we're under an excess heat warning all week. joy. and of course, it would be this week, when both mom and i have doctor's appointments and she has two physical therapy appointments.
the New York Yankees lost last night at Boston, 9-3. sadly, it looks like the Yankees can whip every other team in the league, but struggle against their own division. hopefully, that starts being different soon since they start a series at home against Baltimore tomorrow night.
i did watch some of the Euro 2024 yesterday.
Power Book II: Ghost was good last night.
The Chi was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Name That Tune.
Game 5 of the NBA Finals is tonight.
i need to go to the bank and make a deposit. i'm going to do that here in a bit.
mom does have physical therapy this afternoon. hopefully, i will get some poems written there.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:
i am hoping this will be a pretty quiet and good Saturday. other than vacuuming the house, all i really want to do today is get in my massage chair and ice down my bad back.
the New York Yankees got their asses handed to them last night in Boston. they lost 15-5. hopefully, they will do better tonight.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
Painting with John was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.
i'm sure i will watch some MLS tonight and probably some golf along with baseball.
i think mom said she wants biscuits and gravy tomorrow morning, so i will most likely be on here after that.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay off the fucking streets.
get the fucking shot.
me vendría bien una siesta muy larga
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, where the fuck to begin... my doctor's visit was a little crazy today. i guess my A1C hasn't changed, which pisses me off. the doctor acted like it was no big deal since everyone is stuck inside with this pandemic, and then as i was leaving... i got handed an order to go get my blood drawn. and since they have a facility on site in their new building, i had to go get it done right then and there. so, my 2:30 appointment went to about 3. the blood work went from about 3:15 to 3:30. i still had to do the grocery shopping after that and i hadn't had anything to eat since breakfast. fucking joy.
i went to the local grocery store before the doctor's appointment. that went pretty well. the larger grocery store after the appointment was a bit of a clusterfuck. mind you, my back has been feeling like shit all damn day. so, by the time i was getting home (5:30 PM), i was pissed at the world.
i also hit up the Dollar Tree close to the doctor's office to see if they sell any baseball cards, like they used to. of course not. i did find some Batman stuff i had never seen before. so, the trip wasn't fruitless.
my doctor also has this new policy where he wants to see his own patients once a year and the rest of the time he wants the patients to go to the 4 nurse practitioners he has in the office. when i told mom that when i got home, she wasn't thrilled.
and then she sprung on me the news that she has a foot doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. so, i guess i know what i am doing.
Deadliest Catch was good last night. next week's episode looks like it is going to be fucking crazy.
WWE Backstage was very good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW and NXT.
i did watch a little bit of the Premier League before i left for the doctor's office. as i told my mother, if everything goes as planned, the victory drinking could be back on Friday after Manchester United plays. i think she is more excited for that than i am.
we're under a flash flood watch at the moment. this is a time where i'm actually happy that i'm not on the farm. i know damn well that parts of the fields would be under water by now. it's been going back and forth from pouring rain like it's the end of the world to a constant drizzle that's more annoying than anything. the worst thing with all this is the fucking humidity. this isn't a cooling rain. this is a mosquito dream rain. and the animals out here have been going nuts. between the birds fighting with each other to get to the dry food to the fucking squirrels taking down a feeder and taking it up the tree with them. and to think, we might actually see the sun again on Monday. fuck me runnin'.
i didn't watch much of the NBA Finals last night. what i did see i knew the Cavs had nothing left. as LeBron said after the game, they simply ran out of talent. i still think he somehow brings a title to Cleveland, but he may have to sell his soul again to do it.
Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. it's one of the few reality shows that i actually believe what i'm seeing.
