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...

it never fucking fails. a Saturday morning where i feel like i could actually get some decent fucking sleep for a change. sure enough, 9 in the morning, i wake up to the sounds of a fucking lawnmower. god, how i miss these days on the fucking farm where humanity was far enough away i never had to hear them.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.
Los Espookys was excellent last night.
at the Women's World Cup, USWNT defeated France yesterday 2-1. this morning, the Netherlands defeated Italy, 2-0. Germany takes on Sweden here in a little bit.
in the Gold Cup tonight, Haiti takes on Canada and Mexico plays Costa Rica.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Ramy Youssef: Feelings.
the New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox later today in London. with how the stadium looks, i'm expecting a ton of home runs the next two days.
i do plan on watching the AEW event tonight, Fyter Fest, mostly to see what should be one of the most violent wrestling matches in recent history, Jon Moxley vs. Joey Janela.
considering the Yankees play in the morning tomorrow, i will probably be on here after that game is over.
i hope everyone has an amazing Saturday. call if you need bail money.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
i woke up this morning to a fresh coating of ice and snow. it was fucking cold walking out to get the paper while still in my shorts. i guess it really is winter now.
the New York Rangers got outplayed last night by Dallas by a damn mile. somehow, the Rangers backup goalie kept them in the game and the team managed to score late to send the game into OT. there was no score in OT and eventually Dallas won in the shootout. the 2-1 loss may end up being the point that helps them make the playoffs at the end of the season. even if the most positive Rangers fan knows they didn't deserve it.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night. i'm hoping that Cesaro opened Vince's eyes last night at just how good he could be if they would give him a push.
Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution was pretty good last night. it really showed just how much politics will fuck up anything.
The Voice was excellent last night. i think i know at least two of the people that will be in the finals. i have no damn clue who gets the last two spots.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice and Drop the Mic. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i might try to do the blog in the morning tomorrow as i have to drive mom down to her financial planner in the afternoon. and then i think she wants to do some shopping south of town. so, that probably means i won't be home until well after dark.
as for now, i have to get the fucking trash picked up. i might as well get layered up. the fucking wind is biting today.
el halcón siempre te conseguirá

i have my last load of laundry in the dryer. i actually decided to wash my sheets today. i think maybe some clean bedding will allow me to sleep for more than 45 minutes straight. at least that's the fucking hope.
i really want to thank everyone who took the time to listen to my interview with Marcia Epstein. i really do appreciate it. and thank you for all the feedback. feel free to share the interview with anyone and everyone. http://lawrencehits.com/wp/blog/podcast/j-j-campbell-poet/
the season finale of American Horror Story was excellent last night. just the right amount of blood and shock.
Drop the Mic was really good last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was fucking fantastic last night.
i only really liked two performances on The Voice last night. thankfully, Adam took those 2 to the live shows.
Smackdown was great last night. the invasion from Raw was damn near perfect. Survivor Series on Sunday should be amazing.
205 Live was pretty good as well last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Total Divas and the season finale of You're the Worst. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers play tonight in Chicago. hopefully they can keep the winning streak going.
i believe mom wants to go out shopping tomorrow, so i'll probably be on here after that. it will hopefully be before the Dayton Flyers pay Hofstra in Charleston, South Carolina.
i have a bed to go make.
buenas noches mis amigos
