or how i like to call July 1st, happy free agency day. and thankfully, as a New York Rangers fan, i can actually be happy today. the Rangers signed the guy i desperately wanted them to sign, Artemi Panarin. that should be the jolt the offense really needs. and if their #1 pick this year is as good as i think he is, i fully expect the Rangers to make the playoffs this coming season. not bad for deciding to rebuild the team 1 1/2 years ago.
i was pleasantly pleased with what the Sacramento Kings did in free agency. they added some sensible depth to a young club that should be looking to take a leap forward next season.
at the Gold Cup last night, Jamaica defeated Panama 1-0 and the USA survived a listless performance and defeated Curacao 1-0.
so the semi-finals of the Gold Cup will be Haiti vs. Mexico on Tuesday and USA vs. Jamaica on Wednesday.
Sermon on the Mount was really good last night.
Big Brother was pretty good last night.
Our Cartoon President was hilarious last night.
City on a Hill was really good last night.
Big Little Lies was short again last night but excellent.
Euphoria was great last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after the USA plays England in the Women's World Cup.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
hard to believe it's already July.
until tomorrow kids...

i might have got to sleep around 4 in the morning. i was back up at 8. it's not quite insomnia anymore. it's the morose nature of this existence in the winter. the hours seem endless and my brain simply has no desire to shut off. add in a good four or five hundred words i had to get off my chest with a former (maybe still, maybe not, who the fuck knows) friend. last night was one of those where there was no fucking way i was going to get anything resembling good sleep.
the New York Rangers had a good first period last night. that was about where all the good stopped. the Rangers lost last night at Tampa Bay 6-3. oh well.
Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night, especially the ending.
the Vice News Special Report last night about the untold stories of the 2008 financial collapse was very, very interesting. it would be even better if the dumb fucks in this country would actually understand how close we were to a great depression again and how much of the money given has already been paid back with interest. instead, these dumb fucks went and elected an asshole New York con man and thought he was going to save them. idiots.
The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue which 4 are going to make the finals tonight. i figure someone i really like is going to make it and someone else is going to get cut. all 8 have real talent.
i did watch a little of the Monday Night Football game last night between Minnesota and Seattle.
it was also good to see the Sacramento Kings win last night.

a big thank you to Jonathan Hayes for sending me a copy of his new book of poems, A Full Moon in Santa Cruz. it was an excellent, quick read.
i'll be on here tomorrow after i take mom to get her MRI on her back. of course, that is scheduled at the same time that Manchester United will be playing in the Champions League.
i better get going and try to get the trash done before it gets dark.
i hope everyone had a good day. until next time kids...

she tells me this while watching me react to the New Orleans Saints game yesterday. i figure a heart attack is certainly not out of the realm of possibilities. i don't expect the Saints to be the ones to do it to me though. although, they certainly tried yesterday.
when the Saints were up 35-14, i was cautiously optimistic. now, anyone who knows me, knows optimism is a foreign fucking concept in my life. sure enough, the Rams mounted a furious comeback and eventually tied the game at 35. i'm a guy who wears his emotions on his sleeves. and like the old Barenaked Ladies song, i'm often losing my shirt. thankfully, the Saints scored the next 10 points to win the game 45-35. easily, the best game of the day. now, i hope the Saints don't have the letdown when they play next at the Bengals.
well, the Sacramento Kings fell back to earth yesterday, losing in Milwaukee 144-109. ouch.
the New York Rangers won last night over Buffalo, 3-1. i think they are finally figuring out what the new coach wants. it also helps that The King is back to being The King again.
the season finale of The Deuce last night was excellent.
Camping was pretty good last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.
Axios showed just how fucking stupid the asshole that runs this country truly is.
Our Cartoon President was fucking hilarious last night.

the trip to the bank was uneventful this afternoon. after that, i had to go to the drugstore to pick up some things for mom. the only thing i hate about going out in the afternoon is getting stuck behind a school bus.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know if i get my ass in gear tonight, i will be sending out poems in the morning (at least in theory). so, if that does happen, i'll be on here after i get that done.
i hope everyone had a great weekend. now, get your ass out there and vote tomorrow.

