had a little luck today...

 so, after i went to the bank today to deposit a check, i decided to go to Meijer. i was hoping to find some baseball cards. i ended up buying a Gypsy Queen box of cards, 1 pack of Diamond Kings and 4 packs of 2022 Topps Series 2. had a couple good cards in the Gypsy Queen box. found a great rookie in the Diamond Kings pack (Oneil Cruz) and found the rookie card i have been hunting for awhile in the Topps packs (Wander Franco). i also got a couple of binders to put some pages of cards in as some of my other binders are getting way too big now. all in all, i spent $75. i think there was somewhere around $60 worth of cards in what i opened today. i was hoping to find some Bowman cards but i didn't have any luck with that.


the Yankees left a small village on base last night and lost to Boston, 5-4, in 11 innings. i hope they win tonight but the way they are playing right now, i won't be holding my breath.






Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.







AEW Rampage was excellent last night.


enjoy some music:





and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Nikki Glaser: Good Clean Filth.


i didn't sleep well last night, but i did get a shave and shower done, so there's that. my arthritis has been acting up today. plenty of rain in the area, just enough to drive me nuts.


i should be on here tomorrow before the Yankees game starts in the afternoon.


i hope everyone has a great Saturday.


until tomorrow kids...

embrace the pain...

 we've had storms and shit weather around us for the last 24 hours. this is the house of apathy today. the best way i can explain the pain i have is take a knife and drive it into the middle of your back, right through your spine. and then move around, cook food, help clean, answer emails, do a blog, run a small business and try to create some poems in whatever the fuck spare time is. i'm not sure many people actually understand this life. and honestly, i'm tired of trying to explain it.


i did open the 2021 Topps Stadium Club box last night. if i had to guess, the cards in it are going to be worth way more than the $25 for the box. 


Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.






Holey Moley was very funny last night.


When Nature Calls was hilarious last night.


Travis did get evicted last night on Big Brother. Kayland is the new HOH.


Desus & Mero was great last night.


the USMNT defeated Martinique last night at the Gold Cup, 6-1. that sets up a game on Sunday vs. Canada to see who wins the group.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and the season finale of Betty. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.


the Yankees play at home tonight against Boston. they have 6 players out with COVID. add in the injured players as well and there will be plenty of kids in the lineup and on the bench tonight. exactly what you want when you are trying to make up ground in the division.


i think my sister is coming down here tomorrow for a few hours. i know she is supposed to bring the umbrella for our table on the back porch. she'll probably freak out when she sees the tomatoes. 


i hope everyone has a great weekend.


i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow. of course, that is if my arthritis allows it.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck the police.

squeezing 24 hours into 6 or so...

i told my mother the other day i am micro-managing my life down to the second. today is a perfect example.

i woke up this morning in time to watch the MLS game between Cincinnati and Atlanta. i was a bit shocked when Cincinnati won 1-0.

the mail came during the game, and one of my packages showed up from Amazon.com. since i have been going through all my cards recently, i have been putting the ones worth money into hard cases while the lesser ones go into softer sleeves. i got 75 toploaders today and used every single one of them. i went through my 1986 Topps Football cards last night, just to see if i had anything worth some money. you can imagine my reaction when i realized i had a Jerry Rice rookie card. HOLY FUCK!!!! that card is worth around $300 or so. so yeah, i found a few cards worth some money. so, if you are looking to buy some football cards, send me an email...

i went to the bank today. i was going to go tomorrow because mom wanted to go to her bank today. she forgot she had a phone call appointment with the doctor's assistant today. so, i went instead. i got to the bank and there was no line. i was thrilled. ten minutes later, they actually got to my deposit i sent through the tube. fuck me. i nearly fell asleep.

i got back home in time to watch Manchester United play Crystal Palace. United won 2-0. i wish they would have scored some more goals. they are in 5th place on goal differential. the team in 4th place and United play on the last day of the Premier League season. oh boy.

NXT was really good last night.

AEW was really good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Holey Moley, Don't, Cake, the special 30 Rock (which won't air on my NBC until 2 in the fucking morning) and Desus & Mero. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

as busy as i try to keep myself, i sometimes forget to check my fucking email. so, i had around 300 of them or so when i finally checked them today.

a big thank you to everyone who has checked out my latest published poems. i really do appreciate it.

until tomorrow kids.

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

at least i was in the car when it started to rain...

i could feel the rain coming in my bones when i was in the grocery store. thankfully, it didn't start to rain until i was on my way home.

i didn't sleep worth a fuck last night. i went to bed at 3 AM and was up a little after 7 AM. joy. i managed to get a couple naps in before i had to get all my shopping done this afternoon.

first up was the bank, where i needed to make a deposit. apparently i go there enough now that the woman behind the counter knows my name. just down the road from the bank is Office Depot. apparently, they only had some windows blown out from the tornado. i need to get some ink for the printer, some bags for the shredder and some cleaning duster. i was hoping they were going to have some different kinds of mats for my computer chair, but i wasn't going to pay $50 for just a newer version of what i already have. after i found everything, it was on to the grocery store. mom forgot to tell me her expensive pills were in this batch. plus, she had to get some new eye drops for her eyes. all told, when it came up to $170 i was a little stunned. thank god i have good credit. she also wanted me to pick up some chicken for dinner tonight and some gravy. my right arm was going crazy while i was in the store. i got a little cart to put the stuff in and of course, since my right arm was slightly bent, the nerve pain was shooting like crazy. joy.

now, once i get this blog done, i have to get all the trash picked up here and next door. hopefully, it won't be raining while that is happening.

the New York Yankees were one strike away last night from a very good come from behind victory. of course, then Chapman hung a fucking slider to the Tampa player who already had 2 home runs in the game. so, the Yankees lost 5-4. i'm interested to see how they respond tonight. it's the kind of loss that can haunt a club if they let it.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

Divorce was good last night.

Desus & Mero was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. if i happen to get something resembling sleep, maybe i'll be on here a little earlier tomorrow. don't hold your breath though.

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

until tomorrow...
