 mom had down the wrong time for her physical therapy appointment today. now that i know it is later in the afternoon, i figured i would get the blog done now.

the Yankees won last night over Baltimore, 5-2. they go for the sweep this afternoon.





the New York Rangers rested a ton of guys last night and lost to Montreal, 4-3.

imagine that, a weather forecast that was wrong...

the rain has held off for today so far, so i was able to get the grocery shopping done. since i am in charge of cooking dinner now, i got a few extra things as i like to be able to cook things i actually want to eat. what a fucking concept that is.

here is your video for this day of National Poetry Month:

and here are a couple of links to poems you should be reading:

https://apoemaday.tumblr.com/post/177273802215/daughter

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Voice was just a look back on the season so far. the live shows start next week.

Songland was very good last night. i liked the song H.E.R. chose, but i think the song from the guy would have been better for her.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

Axios was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, WWE Backstage, Dark Side of the Ring and Deadliest Catch.

the grocery store was a little busy today, but nothing outrageous. i was able to find most of the shit on the list. i got a few extras that i want to add to what i'm making this week. speaking of that, i need to get going and make dinner.

and i also need to pick up the trash here and next door, so that's all for me kids.

i hope everyone is doing good. stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

until tomorrow...

well, i kind of expected it...

i said yesterday that i wouldn't be in a good mood when writing this blog today, and i was right. i got up early this morning, got some shit done, had breakfast and was ready from the start to watch Manchester United vs. Chelsea. United needed all 3 points in this game if they wanted any realistic chance to finish in the top 4. United started strong, scored early (birthday boy Juan Mata) and was really playing well for most of the first half. then the usually reliable but now playing himself off the team, David De Gea, misplayed a shot and Chelsea scored right before halftime, 1-1. both teams played like shit in the second half. Chelsea, who is already in 4th, knew a draw only helps them. there is no fucking excuse for United showing no fucking urgency in the second half. the game finished 1-1. United is still in 6th place. if they would have taken care of business today, they would have been tied for fourth with 2 games to play. oh well. i can't wait to see who wants to leave once they realize their pay is being reduced for not making the Champions League next season.

the New York Yankees won yesterday at San Francisco, 6-4. Gary Sanchez hit his first career grand slam. hopefully, the Yankees can get the sweep this afternoon.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs yesterday:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs yesterday:

ROH was pretty good last night.

i thought the New Orleans Saints had a pretty good draft, especially considering the limited amount of draft picks they had to begin with. they got 5 players that i really think are going to be able to help them this upcoming season.

here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Barry, Veep, Billions and The Chi.

i do plan on watching plenty of the NBA and NHL playoffs today.

i probably also need to go to the grocery store to pick up my other prescription that is finally fucking ready. it was supposed to be ready on Friday morning. joy.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping the weather will finally start to be better here soon.

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

por favor, comprenda la urgencia del ahora

when there's just enough rain...

remember when it was in the 70's the other day and i was somewhat happy? fuck, neither do i. there's a fucking freeze warning for tonight and there was just enough drizzle to make my arthritis dance this morning. i'm normally not a complete fucking asshole on most days. today was not one of those fucking days. let's just say when mom and i went to the grocery store to fix their fuck up from the other day, costumer service was not up to what i believe would be the lowest of fucking standard conditions. their incompetence had me boiling at one point. i bit my tongue, as mom paid for the shit we didn't get. thankfully, the cashier when we were leaving was very understanding and cool. i do understand i don't play well with others. mom tells me all the time that's a problem. she doesn't like my answer. she's read the poems. she understands that if the shit hits the fan, i'll have no qualms with taking my own life. part of me truly believes that she hopes to be dead for a long time before that happens. part of me hopes for that as well. but, who are we fucking kidding...

here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:

the New York Yankees won in 10 innings last night, 4-3 at the Angels. Didi Gregorius is on an amazing tear here lately. and it was really nice to see the team come from behind late to force extra innings when it looked like they were going to piss a game away. they play again tonight.

i did watch a little of the NFL draft last night. so far, i'm okay with what the New Orleans Saints have done.