so, i have been incredibly busy today and i'm doing it all on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. so my best friend, while in the waiting room of her oncologist, decided that's the perfect time to start an argument with me. and apparently, since i said i don't have time for your need to throw a fit, that was all Debbie needed to block me from contacting her. on the day i wire her $200 from the money raised on Gofundme. and i'm the asshole for wondering why my best friend neglects her mental health. and i'm the asshole for helping her find the people in Colorado willing to help her. but don't worry, i guarantee she will tell everyone she did everything on her own. that's fine. i'm not sure when the world will finally understand. i am incapable of feeling any empathy for anyone that decides to burn their fucking bridges with me. so, i do hope she beats cancer. i do hope she gets the help she needs. i do hope she finds housing before she's homeless at the end of the month. it's one thing to be d.i.y. all your life, it's another to be so stubborn that you become a fucking $#@%. i will allow everyone to use their imagination on what word goes there.
imagine that, she just unblocked me.
the New York Yankees scored 4 runs yesterday in the first inning and decided that was enough for the game. thankfully, the bullpen agreed, for the most part. the Yankees got the sweep of Seattle with a 4-3 win. they now start a series tonight in that dump down in Tampa.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Lip Sync Battle was really good last night.
i was happy i watched the entire NBA Draft last night. the Dayton curse is finally over.
now, while the Sacramento Kings didn't select who i wanted, it's not like they didn't select a player that should really help them. if he's the missing piece, i will gladly tell the world i was wrong.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW, Major League Wrestling and Real Time with Bill Maher. i will probably be watching the 1st round of the NHL Draft for most of the night. the New York Rangers have 3 first round picks and they can't fuck this night up if they want to have a quick rebuild.
i was really hoping to listen to the new Nine Inch Nails album i bought on iTunes today. but, when the songs downloaded last night, the only one that had any sound was the first single they put out weeks ago. that will be the last time i pre-order anything i guess. they still haven't got in touch with me to correct the problem.
the grocery store was fucking crazy today. it was a somewhat rainy, somewhat humid as fuck day today. it was warm enough that some of the black women shopping today were in extremely skimpy clothes. i certainly didn't mind, but i did enjoy the look of disdain from all the old white women shopping. i wanted to get some fresh fish, but i didn't want to wait in a line that was about 10 to 12 people deep. and by the time i went, most of the good shit was gone. joy.
here's what has happened in the World Cup since the last blog. France defeated Peru 1-0. Croatia destroyed Argentina 3-0. Brazil scored late to defeat Costa Rica 2-0. Nigeria defeated Iceland 2-0. Switzerland came from behind to beat Serbia 2-1. tomorrow, Belgium takes on Tunisia. South Korea plays Mexico and Germany takes on Sweden.
i will probably be on here sometime in the morning tomorrow.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i hope everyone has more patience than i do. i hope the alcohol flows freely for you this weekend.

i have a sign in my room that says i get my cardio by running from adult responsibilities. today might be the day i run for a few miles. my best friend sent me a message this morning i never wanted to hear from her. the mass in her left breast is cancer and they need to remove the whole breast. we got into a little argument last week when i brought up this possibility. now that it is actually here, i know my tough love approach won't work. this is when i need to be the compassionate listener. now, that's something i do well, but when a person just a few years older than myself is facing this, i know all my listening will turn into me facing my own mortality. i joke all the time i do all i do for my mother so i get to stay in the will. she said something about it yesterday and i quickly snapped back with the unfortunate reality we all know... none of this will do me any good if i die first. that brings up a topic in most of my poems, the race to death. i have to call my best friend later this afternoon. i figured i would get the blog done before that fucking cry fest begins. she's one of the few humans on the planet that tells me she loves me and actually means it. it figures she'd have cancer. god hates me.
the New York Yankees got down 3-0 last night at the Nationals. they clawed their way back to get it to 3-3 and then the fucking rain came. and it never stopped. so the game was suspended until 5 PM tonight. they will try to finish the game from yesterday and then play the game they had scheduled for tonight. of course, it's supposed to rain tonight in D.C. so who the fuck knows if they will even get to play at all.
i was pleasantly surprised last night when the Sacramento Kings got the #2 pick in the NBA Draft Lottery. of course, i immediately wondered how they will fuck this up. hopefully, that doesn't happen.
Smackdown was pretty good last night.
205 Live was really good last night.
The Voice was good last night. i had 3 of the 4 finalists i chose correct. and seeing that the only one i had wrong was the one i had fifth, i'm really fine with the Final 4. i would love to see Kyla or Spensha win, but my gut says Britton will win this.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
The Chris Gethard Show was fucking great last night.
The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

