and now snow...

 it snowed overnight here. nothing too bad, but i'm guessing it is a precursor of what is to come this weekend. i wrote 3 poems last night. 1 for the book and 2 for what i guess i am calling the general submissions folder. if i can keep this going, i might actually meet my goal of having this book ready to send to the publisher by late spring/early summer.

team USA defeated Switzerland yesterday at the World Juniors, 7-2. they will play Czechia on Saturday, who knocked out Canada last night for the second year in a row.

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Boston, 2-1.

Notre Dame defeated Georgia, 23-10, to advance to the college football playoffs seminfinals.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Inside the NFL.

i have a doctor's appointment this afternoon. after that, i need to go to the grocery store to pick up my prescription and get whatever is on the list.

i will most likely be on here tomorrow in the morning. the Dayton Flyers play on the road tomorrow at noon.

i know we're supposed to have a big winter storm coming through on Sunday night. if that does happen, i'm guessing the grocery store will be a fresh slice of hell today.

that's all for me today kids...

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

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

the joys of a pinched nerve in the neck...

i started my physical therapy today. i thought it was going to be for the carpal tunnel. of course, it wasn't. it was for the pinched nerve in my neck. they are hoping they can resolve that and that will solve the problems in my hand. that's a hail mary at best i believe. but, i go twice a week for the next 3 weeks. i'm hoping at the very least i no longer have any pain in my neck or shooting pains running down my right arm.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

The Deuce was fucking amazing last night. the series finale is next week.

The Voice was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Total Divas, Mr. Mercedes, Mayans M.C. and The Jim Jefferies Show.

the New York Rangers will look to end their losing streak tonight against the Coyotes. hopefully, they will find a way to get a win.

the NBA season starts tonight. i'll probably watch a little of the late game, Lakers vs. Clippers.

i believe my sister is coming down tonight so she'll be here in the morning to take me to the hospital to have my upper GI looked at. i'm hoping they don't find anything but i'm pretty sure my luck with my health has run the fuck out. she'll have to drive me home since i will be knocked out for the procedure. i'm really hoping they give me the good shit.

i will do a blog after i get home and am somewhat coherent. it's going to be interesting, especially since i have a physical therapy session on Thursday. joy.

that's all for me kids, i still have trash to pick up.

until tomorrow, whenever that may be.

my brain is somewhere around 25, my body is nearing death...

i wanted to write this blog in the morning, but of course, between arthritis, apathy and just pure fucking pain, i didn't get out of bed until 10. that left really no time since i had to get ready to take mom to her doctor's appointment. that appointment is about a 45 minute drive. joy. and of course, between the tornado damage and construction, everything around here is a clusterfuck. thankfully, i took the right back roads and got her down there on time.

i don't think she met any doctors today, more like a nurse practitioner. this one was like a dream woman, tattoos everywhere and stunning, i mean fucking stunning eyes. i was hoping she was going to pick up on the vibe i was putting out. of course, that never happened. the appointment went really well. after that, mom wanted to go to lunch at Rusty Bucket. they were a little crowded, but not too bad. the food was excellent as always. the drive home was a bit of a drag, mostly because of fucking horrible drivers and the heat. of course, now i feel it is raining again.

i got home in time to watch the rest of the Yankees game and some of the Women's World Cup.

the Yankees won last night over the Rays, 6-3. this afternoon, they completed the sweep, defeating Tampa Bay 12-1. that victory was CC's 250th of his career. it also means the Yankees are 3 1/2 games up in the division now. they start a series with Houston tomorrow night.

the USMNT won last night, 4-0 over Guyana. when it was only 1-0 at halftime, i was not happy. i was a little more pleased by the end of the game.

Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Songland was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

here are your scores from the Women's World Cup:
England defeated Japan 2-0 and Scotland vs. Argentina finished 3-3.

in the Gold Cup last night, Panama defeated Trinidad & Tobago 2-0. tonight, Cuba takes on Martinique and Canada plays Mexico.

i hope everyone had a good Juneteenth. if you don't know what that is, please educate yourself and stop being fucking stupid.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank. thankfully, mom doesn't have anyplace for me to take her tomorrow.

another dreary day, with sprinkles...

my Wednesday nights are turning into these marathon insomnia battles. i'm not sure if anyone is winning. but, i know not falling asleep until 5:30 in the morning is eventually going to send me to an early grave. not that that is something i am fucking dreading, mind you.

the New York Yankees got off to a hot start last night (thank you Aaron Judge) and defeated Oakland 7-2 to win the American League wild card. the Yankees will now play Boston for the first time in the playoffs since 2004. i would love to see them eliminate the Red Sox.

NXT was really good last night.

205 Live was good last night.

the Mae Young Classic was fucking spectacular last night.

Total Divas was pretty good last night.

Lucha Underground was good last night.

Mr. Mercedes was a great mind fuck last night.

