i think the muscle relaxers really kicked in last night. there is a period of about 6 hours that i have no damn clue what the fuck was going on. all i know is i was having a golf lesson with Tiger Woods and really needed to piss. that was when i woke up and saw that it was damn near 10 AM. i remember going back to bed around 4 AM. good to know drugs still work.
the grocery stores were packed today. i figured as much. i got everything on the grocery list. plus, some extras for the long holiday weekend. my goal was to get the shopping done and be back home before the rain hit. 5 minutes after i pulled in to the garage, it started to pour. i just wish they had already picked up the damn recyclables. of course, as i told my mother they would do, they left the fucking lids open when they did pick them up. nothing like dumping an inch of water out of the can. fuckers.
the Yankees lost last night at home to the Reds, 5-4. this is quickly turning into, yeah, but did Judge homer again? that answer would be yes. he's now at 32 for the season. on pace to hit something like 66 or so.
i did catch a little of the Copa America games last night. Costa Rica defeated Paraguay, 2-1. Brazil and Colombia played a 1-1 draw. that means Colombia wins the group and will play Panama next. Brazil finished second and will take on Uruguay next. that one should be spicy.
NXT was really good last night. Heatwave should be really good on Sunday in Toronto.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
Hard Knocks Off Season was pretty interesting last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite.
no Euro 2024 or Copa America games today. all that fun will start back up tomorrow night with Argentina vs. Ecuador.
i might watch some of the MLS tonight.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i might try to get the blog done in the morning so i can just do jack shit the rest of the day.
if you are traveling for the Fourth of July, be patient and safe. as always, don't blow off your fucking hand with fireworks. and, don't drink and drive, don't get high and drive, but do drink and and do get high.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i was having a pretty productive morning, which was kind of surprising since mom had one of those dreams where she woke up with a scream at 4 in the morning bitching about frogs in her shoes. of course, i wasn't asleep yet, mostly because i never feel comfortable going to sleep until i know she is actually asleep. fun times. so yeah, i got a few things done this morning and sure enough, my bad back decided it wanted all the attention. so, i iced my back down and put on some tennis. i figured that would put me to sleep. i got almost two hours. joy.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday in St. Louis, 5-1. they start a series tonight at home against Baltimore.
the USMNT defeated Trinidad & Tobago 6-0 last night to win their group in the Gold Cup.
The Righteous Gemstones last night was fucking hilarious.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
i did listen to episode 454 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i'm not really happy that the New York Knicks are trading Obi Toppin to the Pacers. i am happy for Obi though, as he is going to a team that might actually know how to use him better. so, i guess i will be a Pacers fan now.
we had the windows open last night after the storms went through. the fucking fireworks were close enough that if i was a war veteran i would have taken cover and grabbed a weapon. should be a fun next couple of days.
i had to go to the local grocery store to get a few things for tomorrow. potato salad, coleslaw, macaroni salad and i got an apple pie as well. and of course, by the time i got home and started eating lunch, Rite Aid texted me for the prescription i ran out of this morning. good times.
i did watch a little of the NASCAR race yesterday.
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow in the morning.
dinner tonight is going to be eggs and bacon. i figured we haven't done breakfast for dinner in a few months now.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
i did the dishes before i went to bed last night. now, i won't say i got great sleep as i saw the clock way too many times overnight. but, i didn't really wake up until almost 10 AM. i'll take it.
the Yankees won both games of the doubleheader yesterday against Cleveland. and both wins were come from behind victories. the Yankees won Game 1, 13-4. they won Game 2, 6-1. they go for the season sweep of Cleveland this afternoon.
WWE Money in the Bank was really good last night. while i'm not very happy that Theory won the men's briefcase, especially since he wasn't added to the match until right before it started, i am fucking so damn happy that Liv Morgan won the women's briefcase and cashed it in to win the Smackdown's women's championship by defeating Ronda Rousey.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of We Hunt Together, The Chi, the season finale of The Man Who Fell to Earth, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Westworld.
i'm not sure what else i might watch today. in a perfect world, i would love to get some writing done.
i will probably be on here sometime in the afternoon tomorrow.
i don't really have any plans for July 4th.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
a big thank you to everyone that has checked out the poems i have had published the last couple of days:
this has been a quiet Saturday so far. that will change in a hour or so for sure.