VICE was really good last night.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Major League Wrestling was okay last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was great last night.

Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was really good last night.

here are your highlights from the NHL and NBA playoffs last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i'll probably watch some more of the NFL Draft and more of the NHL and NBA playoffs tonight as well.

the Greatest Royal Rumble yesterday was pretty good, even though it certainly did not live up to all the hype the WWE put into it. the Rumble itself was the best part of the event. Daniel Bryan somehow stayed in that thing for over 76 minutes. not bad for your fourth time wrestling in 3 years. i did like that they had Braun Strowman win the event. i love that Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardy are now tag team champions. i have no clue how they are ever going to get the title off of Brock Lesnar now. all in all, i thought it was pretty cool that the event was on a Friday. and the network stream was really good, so hopefully that opens the WWE to broadcasting more events from foreign countries.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night. below are the links:
Buffalo Tom - Five from Quiet and Peace
Sarah Shook & the Disarmers - A Few 'Years'

i will probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Arsenal. hopefully i will be in a good mood.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

the joy of arthritis

it's just so fucking great to have arthritis really bad in both of my hands and have a computer mouse that has a quick trigger. it's an easy way to get really fucking frustrated quickly. highly recommended if you need a reason to drink or murder.

i was really disappointed with the New York Rangers last night. they started out passive once again, thinking that all they need to do is show up for good things to happen for them on the ice. thank god The King was on fire in the net for the Rangers. he had 21 damn saves in the first period alone. the Rangers got their act together at the start of the second and scored first. sadly, they once again didn't keep their foot on the gas and Ottawa scored to even the game going into the 3rd period. i wasn't in love with the officiating last night and i certainly wasn't in love with the icing that didn't get called on what ended up being the winning goal for Ottawa. the Rangers lost 2-1 and pissed away a game where their goalie was easily the best player on the ice. now, most people believe that was the best Ottawa could play and it's painfully obvious the Rangers can play much, MUCH better. hopefully that happens in Game 2 on Saturday.

the New York Yankees got a great game last night from Tanaka (97 pitches to throw a complete game 3 hit shutout) and just enough offense to beat Chris Sale and Boston 3-0. they start a series back at home tonight against Baltimore.

i was pleased with what the New Orleans Saints did last night in the draft. they had the best cornerback in the draft fall in their laps at #11 and went with their best player available at #32. hopefully they use the rest of the picks in the draft to continue to bolster the shitty defense and maybe get a nice new toy for the offense.

The Big Bang Theory was really funny last night.

Life in Pieces was fucking hilarious once again last night.

Lip Sync Battle was an instant classic last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

rounds 2 and 3 of the NFL Draft are tonight as well as some playoff hockey. i'll probably catch bits and pieces of all of that and the baseball game.

i think my mother is doing better. i wish she was a little more aware at times. i've had a bad back for so damn long now, i'm really cognizant of each move and taking my time. sadly, she isn't. so, watching her almost fall because she doesn't realize where she's sitting on the bed is a little hard for me. and of course, since i was raised by assholes, i usually will have an asshole response, i suppose that's how genetics works.

congrats to former Dayton signee McKinley Wright on choosing Colorado as his new college. i hope you enjoy the weed and the middle of the PAC 12 instead of actually winning a conference like you could have at Dayton. this was my fear of Dayton picking an older coach who looks at the job as a destination. it's not. that's why i loved having a young coach who is hungry to earn his way out of Dayton. you can only do that by winning and doing so on the national stage. instead, the young AD listened to all the old fucks who think that Dayton is just as good nationally as Xavier, Butler and Gonzaga. now, i really hope i am wrong about Anthony Grant and what he will be able to do at Dayton. and i also don't want to be the asshole laughing when an alumni has to be fired from the program. all that being said, the program still doesn't have a fucking point guard. i still know enough about basketball that you have to have a good point guard if you even want to dream about winning games. sadly, the blue hairs that love this program to death only care that one of their own is now running the show.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i will try to be on here before the Rangers play in the afternoon tomorrow.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

so which team screws up the draft the most tonight

sure, i used that title just hoping to get hits. i only care what the New Orleans Saints do in the NFL Draft. and i hope the Ohio State players go to good teams, not in the Saints division.

