not the day i was expecting...

 so, i thought i was going to have this Monday where i was going to try to squeeze everything in. turns out, that wasn't the case. mom wasn't feeling good when i woke her up this morning. so, she cancelled her physical therapy appointment at noon. and then i thought she had an appointment to get the battery on her iPhone changed. but, i guess she thought she made the appointment for today but actually made it for tomorrow and they don't have the batteries in stock. so, she cancelled that as i have an eye doctor's appointment tomorrow. so, i was able to get to the bank without feeling rushed at all. and i got in a decent nap this afternoon.


the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Colorado, 8-7, in 11 innings. they start a series tonight at the Angels.







Mexico won the Gold Cup yesterday, defeating Panama 1-0.



The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.


i did listen to episode 456 of Notsam Wrestling this afternoon, you can hear that by going here:




i guess we are under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for tonight. joy.


i should be on here tomorrow before i go to my eye doctor's appointment.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.


until tomorrow kids...

and now more of the haze...

 i guess the smoke from the Canadian wildfires is back around for us. joy. mom wanted to make French Toast this morning to use up the rest of this French bread i got at Kroger. it was really good. plus, we got 3 different meals out of this French bread. i think that was good use of $1.


the New York Yankees won last night at Colorado, 6-3. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.






AEW Collision and AEW Battle of the Belts 7 were both good last night.






i did watch some of the MLS last night.






enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be The Righteous Gemstones.


the Gold Cup final is tonight between Mexico and Panama. i might watch some of that, maybe.



i did see that ETH stripped Harry Maguire of the captaincy today. hopefully, he will be on a different team this upcoming season.



i'm hoping to write some poems this afternoon.


otherwise, i am hoping for a quiet, relaxing day. (i know, i'm laughing as well)


mom has physical therapy at noon tomorrow and then an appointment to get the battery on her phone changed after that. so, i'm guessing i will be on here in the late afternoon tomorrow.


i did watch some of the Wimbledon men's final this morning. of course, i had a $2 bet on the wrong person.



i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.


until tomorrow kids...

yet another humid day...

 i had to go to Rite Aid this morning to pick up some prescriptions. it is really humid today. you know, the air you can wear type shit. so, i fully expect we'll have some thunderstorms this evening.


so, the USMNT lost last night to Panama on penalty kicks. the one thing that frustrates me the most about the USMNT is they are never clinical with the chances they create for themselves. they could have scored 20 seconds into the game last night. instead, it goes off the post. and honestly, it is those few inches where this whole program needs to get better. 








Panama will now play Mexico on Sunday for the Gold Cup.


AEW Dynamite was pretty damn good last night.






Mayans M.C. last night was excellent. the series finale is next week.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be two episodes of What We Do in the Shadows.


i will hopefully get some poems written while mom is in physical therapy today.


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


i hope everyone has a great day.

the beauty of always being in pain...

 sometimes you get so fucking used to being in pain, that the aches and whatever just become normal. it is like background noise. i was doing the dishes last night and took a step and my knee gave out. oh well, i still had bowls and plates to clean. my back gave out today while grocery shopping. oh well, still got 3 things on the list. i know in the grand scheme of things, this all means i'll probably be dead in a few years. oh well, i feel like i am getting to the point where i have squeezed all the marrow out of this life. of course, knowing my luck, i still have a good 30 or 40 years to go before i get lucky enough to die. and if you think i'm saying lucky is wrong, you obviously have no fucking clue what i have gone through in 47 years of life.


the National League won the All Star game last night for the first time since 2012, 3-2. i didn't watch much of the game.




NXT was pretty good last night.











Dark Side of the Ring was excellent last night. 


Deadliest Catch was very good last night.


i did watch Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge today on Peacock. it was pretty good.



so, when i got home today, the DIRECTV was fucked up. that took about 20 minutes of troubleshooting to get that working again. as i muttered to my mother, if it ain't one thing, it's another fucking thing.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Mayans M.C.


the USMNT takes on Panama tonight in the Gold Cup semifinals.




