i guess with death always in the news and certainly on my mind the last few days, today i reached my breaking point. next thing i knew, i was down one rabbit hole on YouTube and 3 hours had passed. so yeah, i'm not sure what's going to kick me out of this depression. i may try doing a recording this weekend, just for shits and giggles, to see how it comes out. i know i have a few poems in mind for my next SoundCloud recording.
the freeze warning starts tonight at midnight. nothing like listening to the furnace run all night in May. i think we're supposed to get down to the low 20's. fuck me.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Shelter in Place with Shane Smith was excellent last night.
No Mercy, No Malice with Professor Scott Galloway was great last night. i highly recommend that everyone watches it. below is the first episode.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
Total Bellas was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Betty. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i did watch some of the NFL schedule release last night. i like the New Orleans Saints schedule for the most part, other than one horrible road swing in the second half of the season. playing the Vikings in New Orleans on Christmas will be rather interesting.
all the songs in the music section today are from Belly Up Live. if you love live music, definitely check them out: http://bellyuplive.com/
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
hopefully i will be in a better mood, but don't get your hopes up.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands...
until tomorrow...

well, after a mere 3 hours of sleep last night, i decided i had to go to the doctor. thankfully, i was able to get an appointment this morning. i thought it was going to be with one of the nurse practitioners in his practice. little did i know, it was with him. we talked about my liver some. he said while my levels were elevated, they weren't high enough to be of much concern. so guess who is going back to drinking? he offered me either pills or shots for my cold. i said since they were taking blood from me today anyway, might as well give me the shots. so his assistant, the one who looks like a crush i had in my early teens, gave me two shots; an antibiotic and a steroid. the doctor said that should do the trick. hopefully, he is right.
after i got home, i had to take mom to go vote. after that, we went to the post office. amazingly, the mail got delivered here before fucking noon.
i figure the drugs they put me are going to make me tired soon. or at least i hope.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no clue which two are going to be eliminated tonight.
Monday Night Raw was pretty 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 Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch, The Jim Jefferies Show and The Chris Gethard Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Yankees start a series at home against Boston tonight. the Yankees are 1 game out of first place in the division. hopefully they can keep the winning streak going.
i'll probably watch a little of the NBA playoffs tonight as well.
i still have the trash to pick up here and next door.
i do feel a little better than i have. i'm still coughing a bit, but not nearly as bad as it was this morning.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.
that's all for me kids.
con suerte dormiré más de unas pocas horas esta noche

first, a little poetry news to get out of the way. i heard back from Cami at Easy Street on my poetry submission from last month. she decided to pass on the poems i sent. so with those 5 and the 5 i wrote the other day, some lucky soul is going to get some poems in the next few days.
i wasn't particularly pleased last night when the Yankees closer blew a 4-1 lead in the 9th inning. and i certainly wasn't happy when i was still watching the game at 2 in the morning. thankfully, the Yankees won 5-4 in 18 innings early this morning to sweep the Cubs. the Yankees start a series in Cincinnati tonight.
Silicon Valley was great last night.
Veep was fucking hilarious last night.
Last Week Tonight was excellent as always.
Guerrilla was very good last night. the finale next week should be very interesting.
the season finale of Billions was damn near perfect last night. and the ending certainly sets up the next season.
Lip Sync Battle was on MTV last night, right before the Movie Awards, which i never bother to watch. i had no damn clue of the two "stars" on the show, but it was much more entertaining than i thought it was going to be.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Gotham. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i actually saw a hummingbird using the feeder i put out last week earlier today. i'm hoping one of these days i'm going to get video of it.
the first part of the Mother's Day gifts i got for mom came today. thanks to the postal service for cramming it in the mailbox. the second part is due on Wednesday. if they try to cram that in the mailbox, you'll be hearing about some odd violence on the national news.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.

first off, happy mother's day to all the mothers out there. i thought i was being the good son this morning and asked my mother what she wanted for breakfast. i said i would cook whatever she wanted. she handed me a gift card to McDonald's and told me to get her some food from there. apparently, she's not impressed with my ability to make scrambled eggs and toast. oh well.
i was pretty happy i picked the Kentucky Derby winner correctly yesterday. of course, it's not that hard to pick the favorite and be correct.
we left after the race to take my sister back to Columbus. she wanted to go to Target, which was along the way, so i said sure. i've learned over the years to just say yes and save the bitching for later. she found what she wanted and then we decided to go out for dinner, as mom was feeling hungry. we decided to try a place we hadn't been to before, Firehouse Subs. i thought it was pretty good. sadly, mom ended up not liking it so much, so that's always fun. we made it to Columbus and back before Saturday Night Live started, so i was pretty happy with that.
the New York Yankees pounded Boston yesterday, 8-2. holy shit, 2 wins in a row and a series win. and given the Manchester United win, i really enjoyed those two victory beers last night. the Yankees go for the sweep tonight.
Saturday Night Live was pretty fucking funny last night. Austin City Limits had two of my favorites on, Gary Clark Jr. and Courtney Barnett. and ROH was a clip show getting everyone ready for their ppv tonight with NJPW. the best part of that was, since Colt Cabana is facing Jay Lethal for the title tonight, they showed an old match of Cabana vs. CM Punk. i always enjoy watching my 3rd favorite wrestler of all-time.
mom really liked what i got her for Mother's Day. i got her a Marvin the Martian wind chime. i told her i thought she could hang it in her room and then when she had the windows open she could hear the chimes. she liked that idea, so now you know who gets to hang it for her. and since she was feeling a little sick this morning, i quickly made her a mix CD to try to lift her mood. she's playing it now, so that's a good sign.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Silicon Valley, Veep, Last Week Tonight, House of Lies and Penny Dreadful.
i did watch Manchester Shitty and Arsenal play today. a 2-2 draw. so, holy shit, Manchester United controls its own destiny for making the top 4 now. 2 wins in the last 2 games (West Ham and Bournemouth) and they will finish at least in 4th. crazy to think that's even possible given how bad United has played for most of the season. the best thought though is knowing if it does happen, Shitty finishes in 5th and next season it will be a joy to watch Pep Guardiola managing in the Europa League.
i listened to the latest Sam Roberts' Show podcast today with Tom Shillue.
amazingly, it was supposed to rain all yesterday. we didn't get a drop. it was supposed to be sunny all day today and it has looked like it is going to rain for the last three hours. the bones are telling me it's getting close. joy.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hopefully the rest of your Sunday is even better.