the Yankees got rained out last night. that means they will play a split doubleheader tomorrow against the Mets. hopefully, they will go into those games after a win over the Mets this afternoon.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both really good last night.
here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final:
at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Spain defeated Switzerland 1-1 (3-1) on penalty kicks. Italy defeated Belgium, 2-1. today, Czech Republic will play Denmark and England plays Ukraine.
at the Copa America yesterday, Peru defeated Paraguay 3-3 (4-3) on penalty kicks in one of the crazier games i have seen in a long while. Brazil defeated Chile last night, 1-0. tonight, Uruguay plays Colombia and Argentina takes on Ecuador.
i did go to the local grocery store yesterday to get a few things. i was pretty happy that i was out of there in less than 10 minutes.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH.
i'm sure i'll watch the NBA playoffs tonight as well as some MLS today.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i don't have any plans for the Fourth of July, but when living with someone who thinks every other moment she is having a heart attack, that could always change.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

so i guess there's a fucking full moon and it's going to be the Fourth of July. what the fuck could go wrong?...
i have taken advantage of Bandcamp Friday and bought a ton of music today. you'll see some of that listed below.
i ended up watching some WWII footage last night about Hitler's executioner and some David Blaine magic. you would think with nothing on i would have been a little more productive. you'd be wrong.
NXT UK was another best of last night. hopefully, one of these days, they'll have some new material to show.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
my hunch was correct this morning. i put out the mail last night because i figured the mailman would be here early so he could start his 3 day weekend ASAP. sure enough, the mail was here before 11 this morning.
i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the morning.
i have no plans for the 4th. hell, i doubt i even watch some fireworks on television.
i think we're making meatloaf for dinner tonight. on these type of dishes, i more or less play the role of sous chef until mom can't take standing or gets tired. she got a little worried last night when i put some garlic in the mac and cheese. i loved how surprised she was when she liked it.
if you are one of the dumb fucks playing with fireworks this weekend, be safe. don't burn anything down or harm yourself, unless you are a racist. then, please just find a way to die.
have a safe weekend kids. stay hydrated.
until tomorrow...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

we are now into this summer pattern of it getting warm every morning and then the afternoon is nothing but storms. joy.
this morning i was putting away the trash can next door when the neighbor to that house came out and talked to me. he asked me if i liked all these birds? i have like 4 bird feeders in the front yard. i told him it's mostly for my mother. he asked if she likes watching them. i said yes. he looks at me and says with a rather loud voice those birds nest in that tree over there and shit all over any of the cars i leave out in the driveway. inside my head, i was fucking laughing. out of my mouth came, oh yeah? i didn't bother to apologize or ask if he wanted me to do something about it. i simply walked away. when i told mom about it, i said i might get some bird food with some berries in it next time, make it a little more colorful for him. mind you, this old guy is a Republican and acts like he runs the cul-de-sac. that might be the best joy i have this week.
the rain today has started a pain in my neck that runs all the way down my spine. i really could use some high grade shit right now.
the New York Yankees lost last night to the Mets, 4-2. their home run streak ended at 31 games. oh well. hopefully they get back to winning tonight.
i turned on the Gold Cup last night right at the start of extra time. i felt bad for Haiti, as the penalty was a little harsh (still the right call though) and they hit the crossbar with like 2 minutes left in the game. Mexico won 1-0. they will advance to the finals to play the winner of Jamaica vs. USA tonight.
i really hope the USA plays better tonight or i don't think they will get past Jamaica.
the Netherlands defeated Sweden today 1-0 at the Women's World Cup. that game went to extra time as well. so the final on Sunday will be the Netherlands vs. USA. the third place game on Saturday will be Sweden vs. England.
Smackdown was pretty good last night but nowhere close to as good as Raw was. 205 Live was really good last night.
Songland was pretty good last night.
Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. the whole episode was about all the theories about what cause the Destination to sink two years ago.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. i expect some crazy shit tonight at the eviction.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and two episodes of The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know most of the day tomorrow i will be doing my laundry. i'll probably try to get a blog done in the morning or early afternoon maybe.
hope the weather is better wherever you are.
and if you are traveling for the Fourth of July, be safe.
until tomorrow kids...