Tyrant was great last night. i though they might have done the bravest thing a show could do and kill off the main character in the first episode of the second season. by the end of the episode, i knew better. but it definitely sets up a crazy season ahead.
here's some funny shit from last night:
i did make it over to the bank today. i was tempted to keep a few $100 bills out of what i was going to deposit, but i didn't. it was a fun drive over to the bank with all the rain. nearly watched three assholes hydroplane when they hit a huge puddle of water. i played it safe, knowing damn well if i wreck the only car we have, mom WILL kill me.
other than the trip to the bank, today has been about sleep and arthritis. good times.
enjoy a quick music break:
tonight is turning into one of my favorite nights of television. i'll have ROH and Lucha Underground on the DVR. hell, i might even put TNA on it as well. i will be watching the WWE Network tonight to see NXT. mostly, because of this:
i would stop literally anything i was doing to watch those two wrestle each other. the cherry on top of my night is that Lucha Underground will be a 60 minute match between Johnny Mundo vs. Prince Puma. that will be off the charts great.
team USA did beat Nigeria last night, 1-0. they won their group but i still think they need to play much better if they want to win the Women's World Cup.
the Yankees game was basically over in the first inning last night. you're not going to come back when you give up 8 runs in the first. they lost 12-2 to the Marlins. they are back in New York tonight to play the same team. chances are, i won't be watching.
with the NBA and NHL seasons over with now, the silly season can begin. i expect trade rumors galore with the New York Rangers. and i actually think they will do one before the draft. and if they can get a pick in the first round in this draft especially, i would do a Cam Talbot trade in a heartbeat. this draft is fucking loaded this season.
i did see that Manchester United's schedule was released for next season today. hopefully it's one that has some titles at the end of it.
that's all for me today. i'm tapping out from the rain. my arthritis is beating the shit out of me right now.
hope everyone is good, dry, healthy, drunk, naked, enjoying a public park or perhaps the comfort of your back porch. anything to piss off your neighbors.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

roughly about 45 minutes after i posted on this blog yesterday, i went outside to feed the cats. and while doing so, i threw my back out. nothing quite like being frozen in pain while the cats are looking at you like, put the food in the bowl fat ass. i eventually made it back inside, slowly. and since it was mom's birthday, i went into town to get the mail. thank god for adrenaline. i iced it down some yesterday and was hoping that a good night of sleep was going to help. lets just say i'll be doing some more ice today.
when the USA scored 34 seconds into the match yesterday against Ghana, i was thrilled, shocked, and pissed at the same time. pissed because i know how this team operates. they were going to try to defend for the next 90 minutes. sadly, that's pretty much what they did. when Ghana tied the score, i figured getting a point out of this game would be good enough. when the USA scores in the 86th minute and the adrenaline starts flowing through my veins again, it was at the top of my lungs screaming, DEFEND FOR YOUR LIVES BOYS. and they did. to FINALLY beat Ghana is some sweet revenge. considering they have to play Germany next and most likely will be eliminated after that game, is even sweeter. the USA next plays an injured and suspended Portugal team. the USA has injuries as well. and that game is in the middle of the jungle. a draw would most likely get the USA into a great spot for getting out of the group. a win, especially if Germany wins the day before, gets the USA out of the group of death. i will be hoping for a win on Sunday.
also yesterday, Germany destroyed Portugal 4-0. helps that Pepe lost his mind once again. Portugal was losing 2-0 at the time. hopefully Portugal feels sorry for themselves come Sunday. in the first goalless draw of the tournament, Nigeria and Iran did their best to put me to sleep. if my back wouldn't have been killing me, i might have actually got to sleep.
today's action is Belgium vs. Algeria. (Belgium is my sleeper team for the World Cup). Russia plays South Korea. and in the game of the day, Mexico plays Brazil. given that many of these players faced off in the Olympics when Mexico beat Brazil for the gold medal, i would think Brazil will be looking for a little revenge today. might watch that game in Spanish.
Monday Night Raw was excellent last night. helped that the adrenaline from the USA win was still pumping inside me while i was watching. love that they are giving some of the younger talent more of a push now.
Louie had an excellent season finale last night. could have gone without seeing some male ass in the episode, but oh well. another excellent season.
tonight is a Tanaka Tuesday at Yankee Stadium. they start a series with Toronto, who is 4 1/2 games ahead of them in the division. a pretty big series for June. i'll be watching that until Deadliest Catch comes on. quite honestly, all my viewing tonight depends on how my back feels.
hope this finds everyone well. and in better health than me.
until we meet again my friends...
