my mother isn't exactly aging gracefully. i can tell the fear she has on most days as her motor skills decline, becomes more forgetful, etc. i try to tell her to think of the positives, but that does nothing. she often talks about being afraid to die. i stress to her constantly that death is only the natural conclusion to life. it will happen to each and every one of us, whether we like it or not. i want her to enjoy what she has left, not be afraid of what is coming. as someone who has wanted to die since he was 8 years old, i believe i have some experience in saying fuck it, and just move on. but, i can't say i am fully prepared for my mother's death. part of me doesn't want to be overly prepared for it. i want to live in the urgency of now. also, i don't believe she will be dying anytime soon. the problem she is having is none of the drugs they are trying on her are working. so, now i think she has no choice but to go on insulin. and i'm not really looking forward to that. cause i know damn well i will be the one giving her shots before too long. joy.
the Yankees lost last night at home to Cleveland, 9-5 in 12 innings.
NXT was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was good last night.
Hard Knocks was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
i just put out some suet for the birds. i know at some point soon, i need to go to Menards to get a bunch of things, including more suet.
the grocery shopping went pretty good today. the weather was damn near perfect. if only i could say the same about the people.
i need to get started on dinner, so that's all for me kids...
until tomorrow...

fuck war.

for most of today, the feels like temperature outside has been over 100 degrees. good times.
i did make it to Menards yesterday. managed to get everything on the list and spend under $100.
the Yankees lost yesterday 6-5 at home to Boston and got swept for the second straight series. they have lost 8 straight games, which is their longest losing streak since 1995. thank god they are off tonight.
the New Orleans Saints won last night at the Chargers, 22-17.
Big Brother was pretty good last night.
Heels was very good last night.
Billions was excellent last night.
The Chi was great last night.
i did catch some of the MLS games last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.
i did listen to episode 461 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
so, i waited 7 long years for last night to happen. and honestly, it was worth it. thank fucking god, CM Punk is back in pro wrestling. and every thing he did last night reminded me and hopefully millions of other people why he has always been one of my favorites of all-time.
the Yankees beat the Twins last night, 10-2. hopefully they will win again this afternoon.
Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night. i am looking forward to SummerSlam tonight.
Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.
so, i did open the baseball cards last night. it was a value box of 2021 Topps Allen & Ginter. i got a good number of rookies and some really nice cards in it. i haven't seen any values on them yet, but i'm pretty sure it will be worth more than what i paid for them.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be ROH and Austin City Limits. i will be watching WWE SummerSlam for most of the evening on Peacock.
i guess we're going to have pizza tonight from Pizza Hut. mom wanted me to order one last night, but i thought tonight would be better.
i need to go up to Kroger at some point today and get my test strips for checking my blood sugar.
i'll do that after i take a shower.
i also need to vacuum the house today.
i'm guessing i will watch plenty of baseball and soccer this afternoon.
i should be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays Southampton.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.

so now the entire series between the Mets and Yankees this weekend has been postponed. given how many fucking injuries the Yankees have (3 more went on the injured list today), i'm hoping they might have a chance to heal. but, this also probably means a weekend without alcohol. fuck me.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NXT UK was another best of last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i was disappointed that Nicole got evicted, but it made the most sense for the other players. Tyler is the new HOH.
Cake was awesome last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious as always.
here are your NBA highlights from last night:
the Draft Lottery for the NBA last night had a few surprises. i'd love to see Obi Toppin go #4 to the Bulls, given the number of Dayton grads that live in the Chicago area.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, Real Time with Bill Maher and Room 104. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i've been working on my baseball cards for the last 2 days. both of my shipments from Amazon.com got here way sooner than i was expecting. i'm hoping i got enough to cover everything. it looks like i'm going to be cutting it close. but, once i get that all done, i will start making my list of what i have for sale. and i already know what i'm going to do. if you buy $10 worth of cards from me, you will get 5 to 10 cards for FREE of your favorite player or team or both. and the more you happen to buy, the more likely i am to come down on the price of everything.
mom changed her mind this morning about going to the drugstore. i went this afternoon and found everything she wanted. of course, the one thing i was looking for they didn't have. i did pick up a pack of baseball cards. i haven't opened them up yet. i'm hoping it's a good pack.
rest in peace to Frankie Banali, the drummer of Quiet Riot. he died from pancreatic cancer at the age of 68. thanks for the soundtrack of my youth.
i will probably watch some of the NHL games tonight as well as the NBA games.
i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow.
i did watch some of the Europa League final today, mostly to put me to sleep.
until tomorrow kids...
have a great weekend.
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
wear your mask.

