yet another twist...

 so, i talked to Kroger today and i guess my insurance company denied the Rybelsus the doctor wanted to put me on instead of Trulicity. i have no damn clue what comes next. i'm trying to remain calm and have plenty of patience, but this shit is on my fucking nerves. as i joked with mom last week, my death solves so many things...

the Yankees lost last night at the Mets, 9-7. i hope they find a way to win tonight, but it is obvious, given all the injuries now, they probably won't.

i did watch some of the Copa America games last night and Euro 2024 games today. i am still shocked that Georgia beat Portugal today 2-0. i will probably watch some of the Copa America games tonight.

NXT was very good last night.

Deadliest Catch was very good last night as well.

i was hoping to get all of the grocery shopping done before the rain started today. it started to sprinkle as i was on my way home. right now, it is fucking pouring. 

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and NJPW.

i do plan on watching the NBA Draft tonight. i am very interested to see where DaRon Holmes II goes. he is supposed to be drafted in the first round. if he is, he will be the 4th player from Dayton to achieve that.

i should be on here tomorrow in the morning, before mom has physical therapy in the afternoon.

i have no clue what i'm making for dinner tonight. i do have plenty of options though.

that's all for me kids.

until tomorrow...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay off the fucking streets.

get the fucking shot.

otro giro más

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

well, at least i got it all done before the rain started...

 i went to the bank today, the post office and then to Rite Aid to get my prescription. i was in the parking lot when i got text from mom saying that her pills were ready at Kroger and she had cancelled physical therapy today. so, i went back to Kroger to get those. after that, i went back home. it has been trying to rain all day long. just in the last few hours, it has finally started.

the New York Yankees came from behind yesterday and beat the Texas Rangers, 5-3. they are off tonight and start a series tomorrow at Oakland.

AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door last night was fucking great.

VICE was excellent last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was fucking hilarious last night.

really didn't need that afternoon thunderstorm...

i woke up this morning after another shitty 5 hours of sleep dreaming about my high school crush. my imagination is going through this phase of playing the greatest hits again. i don't try to intervene, just sit back and see where the show goes. kind of like insanity in a way, hoping something different happens at the end. welcome to 2020.

today has been one of those days where i haven't bothered to fucking do much. mom has been bitching at the television all day long. i get the feeling if the asshole gets reelected, she's going to die screaming at the news. i'm not sure why she bothers anymore. it's all bullshit.

NXT UK was pretty good last night.

the season finale of Shelter in Place with Shane Smith was excellent last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows. they are off until after the 4th of July.

Holey Moley was hilarious last night.

Don't was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after Manchester United plays in the FA Cup. they should win, but should isn't as reliable as it used to be these days.

i have no clue what we're doing for dinner tonight. might be some fish. might be some ribs. i try to be a decent son and let mom pick what she wants. she's usually passive aggressive about everything these days. all that means is the asshole in me gets to come out more. joy.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. hard to believe the end of June is coming soon.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

while i should have been asleep...

i mailed out 9 poems this morning. as in morning, i mean having a creative outburst around 3 in the morning. i sent 4 to Hobo Camp Review and 5 to The Writing Disorder. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the New York Yankees won last night over Toronto, 4-3. they hit 4 solo home runs, which set the new MLB record for consecutive games with a home run. hopefully, they will get the sweep this afternoon.

in Gold Cup action last night, Jamaica and Curacao finished 1-1 and Honduras knocked out El Salvador 4-0. tonight, Trinidad & Tobago take on Guyana and Panama and the USA will face each other to see who wins the group. the winner takes on Curacao in the start of the knockout rounds.

the Women's World Cup has reached the final 8. tomorrow, Norway takes on England. on Friday, France plays the USA. and on Saturday, Italy plays the Netherlands and Germany takes on Sweden.

Smackdown was pretty good last night, as was 205 Live.

Deadliest Catch was crazy last night.

Songland was very good last night.

