so, i wrote another 3 poems last night. that makes 17 in the last 5 days. these were some of my darker or darkest poems as i was not in a good headspace last night. try thinking of death for nearly 17 hours and see how good you feel while trying to write. but, i did get some decent sleep after that. so, away we go.
the Yankees won last night at home against Detroit, 2-1. nothing quite like a bottom of the ninth comeback. hopefully, they will win again today.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live.
i will be watching WWE Backlash this afternoon. given that it is in France, the crowd should be amazing.
i also will be watching the Kentucky Derby today.
i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today as well.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, most likely.
i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so, i had an interesting conversation with my sister this morning. she sent me a May the 4th Be With You text this morning and i replied that i am going to need the force since i am running on less than 3 hours of sleep. she said she couldn't function if she had that little of sleep. i told her i have had over 30 years of experience of running on fumes. she then said she guesses she will be cremating mom and i on the same day. that made me howl and i told her, not likely. what i wanted to type was i will make sure to say something nice about her at her funeral. but i didn't.
the reason i had less than 3 hours of sleep was twofold. first, the New York Rangers game last night went into 3 overtimes. that meant i was watching the other shit i had to watch last night much, much later than i was expecting. and secondly, my mother had one of those screams last night at 4:52 AM that you only hear in horror movies. i rushed into her room and said what's wrong. she told me to turn on the lights and swore she saw a person in her room getting ready to kill her. she admitted to me this morning that she has been seeing ghosts for the last two weeks. well fuck me. so yeah, i didn't sleep much after that.
the New York Rangers played a great first period last night. and then, for some fucking reason, they reverted back to trying to make everything cute and perfect. so, they pissed away a 2 goal lead last night. of course, the refs played a much larger role in the game than they ever should have. the Rangers scored late in the 3rd, but since the refs and the league are stuck on the Penguins dick forever, the goal did not stand. and of course, the Penguins scored in the 3rd overtime to win, 4-3. Igor stopped an amazing 79 of 83 shots yesterday for the Rangers. i'm not saying that Thursday is a MUST WIN for the Rangers, but it might as well be. i'm just hoping the game 1 loss doesn't scar the players as much as i know it does to us fans. i have a horror list of losses by the Rangers in multiple overtimes that if i let it, will keep me up for days as they replay in my mind.
here are your highlights from the other NHL playoff games last night:
the New York Yankees won their 11th straight game last night, defeating Toronto, 9-1. they will go for their 4th straight sweep tonight.
NXT was good last night.
Young Rock was very good last night.
Name That Tune was pretty good last night.
Holey Moley was crazy as usual last night.
Mayans was excellent last night.
Deadliest Catch was very good last night.
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and The Masked Singer.
i do plan on watching the CONCACAF Champions League final tonight between Pumas and Seattle. i think there is going to be well over 50,000 fans on hand tonight in Seattle.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning (most likely) as mom has her physical therapy late in the afternoon tomorrow.
grocery shopping went well for the most part today. i got mom some yellow roses for Mother's Day. she was very surprised by that.
i guess my sister will be down late Friday night for the weekend.
until tomorrow kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck war.
fuck blind officiating.
fuck the police.
black lives matter.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
stay socially distant.
get the fucking shot.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
today has been pretty nice. cool, but warm enough to open up the house a bit and enjoy a light breeze. of course, later in the week there's a chance for snow. fuck me.
both episodes of The Last Dance last night were excellent.
the season finale of Westworld was fucking amazing last night.
the series finale of Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children was rather heartbreaking. it also reinforces my belief that the justice system in this country is built on wins and losses, not innocence or guilt. and i also agree if they would have indicted someone from the KKK for the murders, all hell would have broke loose, especially in 1981.
Insecure was really good last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
VICE was good last night.
Billions was excellent last night.
Penny Dreadful:City of Angels was pretty good last night.
Batwoman was really good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Songland and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
tomorrow is the anniversary of putting my father into the ground. so, that should be a good day to send some poems out. i should be on here after that.
i hope everyone had a great weekend, all things considered.
stay healthy.
wash your fucking hands.
until tomorrow kids...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
so i'm currently operating on about 3 hours of sleep. i know this, when i die, i will get the best rest EVER.
the New York Yankees won last night against the Twins, 6-3. it was their first win this season over a team with a winning record. of course, every Yankee victory comes with an asterisk, this time being the injury to starter James Paxton. i guess the MRI showed knee inflammation, so he's the latest player on the injured list. they do get Miguel Andujar back today. hopefully, he doesn't re-injure himself.
here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:
here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
NJPW was pretty good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was fucking hilarious last night.
