yesterday was one of those days where i think i just about ran the whole fucking gamut of emotions. but, before we get on that damn rollercoaster, a little poetry news first.
i sent out 8 poems today. 5 to Synchronized Chaos and 3 to Terror House Magazine. when i hear back from these places, i will pass along the verdicts.
the Yankees defeated the Tigers yesterday, 5-4 in 10 innings. the Yankees had a perfect 6-0 homestand. they are off tonight and start a series in Minnesota tomorrow night.
the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Tampa, 3-2. they fell into their old traps once again. they pissed away a 2-0 lead. they were badly outshot and couldn't stay out of the damn penalty box. that being said, Tampa scored the winning goal with 41 seconds left. i hope the Rangers bounce back to win Tuesday night and take a 3-1 lead back to MSG.
the USMNT had a 0-0 draw with Uruguay yesterday. as much as i would have loved a victory, at least they didn't lose 3-0 to them like Mexico did.
here are your highlights from Game 2 of the NBA Finals last night.
VICE was very good last night.
The Man Who Fell To Earth was excellent last night.
Ziwe was hilarious last night.
Gaslit was very good last night.
Barry was good last night. the season finale is next week.
The Baby was really good last night. that series finale is next week.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
WWE Hell in a Cell was crazy last night. mad respect to Cody Rhodes for wrestling with a totally fucking creepy looking pulled pectoral muscle last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw, two episodes of Miz & Mrs and Don't Forget the Lyrics.
i did listen to episode 398 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
and that is after writing 3 poems that came out of nowhere and before actually attempting to go to bed. i am pretty sure where my next round of poetry submissions are going to. that will be tomorrow.
the Yankees defeated the Tigers yesterday, 3-0. they go for the sweep here in a little bit.

the Rangers play Game 3 this afternoon down in Tampa against the Lightning. i would love for the Rangers to win today and be just one win away from the Stanley Cup Final.
the USMNT takes on Uruguay today in a friendly. this should be a really stiff test and a good preview for the World Cup.
Game 2 of the NBA Finals is tonight.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the poems sent out.

my left knee has been killing me all day long. the joys of arthritis. fuck.
the New Orleans Saints defeated Carolina yesterday, 27-24. i thought the offense did pretty well given the number of wide receivers that are injured. the defense did just enough to win.
WWE Hell in a Cell was pretty good last night. much as i expected, i really thought the match between Sasha and Bayley stole the show.
The Undoing was very good last night. i'm hooked already.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
Our Cartoon President was hilarious last night.
The Good Lord Bird was great last night.
The Comedy Store was excellent last night. the finale is next week.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
Seduced: Inside The NXIVM Cult was pretty good last night.

i guess the Dodgers are 1 win away from ending their World Series drought. i almost care.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. mom's been on the phone all day, so i'm guessing i might have places to take her. i know she talked to one place about her shingles shot that she needs to get. i know i have to take her to her foot doctor on Thursday. she wants to go to Target afterwards and look at phones and some other shit.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.

i'm still working on a huge mug of coffee this morning. i didn't get to sleep until 5 this morning. ah, the joys of a poet's life on the weekend. where watching porn is actually "research" and sleep is an option that no one ever fucking needs. i guess Wild Turkey had more of a say in the night than i even thought.
Manchester United played a lifeless 0-0 draw yesterday against Chelsea. the optimist in me could say well, at least they didn't lose at home or the defense played good enough for a clean sheet finally. but, i'm not a fucking optimist.
Ohio State whipped Nebraska yesterday, 52-17. considering Nebraska scored first and made it look really easy, i was pleased with how the defense stepped up over the course of the game. next up for Ohio State is a trip to Penn State next Saturday night.
i did watch a good portion of Indiana upsetting Penn State in OT yesterday. i guess someone got caught looking ahead.
i also caught the last half inning of the World Series last night. that was fucking crazy.
ROH was excellent last night.
Saturday Night Live was pretty funny last night.
Austin City Limits had Rufus Wainwright on last night. it was excellent.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Our Cartoon President, The Good Lord Bird, The Comedy Store, Desus & Mero, The Undoing, Last Week Tonight and Seduced: Inside The NXIVM Cult. i'll be watching WWE Hell in a Cell for most of the evening.
the New Orleans Saints play at home today against the Panthers. New Orleans is missing a ton of players today between injuries and COVID-19. i'm bracing for the worst today.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping for the early afternoon, but given how the weather is supposed to be around here, your guess is as good as mine.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. hope your Sunday is even better.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.