Big Brother was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, True Justice: Bryan Stevenson's Fight For Equality, Big Brother and two episodes of The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT and NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i forgot how backwards the city i live in is on my drive to the post office this morning. nothing quite like seeing someone proudly putting up their confederate flag. the ignorance in this town makes no fucking sense to me.

i go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon. i'm sure i will be told i need to go back on the one medication or be given a new medication as my blood sugar numbers have completely gone to shit. i will probably be back on here after that tomorrow. joy.

the feels like temperature was already to 90 before noon today. so yeah, i'll most likely be indoors for most of the rest of the day.

until tomorrow kids...

well, i still have it...

so when i was able to have some sexy fun time late last night/early this morning with a beautiful black woman in Rome, i was a little surprised that i still had the gift. my imagination still knows how to paint a picture with words and excite someone else. and from the pictures i have seen, it figures god would punish me and make sure my dream woman lives so damn far away from me. but, i'm really not the kind of guy that will shy away from a challenge. i figure i still have a few years to live, might as well swing the bat.

i wrote 7 poems last night. you can imagine what those were about. i really like a few of them. i do need to get some poems lined up to send out here soon.

here is your World Cup update:
Iran and Portugal finished 1-1 yesterday. Spain and Morocco finished 2-2. that meant Spain won Group B and Portugal finished second. this morning, Peru beat Australia 2-0 and France and Denmark played a repulsive 0-0 draw. France wins Group C and Denmark finishes second. this afternoon, Nigeria plays Argentina. Argentina must win to advance out of the group stage. Iceland plays Croatia. i'm expecting both games to be pretty entertaining.

the New York Yankees ended their losing streak last night, defeating Philadelphia 4-2. they play again tonight.

Monday Night Raw was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Jim Jefferies Show and Deadliest Catch. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i did happen to watch the WWE UK special yesterday. it was very good. hopefully day 2 of it will be good this afternoon.

i guess the doctor told mom yesterday she has an infection in her back. i went to the store last night to pick up her mom's prescriptions. they ordered her a different cough medicine as well. we go to her hip doctor tomorrow for a follow up.

fuck, it just started storming here like a motherfucker. hello pain, my name is J.J. let's go for a ride.

well, hopefully it will stop so i won't have to do the damn trash in this shit.

that's all for me kids.

a new week with old problems...

first off, let's get the poetry news out of the way. i heard back from Nerve Cowboy on my poetry submission from back in February. they decided to pass on the poems. at least they did apologize for the delay in their response.

i also wrote 3 more poems last night. i got on a wild brainstorm last night while watching Twin Peaks. more on that later. i typed up the poems this morning and really, really liked them. i'm shooting for sending out another round of submissions in the next couple of days.

Old Timer's Day yesterday was a good dose of nostalgia. and sadly, it was more entertaining than most of the Yankees game yesterday. Texas got up 7-0 before the Yankees did anything. they ended up losing 7-6. oh well. thankfully, the division sucks this year and the Yankees, losers of their last 10 out of 12, are still tied for first place. they start a series tonight in Chicago against the White Sox.

the Confederations Cup went pretty much how i thought it would yesterday. Germany defeated Cameroon 3-1 and Chile did just enough to advance in a 1-1 draw with Australia. that sets up the semifinals of Portugal vs. Chile and Germany vs. Mexico. that should be a nice preview of potential World Cup matches next year.

the season finale of Veep last night was hilarious.

the season finale of Silicon Valley was really good.

Last Week Tonight was excellent as always.

it figured that Nine Inch Nails would perform on one of the most surreal episodes of Twin Peaks EVER. thank god i could pause the television. the brainstorm on top of the mindfuck was coming at me a thousand miles per hour. i needed the break just to compose thoughts to be able to write them down for a poem.

I'm Dying Up Here was pretty funny last night.

Power was excellent last night. i can't wait to see where this season goes.

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 might check out the NBA Awards tonight for shits and giggles.

i will be on here early tomorrow as mom's physical therapy appointment got moved to tomorrow afternoon.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
