one day i'm sure arthritis will win this war with me...

 when it rains like it has for the last couple of days, i basically know i am not going to get any good sleep. so, i basically live off of the three hours at night, a few naps here and there, etc. last night, i tried to write some poems and have that make me sleepy. after i typed up the 4 i wrote, sleep really didn't come. joy.

here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees won last night at home against Arizona, 9-7. they start a series today at the Pirates.

Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage was pretty funny last night.

i did get my laundry started today. of course, my back has filed a protest, but when you run out of clean underwear...

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown.

i'm sure i will probably watch some of the women's Final Four tonight. 

i'm going to try to be on here in the morning since the New York Rangers play early in the afternoon tomorrow.

i need to go to Kroger to pick up a prescription. 

and i need to figure out what i'm having for lunch.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

not how i was expecting to wake up...

 so, i got everything i wanted to do last night at 3 in the morning. i wrote 3 new poems, made all my bets, went through 500 fucking emails, etc. so, i figured i would get some sleep, wake up, rinse and repeat. imagine my surprise when i woke up at 5:45 and had to take a raging shit. after that, i was like well shit, i guess i'm up now. took my Rybelsus, put the clean dishes away, made some coffee, etc. i imagine at some point today 2 hours of sleep won't be enough.

today is going to be a busy one... joy.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

the USWNT plays Brazil today at the Olympics for the gold medal.

the USA men's basketball team plays France today for the gold medal.

i'm sure i will watch plenty of sports today. the weather is supposed to be pretty good today. i have already turned off the air conditioning and opened up the house a bit. i also put out some hot pepper suet for the birds. i'm hoping a squirrel makes the mistake of trying to eat some. that is always pure comedy.

i know mom will be thrilled she will be able to see the Wrexham game today.

the Yankees play a doubleheader today at home against the Texas Rangers. i have no clue how they will do given they just played a doubleheader a couple of days ago. i hope they get some good starting pitching today.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

crisis averted...

 so my potential fuck up with my gambling yesterday worked out for the most part for me. plus, i won $12 last night on the Powerball. that means i have won $20 on the last two drawings. that gives me enough to get tickets for the next drawing on Saturday out of my winnings. that's always the goal.

here are your videos for this day of national poetry month:

the New York Yankees won yesterday at Arizona, 6-5 in 11 innings. the fact that they went 6-1 on the road trip to start the season against two of the better teams in baseball, that gives me hope for a great season. they are off today and play tomorrow at home against Toronto.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against the Devils, 4-3. this game had a little of everything; a line brawl to start off and the Rangers 25th come from behind win this season. 

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

American Horror Story was bat shit crazy last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

i have to take mom to the foot doctor this afternoon. she wants to go to Wendy's after that.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before the Yankees have their home opener in the afternoon.

i have been watching a little bit of spring training with the New York Yankees. i do love the addition of Juan Soto. that should bring some added thump to their lineup. now, i think they are one pitcher away from being a favorite to make the World Series from the American League.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the afternoon.

i hope everyone had an amazing weekend.

as many of you know, i try to do a little something in this blog every day in February for Black History Month. sometimes it will be links to stories or videos, etc. with all the fucking war going on in the world and everything, i think this year will just be videos. so, here are your videos for this day of Black History Month.

with the air turning crisp...

 it rained a bit overnight again, but thankfully, not enough to wake me up this time. plus, it felt nice enough outside this morning, i was able to open the doors and get a little air moving through the house.

the Yankees won yesterday against the Red Sox, 7-5. Judge is still at 60 HR, though i have little doubt he will break the American League record for homers. i hope he gets hot again from the plate as he is now second in batting average. i really hope he wins the triple crown. the Yankees go for the sweep tonight. they have won more games this season than last, so i'm hoping that is a good sign for the playoffs.

Ohio State whipped Wisconsin last night, 52-21.

i did watch a little of the MLS game last night as well.

welcome to the weekend...

 so, i got up early this morning to watch the USMNT takes on Japan in a friendly over in Germany. right when i heard that Pulisic wasn't playing for the USA, i should have just gone back to sleep. Japan defeated the USMNT today, 2-0. honestly, the match never felt that close. i was not pleased at how the USA played at all. simply not good enough.

i went to Rite Aid and got my pills after that debacle. thankfully, there was no charge.

the Yankees won last night over Boston, 5-4, in 10 innings. i honestly thought Judge won the game in the bottom of the 9th, but his blast to center field died at the wall. i figure he will get 61 and/or 62 tonight since i can't watch it. the game is on Apple+. with the win last night, the Yankees clinched a playoff spot at the very least. the magic number to clinch the division is 6 i think.

Vice News Tonight had two great episodes this week.

Big Brother was good last night. Brittany got sent to the jury house, as i expected. Turner won the first HOH of the final 3.

NJPW was excellent last night.

Little Demon was fucking crazy last night.

Atlanta was great last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher and Los Espookys. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

i thought i was going to take mom out to look for a new chair today. i think all of yesterday just really drained her. so, that will have to take place on another day. it would probably help if her glasses would come in first and actually help improve her vision.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend. it feels like it is going to be the perfect fall weather for a good weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

the full range of emotions...

 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:

i figure i might watch some soccer today and maybe some of Edmonton vs. Colorado Game 4 tonight.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

the last day of National Poetry Month...

 today is the last day of April. so, of course, it is raining this morning. i hope everyone has enjoyed the videos and my SoundCloud recordings for the month. below are the final 3 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

the Yankees won last night at the Royals, 12-2. they play again tonight.

the New York Rangers defeated Washington last night, 3-2. the Rangers will play Pittsburgh in the first round of the playoffs, starting on Tuesday at home.

the New Orleans Saints took a defensive back last night in the 3rd round, Alontae Taylor from Tennessee. he looks like he could be a good fit on defense and especially, special teams. the Saints have 2 draft picks today, so i'm hoping they get guys that can fill roles that they still have open. the remaining rounds of the NFL Draft start today at noon.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was really good last night as well.

Real Time with Bill Maher was hilarious last night.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking great last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. looks like this will be the day to catch up on some sleep.

other than the NFL Draft today, i'll probably watch some soccer from around the world. that usually helps me sleep.

i do plan on taking a shower today and shaving. i always like to shave a little before the NHL playoffs start. 

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