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas was brilliant last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live, ROH and The Shop.
i do plan on watching plenty of the NBA and NHL playoff games today and tonight.
i'll be doing my laundry today during the Yankees game.
i'm hoping i get that all done before the Kentucky Derby starts today.
i'll be on here tomorrow probably after Manchester United plays in the morning.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
nothing quite like a nice hot, humid day in early May. and since we usually resist using the AC for as long as possible, the house is nice and funky today. i guess i need to find the time to squeeze in a shower today.
i got two more emails from my aunt's today. it's becoming painfully obvious that my father told his family that my mother, sister and i wanted to never hear from them again. truth be told, my father told my mother that if we contacted his family ever again, he was going to kill her. talk about not being able to handle rejection. thank god that didn't pass on to me.
tonight is the absolute worst night for everything to be on television, given that i have a funeral to be at at 10 AM. if i'm wearing sunglasses in the rain tomorrow, everyone will understand why.
more on tonight's clusterfuck later.
the New York Yankees got their first sweep in Boston since 2006 with a 8-5 win last night. that was a sweet victory beer. they play against Toronto tonight.
the Sunday night shows were excellent. Nurse Jackie was great. Happyish is so fucking weird that it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine. the writing is great. Penny Dreadful was creepy and fucking brilliant. i love that that show is back. Veep was hilarious. Silicon Valley was great. and lastly, Last Week Tonight hit it out of the park again:
the clusterfuck tonight is massive. all of this is just about on at the same time. i think my DVR may blow up tonight. the Yankees, Game 3 between the New York Rangers and Washington, the NBA playoffs, the Gotham season finale, The Voice, Monday Night Raw, and to top everything off, that Kurt Cobain documentary is on HBO tonight. oh, and i nearly forgot the special that will be on CBS about David Letterman. how in the fuck am i going to watch all this?
thankfully both of my packages from Amazon.com came today before the rain. that allowed me to get mom's Mother's Day gifts all squared away for Sunday, or whenever my sister decides we're going to celebrate it.
my arthritis has been flaring for most of the day, so i know the rain is coming. good times.
i'll be on here sometime tomorrow afternoon unless i decide to just drink myself to oblivion after the funeral service. it will be Cinco de Mayo after all. and i have a whole book in my head of horror stories of my days with tequila. you tasty devil you.
that's all for my creative ass today. i hope everyone had a great weekend.

when i heard that line last night on Saturday Night Live, can a bitch get a beef bowl, i nearly cried with laughter because that pretty much summed up my 4 years in high school. it's coming up on 20 years since graduation. i have no clue if the class is planning on doing anything or not. the beauty of being a loner is i tend to be forgotten when the inviting to this shit goes on. i remember i got sent the info to our 10th reunion the day of. i kind of prefer it this way. they obviously would be shocked at all they have missed. or, much like high school, not really care.
i had 2 of the top 3 horses yesterday in the Kentucky Derby. if i would have had some money down on it i would have been pissed beyond belief, as i missed the 3rd horse by one number. i suppose i'm poor to protect myself at times.
today is going to be an incredibly busy day. when i take the trash down the lane, after feeding the animals, i have to go get some gas. and then if the weather is still good, i'm going to get started on mowing the grass. that means i will miss most of the Yankees game today. but, i can't stand to watch CC pitch anymore as he is going through the process of losing his arm and having to learn how to pitch. good times.
now, if the weather or my bad back doesn't cooperate, i'll be watching the Yankees but probably napping a good bit. i need to be able to stay up late tonight and i really don't like using caffeine to do so.
tonight, the New York Rangers play Game 2 of their second round series against the Penguins. sadly, this will run right into my Sunday night tv viewing. so, i'm going to somehow figure out when to watch the other shows after the hockey game ends. this will most likely make me use the west coast feeds to HBO and Showtime and will have me up to 3 in the morning. if i happen to mow the grass, there is literally no chance i'll make it up that late.
this growing old shit sucks.
for a little different twist, check this out:
i really have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i'd like to get some writing done. and i get the sense that i might be catching up on some shows as well. probably via my shitty joke of a high speed internet connection. until then my friends and enemies. i've got a forest to go mow down.

i figured i better do this blog post now instead of waiting until later. i know damn well if the Yankees and Rangers both lose today i'll have absolutely no desire to speak to anyone.
the Yankees bats decided to take the night off last night. i'm not sure if it was due to Oakland pitching or just the usual bad habits and the inability to do the little things because everyone gets up there to hit home runs. and on a night where the bullpen was limited to say the least, you would hope CC would go longer than 6 innings. a big thank you to Adam Warren for pitching those last 3 innings and sparing everyone else. hopefully that leads to better things the next 2 games.
i bounced around last night between the hockey and basketball playoffs. nothing was really dramatic until the San Jose and Vancouver game. i did get a good laugh when the Sharks won in overtime. i'm sure Raffi Torres didn't mind sticking it to his former team.
i laughed so hard at something my sister sent me last night on YouTube that i actually fell out of the chair. literally. hopefully it will have the same effect on you:
it's a rather cool start to the morning. still dry, amazingly enough. looks like most of the rain is going to stay to the south of the farm. that doesn't bode well for the Kentucky Derby later today.
i'll try to watch a new Saturday Night Live tonight. Zach Galifianakis' humor is hit and miss with me most of the time. plus, if the show starts to suck, i'll just flip over to a new episode of ROH. at any rate, it's going to be another late night. throw in that i have dishes to do and i wouldn't mind jotting down a poem or two... as my mother would say when i was a child, busier than nine cats covering up shit in a windstorm.
hope everyone has a great day.