for National Poetry Month, i give you:

i heard back from Off The Coast on my poetry submission from February. they decided to pass on the 3 i sent. not exactly how i wanted to start off my day. oh well. i sent out 10 poems today; 4 to Hobo Camp Review and 3 each to Dead Snakes and Chiron Review. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

Lucha Underground was really good last night. 2 matches that certainly had enough entertainment to make a great hour of wrestling. NXT was a little different. i was expecting them to show more of the match where Samoa Joe won the NXT title, but oh well. at least they did end the show with Nakamura.

i did enjoy the Table for 3 after NXT with 3 members of the Four Horsemen. that certainly took me back to my youth.

the New York Yankees lost last night 3-2. at least A-Rod looks to be coming out of his slump. thankfully, they are off tonight. they start a series tomorrow in Boston. i almost care.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Big Bang Theory, WWE Smackdown and Lip Sync Battle. i will probably be watching the NFL Draft for most of the night.

i got a great live album for FREE today on NoiseTrade from John Prine. i will post the link in the music section.

that's all for me kids. i've got to take a shower, as tomorrow will be a public Friday for me. i have to take mom to physical therapy in the morning and then she wants to go eat lunch. and then after that, she scheduled the car to go in to get the oil changed. supposedly, while that is being done, we're going to look at new vehicles. i'll believe it when i see it.

so i should be on here tomorrow late afternoon/early evening.

enjoy your draft night. may your favorite team get someone you actually know of.

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

batten down the hatches

before the floods come, here are your daily links for national poetry month:

http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2014/04/spencer_madsen.html
http://www.newstatesman.com/culture/2014/04/clive-james-poetry-family-and-illness-i-m-bit-terrified-really-mark-end?title&text

i have prepared myself for a week of pain as it is supposed to rain every single fucking day this week. can't wait to see what the grass looks like after this crazy week.

i typed up the 2 poems i wrote over the weekend. i think they are pretty good. i sent out my last submission of this month today by sending 5 poems out to Nerve Cowboy. that was a fun line to wait in at the post office. the hot brunette with the nice ass and wedding ring in front of me and the 3 old ladies bitching about not enough places to play bingo behind me. those poems will be coming soon i imagine. when i hear back from Nerve Cowboy, i'll pass along the verdict.

well, i made it through most of the Sunday night shows last night. Total Divas got left out as sleep won. but, i'll catch that a little later today. Nurse Jackie was really good once again. the final song in Californication blew me away. i was able to find that on iTunes. Silicon Valley and Veep were also very funny. but, the winner of the night goes to Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. that was crazy good for a first episode. i can't recommend the show enough. MUST WATCH, it's that good. i'm going to try to make my mother watch it here in a bit.

thankfully, that show ended in time for me to watch the final outs of the Yankees winning 3-2 last night with just 3 hits. Tanaka was "bad" for him, which really made me laugh. 6 1/3 with 2 runs and 4 walks and 11 strikeouts. god, i wish they could all be that "bad". if he continues to get better this season, he's going to be rewriting record books. another series win, which is how you have good seasons. they are off tonight and then welcome the Mariners to town. the return of Cano. i'll be interested to see how the crowd reacts to him.

as for tonight, the usual struggle between The Voice and Monday Night Raw. also, some playoff hockey and playoff basketball that will manage to creep in as well. plus, with the weather being fucking crazy at the moment, probably some of The Weather Channel as well. of course, all of that depends if the satellite feed stays strong. it has a tendency to crap out when the weather gets really bad. could be a night of writing by candlelight, who knows.

that's all for today folks. you'll notice some "new" music down below. i do believe it is official, i have lost my mind. i'll be on here tomorrow sometime in the afternoon or early evening.

peace and chicken grease.