American Horror Story was really good last night. i can't wait to see where the fuck this is going now.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon and Will & Grace.

i did listen to episode 206 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can find that by going here:

the New York Rangers play their home opener tonight against Nashville. i don't know what to expect from the Rangers this season. i do think they will be a hard working team, but i'm not exactly counting on a ton of victories. i really hope they prove me wrong.

i will probably flip between that, some baseball and maybe some football as well (Colts vs. Patriots).

i took mom to talk to the pharmacist at the grocery today. basically, her old employer hasn't taken her off of her old insurance. she hasn't paid for it since she started on Medicare. so, the pharmacist warned us that don't be surprised if they come back and seek money for their mistake. at least all the pills now will be billed to Medicare.

the meeting with the landscaper went well last night. i'm really looking forward to see what he's going to do with the yard. it should look completely different once it's done.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the grocery store.

that's all for me kids.

before i get to the arthritis in my knee going nuts as i was biting into a sandwich, a little serious note i need to pass along.

on the right hand side of the blog, you may have noticed the picture i put up that is a direct link to Debbie Kirk's fundraising campaign on GoFundMe. this is to get her some money for her fight against breast cancer. i urge everyone to check it out, donate if you can, and pass it along to everyone you know. many thanks for all of you that do this. here is a link to the fundraiser:
https://www.gofundme.com/5m0wfqg

after mom and i got the car back from the mechanic, we went out lunch. just as i was biting into my bacon cheeseburger at Red Robin, my left knee started throbbing. 2 minutes later, the televisions went out and i knew exactly what was coming. it started to really fucking pour. that exact moment, i should have gone to the bar and got a shot or something. thankfully, the rain didn't last long, but the fucking drizzle did. we had to go to the grocery store after that. mom had pills to pick up (9 prescriptions) and we were out of sweetener for the morning coffee. that was all done pretty quickly. thankfully, the drizzle had stopped on our way home. of course, it's supposed to rain more tonight.

the New York Yankees won last night, 6-5 in 10 innings over Houston. the Yankees had no business winning the game as they had 5 fucking errors in the game. but, i'll gladly take it. the Yankees can win the series as it concludes tonight.

Smackdown was pretty good last night.

205 Live was excellent last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

the season finale (and hopefully not the series finale) of The Chris Gethard Show was excellent last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Being Serena. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final is tonight. i'm rooting for Las Vegas in this series. hopefully they will go up 2-0 tonight on Washington.

i will be on here tomorrow after i get home from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment. hopefully, i will have some end of the month poems to type up.

that's all for me kids.

hard to believe it's been a year...

hard to believe it's been a year since Big Steve left this world...

today went much faster at the hospital than the first time i had to take mom there for her pre-operational testing. i'm really hoping the next few weeks go smoothly.

the grocery store today was rather interesting. i wasn't sure if people were noticing i got a haircut or were wondering why the fuck my goatee is that long. plenty of eyes and all of them looked away when i caught them. sad world.

The Big Bang Theory was excellent last night. i certainly didn't expect that ending.

Life in Pieces was pretty fucking funny last night as well. yet another ending i didn't see coming.

Lip Sync Battle was pretty good last night.

Vice News Tonight had another excellent week of shows.

the New York Yankees were facing a pitcher last night who owns them. when they were trailing 3-1 in the 9th and weren't facing that pitcher any longer, i felt they had a chance. they ended up having the tying run thrown out at home to end the game with a 3-2 loss. file that one under shit happens. hopefully they will get a win tonight.

i believe my sister is coming down for the weekend. i know mom wants us to do some things around the house before she has her surgery.

the weather is starting to warm up here and hopefully, we don't have any fucking rain for a few days. i would enjoy at least one weekend every now and then where i'm not consumed with pain.

that's all for me kids. i hope everyone has a great weekend. remember, only fuck the ones that cough.

tossing and turning all night long

right before i pulled the shades down last night, i saw this cat go over and start sniffing by the sewer. i look at cats now as ghosts. i used to have so many and damn near every cat i see i can see something that reminds me of one of the farm cats. not sure if that was why i was tossing and turning all night long, but it's as good a reason as any.

mom and i went to the grocery store this morning. we left sometime after noon. that should explain everything.

the New York Yankees lost 5-3 last night. hopefully they will lose again this afternoon, although i truly fucking hate losing to the Red Sox.

NJPW was excellent last night. 3 title matches from back in September of 2015. a great hour of wrestling.

Treehouse Masters was pretty cool last night. i think if i ever come back for another life, all i want is a treehouse that gets me completely off the grid; a pool table and a little place to cook food from the solar garden below.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Straight Outta Compton and ROH.

Manchester United played their first preseason game today. judging from everything i've read, things went well.

not sure if it's supposed to rain today or not. my body is saying yes you fucker, it's going to rain cats and dogs. the sky of course is sunny. this is what misery is like.

i need to go get some lunch and then maybe do a little writing.

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