so, i guess i really needed some sleep last night as i just completely passed out in my massage chair around 12:15. i woke up at 3:53 and was shocked. i didn't even do mom's eyes before she fell asleep. i apologized to her this morning about that. as usual, i'm guessing it was the gin.
here are your two videos for this day of National Poetry Month:
the New York Rangers won last night at the Islanders, 9-2. they won all 4 games this season against the Islanders for the first time in over 20 years.
Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.
i did watch some college hockey last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.
the Yankees play tonight at home against the Giants.
so, i wrote 2 poems yesterday while mom was doing physical therapy. i typed those up after i watched the second half of the Manchester United game.
it was 1-1 when i started watching. United took a late lead and i honestly thought they could see the game out. silly me. they gave up a goal at the death of the game, 96th minute. 2-2 in the first leg against Lyon in the Europa League. second leg will be next week at Old Trafford.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i didn't get to sleep until 5 AM. i didn't wake up until 11:15 AM. now, i wish it would have been 6 straight hours of sleep, but i don't live in that fantasy world. i didn't eat breakfast until 1 in the afternoon. good times. after that, i had to vacuum the house. mom told me to do it in the morning. of course, she didn't wake up until 12:30. i took a weed gummy because my back is absolutely killing me. after i get this done, i'm going to ice my back down and hopefully be high enough that i enter a few different dimensions while taking a nap.
the USMNT at the Olympics defeated New Zealand yesterday, 4-1.
the Yankees won last night at Boston, 11-8, in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series tonight. they did make a trade yesterday that will hopefully be good for the offense.
Manchester United lost last night to Arsenal, 2-1. two players got injured last night, Yoro and Hojlund. i'm hoping they won't be out for long. United did win the penalty shootout after the game, so there's that.
AEW Collision and AEW Battle of the Belts were both pretty good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and Last Week Tonight.
the USWNT takes on Germany today at the Olympics.
since i woke up late, i only watched some of the USA men's basketball game today against Serbia. the USA won, 110-84.
i should be on here tomorrow before i take mom to her physical therapy appointment.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i do miss my days of smoking pot. i used to sleep well in those days. of course, the weed today is, at least i believe, light years better than what i used in the 90's.
the New York Yankees won last night over the Royals, 6-2. hopefully they win again this afternoon.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

my laundry is all done. so, i'll actually have clean clothes for being in public the next couple of weeks.
Smackdown was really good last night.
205 Live was really good last night as well.
i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent once again.
the New York Yankees came back to win last night over Baltimore, 8-7. they play the Phillies tonight.

today my mother turns 64. she looked a little puzzled at the card i gave her. it was a penguin saying all these positive things. she then looked inside and it was blank, except for what i wrote... don't worry, it all will be over soon. HAPPY FUCKING BIRTHDAY i then gave her a Marvin The Martian Hot Wheels car and a deluxe edition of Sgt. Pepper's by the Beatles. i figured with her turning 64, that gift just made too much sense. she liked them both.
the frames i ordered from Hobby Lobby came today. thankfully, nothing was damaged like the horror stories i read on their website.
the New York Yankees are now inventing ways to lose games. they scored in every inning from the 6th on last night, and still managed to fucking lose 8-7 in 10 innings. and now the injuries are piling up. Adam Warren, Gary Sanchez and Aaron Hicks. just fucking great. hopefully they stop the damn losing streak tonight in Oakland.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
The Putin Interviews, Part 4 were pretty damn comical last night. i did howl when Putin more or less said Trump is stupid and will have to learn while on the job. and i love when he suddenly starts talking perfect english when he's talking to a woman.

i went to the grocery store earlier this afternoon. it was probably too damn hot but, fuck it. as soon as i walked in, this unbelievably attractive woman walked past me and smiled. of course, i was headed to the pharmacy and she was going the opposite direction. i was really hoping to run into her while going around the store. of course, that never happened. i figure there's another poem. i got mom a small birthday cake and some other things she wanted. and amazingly, i got her the right pads this time. i made sure she wrote down as much info as i needed on the grocery list so i would get the ones she wanted this time. see women, a man that can follow directions. how you doin'?
i guess my sister is bringing pizza for dinner tonight. oh goody, pizza and cake. and only two toilets in the house. at least we know the code to get in next door. that might come in handy at some point.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i will try to be on here tomorrow before the cleaning ladies are here.

i have no damn clue why Manchester United always makes it tough on themselves this season. they controlled nearly all of the fucking game today, yet still had to go into extra time to advance to the semi-finals of the Europa League. plus, Rojo and Ibrahimovic got injured, hopefully not bad enough to miss any matches. they play again on Sunday. the draw for the Europa League is tomorrow.
the New York Yankees defeated the White Sox last night 9-1. the long ball was working last night. that closed out an 8-1 homestand. i'll gladly take that all season long. they start a road series tomorrow in Pittsburgh.
NXT was really good last night. always good to see a steel cage match.
Total Divas was hilarious last night. i do love a drunk Renee Young.