so, when my mother told me as i was getting out of the shower that she checked GoFundMe and it was no longer accepting any donations on Debbie Kirk's page, i laughed. i win again. i warned her about making me the beneficiary of the account, but as usual, what the fuck do i know. so, i asked them to stop the donations as that would take my name off of the account. and a big thank you to GoFundMe on their review of everything i sent them, refuting every single thing Debbie said.
i had a nice long visit at the doctor's office this afternoon. my A1C was excellent, 5.2. that is almost at the not a diabetic stage. now, my blood pressure was up, i can't imagine why given the fucking stress i have had to deal with over the last few days. they want me to come back in 2 weeks to have that checked again. if it's still elevated, i get to start medicine for that. they are putting me on pills for cholesterol, not that my numbers are really askew, it's more of a preventive measure given my type 2 diabetes. so after a piss, meeting a few new doctors, having a conversation with the assistant that looks like a former crush, i was finally walking out of the door. maybe 75 minutes after i walked in. fuck me. i still had to go to the grocery store to pick up pills and mom, for some fucking reason, wanted Taco Bell for lunch.
my arthritis has been killing most of the day. there has been just enough rain in the area to make me a grouchy fucker at the moment.
here is your World Cup update:
Sweden defeated Switzerland 1-0. i know a certain artist in Sweden that is probably still drinking for that victory. i got home in time to watch the last 15 minutes of regulation of Columbia vs. England. when Columbia sent it to extra time, all i could think of was all the past England failures. amazingly, England slayed the demons and won on penalty kicks, 4-3. so, now all the quarterfinals are set up.
France vs. Uruguay, Brazil vs. Belgium, Sweden vs. England and Russia vs. Croatia. those games start on Friday.
the New York Yankees couldn't get the big hit when they needed last night, leaving a small village on base. so, as i have seen a million times, their pissed away chances became the other team's momentum. the Braves won 5-3 in 11 innings last night. hopefully the Yankees will get back to winning tonight.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i don't really have any plans for July 4th this year. i believe the heat index tomorrow is supposed to be around 105 degrees. if i wake up early, i might feed the birds. the rest of the day will be spent in the air conditioning.
i do plan on doing a blog early as i know the Yankees play in the afternoon tomorrow.
we just had some thunder rattle the house really good, so that's all folks.

i was in bed last night and could hear some loud booms, most likely coming from the apartments behind us. this time of year always reminds me when i lived on the farm and just how much the cats hated the sound of fireworks. every year, i would lose a couple that would just run away. i figure they would end up as a meal for a coyote.
time for some poetry news... i wrote 5 poems last night. wrote them and typed them up in just under 50 minutes. not bad. i really enjoyed the first poems of July. hopefully more are on the way.
i sent out 35 poems today; 4 to The Commonline Journal, 6 to Record Magazine and 5 each to Nerve Cowboy, Horror Sleaze Trash, Synchronized Chaos, Live Nude Poems and Misfit Magazine. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 8-1 to Houston. they come back home tonight to start a series against Toronto. they are sending 5 players to the All Star game this year. hopefully Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez do well in the home run derby.
Germany won the Confederations Cup yesterday over Chile 1-0. considering this was Germany's B team, the entire world should be scared what team Germany is going to send to the World Cup next year.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. i urge everyone that only follows the show on television to check out the live feeds from time to time. they are much more entertaining than what you see on television.
Power was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was fucking hilarious as always.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i don't really have any plans for tomorrow. i think it's supposed to be hot and humid. so, i'll probably do what i do for most holidays... my laundry.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. for those of you whose weekend is extended, hope you enjoy it. for the rest of us, back to the fucking grind.

i could feel my bones start to ache while i was sleeping. i woke up this morning and felt everything inside of me crack at once. i could hear the rain outside of my window. i have no mirrors in my room. i already know what misery looks like.
i ended up writing 5 poems yesterday. i typed them up and really like them. the last one was particularly disturbing. i can't wait to see if that one gets published.
