so, i went 14-2 yesterday on the college basketball games. hopefully, i can repeat that today.
there's where the good news ends. the USMNT lost to Panama last night, 1-0. Panama's only shot on goal went in basically at the death of the game. fuck me. simply not good enough and honestly, the team has a ways to go to even sniff success in the World Cup, eventually.
the New York Rangers lost last night at home to Toronto, 4-3.
i slept like shit last night. could never get the pinched nerve to calm down, so basically i slept in 45 minute shifts. joy.
i have to take mom to get some death certificates today. i love taking care of some legal shit that could have been dealt with nearly a decade ago.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.
by this time tomorrow, the Dayton Flyers will be getting ready to play in the NIT.
so, the goal will be to get the blog done before that game tomorrow.
i think the weather is supposed to be shitty this weekend, so that will be good for watching college basketball.
i'm going to try to take a nap before i have to start driving. thankfully, it won't be a far drive.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
best of luck with your brackets and your gambling today.
until tomorrow kids...
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

i think the wind chill was in the single digits today. i guess it was a good day for the company we use for heating and air to check our old ass furnace today. the guy was somewhat shocked the air filter looked as good as it did. it still runs well for being old, amazingly. the first two of mom's Christmas gifts showed up today. now i hope the other 3 will get here before Christmas. two are coming from foreign countries, so i know the chances are low that they will actually get here in 20 days. fuck, Christmas in 20 days. time does fucking fly the closer you get to death.
so, i got some good news last night from The Rye Whiskey Review. i'm not going to spoil it until it is posted there, but it certainly gave me an interesting night of dreams.
The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.
AEW Dynamite was good last night.
both episodes of Abbott Elementary were hilarious last night.
Inside the NFL was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage and NJPW.
i will probably watch some of the NFL game tonight between Green Bay and Detroit.
i'm also planning on doing some writing tonight. i'd love to be able to crank out a good batch of poems so i can get some submissions out next week.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. if i truly get my ass in gear, it might be after i make a trip to the post office.
until tomorrow kids...

hard to believe today is the last day of June. i went to bed last night before 2 AM. sadly, all that means anymore is i will be up by 6 AM. sure enough. at least my blood sugar was lower. i got the notice in the mail yesterday why the Rybelsus was denied. apparently, just because a drug is unavailable, doesn't mean you can change over to the another drug in the same class. apparently, the insurance is ok with me going without my medicine and just get so bad you have no choice but to go on insulin for the rest of your life. fuck me.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 9-3. hopefully, they will split the series today.
the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were good. Switzerland defeated Italy 2-0 and Germany beat Denmark 2-0. today England plays Slovakia and Spain takes on Georgia.
i did watch some of the Copa America games last night. Argentina beat Peru 2-0 and Canada and Chile played to a 0-0 draw. that means Argentina and Canada both advance to the knockout rounds. today, Mexico plays Ecuador and Jamaica takes on Venezuela.
AEW Collision was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Chi and Power Book II: Ghost.
other than soccer, i'm sure i will watch some NASCAR and golf today, all in hopes of getting some more sleep.
i went to Rite Aid yesterday and the pharmacy was closed. so, guess where i'll be going back to today...
i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i think i got a little sleep last night. i was almost too tired to masturbate. almost. when i got up this morning, it was just before Manchester United and Everton was getting ready to play. more on that in a bit.
when Dayton got down 17 to VCU yesterday, i was pissed. thankfully, Dayton calmed down, started getting stops and started making shots. Dayton didn't lead in the game until there was 5 minutes left in the second half. Dayton won last night, 91-86 in OT. Dayton finished the season undefeated at home. VCU will get the 5th seed in the A10 tournament.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both very good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
Manchester United won 2-0 this morning over Everton. honestly, Everton was the better team for most of the game, but United won two penalties and Bruno and Rashford both scored.
enjoy some music:

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Blues.
i'm sure i will watch plenty of sports today.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
when i woke up this morning, the grass was covered with snow. thankfully, the driveway and sidewalks were not.
the Dayton Flyers won yesterday against Fordham, 78-68. they play VCU today for the A10 Championship. Dayton hasn't won the A10 conference tournament in 20 years.
the New York Rangers won yesterday in Buffalo, 2-1, in OT. they play today at Pittsburgh.
the New York Knicks lost yesterday at the Clippers, 106-95. they play tonight at the Lakers.

i did watch a few MLS games last night.
Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Your Honor, the season finale of The Last of Us and Last Week Tonight.
Manchester United and Southampton played a 0-0 draw today. considering United was down to 10 men for more than half of the game (Casemiro got another red card), i'm fine with the draw. still mad at the red card though and some other shitty decisions made by Anthony Taylor today. every ref should know, if you are trending after a game is over, you did a fucking horrible job.
if Dayton wins today, i will be absolutely fucking glued to the selection show for the NCAA tournament later tonight. if they lose, i mean i'll still do some brackets, but i won't give two shits about them either.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

so, Gerrit Cole did what an ace is supposed to do last night. he pitched 7 innings, allowing 2 runs and striking out 8. amazingly, Aaron Boone used his bullpen correctly last night and the Yankees won, 4-2. that forces a Game 5 tonight back in the Bronx. hopefully, the Yankees will score early and often and make the game a laugher. now, i know that probably won't happen, but i do hope they win. whoever wins will play in the ALCS at Houston.
the New Orleans Saints lost yesterday at home to the Bengals, 30-26. the Saints have so many injuries on offense. it started to really show in the second half. all the Saints needed to do was get one first down when they needed one, and they couldn't. i knew right then and there, the Bengals were going to win the game.
i did catch some of the MLS playoffs yesterday. hopefully, i will catch some of the games tonight.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night. the season finale is next week.

