it rained overnight here. i wondered why i woke up with pain at 7 this morning. another 4 hours of sleep. when it gets really bad, i end up napping most of the morning. and when that happens, i don't get around to doing anything (like shopping, going to the bank, etc.) until after 2 PM. i just love dealing with school buses these days. the bank i normally go to was closed for some fucking reason. i had to get mom some snacks she likes at Big Lots. then i had to travel to the next town over to go the bank. i said fuck it, and stopped at the Rite Aid to get some baseball cards. i paid $5 for a Fairfield box and it had roughly $25 worth of cards in it. that works for me. and then i had to get gas as i was under 1/4 of a tank. thankfully, i had a $1 off a gallon at Kroger, so i was able to get gas for under $2 a gallon. that made me happy.
the Yankees won yesterday at the White Sox, 5-3. they start a homestand tonight against the Angels in a make up game from earlier this season. hopefully, they will win.
ROH was really good yesterday.
the season finale of The White Lotus was good.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
Power Book III: Raising Kanan was good last night.
Heels was really good last night.
Big Brother was pretty good last night.
Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
i tried the Arby's chicken nuggets last night. they are way fucking better than what McDonald's offers. hell, i think they are even better than Wendy's.
i listened to episode 356 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
i don't know if it is because of the Olympics being on and i'm up at all hours so i can watch shit live, or just the days seem to be dragging along slow as fuck... the dog days of summer are here. i did make it to the bank today. after i made that deposit, i went to Big Lots, hoping to find some baseball cards. no luck. hell, they didn't even have any Funko Pop! toys either. well shit.
the Yankees lost last night to Baltimore, 7-1. the best part of the game was the fucking cat running around in the outfield. and of course, since this is the Yankees season from hell, Gerrit Cole and Jordan Montgomery both have COVID now. so, the Yankees will be starting a rookie tonight. hopefully, he does well. he's their #6 prospect, so i'm hoping for the best.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. as usual, it could have been better.
i did stay up to watch the USA men's basketball team defeat Spain, 95-81.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT and Deadliest Catch.
i do plan on watching some of the TBT finals tonight.
i do believe the USA women's basketball team plays Australia late tonight. i'm sure i'll be up watching that.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i have some friends with books coming out, so here are a few links for you to check out:
when it rains like this, just enough drizzle to make me miserable, i am fucking useless. my bad back and arthritis just grows and grows and grows with pain. fucking miserable.
there was a scene last night in the final episode of Hemingway that really hit home with me. when he said that when he couldn't write anymore, when the words were gone, he would commit suicide, i shed a tear. i have had the exact same conversation with myself for the last 20 years. all in all, just a damn good documentary. i highly recommend it.
the poet of the day for this day of National Poetry Month is Karina Bush. i am very happy to consider her a friend and one of the best poets alive today.
night 1 of NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver was excellent. i hope night 2 will be even better tonight.
AEW was great last night as well.
The Masked Singer was crazy last night, but i guessed the Bulldog correctly.
Snowfall was fucking great last night.
the Yankees lost to the Orioles last night, 4-3 in 11 innings. they are off today and start a series down in that dump in Tampa tomorrow.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Young Sheldon, B Positive, Clarice, The United States of Al, Cake and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching NXT tonight on Peacock. i already checked out NXT UK this afternoon.
Manchester United won today, 2-0. those two away goals should set them up to make the semi-finals of the Europa League.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Pittsburgh. i'd love to see another win like the last one.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know i need to make a trip to Menards and i'm not sure if mom wants to go along or not. so, hopefully in the early afternoon or something like that.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
wear your mask.
get the shot.
y ahora la loca quiere fingir que soy su marido
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:
anyone that knows me knows how much i admire the pure talent of Karina Bush. her poetry is a breath of fresh air, if you're into having your mind twisted and every raw nerve in your body vibrate with a sensation rarely felt or known.
Brain Lace is a book that dives into the meta of love, lust, technology, all wrapped into the dystopian world we have devolved into. the stand out poems to me were "Sutra Of The Computer Body", "Mine" and "Cloud IX".
Karina has a way of writing that makes me smack myself in the face and wonder why i never put those words together in that order. just as her previous books have done, Brace Lace is another book that you can read in one sitting and feel completely different when you are finished.
i urge everyone to get this book, it's worth every second of your time.
a big thank you to Karina Bush for supplying the visuals for the first YouTube video i have put out in quite some time. here is the link to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAola5glXOo
this book should come with a warning label. be careful reading in public, it works faster than Viagra.
it is no secret that Karina Bush has quickly become one of my favorites. her writing is so damn raw and real that you can't help but immerse yourself in that world.
50 EURO is a masterpiece. writing that clearly paints a picture and puts the reader inside the glass in Amsterdam's red light district. i can't give this book more praise than this...
i needed a towel afterwards.
my favorite pieces were "sadface", "ruler", "no roses", "ultraviolet" and "cleanse".
do yourself a favor and get this book and enjoy the fuck out of it.
i don't think Game 3 could have gone much better for the New York Yankees even if they were dreaming. they got 6 shutout innings from CC, 3 run homers from Todd Frazier and Aaron Judge, and two spectacular catches from Judge as well. the only negative last night was Betances has fucking lost all his confidence in the bullpen. thankfully, only 1 run came out of that fucking mess in the 9th. the Yankees won last night 8-1. they will have a chance to even the series at 2 games apiece this afternoon.
Monday Night Raw was very good at times last night and really boring in others. it's obvious The Shield reunion is in the forefront right now. but at times, it certainly overshadowed the rest of the show. i truly didn't expect Kane coming up from the ring near the end of the cage match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. that 3 on 5 TLC match this Sunday should be rather interesting.
The Big Bang Theory was very funny last night.
i thought The Voice was very good last night. when the battle rounds start, the show really gets good.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show, The Voice and American Horror Story. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Pittsburgh. i'm probably going to avoid watching the game as much as possible as i really can't stand how the Rangers are playing these days.
i did get a copy of my friend and (hopefully) future ex-wife Karina Bush's new book, 50 EURO, in the mail today. i will try to get a review posted for that in the next few days.
my blood results all came back good. my A1C seems to be under control, so i'm pretty damn happy about that. i still haven't heard about my x-rays though.
that's all for me today kids. i'm going to try to be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the Champions League.
i now have lunch to eat and trash to pick up. and hopefully tonight i'll be enjoying a couple victories and some alcohol to put me to sleep.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
have you ever picked up a book, read a few pages, and then suddenly realized you can't put it down until you are finished? it's those rare moments, at least for me, that keep me from killing myself. so, in a way, if any of you are disappointed, send your complaints to Karina Bush.
Maiden is an incredible quick read that will make your panties wet as quickly as you will blush. the poems flow of sex and love and desire and romance. at first glance, you may simply think they are crude. but do yourself a favor and dig into the language and see the beauty of the mix of lust and love.
the poems that really stuck out to me were:
The Wettest Love
Into Your Air
War (which honestly is one of the best poems i have ever read)
Takes
Tender Night
43 pages of poems that will saunter into your dreams and... well, use your imagination.
i urge all of you to find this book and devour it. and remember the name Karina Bush, a raw talent that is unstoppable.
