here comes the bitter cold...

 i guess tonight it basically starts to feel like Siberia here. supposed to feel like -10 for the next couple of days. joy. 


i did write 1 poem last night. i was really hoping for more but nothing was flowing.


i did get up early enough this morning to watch Manchester United lose to Brighton, 3-1. they can't play well two games in a row at home for anything.




i'm sure i will watch the NFL playoffs today. hopefully, i will make more money than i did last night.


the Chiefs (of course) beat Houston, 23-14. Washington stunned Detroit last night, 45-31.





today, Rams at Eagles and Ravens at Bills.


the Dayton Flyers won yesterday at home against Loyola Chicago, 83-81 in OT.



the USMNT defeated Venezuela yesterday, 3-1.



the New York Rangers won last night at home against Columbus, 1-0. no goals were scored until the shootout. the Rangers play tonight at Montreal.



AEW Collision was ok last night.



Austin City Limits was very good last night.



Saturday Night Live was fucking hilarious last night.

i think today is going to be mostly a day to relax and hopefully watch some sports and/or catch up on some sleep.


i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. i have no damn interest in watching the inauguration, so it will be before the NBA games start tomorrow.


i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

at least i made it to the bank...

 my back is feeling a little better today. i at least made it to the bank to deposit a check. i really thought i was going to get some good sleep last night. i took a shower and had ice ready for my shoulders and back. i fell asleep around 3 and woke up right at 7 this morning. fuck me.


Monday Night Raw was very good last night.






i did watch some of the Falcons vs. Eagles last night. i can't believe the Eagles choked that game away.

been a long day...

 for some damn reason, i was up at 6:30 this morning. i didn't want to be, i know that for sure. i had to get mom up at 9 so she would ready for her hair appointment this afternoon. i dropped her off there and went to the bank to make a deposit. after i did that, i went to Meijer to look for some baseball cards. my goal was to spend under $40. i got 4 packs and some NBA cards for $32. sadly, there wasn't much good in the packs. of course, that is the danger of buying retail. after that, i went back to where mom was getting her hair cut. she must have had around 6 inches cut off. i told her that should feel much better in this heat. once she paid, we went to Kroger, which is basically across the street. she had pills ready and so did i. i thought i was going to get a better discount on the Rybelsus. the first two times i got it, it was $74. this time, it was $237. as i told my mother, ah, capitalism. so, instead of $300 off like the first two times, this time was around $130. sadly, nothing surprises me anymore. this was mom's first time in Kroger since they had remodeled. i think she could tell i was being honest when i told her it would be sensory overload her first time in there. we went back home and i finally had some lunch; roughly 8 hours after i had breakfast. 


the Yankees won last night at Texas, 8-4. hopefully, they will do it again tonight.



Name That Tune was good last night.


Monday Night Raw was very good last night.

another example of bad things only happen to good people...

 i watched a little bit of the Denver Nuggets first summer league game last night. i wanted to see DaRon Holmes II first game. i saw him a little bit in what i watched. then, i turned back to the game later, and i heard they had to help him to the back. and then i saw a message from one of the NBA guys i really trust and i was devastated. i guess he tore his fucking Achilles last night. ++going to miss the entire season now. as i told my mother this morning, at least he did this after he signed his NBA contract. i hope he conquers his rehab and comes back better than ever.




the Yankees won last night in Baltimore, 4-1. hopefully, they will do that again today.





Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.






AEW Rampage was good last night.





Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.



the season finale of Fantasmas was excellent.

a cloudy day, oh joy...

 today has been cloudy as fuck and only got into the 60's. i can't complain since it will be in the 90's before too long. i did a little poetry work today. i think i know where i will be sending 13 poems tonight.


a big thank you to everyone who checked out my latest published poem:

the New York Yankees won last night at home over the Dodgers, 6-4. they play tonight at the Royals.







here are your highlights from Game 2 of the NBA Finals:



i took mom to Rite Aid today. she wanted to get a card and look for some other things. she was shocked at the prices and said she will have to get the shit from Amazon. i laughed and told her eventually, that will be all of us.


NXT Battleground was excellent last night.

at least i got a nap today...

 i had to go out to Rite Aid today because as i was doing my pills for the week last night, i didn't realize we were out of Benadryl. so, i got two boxes of that today and another sharps container as i know one of them is just about full. thankfully, i had a coupon that got me $5 off. 


other than that, i got a good nap this afternoon watching the Europa League action. went 3 out of 4 on my bets with that. never thought Brighton was going to lose at home. so, 7 out of 8 in the Champions League and 3 out of 4 in the Europa League. so close to actually making some money. damn.


the Yankees lost last night to Toronto, 6-1. i think if they lose tonight they are officially eliminated from the playoff race. hell, they already know they have no fucking shot at that. i think the only thing left is to try to stay above .500. they are currently 76-76 with 10 games left in the season.



AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.






Big Brother was good last night. i'm pretty sure Cameron will be the first one evicted tonight. i really hope someone unexpected goes out with the second eviction tonight.


