well, it could have been worse...

 i didn't get to sleep until after 4 AM this morning. i got up a little after 9. that was a few minutes after the Manchester United game started. they were playing at Aston Villa. the game finished 0-0. honestly, it could have been much worse. but, at least they got a point out of the game. still, it is the worst start they have had in the Premier League. ETH will find out this week if he will still have the head coaching job at United. my best guess is if they have the next coach already lined up, he will get fired. if not, they will keep him, at least until the summer.

Ohio State defeated Iowa yesterday, 35-7.

the Yankees won Game 1 at home against the Royals last night, 6-5.

WWE Bad Blood was good last night.

AEW Collision was ok last night.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, The Penguin, Last Week Tonight and the series finale of Power Book II: Ghost.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of football today.

that took another 10 years off of my life...

 as a sports fan, i pretty much have seen it all. today is just another chapter of it, but, i am thankful i am 48 years old, so i know not to ever get my hopes up. when Manchester United went up 3-0 today in the FA Cup semifinal, i figured they would win but it wouldn't be like in the past. in the past, United goes up 3-0 and they would win either 3-1 or maybe 5-2, something like that. this United team lacks every single bit of confidence that all the United teams had before. and i sadly know that all too well. so, of course, United pissed that lead away and ended up going to extra time at 3-3 against Coventry. Coventry thought they had won the game in the 122nd minute, but they were offside by maybe an inch. probably even less than that. so the game went to penalty kicks. United won those 4-2, to advance to the FA Cup final against Manchester City. you could tell no one was particularly pleased that United won this way. to be honest, it feels like a fucking loss, which would have spared the potential embarrassment of what Manchester City will most likely do to them in the final. regardless, i'm not sure how ETH keeps his job and i'm not sure the new top brass has the guts to sell off all the players that need to leave. i was hoping for a way less stressful beginning to my Sunday. 

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

the Yankees lost yesterday at home to Tampa Bay, 2-0, in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series today.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

AEW Collision and AEW Rampage were both pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be A Gentleman in Moscow, The Sympathizer, The Jinx Part 2 and Last Week Tonight.

the New York Rangers play Game 1 of their playoff series this afternoon at home against Washington.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of sports today.

i hope your Saturday was good. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

until then 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.

Eso me quitó otros diez años de vida.

4 inches of rain and counting...

i have been in pain all day long. the rain started this morning and hasn't stopped. the field behind our house is starting to have spots where the water is standing. i know a couple of hours ago we were at 4 inches so far. i have no clue when the rain is going to stop.

since the rain was so bad it knocked out the satellite feed this morning for a few minutes, i decided to start writing. i wrote one poem last night and ended up writing 4 more this morning. i typed up all 5 this afternoon. i think a couple of them are really fucking good.

the New York Yankees pissed away a 5-1 lead last night to lose 10-5. fuck me. they start a series tonight at home against Texas.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

i absolutely loved what the Sacramento Kings did last night in the NBA draft. and i haven't been able to say that for years. to come out of the draft with 4 solid players that really can add so damn much to the franchise was well beyond my wildest dreams.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

i wasn't planning on paying much attention to the NHL draft tonight and then the New York Rangers traded their backup goalie and their top center to Arizona for a defenseman and the #7 pick in the first round tonight. so, i guess i will be paying attention to the first round for sure. the Rangers have 2 picks in the first round and i get the feeling they aren't done wheeling and dealing just yet.

i'm trying to write this while doing mom's laundry. nothing quite like trying to figure out what to type while folding underwear.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i have some shit to return that mom doesn't want now. i was going to do that today but decided not to once the fucking monsoon hit. and since the Confederations Cup games start at 11 in the morning here, i suppose i will try to be on here in the morning, maybe right after the morning shit.

now there's a visual to leave you on.

i hope everyone has a great Friday night. hopefully it's not raining wherever you are.

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