i did write 6 poems this afternoon and managed to get them typed up before the rain came. i really like all 6 of them. i'm going to try to get another round of submissions out next week, hopefully.
we've already had one round of storms move through here today. i'm not sure how many more rounds are coming. i did get all the windows closed before the first storm hit. i'm happy i didn't feed the birds now. when most of the birdseed gets wet, it's useless.
that's all for me kids. i'll be on here sometime tomorrow. i have some drinking to go do.

so i sent out 15 poems to the publisher that requested them today. i told him that he caught me at the right time, as i am on a little bit of a writing binge. i sent what i thought was my 15 best unpublished. hopefully i hear some good news from him in the coming days. whenever i do hear from him, i'll pass along the verdict.
a bit of a blockbuster day in the NHL. 2 major trades and the Stamkos decision is made before July 1st. and what are the New York Rangers doing... not a fucking thing. can you just imagine my happiness right now.
i made mom watch that documentary i watched the night before last night. we both are amazed at how many people deny that climate change actually exists.
the New York Yankees lost last night 7-1. thankfully, i didn't watch any of it. i want the team to start trading off players for younger prospects, so hopefully another loss is coming tonight.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Any Given Wednesday and Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
now that the major heat of the day is done, i might actually go out and feed the birds.
i'll be on here tomorrow in the morning most likely. i'm getting my hair cut in the afternoon (it's been awhile, got bangs in my eyes dammit) and the Euro 2016 starts back up tomorrow as well (Poland vs. Portugal).
i hope everyone is enjoying whatever...

i believe a cold front moved through overnight, as i tossed and fucking turned all night long. not exactly the kind of sleep i wanted going into a day i knew i would be sending out some poems. i'd like to think i do my best work when i'm feeling my best. of course, if that was true, my work has been shit for the last few years. no comments from the peanut gallery please.
i sent out 12 poems today; 6 to ZYX and 3 each to Dead Snakes and In Between Hangovers. i'll post the verdicts when i hear back from these places.
the New York Yankees pissed away lead after lead last night. thankfully, they are finally starting to show some heart and some fucking resolve. they battled back each time and eventually won 10-7. they will go for another series win in the game tonight.
The Voice is now at the point of the season where everyone left is talented enough to win the whole thing. of course, that wouldn't have been the case if Nick would have stayed last night.
there are now 8 left in the competition. i could see 6 of them winning the whole thing.
Deadliest Catch was pretty damn interesting last night.
i did catch the overtime of the Capitals vs. Penguins last night. i laughed when Pittsburgh scored to eliminate Washington. i have to think that Ovechkin knows at this point he's never going to win it all in Washington. perhaps they trade him to a certain team in New York that they once traded Jagr to. just a thought. the Penguins will now play Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference Final. i'll only watch because there are ex-Rangers on each team.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i'll watch NXT and some other shit on WWE Network tonight. also, i'll flip between some baseball and a Game 7 in the NHL.
i had an interesting talk at the post office today. i wasn't expecting the person behind the counter to tell me about her drug problem. her eyes got a little wide when i told her my pain tolerance is such that i can take 3 Percocets and they won't even phase me. i told her i'm not going to become an addict just so i don't feel pain. i was about to explain my theory on finding the pleasure in the pain but an old lady walked in. but i imagine the poems are going to get interesting.
today has been one of those days where the arthritis has won most of the day. when the body aches just sitting, you know it's a no win situation.
i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend checking out his interview with EC3. it's a must listen.
that's all for me kids. i hope there's a little sunshine where you live.

i wrote 5 more poems while in the waiting room this afternoon. i think mom was with the doctor for almost 45 minutes or so. that brings my total for the month up to 40 poems. this is easily the most productive month for me in years. i typed them up when we got back from my uncle's house. i really like all 5 of them.
it's been windy as fuck here today so it must be time to put out the trash. it never fucking fails.
the New York Rangers played much, MUCH better last night and had a holy shit, Rick Nash sighting as they defeated Florida 4-2. the Islanders lost as well last night, so that opens up a bit of a gap. that is a good thing. the Rangers play tomorrow against Boston.
i enjoyed The Voice last night. tonight is the last night for the battle rounds.
Monday Night Raw had some very good moments last night but is just too damn long to be great anymore. Kevin Owens vs. AJ Styles was excellent. they fucked over KO and put him in a 7 man ladder match at WrestleMania. now, the match will be great, but i really wanted Kevin Owens vs. Sami Zayn to go one on one. thankfully, i was in a chat with some wrestling friends last night, that made the show more fun than usual.
i also watched some of Men in Blazers last night, just so i could relive the Manchester United win once again.
Gotham was fucking awesome last night. things got crazy much quicker than i expected. so i know the rest of this season is going to be great.