American Horror Story was very good last night. just enough paranoia to keep me interested throughout.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and NJPW.


the USWNT plays a friendly tonight against South Africa. it is Julie Ertz last match with the team.





the New York Giants play at the 49ers tonight. hopefully the few bets i have on that game are winners.


i will be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment in the afternoon. i know i need to pick up mom's pills after that. and Rite Aid just texted me, so i'll be going there before i get back home. joy.

not the day i was hoping for...

 so, i woke up this morning in pain, but i figured that would be the case. anytime the winter weather begins, my back decides it wants a fucking vacation. add on top of that the likelihood that i have COVID, and you can just imagine where my mind was drifting off to today. i guess mom is doing a little better but it is looking more likely, as of right now, that she will need home healthcare. it still looks like she will get discharged on Thursday. 


i was hoping to do my laundry today, but i knew that wasn't going to happen with my back feeling like this.


The Voice was pretty good last night. i have no damn clue who is going to get eliminated tonight.








Monday Night Raw was good last night.

the Dayton Flyers play late tonight out in Las Vegas at UNLV. Dayton is now ranked #21 in the country and are 4 point favorites tonight.


here are your NBA highlights from last night:




i know probably after the game i will get the trash out. hopefully, it won't be snowing when i do that.


it definitely is going to feel weird not going grocery shopping tomorrow. i'm hoping i will feel better than i do right now. i have been blessed with some crazy fucking gas in the last few hours. the kind where you sit on the toilet for hours and just listen to your stomach rumble. good times.


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


a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:





i really hope a stray missile today didn't mark the beginning of WWIII.

what a night in the Bronx

 so, i was a little pissed last night when the Yankees entered the bottom of the 9th trailing the Pirates, 8-4. but, Judge hit his 60th HR to start off the inning. that sent a jolt of electricity through the entire crowd. Rizzo doubled; Torres walked; Donaldson got on with a bloop single. and then came up Stanton, who hasn't hit worth a shit for months now. sure enough, he lined a walk off grand slam to left field and the Yankees won over Pittsburgh, 9-8. you talk about one of the more improbable wins ever, holy shit. now, every at bat for Judge will be a chance at history. i would love if he got 61 and 62 out of the way tonight.











NXT was excellent last night.












Deadliest Catch was good last night. the season finale is next week.


The Voice was very good last night.

the grocery shopping went pretty well today. it was hotter than shit, but i suppose that is how the last day of summer is supposed to be. there is supposed to be a massive cold front moving through tonight that will usher in temps in the 60's.


i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i might have to take mom somewhere tomorrow, but i'm not sure of that yet.


i'm really hoping the weather doesn't get too bad tonight.

one down, one to go...

 just got back home from mom's appointment. the place was way busier than i was hoping for. but, she did get her injection. i am really fucking hoping this gives her some relief from her pain. i got her a Frozen Coke at McDonald's on the way home. so, at least i know she is currently happy.


i've got a little bit to get a little lunch, write this blog and then go to my appointment. joy.


the Yankees won last night down at that dump in Tampa, 4-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.







the Lightning beat Colorado last night, 6-2, to win Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. once again, it isn't a series until a home team loses a game.

my order from Repacked Wax arrived today. i'll open those cards up when i get home from my doctor's appointment.


the first day of summer certainly didn't disappoint when it comes to heat and humidity. the real feel outside is around 100 degrees right now. i guess i'll put on some more Banana Boat (sunscreen lotion) before i leave.


i will be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.


of course, if i get a wild hair up my ass tonight and send some poems out, there might be a quick blog post around 2 or 3 in the morning. i am back to the old days of me doing my best work in the middle of the fucking night. good times.


that's all for me kids. my lunch of a granola bar and 7 Up Zero is nearly done.

let the madness begin...

 so tonight is Game 1 of the New York Rangers playoff series against Pittsburgh. i am so fucking pumped because i truly believe this team has a chance to do something special this season. hopefully, i won't be broken in two like other seasons.





mom's appointment went well today. they did find some pre-cancer on her cheek and the bridge of her nose. but, they believe this cream they are prescribing for her will take care of that in 10 days. the spot where she had surgery on looks really good.


i went to the bank this morning to make a deposit. of course, it had to be fucking raining today.


i did get my order from Walk Off Wax yesterday. the best card i got in the packs was a 1987 Fleer Bo Jackson card. that made me happy.


for any of you happy that the Supreme Court is most likely going to overturn Roe v. Wade, please answer me this question. how many kids are you planning to adopt? if the answer is 0, then you fucking should understand why abortion should always be legal. if we are going back to the days of bloody hangers in back alleys, i can't wait to see how crazy this shit is really going to get. and trust me, when the rich kids get raped, they will still get their abortions. 


American Song Contest was good last night. i can't wait for the finals.

and here comes winter again...

 well, i was glad i got the shopping done yesterday. today, winter came back. i think it was close to 40 degrees colder than yesterday was. fuck me.


the New York Rangers came from behind last night and defeated St. Louis, 5-3. that is one of those wins that gives me hope that this team has a long run in them when the playoffs come around.







AEW Dynamite was excellent last night. i about shit my pants when Tony Khan said he bought Ring of Honor. this is like the second and third biggest wrestling companies in the USA joining forces. if they do this right, it will be true competition for WWE.




mom just thought she was having a heart attack. she's not. but, i do know this is a fucking glimpse of my future now. good times.


I Can See Your Voice was good last night.


Snowfall was fucking fantastic last night.


the season (most likely series) finale of Batwoman last night was great.

i'm guessing at some point tomorrow mom is going to tell me what she forgot to put on the grocery list. i know i have to take her to physical therapy tomorrow. if i don't have to go shopping after that, i'll be on here most likely.


now, i need to figure out what the fuck i am making for dinner.
