a decent night of sleep...

 i think i know the reason i got a decent night of sleep finally. i think the crack in my wall let some light in. thank you Leonard Cohen for that line. i know it was only a little over 4 hours, but it felt like a deep fucking sleep. emphasis on fucking of course.

i wrote 3 more poems last night for the book. i'm up to 20 now for the book, half way there. i'm really hoping i can get to 40 before my birthday. that would be impressive, at least to me.

the Dayton Flyers lost last night at UMass, 76-72. another awful case of playing down to their competition and paying for it. all that good work they did in the non-conference part of their season has gone to waste.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Inside the NFL was very good last night.

Abbott Elementary was fucking hilarious last night.

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

Notre Dame plays Penn State tonight in the semifinals of the college football playoff.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against the Devils. 

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

i know we're supposed to get 2 to 4 inches of snow tomorrow. joy.

that's all for me today kids. i need to go get started on dinner. meatloaf sandwiches on sourdough bread.

best of luck to all the gamblers tonight.

until tomorrow.

 for every USA soccer fan, they know exactly what that means. and i'm sure every fan of the Mexican national team is sick of it. tough shit. the USMNT defeated Mexico last night, 2-0, to win their 3rd straight Concacaf Nations League title.

i got 11 out of the sweet 16 in the NCAA tournament. not as good as i wanted and not as bad as i feared.

there is a storm brewing inside of my head...

 i had a conversation with the spanish princess the other night that has had quite the lasting impression on my brain. i've been trying to cobble a poem together and i have a few words strung together and then the engine just quits working. so, there is this tension brewing, and i know damn well the only way to "fix" it is with an explosion. so, i'm bracing for that and hoping i can get most of it down on the blank page. welcome to life as a poet. especially when you haven't quite figured out how to get out of your own fucking way.

the Yankees lost yesterday at the Royals, 5-2. they finished the season 82-80.and of course, it looks like most of the coaches will be back next season, so i guess they are now the living embodiment of insanity.

the New Orleans Saints lost at home yesterday to Tampa Bay, 26-9. thank god i didn't see much of the game.

Big Brother was good last night.

Billions was excellent last night.

Power Book IV: Force was crazy last night.

i did take mom to the foot doctor today. after that, she wanted to go to JoAnn Fabrics. she found a few things she wanted. 

i will probably watch a little of the NFL game tonight between Seattle and the Giants.

mom moved her doctor's appointment tomorrow morning until an afternoon in November. so, maybe i'll actually get some writing done tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays in the Champions League.

the gambler's christmas day...

 i always have thought of the first Sunday of the NFL season as the day all the gamblers start licking their lips and scheming how to make some money. being one of those degenerates now, i like think i have a good plan and i won't get too greedy. of course, if i win a couple hundred dollars today, all bets are off. hell, i don't bet enough to win a couple hundred dollars on any day. honestly, any day i win more than i bet is a good one. those days don't come around much.

Ohio State defeated Youngstown State yesterday, 35-7. i think the QB job should be settled now. and it was nice to see Marvin Harrison Jr. go off once again.

the USMNT defeated Uzbekistan yesterday 3-0. the 2 late goals make the score look way better than what it really was. this looked like what they have always looked like under Gregg Berhalter. just good enough to beat shit teams and never good enough to beat anyone good.

the Yankees lost to the Brewers yesterday, 9-2. they will try to avoid the sweep this afternoon. at least the Old Timer's Day events brought back some good memories.

i did watch plenty of college football yesterday.

here are your MLS highlights from last night:

AEW Collision was excellent last night.

time to grow the playoff beard...

 if all goes well, i won't be shaving again until sometime in June. now, i started doing this back in the 90's and got to see one glorious run to the Stanley Cup in 1994. the beard i can grow now is light years better than what i could grow back then. that is saying something since i have been shaving since the age of 12. so, i hope tonight the New York Rangers start the journey to winning another Stanley Cup.

