eat after her procedure. for some fucking reason, she wanted Bob Evans. nothing like eating lunch at 4. i had some turkey. mom basically had dinner. joy.
on the way home, a motorcyclist told me my right tail light was out. i believe that's the same fucking light mom had Toyota fix over the summer. joy.
i need to get the trash picked up here and next door. so, that's all for me kids.
i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.

the rain last night was just enough to have me in misery for most of the night. and as good as i am at finding pleasure in the pain on most days, last night certainly wasn't one of those nights. 2 more days until i start drinking again. i can barely contain my joy.
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
the New York Yankees defeated the Twins last night 14-1. Miguel Andujar is on a streak that is hotter than hot at the moment. when your name is being tossed around with Joe DiMaggio and Mickey Mantle, you know you are doing something right. the game got so bad last night, the Twins used a position player to get the final outs. hopefully the Yankees can win again tonight.
The Voice was pretty good last night. i have no clue who is getting eliminated tonight.
The Late Late Show Carpool Karaoke Primetime Special was pretty good last night.
Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. i am really looking forward to the Greatest Royal Rumble this Friday from Saudi Arabia.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Chris Gethard Show, The Jim Jefferies Show and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i am bringing along my little notebook while mom is at her physical therapy session. i'd love to write a few more poems for this month. i'll have plenty to choose from for my submissions for May then.
after her physical therapy, i believe we're going to go to the Menards store down there. that's the only place around here where i can find pepper suet for a good price. the birds love that shit and the squirrels hate it. and i think we need a few other things as well. after that, it will be a really late lunch/early dinner someplace down there. and once we get back home, i'll have to do the trash and hopefully get that done before all the shows begin.
hence why i'm doing the blog this morning.
here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:
now i need to go take a shower. enjoy that visual.

we ended up with 4.6 inches of rain yesterday and a tornado warning as well. i believe there was one just a few miles south of us. good times.
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
i was a little surprised the New York Yankees got their game in yesterday. it was pretty much raining the entire game. the Yankees bullpen once again shit away a lead, but thankfully the offense picked them up today. mainly, Didi did. the Yankees shortstop had an amazing game with 8 RBI in the 11-4 win.
The Voice was really good last night.
Smackdown was excellent last night.
205 Live was very good last night.
The Chris Gethard Show last night was fucking great.
The Jim Jefferies Show was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was pretty good last night. this season should be great as usual.
the New York Rangers lost last night 5-2. thankfully, i didn't watch any of the game.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i'll miss part of the Yankees game today as it will be going on while i'm at the doctor's office. i shouldn't be there long as it's just an appointment to check my A1C and maybe change some prescriptions around.
i need to get in the shower and get ready to leave.
that's all for me kids.

i'm not sure if i can remember a summer with this much damn rain. and of course, i think the people that mow our grass are out of town, so it didn't get cut before this latest inch or more of rain fell. joy.
the New York Yankees got some more great starting pitching yesterday and plenty of offense to beat the Reds 9-5. they start another series tonight against Tampa. if they are "for real" about making the playoffs and being a threat, they need to win this series against the Rays.
Manchester United lost to Barcelona last night 1-0. honestly, the score was better than it should have been. David De Gea was the sole reason United only gave up 1 goal in the first half. United desperately needs help in the midfield and defense to play against a team like Barcelona.
i liked how the USA came out last night against Jamaica. they appeared they were taking the game seriously. of course, when Jamaica's best player (their goalkeeper) got injured and had to leave the game, it was like the USA thought the game was going to be easy now. once again, they were sloppy in the final third and it wasn't until a beautiful free kick from Jozy Altidore that they had a lead, 1-0. 4 minutes into the second half, Jamaica evened the score. go ahead and ratchet up the tension. Clint Dempsey put one off the post that had me pulling my fucking hair out. and then in the 88th minute, Jordan Morris, the guy who allowed his guy to score for Jamaica, makes up for his mistake with a wonderful goal. a cup winning goal. amazingly, they still haven't been defeated since Bruce Arena took over the job. i certainly enjoyed that victory drink last night.
Big Brother went as expected last night. sadly, i think Kevin ruined the surprise tonight. Ramses will get evicted and all the fireworks i was hoping for probably won't happen.
Lucha Underground was really good last night.
NXT was very good last night.
Snowfall was excellent once again last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Big Brother.
i'm hoping the damn rain has stopped. i know i need to get ready to take mom to physical therapy. i haven't had too many problems with the pinched nerves today. my greatest fear is that i'm developing carpal tunnel syndrome. i remember my father having it so bad in both wrists he had to have surgery on both of them. of course, that asshole had both done at the same time. that way we (mom, sister, myself) had to take care of him 24/7.
i can't imagine given my history being anything other than a poet.
i figure i will be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store. it's supposed to be raining tomorrow, so that should be about as fun as a bag of flaming dicks.
that's all for me kids. take it easy and then take it again.

from what i've been reading, the "experts" believe the Dayton Flyers will be anywhere from a 8 to an 11 seed. i wouldn't mind them being on the 10 line, as that would move them away from a potential game against a #1 seed if they somehow manage to actually win their first game this year. honestly, i'm just really hoping they get selected. Dayton has never gone 4 years in a row and i would love to finally scratch that off the fucking list. plus, that's a nice big carrot for the freshman next year.
i did do a little writing last night. i wrote 5 poems, one of which i really, really liked. i'm hoping that one gets published as i already have a Soundcloud recording ready for it.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.
ROH was pretty good last night.
i ended up watching more UFC than college basketball last night. i'm happy that there wasn't many upsets. that should help Dayton's cause.
Jerrod Carmichael: 8 was absolutely BRILLIANT last night. one hour of some of the best comedy i have seen in a long time.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Little Lies, Girls, Crashing, Last Week Tonight, Homeland, Billions and Feud: Bette & Joan.
the New York Rangers play tonight at Detroit. i will probably watch some of the game while i'm filling out my NCAA brackets. hopefully Antti Raanta is ready to lead the team to the playoffs while The King is out with an injury.
i have to go to the grocery store today. mom has pills that need to be picked up and i have over $80 worth of pills that need to be picked up. plus, i might as well do the grocery shopping just in case some snow does hit here. and since i'll be going to 4 basketball games over Tuesday and Wednesday... i guess i'll just get it done today.
i will be on here tomorrow most likely after Manchester United takes on Chelsea in the FA Cup. i'm hoping but not counting on a victory for United. there's a reason Chelsea has been on top of the league for most of the season. but, it would be a good day for a miracle.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday and enjoyed that hour of sleep you lost. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.