plus, there is rain in the area, so my arthritis is raging at the moment. joy.
i have no idea if mom is going to her physical therapy appointment tomorrow or not. she's still coughing her head off at the moment. if she does, i'll be on here tomorrow after that. if she doesn't, i might have a little writing session and then i'll be on here. i can't imagine what would be on my mind to write about.
that's all for me today kids.

there was only a few people in my life that truly caught my brain, my soul, my essence with their talent. sadly, now all of them are dead. when i got the news last night that Leonard Cohen had died, i was devastated. i knew he was near his death, but i certainly wasn't expecting it so soon after he released his last album. his voice has been the narrator of my dreams and nightmares since i was in high school. i would devour his music, his poetry, anything the man was associated with as i was growing up. i truly believe Leonard Cohen shaped my wisdom and poetry as much as Bukowski and Burroughs did. for that, i will forever be in debt to you. thank you for everything. you gave more than this world ever deserved. rest in peace and safe travels.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Big Bang Theory was very funny last night.
Life in Pieces was fucking hilarious last night. i wonder if i should have my ashes turned into jewelry.
the season finale of Better Things was great. i have high hopes for next season of this show.
i had the misfortune of watching the Sacramento Kings lose to the fucking Lakers last night while i was icing down my back. talk about fucking torture.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, 2 episodes of NJPW, a couple of shows on Butch Walker on DIRECTV and i haven't decided if i'm going to record the soccer game tonight or not.
the USA takes on Mexico tonight in World Cup Qualifying. they are playing in Columbus, where Mexico absolutely hates to play. hopefully the boys get a big win tonight.
i'll be at the home opener of the Dayton Flyers tonight. they are playing against Austin Peay. Dayton will celebrate Big Steve tonight before the game. it's still a bit of a shock to realize he's dead. it will take some getting used to watching the team without him out there. i'm really hoping Dayton plays great tonight with urgency and purpose. they have what it takes to make this a special season.
i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i hope everyone has a great weekend.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
remember when the Cubs won the World Series and i said welcome to the apocalypse, the world is coming to an end. and you thought i was joking.
truthfully speaking, i didn't like any of the candidates running for President. the only person involved in government that comes close to my way of thinking is Bernie Sanders. but i never truly thought this country would be so fucking stupid. i forget who said it first, but it's a statement that i have remembered since i was in high school.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE IGNORANCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
i feel sorry for my sister and my mother. and honestly any woman in this country that actually thinks this country believes they are equals to men. it's painfully obvious that so many in this country don't think that way or choose to never believe it. the number of white women that gleefully just elected a person who brags about sexual assault is not only confusing to me but quite frankly, fucking disgusting. i wonder if these will be the same women bitching when Roe v. Wade gets overturned or when there suddenly are no women on the Supreme Court anymore. but, part of the blame deserves to be on Hillary as well. only someone in the elite of this country could actually believe that you deserve to be the President because it is your turn. this should signal the time for the entire Clinton part of the Democratic party to go away.
also, the news media, as i have told many of you for years, never tells you the truth. Ray Bradbury told an audience i was in years ago to never listen or watch the local or national news. go find the truth for yourself.
as someone who went to a black high school, i learned very quickly in life that being a racist would get me killed. it's appalling to me that so many fucking whites in this country didn't get the chance to learn that lesson. and now, they feel like they have a voice at the table since their leader just got elected. how the fuck did people actually believe that racism ended when Obama got elected? i'll be shocked if the KKK doesn't ask for a meeting at the White House at some point in the next 4 years.
lastly, i hope the people that voted for Trump do realize, you did not elect a President, you elected a King. politicians govern, kings rule. and Trump will rule, trust me. he has NEVER given two shits about the poor at anytime in his fucking life. anything coming out of his mouth about it now is complete and utter bullshit. what is even worse is the Vice President Elect. here is a man that believes women should have the rights they had in the 1800's and nothing more. and i'm sure the religious right is thrilled that he is there to push their backward ass agenda for this country. so many poor white people truly believe that a rich old white guy is going to give them the magic ticket one day. this is how people get rich you dumb fucks, taking advantage of you stupid people.
and people have the fucking gall to ask me why i don't vote. this is exactly why. i do not want to be associated with the stupid fucks who think their civic duty is to pick the lesser of two evils.
now i must figure out which pro marijuana state i am moving to or find some really cheap property in Costa Rica and never come back.
----
add on top of that bullshit last night, the New York Rangers lost to a Vancouver team that had lost 9 games in a row, 5-3. just one of those nights where nothing went well for the boys. they couldn't get anything going and they paid for it. they are off until the weekend.
i did see that the Sacramento Kings won again last night. that's 2 in a row now.
Smackdown was pretty good last night. it at least provided me a decent distraction from the election.