when it's hot and sticky out, i have a short fuse. now, i don't seek conflict, never really have, but my blood truly fucking boils when i see the ignorance or just flat out stupidity of society. today's culprit was this old woman who certainly shouldn't be behind the wheel of any vehicle, let alone the SUV she was driving today. it's bad enough when a drive-thru is packed. it's worse when someone has to maintain 6 fucking feet of distance between her and the vehicle in front of her. let's just say i was on her ass as closely as i could be, truly tempted to simply move her out of the way. i never did. i believe that is known as maturity.
i went to Meijer today to stock up on some stuff we were running low on. i was hoping to find some picture frames for the art i have been getting here lately. of course, no luck with that.
the New York Yankees lost last night in Oakland, 6-2. Sanchez and Judge hit solo home runs for the Yankees runs last night. my fear is the pitching isn't going to be good enough for them to win in the playoffs this year. and seeing that these are games Oakland has to win to have a chance to make the playoffs, i won't be surprised if the Yankees lose again tonight.
Smackdown was good last night. 205 Live was very good last night.
Miz & Mrs. was hilarious last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
Hard Knocks was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Songland and Snowfall. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network. i did watch NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.
i have to take mom to a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon. i believe we are going out to lunch after that. so, i will probably do the blog when i get back home in the afternoon.
i'm hoping Songland will be posted online early so i can watch it before i leave tomorrow. it's going to be interesting to see what happens with our local NBC station once football gets going.
that's all for me kids. i have a shitty back i need to go ice down.
until tomorrow...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
when i went out and got the mail today, i saw a letter for my mom and feared what it was about. turns out, my fears were correct. my mother's disability claim got denied today. she's spent the afternoon talking to lawyers because these dumb fucks believe my mother should be able to work as a school nurse. i'm not sure how she can do that when i have to drive her everywhere and she doesn't have the necessary certificates to be a school nurse. what truly pisses me off in this ordeal is the doctor that said she could do this is the fucker who told mom when she went to the appointment to see him, what are you doing here? it's obvious from the x-rays and MRI, you have spinal stenosis. you're not faking anything. the other kicker is the one doctor she went to disputed his claims. so, the insurance company kicked it to our family doctor, who just happened to go to medical school with the asshole who said mom could work. our family doctor agreed with his classmate. that's why the claim was denied. my mother told me when i got home from the bank that she was so fucking angry she couldn't even cry. thankfully, mom did find an attorney that wants to look into this. at least i know where all my stress will be coming from for the next few weeks.
on the poetry front, i contacted Moran Press about the mini-chapbook of mine that was accepted back in February of 2017. i guess the poetry editor left and things have fallen behind, but they still very much want to do the project. so, hopefully this thing will see the light of day before i die.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i think maybe the company has figured out, if you want the fans to cheer for Roman Reigns, you need to keep him in The Shield. the upcoming program between them and Braun Strowman should be fascinating.
Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney was pretty good last night. they did show a few more things than when they originally aired it. i do love the early Beatles stories.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, Deadliest Catch, Fuck That's Delicious, Miz and Mrs. and Hard Knocks. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Yankees start a 2 game series tonight down in Florida against the Marlins. hopefully the Yankees will keep on winning.
the trip to the bank was good today. i had a nice amount to deposit. good timing, as i got a bill in the mail today. i was hoping the woman from the last time was going to be working today. of course, given my luck, you know she wasn't.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i have trash to pickup now, so that's the end of today's festivities.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i quickly realized last night that the sales wouldn't start until today, so mom and i didn't do any shopping last night. all that really meant was today was going to be one long ass day among the masses. and on top of that, it's my uncle's, my next door neighbor, 80th birthday today. so mom went and got him breakfast and i politely declined to partake in the festivities. after all that was over, we went to Menard's. holy shit, we got a ton of things. we needed some power tools and they had some black and decker shit on sale. plus, we needed some things to help this one tree. what we tried last time didn't do the trick. and we needed some new bird feeders and seed. and while we're here, might as well get some stupid shit as well. i got a black sheep holding a bird and two pink flamingos. now, i was smart as i didn't bring my pills to go out to lunch. that way we had no choice but to go back home. pure calculated evil by me. this way i was able to put up all the shit we got for the outside. plus, it allowed me to get a little sun in the yard and work my legs a bit. of course, after i worked up a sweat, mom wanted to go out to lunch and do some more shopping. i at least changed shirts. after lunch we went to an arts and crafts store. shit was way too expensive but i was able to find a few things i needed and 1 thing i just had to have. whenever you see a clock that is like a Salvador Dali clock and it actually works and is 50% off, that's an automatic get. after that store, mom decided she had enough and wanted to go home. of course, she decided that right at the height of rush hour. so, after some creative driving on my part, we got back home a little after 5. that was more or less 6 or 7 hours out with the masses today. i will have some poems to write. mostly about a stunning blonde in the arts and crafts store and 2 waitresses that looked like absolute jail bait today at lunch. good times.
and while we're on some poems, here's one i saw this afternoon that made me laugh, cry, etc.:
the New York Yankees tried to rally last night but came up short, losing 3-2. they are currently scoreless tonight. hopefully they can get back to winning.
the shows last night were pretty good. Big Brother went as i expected. Becky got evicted. when i saw the HOH competition was an athletic one, i figured Austin would win. he did. i have no clue if he will try to get Vanessa out now or not. if he does, i figure she will walk right back in with the latest twist that comes on Thursday.
Lip Sync Battle was fucking hilarious. that was a great way to have your season finale.
Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was pretty good last night. Married really made me laugh.
and let's keep the laughs going:
tonight on the DVR will be NJPW and Treehouse Masters.
hopefully the new solar light i got will be working this evening. i have tried to turn the outside of this house into a sophisticated white trash utopia. i'm slowly getting there.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. this weekend will be a busy pro wrestling one for me. i will be on here tomorrow sometime after the Manchester United game and hopefully before the Yankees start the retirement ceremony tomorrow afternoon.