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice. i'll probably also watch some Deadliest Catch to get ready for the season premiere next week.
i woke up this morning to the news of the terror attacks in Belgium. i immediately thought about the friends i have in Europe. i'm really to the left on most things in life; all drugs should be legal, fuck your god, etc, etc. i told my mother that maybe if we actually thought about not shoving our way of life down the throat of the world for a change, maybe there wouldn't be so much violence in the world. but, what do i know? we keep people ignorant so we can control them and then get shocked when these people decide to kill. i'm not so naive that i think there actually can be a world without violence. i mean, what the fuck would i write about if stupid people didn't exist? but, i'm also enough of a dreamer to believe that if you educated people and did everything possible to eliminate poverty in the world, i do believe there would be less need to be violent. i often challenge Christians to show me the part of the New Testament where Jesus said fuck the poor. i also explain to them if you actually believe in Jesus, you should be a socialist like he was, but that is usually when their heads will start to spin. i don't ever want to wake up in a fucking utopia. your perfection is not mine. i wrote a poem today that said terrorist attacks are nothing more than programming for news channels. it's so sad to realize how true that really fucking is.
i have no clue what i have going on tomorrow. i figure i'll be on here sometime, probably enjoying some hate mail. good times.
i heard from my former lesbian lover today. she read a poem i wrote about "us" that got published. she said it was true J.J. i decided rather than ask, i took that as a good thing.
i hope everyone had a good day. i will keep Belgium in my mind tonight. i don't really believe that prayer helps in these moments. i mean, look how much the world prays every damn day and look what happens. free will. such a dangerous tool.

i had to get up early this morning. and by early, i mean sometime before 7. i had to drive mom to get her blood work done and some x-rays. i'm simply not a fan of being up that early anymore. i wanted to believe i gave that life up when i left the farm for good. here it is, late afternoon and it fucking feels like it's already time for bed. fuck me runnin'.
i did take along my pen and notebook this morning. i have a tendency to do what i did in high school all the time, write poems in public. i did really enjoy the paranoid looks i got from people when they saw me get out the pen and paper after staring at them for a few seconds. that's good fun. i wrote 3 poems while in the waiting area. the fourth poem came when i was back at the house, on the shitter after breakfast. it figures the best one would come from there. i do my best thinking anymore on the shitter. i did type all four poems up. i think 3 of the 4 are really good.
so the trip for the medical shit, breakfast, typing up poems, feeding the birds and two trips to the shitter were all done by 11 am. that's simply way too much for my liking.
what really sucks now is we are under a flash flood watch. it was dry all morning and my bone spurs never acted up. a little rain and hello agony. good times.
enjoy some music:
the New York Yankees got some great pitching from Tanaka yesterday and some good offense for a change, winning 6-2. Brett Gardner found out during the game that he made the AL All-Star team as an injury replacement. good for him, he deserves it. the Yankees finish off the first half of the season by starting a series tonight in Boston. hopefully they sweep the Red Sox and keep those clowns in last place.
Big Brother last night went as expected. i do like who the new HOHs are, Austin and Vanessa. those were the two people i actually knew of before the show started, via wrestling and poker. hopefully this week is interesting.
Lip Sync Battle was really funny last night. once again, the summer is a good time for some stupid tv that just makes you laugh:
here is some more funny shit:
tonight will be an interesting one. on top of the baseball game, team USA plays Haiti in the Gold Cup. i'm hoping the boys play a much better game than they did against Honduras. on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and a returning Treehouse Masters.
i did watch some of the USA women and their ticker tape parade in NYC this afternoon. everything they get they truly deserve.
i'd like to thank Janne Karlsson for his suggestions for this blog. one thing that i did like right off the bat and i will try to do each Friday is a blast from the past of my poetry. so, today here is an old YouTube video of mine. as i told Janne, my lazy ass needs to do some more of these videos before too long. anyway, hope you enjoy:
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i believe mom and i are going to go out car shopping. most likely scenario is her getting a new one and i get her old Toyota Highlander. it has over 250,000 miles on it but still runs very good. plus, if that does happen, that would be the first vehicle i have owned that was actually made in this century. as i always like to say, it's fun to always fail forward.
hope you have better weather than we do currently. have a great weekend. only fuck the ones that cough. drink a little too much and go leave your neighbor a surprise on their porch.