i heard back on my poetry submission from Easy Street yesterday. they decided to pass on the 5 poems i sent. i did appreciate the comments on why the poems weren't accepted. that definitely will be remembered.
i wrote 5 poems this afternoon after a quick trip to the grocery store to get mom's medications. surprisingly, only 2 were about the election. i've got a stack to send out here in a few days probably.
that's all for me today. i've got to figure out what i'm going to do for health insurance when the Republicans kill Obamacare and replace it with what we used to have. especially considering i am a Type 2 diabetic now, it will be interesting.

you ever have one of those days where you just have to get the fuck out of the house? today was that day for me. i knew mom needed a bigger flowerpot for this flower she has growing in the kitchen, so there was my excuse. of course, i didn't think i would have to go to 3 different stores to find what the fuck i was looking for. even the Lowe's i went to had fucking Christmas shit all over the place. talk about turning my mood to shit rather quickly. but it did feel good to get a little sunshine and be away from the house for a bit. of course, when i got back home, mom told me that our neighbors called looking for me. apparently my uncle was out on his scooter and it died right next door and he needed to be pushed back home. i went over there after i ate lunch and said shit, i guess missed all the excitement today. that turned into 30 minutes talking about politics and jesus fucking christ, i can't wait until November 9th.
the New Orleans Saints got back to .500 with a 41-23 victory out in San Francisco yesterday. now, the true test comes. they play Denver at home next week. if they win that game, i'll actually believe that they might just have a chance in the division.
the New York Rangers kept the winning and the scoring going last night. they defeated Winnipeg 5-2. this is the first time they have scored 5 goals or more in 5 straight victories since the 1978-79 season. the Rangers went to the Stanley Cup Final that year. they play again tomorrow at home against Vancouver.
even the damn Sacramento Kings won last night, defeating Toronto 96-91. nothing quite like a night full of alcohol...
Westworld was spectacular last night. a very nice twist at the end that should make the show even more interesting now. Insecure was very funny last night. Divorce was very funny as well. Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as always. Shameless was great once again last night. Masters of Sex was very good as well.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be The Voice, Gotham, Saturday Night Live: Election Special and Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw and probably some of the football game tonight as well.

Ohio State played down to the competition yesterday and won 24-20 over Northwestern. i honestly think the offense is beyond fucking lost at this point. and you can tell the defense is at the point where they are wondering when the fuck the offense is going to do something to pick them up. they will have to be better next week if they think they are going to beat Nebraska.
Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

the Sacramento Kings won last night, 106-103 over the Timberwolves. they are now 2-1 on the season. i'm hoping against hope that they can keep it up.
the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Tampa Bay. hopefully the boys can start a new winning streak tonight.
congratulations to my sister on passing her test this morning. she's now a step closer to getting a job she might actually enjoy.

i had to take some paperwork for mom over to the doctor's office this afternoon. i figured i would do the grocery shopping afterwards. the drive over to the office wasn't bad, but the drive to the grocery store from there was fucking nuts. between farm equipment, construction, and some old fucker driving 20 miles per hour under the speed limit, my patience was severely being tested. one good thing, i did get gas for under $1 a gallon today. that's the good thing about getting gas at the same place you get your groceries and pills. so, other than the old lady cutting me off in the grocery store parking lot, it was a decent afternoon. i got everything i needed in the store, other than my favorite spiced rum. apparently, they don't sell it anymore. so i got some Bacardi Gold instead.
my sister is down here for a couple days i guess. so, i won't be drinking alone i suppose.
Vice News Tonight was excellent last night. i learned more than i really ever needed to know about emojis.