when i hear rain on the metal roof of the house when i'm falling asleep, i know i'm going to at least get a few hours. when i hear it when i first wake up in the morning, i know a day of misery is ahead of me. but, bring on the pain as the crops are desperate for a good drink. so far, it's been a slow drizzle with a little thunder. as long as it doesn't get crazy, this is exactly what the crops need today.
the Yankees fell behind last night, took the lead, and then, yes, you guessed it, pissed away another game against Houston, 5-2. this team plays down to its competition and has paid for it all season long. they play early this afternoon. hopefully the game puts me to sleep or the satellite feed goes out.
Big Brother was pretty good last night. sadly, it looks like Zach is going to get the boot tonight. but, hopefully in the latest twist, he comes back into the house right after eviction. if not, all i hope is that somehow that fucking sociopath Frankie doesn't win.
Brew Dogs was really good last night. they made a beer in New Orleans. i really need to get to that town at some point in my life. although, chances are, i won't leave.
The Bridge was spectacular last night. this season isn't as good as the first one was but it is as close as you can get to being as good. i love the small world feel as the characters are getting closer and closer to being intertwined. i can't wait for next week.
also tonight, i'll be watching Married and You're The Worst on FX.
the New York Rangers surprised me yesterday by winning the Kevin Hayes sweepstakes. he should fit in quite nicely with how AV wants the guys to play.
i figure i might flip over to FXX sometime in the next 12 days for The Simpsons marathon. that's one of the myriad of shows that i never really got into over my 38 years on earth.
that's all for today kids. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