Manchester United won today in Norway against Leeds, 2-0. that's a decent start to the preseason.







i will probably catch some of the MLS games tonight as well.


i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.


i need to get going on dinner, so that is all for me kids...


until tomorrow...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.

stay off the fucking streets.

i am tired...

 you ever have those moments where the fog never lifts and you realize you haven't been able to get really good sleep for about 30 years now. welcome to my world.


the New York Yankees pissed away the lead yesterday against the Cubs and lost, 7-4. they fired their hitting coach after the game. i wish they would fire a few more coaches and players... it is now the All-Star break. the Yankees will be off until July 14th when they play at Colorado.




the USWNT defeated Wales yesterday, 2-0. they are now off to New Zealand for the Women's World Cup.








the USMNT defeated Canada in a crazy ass game last night. the match finished 2-2 after the 30 minutes of extra time. then the USA won the penalty shootout 3-2. they will play Panama in the semifinals. Mexico will play Jamaica in the other semifinal. 






The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw. i doubt will watch much of the home run derby tonight.


i will hopefully get a few poems written today while mom is in physical therapy.

up way too early on a Sunday...

 when i got up at 7:35 this morning, i said to myself, why the fuck am i up this early? i'm guessing my body is just so used to less than 5 hours of sleep, it doesn't remember how to sleep longer than that. joy.


the New York Yankees won yesterday against the Cubs, 6-3.today is the last game before the All-Star break.







i did watch some of the Gold Cup last night. Panama and Mexico both advanced. today, Guatemala and Jamaica face off before the USA plays Canada. here are some highlights from yesterday.

of course, more rain...

 i didn't mind the rain when i lived on the farm. i knew we needed it for the crops. but, i'm not on the farm now. and to wake up to rain for like the 3rd day in a row sucks. i know some asshole out there is like think of the alternative. guess what, i have been since i was 8 years old.


the New York Yankees lost last night at home to the Cubs, 3-0. i guess the only time they can win now is when their pitchers are perfect.






WWE Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.










AEW Rampage was good last night.





the season finale of Painting with John was excellent last night.



enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.


so, i woke up this morning to the news that David de Gea was leaving Manchester United after 12 years. i wasn't surprised by this, but i am really disappointed that he never got the sendoff he deserved after all these years at the club. 






the Gold Cup starts back up today. i'll probably watch that and some of the MLS games.


i know mom wants pizza today. hopefully, they will get my order right this time.


i have a couple of poems swimming in my head. hopefully, those will come to shore later today.


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


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

been a productive few days i suppose...

 since we don't really do much for the 4th of July, i did my laundry yesterday, including my bedding. mom got me some funky sheets with skulls on them, so i decided it was time to put those on. and mom liked the holiday meal i put together. double cheeseburgers with coleslaw, mac salad and her favorite potato salad. and i guess everyone around here must have used up their fireworks before the 4th as there wasn't much last night, thankfully. 


the New York Yankees won yesterday at home against Baltimore, 8-4. hopefully, they will win again tonight.







i did watch a good portion of El Trafico last night. it is one of the best rivalries in the MLS.



here are the highlights from some other MLS games last night.





i did watch some of the Gold Cup last night as well. the quarterfinals are now set.





on Saturday, Panama plays Qatar and Mexico plays Costa Rica. On Sunday, USA will play Canada and Guatemala will take on Jamaica.


NXT was pretty good last night.








Deadliest Catch was good last night as well.



enjoy some music:

i did watch the Hot Dog eating contest yesterday. i thought at first it was going to be rained out, but it just went on later in the day.


i did see that Manchester United signed Mason Mount today from Chelsea.




grocery shopping went ok today. it was hotter than hell today, so i figured people would be in shitty moods. and i was right.


i need to get going on dinner and picking up the trash, etc.


i am going to try to be on here in the morning tomorrow before mom has physical therapy.

Happy 4th of July...

 so, first off, i want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.




i was hoping to get up earlier today, but apparently the shower i took at 2 in the morning actually did the trick. i didn't get up until 10 this morning. i know i got at least 6 solid hours of sleep. fuck, that might as well be a coma for me.


the New York Yankees won last night at home against Baltimore, 6-3. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.







Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.











enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Deadliest Catch.


the only tradition i truly have on today is watching the hot dog eating contest. it is currently in a lightning delay.


i will probably watch plenty of the MLS today as well as the Gold Cup.


i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.


i hope everyone has a great holiday. stay safe, have fun, and please, stop fucking shooting each other.

it all goes well until the back says hold my beer...

 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.