Euro 2016 Update:
Italy vs. Germany was a game of tactics yesterday. when Germany took the lead in the second half, i thought now it gets interesting. that was until Italy got that gift of a penalty kick from Jerome Boateng. 1-1 and i knew it, the game was going to go to penalty kicks. the shootout was amazing as much as it was odd. to see that many misses was crazy. i figured there would be some saves given that two of the best keepers in the world were going at it. amazingly, Germany won 6-5 in the 9th round of penalty kicks. well, that monkey is finally off of Germany's back. they obviously become the favorites now to win it all. today, France takes on the Cinderella story of Iceland. i'll root for Iceland just so i can possibly see history once again. the winner today takes on Germany in the semifinals.
the New York Yankees lost on a walk off home run last night, 2-1. i really think Joe Girardi could over manage a little league game if you gave him the chance. hopefully they get swept later today.
i just saw the advanced forecast for the days i'll be in Cleveland. figures the best day is the one we're leaving. thankfully, these things are usually wrong.
ROH last night was a look back on the first half of 2016. 3 great matches. i can't wait to see what the second half of 2016 produces.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Ray Donovan and Roadies.
i don't ever recall a July 3rd in my life that i haven't had the air conditioner on. i came down this morning and was able to open up the house. and better yet, leave it open all damn day long. the humidity is gone, replaced with a cool breeze. probably the last time this will ever happen in my life, so i might as well enjoy it.
i sent off 6 poems today to Dead Snakes and The Camel Saloon. when i hear back from them, i will pass along the verdicts.
the Yankees lost yet again yesterday, 6-3. sadly, they are still only 4 1/2 games out of first place. the whole damn division fucking sucks this year. they play tonight in Minnesota. Tanaka is pitching, so at least they will have a chance to win.
i did watch Big Brother and Wilfred last night. i mostly knew what was going to happen on Big Brother as i follow a couple of blogs that document the daily ins and outs. Wilfred had me laughing as always last night. hopefully they will go out with a bang this final season.
tonight, i'll be watching the live episode of Big Brother. sadly, Joey will be voted out tonight. she reminds me of my girlfriend when i was 23. almost a dead ringer for her. hopefully, Devin will be the next one out. completely useless. i'll be interested in how they will decide the 2 HOH's tonight.
i also watched that tree house show last night. fuck, i wish i had $86,000 to blow on a tree house. that's some serious fuck you money.
i'm gearing up for the cats to panic with the fireworks coming. it's usually not that bad out here in the sticks but the assholes next door like to drink. so, i fully expect an explosion around 2 in the morning or so.
i took advantage of the good weather and filled up all the bird feeders today. that should be enough food for the entire holiday weekend.
that's pretty much all for me today. i will be on here early tomorrow before the World Cup games.
hope this finds everyone well. if you happen to be traveling for the 4th of July, be safe. enjoy your trip. and fight the urge to leave one of the kids behind.
be well my enemies. back to your regularly scheduled programming.

sort of been watching the news most of the day. not that the goings on in Egypt interest me much, i'm just the kind of asshole that wants to know what's going on at all times. my brain refuses to not be working 24/7.
i looked at myself in the mirror this morning and laughed. my right arm is sunburned and my left is not. i guess i'll have to do some driving in the next few days to even them out.
the weather forecast isn't looking great for the 4th of July. looks like almost a full day of rain. personally, i couldn't give a shit as i'm not much of a fireworks guy or a holiday guy for the most part. my worry comes that my mother and sister will be driving in that rain.
i'm hoping to get some pictures of some new flowers out here on the farm before all this rain hits. if i get them later today i'll try to post them tomorrow.
i guess the Minnesota Twins are exactly what the Yankees needed. another win last night, 7-3. too bad they can't play them all the time. hopefully CC pitches well tonight and the Yankees can win the series. of course, winning 3 games in a row might be too much to ask of these guys.
i must have really gotten too much sun yesterday. my stomach is now upset and i've got the shits. my apologies for that little bit of vomit that is now in your mouth after reading that last sentence and failing to fight off the visual.
another great episode of Deadliest Catch last night. would have loved to seen the look on that greenhorn's face when he opened his bag and found the octopus inside of it. he got what he deserved though.
i'm really looking forward to the first elimination on Big Brother tonight. although it isn't what i wish they would do, if chaos ensues after the "surprise" elimination, i'll be ok with it. Big Brother After Dark has really disappointed me now. being censored was bad enough. now, to be showing commercials as well... count me out. i'll just have to make part of my morning routine going to the sites to read about what happened in the house the previous night.
hopefully i will feel better by tomorrow. of course, if we get all that rain, my back will be in misery.
until tomorrow...