i don't have much interest in the Monday night football game tonight between the Broncos and Chargers.
i didn't get to bed last night until 5 this morning. nothing quite like the joys of insomnia. now, when i am writing, i don't mind it. but, staring at a blank page for hours and nothing shows up... now it becomes a problem.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to physical therapy.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

so, nothing much happened here last night other than my sister throwing a passive aggressive tantrum over dinner. she said she was going to cook last night and then got pissed when it was past 8 o'clock and my mother and i started getting hungry. my sister was pissed that we didn't say something sooner. i didn't bother to chime in, as i know whenever i say i'm going to cook dinner, i always ask mom or whoever when they would like to have it. but, since my sister can't think of anyone other than herself when it comes to this family, we're at fault. my mother told me last night that my sister told her that she thinks i hate her. i chuckled and told my mother that's not my problem. so yeah, good times.
ROH was very good last night.
the Yankees lost yesterday to the Pirates, 3-2. they play the Phillies today.

the NBA All-Star game is tonight, as well as all the other things that are usually part of All-Star weekend. i am really looking forward to seeing Obi Toppin in the dunk contest. i hope he wins it.
my sister has left to go back home. i guess she told my mother she feels like an outsider here. i bit my tongue when i heard that. all i could think was she moved away for a reason, right?
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i will hopefully be in a better mood.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i got mom to her appointment to get her COVID test on time. they did the test right in the car. she was under the impression she also had to have blood work done. the problem these days is my mother gets easily confused with things and then gets mad at herself for the confusion. i'm not sure how many times i can tell a person it's ok before i have to just let them fucking suffer in this shit. after that, we went over to Batteries + Bulbs to go recycle some batteries and light bulbs. i also found a hard case for my phone. that was a fucking bitch to get open but i do believe my phone is going to be safe now. after that, we went to Target. mom said it felt weird to be out and not at the doctor. i found some 2020 Topps Update while i was there. got some decent Ken Griffey Jr. cards in that box. mom got a wireless charger and a shell case for her phone. and of course, within 3 minutes, she completely forgot that she had already paid for everything. and to top it all off, when we got out to the parking lot, someone left the motorized cart right behind the Highlander. that felt wonderful on my bad back moving that fucker.
and to sprinkle on some more hate, i had Taco Bell for lunch.
got everything done to watch Manchester United shit the bed and lose today, 3-2, in the Champions League. that means they will be back into the Europa League now. fuck me. i almost would have felt better about this match if they would have just lost 3-0 instead of making the damn comeback and falling short.
tonight, the Dayton Flyers play at home against Northern Kentucky. i'm really hoping Dayton doesn't decide to cap off my miserable fucking day with another loss.
The Voice was really fucking good last night. i have no damn clue who makes the finals tonight.
Axios was pretty interesting last night.

the Yankees won again yesterday, 2-1, in 10 innings. they will go for the sweep of the Orioles this afternoon.

to be honest, none of the college football games really interested me yesterday. maybe next week, that will change.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
i'm off to the living room to hang with my sister before she leaves this afternoon.

physical therapy went well today. my therapist said i am stronger than when i started. i have two more appointments and then i will be done.
the New York Rangers fell into the trap last night of forgetting games are not played on paper. they dominated the first 11 minutes of the game and then had their asses handed to them, losing to Ottawa, 6-2.

today was a subtle reminder that as long as i'm going to be alive, i'm going to get fucked in the end. i needed to go to the bank and make a deposit today. i waited in line for 15 minutes to do that. first of the month, i get it. i then went to the hospital to get my blood drawn. there was a line to get to the sign in list. i waited 40 minutes after i got signed in to get called back. they took 5 vials of blood out of me. mind you, i was fasting and it was already after noon. so, i raced back home before my blood sugar would drop and get some breakfast in me. always nice to have breakfast before 1 in the afternoon.
in a little poetry news, i heard back from the folks at The Beatnik Cowboy on my recent poetry submission. they decided to pass on the poems. that kind of pissed me off as i wrote the 3 poems with that zine specifically in mind. oh well. guess i will have to find them a home elsewhere.
Monday Night Raw started off on fire last night, ended as crazy as i can ever remember, but the middle kind of felt like another Monday Night Raw.

the baseball playoffs start tonight with the National League Wildcard game between the Nationals and Brewers.
i didn't get to watch any of the Manchester United game yesterday. they finished the game with Arsenal 1-1. after mom's doctor's appointment, we went out to eat. after that, she needed to go to the ATM to get some money out. the ATM we normally use was out of service, so i had to drive her all the way to the bank. that's about a 30 minute drive. after we got done with that, i dropped mom off at home and i went to the grocery store to get some gas. i had $1 off that was expiring last night. the line was fucking crazy, but i eventually got to fill up. thank god i did as gas prices went up today by like 50 cents.
i finally got to make the appointment for my EMG test. that will be on Oct. 9th in the morning. joy. the person who told me to get this test told me that her opinion of my x-rays of my neck were that everything is normal. so, i guess arthritis in the neck with a few bone spurs is fucking normal. great.
i have trash to go pick up and i need to ice my back down. i've wanted to do that for the last 4 hours or so.
i hope everyone is doing well. i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon i suppose.