i woke up this morning with that all too common ache in my bones. i knew rain was in the area. the "experts" said there are supposed to be some showers in the afternoon. i'll probably be beyond miserable by then.
Ohio State played down to the competition yesterday and won 24-20 over Northwestern. i honestly think the offense is beyond fucking lost at this point. and you can tell the defense is at the point where they are wondering when the fuck the offense is going to do something to pick them up. they will have to be better next week if they think they are going to beat Nebraska.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.
ROH was really good last night.
the Bill Murray: Mark Twain Prize special last night was great. and also, it is well deserved.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of The Strain, Westworld, Divorce, Insecure, Last Week Tonight, Shameless and Masters of Sex.
i'll be watching WWE Hell in a Cell for most of the evening. no matter how bad Monday Night Raw has been, this, at least on paper, has everything you need to be a great ppv.
the Sacramento Kings won last night, 106-103 over the Timberwolves. they are now 2-1 on the season. i'm hoping against hope that they can keep it up.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Tampa Bay. hopefully the boys can start a new winning streak tonight.
congratulations to my sister on passing her test this morning. she's now a step closer to getting a job she might actually enjoy.
the New Orleans Saints play at home today against Seattle. hopefully the Saints can get a victory today. i certainly could use a drink.
i hope everyone had an excellent Saturday. hopefully your Sunday will be even better.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
my mother told me this morning that she had heard that they were sending my uncle home today from the hospital. she was pretty surprised as they still don't know what the fuck he really has. i told her i'd be willing to bet that they have reached the limit his insurance will pay for and they are sending him home instead of not getting paid to have him there. and it's now after 4 and he's still not home. mom went to the hospital about 30 minutes or so ago. i'm sure she'll come home bitching about something the dumb fucks at the hospital did. good times.
if you weren't a fan of either Manchester club yesterday, the Manchester derby was fucking boring as hell. as an avid supporter of Manchester United, it was fucking painful to watch. a 0-0 draw when a victory would have put United at the top of the league was brutal to watch. there was probably only a couple instances that i thought United might actually score. the most action was watching Wayne Rooney get staples in his head to stop some bleeding. they next play Middlesbrough in a couple of days in League Cup play.
the New York Rangers started off slow last night but once they got rolling, they were a snowball racing downhill. the first goal was a beauty:
and after that, the goals kept coming for a 4-1 win. that's a good way to get the shitty taste from Philly out of your mouth. they are off until Friday. here are the game highlights:
the New Orleans Saints built a 27-0 lead yesterday. i then watched them try to piss that lead away. thankfully, they did just enough to win, 27-21. at least that gets them out of last place in the division.
i am leading in all 3 of my fantasy football matchups. all of my opponents have players going tonight, as do i. my picks were finally really good. if Arizona wins tonight, i'll go 11-3 for this week. that's more like it.
wrestling last night was probably as good as i could have hoped for. i was stunned at the beginning of the show:
i was thrilled with how easy Alberto beat John Cena. now, i'm really hoping the rumors are true and Cena is taking a few months off. both Hell in a Cell matches were excellent. i enjoyed Roman Reigns vs. Bray Wyatt and thought it really did a good job of showing the potential that Roman really has:
the match between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker felt like it was from an era sadly gone forever. blood everywhere, low blows, the ring ripped apart, tables and chairs, it was a fucking great way to end a long feud:
and it wouldn't be the WWE without the best thing going today, The New Day:
after Hell in a Cell they showed the first episode to Breaking Ground. i am definitely going to be a fan of this show. i love all the behind the scenes shit i can see.
Homeland was great last night. it had another holy shit ending that just added another level of mindfuck to this season. The Affair was excellent as always. i really appreciate the subtle differences in the storytelling. and next week certainly looks like it's going to be really good.
ok kids, enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
clusterfuck Monday brings us the crowded as hell DVR. on that tonight will be The Voice, The Big Bang Theory and Gotham. i will be flipping between Monday Night Raw and Monday Night Football.
i typed up the 4 poems i have written in the last few days. let me just say that fat fingers and a small keyboard don't go together really well. it was also my first interaction with a new version of Microsoft Word. not exactly the easiest thing to navigate without a mouse. it's also really weird to not have a printer right next to me. not sure how long this computer in the kitchen is going to last. as for the poems, 2 were pretty sad and 2 had some funny ass lines. not sure where i'm going to send them, but i do want to send out some poems this week.
that's all for me today. i have dishes to put away and i need to vacuum. i hope everyone had a great weekend. if not, figure out who to blame and take it out on them.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