i think i'm going to do a little poetry work tonight, figure out where i'll be sending some poems late tonight or tomorrow morning.
i'll be on here after Manchester United plays in the morning. Ohio State plays in the afternoon, so i have a nice window to write.
the weather is supposed to take another turn back to summer this weekend. i know there will be many happy people in costumes. i remember that i had a winter coat on for most of my youth while trick or treating. i think they said it was going to be near 80 this weekend. good thing global warming is just a myth.

i think i woke up every 2 hours or so last night. i knew it was raining and i was having some weird ass dreams. ex-lovers trying to kill me with the bones of animals, movie stars complimenting me on my poetry, a woman cornering me in the grocery store to show me a birthmark of my beard on her ass... you know, shit like that. today has been one of those days where i'm just swimming in the void, hoping to either hit shore or just fucking drown already.
the New York Rangers got scored on 10 seconds into the game last night. it was 2-0 by the end of the first period. i was not a happy man. 5 consecutive goals later, i was feeling much better. the Rangers beat the Bruins last night, 5-2. it's odd to actually see a power play that works. i don't think i've seen that on a Rangers team in over a decade.
i did catch the last few minutes of the Sacramento Kings defeating Phoenix 113-94 last night. i guess they actually played some defense last night. that's what has been missing for years. the home opener is tonight against the Spurs. if they somehow win that one and i might drink myself blind.
Vice News Tonight was excellent last night.
Lip Sync Battle was fucking hilarious last night.
American Horror Story was great last night. that was the bloodiest episode i can ever remember in the history of the show.
You're The Worst was awesome last night. it's the second time this season they have devoted an entire episode to minor characters. i wish more shows took those chances.
Any Given Wednesday was really good last night.
Total Bellas was kind of depressing last night. i sort of know the kind of shit Daniel Bryan is going through. depression is not an easy thing to handle, especially when you're being filmed at the same time.
NXT was really good last night. i can't wait to see Mickie James take on Asuka. and the second round of the Dusty Rhodes tag team classic looks to be very interesting.

i decided to be a little productive today, so i actually took a shower and am currently doing my laundry. good times.
what a difference a few days make. sure, Manchester City was not at full strength and was mostly disinterested for most of the game, but i'll gladly take the fucking win. i thought Manchester United played much better in the second half and they got rewarded for it. a little luck and United scores more than the Juan Mata goal. but, it's that goal that knocks Manchester City out of the EFL Cup, so i'll gladly drink to that. United will play West Ham in the quarterfinals.
Vice News Tonight was excellent last night. the piece on the PTSD involving guards from Gitmo was fascinating.
Atlanta was fucking hilarious last night. thank god i'm not one of those white people.
Smackdown was really good last night.
The Voice was great once again last night.
i did watch a good portion of the Cavs game last night. i certainly never thought i'd see the day that team would be presented with championship rings.
i also watched a portion of game 1 of the World Series last night. i doubt Cleveland will ever have a better night of sports for the rest of the time earth exists.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Lip Sync Battle, American Horror Story, You're The Worst, Any Given Wednesday, Total Bellas and Lucha Underground. at some point tonight i'll watch NXT on WWE Network.
the New York Rangers take on the Boston Bruins tonight. i'll try to watch a good portion of that as well.
also, the Sacramento Kings start their season tonight on the road against Phoenix. i'm interested to see how yet another new coach does with the Kings. they might have a chance to be decent this season if they actually play defense.
i had to go to the store today to get mom's next round of medications. she got a message today that her latest FMLA didn't get approved. i told her that since she's starting to cost the insurance company money, they are going to fuck with her every chance they get. still no update on the search for a specialist. i figure all these fuckers are waiting for the first of the year and then they'll call. that way the patient has to foot the bill.
i did write 3 poems this afternoon. i typed them up before the game and i really like them. i've got a little stack now, so i should be sending out another round of submissions in the next few days.
that's all for me today kids. take it easy and then take it again.
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...