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

the NBA playoffs were good last night:

the NHL playoffs were excellent last night:

the joys of never ending pain...

 we got some more snow today. nothing like they are getting in the Northeast, but more than i want in the middle of fucking March. the contractor did get mostly done today. for some fucking reason, mom told him not to bother with the cardboard, that i would put it in the recycling tonight. i guess she didn't know there was 4 boxes full of shit left in the garage. that took me a hour to get through. my back will be total shit now for the rest of the week. joy.

i never made it to Rite Aid today, so i guess that will be my first stop tomorrow.

anger is a gift...

 the Yankees pissed me off so damn much last night, i ended up writing 4 poems. of course, that also meant, i didn't get to sleep until 5 in the morning. so yeah, everything is running behind today. good times.

the Yankees lost to Seattle last night, 1-0, in 13 innings. the horrific baserunning the Yankees had in extra innings might have set baseball back 50 fucking years. just fucking awful. and given the number of times their bullpen saved them, you can say that shitty baserunning cost them the game. they will go for the series win this afternoon, but i'm not holding my breath.

the USA world juniors team defeated Germany last night, 5-1. they outshot Germany 50-11. 

NXT was really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.

Hard Knocks was really good last night.

mom has an appointment this afternoon at her heart doctor. 

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

if i get a wild hair up my ass, i might send the poems out today. if not, i'll be sending out some submissions before the weekend.

i got a few hours of sleep in my bed last night and then of course, my back started to ache like a motherfucker. after that, i got close to 3 hours of sleep in my massage chair with ice on my back.

i believe the MLS All Star game is tonight. i might watch some of that.

i need to get some things done before i take mom to her appointment, so that's all for me kids.

the humidity actually broke for a bit...

 i went out this morning to pull weeds and feed the birds. it actually felt pretty good out there for a change. the humidity wasn't stifling. of course, it was also before 8 AM. so, between doing all that and watering the tomato plants, my back was screaming by late morning. while icing it down, i decided to binge the rest of season 2 of We Hunt Together. i think it was pretty good and clearly, they wrote the finale hoping there would be a season 3.

the Yankees lost last night in Boston, 6-5 in 10 innings. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

got my flu shot today...

 so, my A1C is up, which i kind of expected. i've been doing some stress eating here lately. now, my weight isn't up, so i have somehow pulled that off. i did get my flu shot today. the assistant that gave it to me stuck the shit out of me. i want to believe she was attracted to me, but that is probably just wishful thinking. now, the woman at the front desk that said i looked like a movie star, i'm pretty sure that was more than just being nice. after all of that, i had to go to Kroger to pick up my pills and my mother's eye drops. thank fucking god i don't do my grocery shopping on Fridays anymore.

i got to the appointment early, so i stopped at the Rite Aid nearby and got a box of baseball cards. there was about $20 worth of cards in it. that made me happy.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Tiffany was evicted first and then Hannah was evicted. i almost feel sorry for Azah as she has now figured out that the guys are working together.

When Nature Calls was fucking hilarious last night.

NXT UK was very good last night.

What We Do in the Shadows was fucking crazy last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was about the plane ride from hell last night.

i did watch some of the USWNT destroy Paraguay last night, 9-0. Carli Lloyd had 5 goals in the game. i guess her retirement tour has started rather nicely.

the NFL game last night was what happens when two shitty teams face each other. Washington won 30-29.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees lost to Baltimore last night, 3-2 in 10 innings. they finished 11-8 against the Orioles this season. in contrast, Tampa went 18-1 against them. if the Yankees don't make the playoffs, they should know exactly why. they start a series tonight against Cleveland. i almost give a shit.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before Ohio State plays in the afternoon.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

 i'm not a big fan of getting up before the sun does. of course, my mind doesn't exactly let me sleep much anymore. i can't turn off the genius switch. so, probably like yesterday... less than 4 hours in the bed and i'll get a good 1 or 2 while in my massage chair. good times.

the Yankees lost yesterday to Baltimore, 4-3. i was not a happy camper after that one. their lead to host the wild card game is now down to 1/2 game. joy. they better fucking win today.

i did watch some college football games yesterday.

ROH was very good last night.

the USMNT takes on Canada tonight down in Nashville for the second round of World Cup qualifying. hopefully, the boys will get a victory tonight.

i believe it rained most of the night, so there's another reason why i probably didn't sleep much. add in some nerve pain, and...

hard to believe that tomorrow is Labor Day. 

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