it has been on and off rain today. this is supposed to be the last rain we get before it goes back into the 90's for the next few days. joy.
the Yankees lost last night at Atlanta, 2-0. thank god they are off tonight. they start a series at home against Boston tomorrow night.
AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.
Big Brother was good last night. i think Reilly will be evicted tonight. of course, since there is a NFL game tonight on CBS, i won't see the show until 1 in the morning.
i did do some poetry work last night. i have a pretty good feeling where my next 16 poems are going to be submitted to. if all goes well, that batch of poems will be going out tomorrow afternoon.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, NJPW and What We Do in the Shadows.
a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poem:
so, i was standing in line at Kroger today, waiting to check out and this old lady came up behind me. she asked me if this was the only line open. i said yeah, no other lines open, just like always. and then, within a few minutes, 2 checkout lanes opened and i was like holy shit. the old lady had gone to get in line at the self checkout. i got behind this old man trying his best to get what was in his cart onto the conveyor belt, i thought he was going to have a heart attack. thankfully, he didn't. i ended up saving over $35 at Kroger today. between that, Rite Aid and the local grocery store, i got everything that was on the grocery list.
the Yankees actually scored last night, but still lost to Tampa Bay, 3-1. they have called up three kids from the minors today. hopefully, that will give them a spark. the lead in the division is now down to 9 games.
NXT was awesome last night.
Deadliest Catch was really good last night.
What We Do in the Shadows was fucking hilarious last night.
Hard Knocks was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.
team USA plays Czech Republic tonight in the quarterfinals of the World Juniors. so far today, Finland and Sweden have advanced to the semifinals.
i should be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has an appointment with her foot doctor in the afternoon. so, hopefully, i'll be able to get the blog done before i have to take her to that.
a big thank you to everyone that has checked out my latest published poems:
i forgot the Yankees play a day night doubleheader today against the Red Sox. so, instead of trying to squeeze the blog in when i get home today, i'm just going to do it now.
the Yankees defeated the Angels last night, 2-1. all the runs came in the first inning. next up on the homestand is 3 games against the Red Sox. if the Yankees can somehow win all 3 games, they will be in a wildcard position by 1/2 game. hopefully, they pull it off.
Monday Night Raw was good last night. SummerSlam is this Saturday.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, Deadliest Catch and Hard Knocks.
they are repairing the foundation to the house next door. thankfully, i am up before the drilling begins at 8 AM. mom's oxygen drowns it out for her.
i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.
i'm hoping mom's doctor's appointment goes well today. i think she wants to know if she can get the injections into her spine again after her congestive heart failure. i'm hoping the doctor says yes as she is in pain every day now. between her spinal stenosis, bad left hip, arthritis and her Meniere's Disease, i can understand why she sleeps all the time and is trying to take the hardest drugs she can find around the house.
until tomorrow kids...

fuck racism.
fuck hatred.

maybe i shouldn't use the word hate, but it's not like i am a reasonable person at 44. especially on a day where it feels like i am 3 hours behind where i wanted to be. hell, Manchester United pissed me off so much yesterday i didn't even bother to check my damn email. imagine my surprise when i got on this afternoon after running around for hours trying to get everything mom needed, and there was 500 emails to go through. yes, i'm voting for Biden, no, i'm not watching the convention, no, i can't send you $5, etc. etc. etc.
so yeah, let's get that shit show from yesterday out of the way. Manchester United lost to Sevilla, 2-1. that means they lost their 3rd semi-final match of their season. and their season is now over. if United would have been clinical and ruthless yesterday, they probably would have won 8-2 or so. they fucking had 20 damn chances at goal and only scored from the penalty spot. Sevilla had 2 chances the entire match. enough said. United needs to buy a new central defender, a new striker that is ruthless and get some bench players the coach actually believes in. the subs didn't come on until the 86th minute yesterday. fucking ridiculous.
the Yankees beat the Red Sox last night, 4-2. they go for the sweep tonight. the game just started.
Big Brother was good last night.
The Chi was excellent last night. a great HOLY SHIT ending to set up the season finale next week.
We Hunt Together was very good last night.
Lovecraft Country was fucking great last night.
Last Week Tonight was brilliant as always.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Axios and I May Destroy You. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.
so, i had to go to the bank today to deposit a check. the bank i normally go to was fucking closed for some reason. so, i had to drive to the next town over to go to the bank. no big deal. i go inside, tell the woman i'm depositing the check and i need my balance. she deposits the check and never gives me my balance. i told her i needed the balance twice. by this time, i'm pissed. i take the receipt and leave, muttering to myself how much i fucking can't stand people. i go to the dollar store a few doors down because we need Glade spray and mom saw an ad for the pens she likes. the dollar store had neither. great. i had to drive 20 minutes to get $200 out of the ATM at my mother's bank. i figured i would just drive back to where i live and go to the dollar store there. they didn't have the pens, but they did have the Glade spray and some Lysol wipes, which i haven't seen in months. so, i went to Rite-Aid across the street and found the damn pens. i also picked up myself a pack of baseball cards, which i am really happy i did. i found a numbered Joe Morgan card in it and a Jackie Robinson card, as well as a Mike Trout card. that brightened this shitty day, for sure.
the NBA playoffs started today. with that and the NHL playoffs going on, i will have plenty of sports to watch these days.
i hope everyone had a great weekend, if such a thing is fucking possible anymore.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...
fight the power.
fuck racism.
fuck hatred.
fuck the police.

i found out after i got the blog done yesterday about the death of Peter Fonda. i'm happy that Jane said he went out laughing. we all deserve that i suppose. rest in peace.
my mother's stubbornness got the better of her once again last night. she was getting food out from the oven and of course, instead of asking me to help her, she spilled some of the contents onto the bottom of our new oven. i just looked at her and said i wonder if you'll actually learn to ask for help before you die? i believe we both know that answer is no.
the New York Yankees won last night against Cleveland, 3-2. they played a much better game than the night before. hopefully that continues this afternoon.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be NJPW and ROH.
mom wanted breakfast from McDonald's this morning. she was hoping it would make her shit. so far, it's been a success.
if i have some time this afternoon, i think i'll try to get my ass in gear and get some poems out. i have a few places in mind.
i'll be on here in the morning tomorrow.
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:
i woke up this morning with a whole damn poem on my lips right as my eyes opened. that told me i had probably been partly awake for at least 30 minutes or so. and of course, this morning was nothing but rain, thunder and lightning. 1.5 inches of rain. i did type up the poem during that time. yes, i am a glutton for punishment. i do love the poem. it's part dream, part reality of my fear of ever meeting the muse in person.
i believe it was black women in tight jeans day at the grocery store. good thing i shaved before i went i suppose. of course, i was still in enough pain that i didn't enjoy the stunning views as much as i should have.
the New York Yankees were trailing yesterday 3-1 going into the bottom of the ninth. the Yankees then loaded the bases with nobody out. other than a double play, they could have just made solid contact and tied the game with two outs. instead, a first pitch pop up and two strikeouts by swinging at pitches nowhere near the strike zone was how the game ended. i was just looking at the tv mumbling, did any of you fuckers understand a walk would have got a run in there? just fucking awful. so, Tampa won 3-1 and won the series. the Yankees are going to fuck around and either have to play the wild card game on the road or miss the fucking playoffs completely. they start a series tonight at home against Toronto.
Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.
Big Brother went as i expected last night. Rockstar was voted out 5-1. of course, she didn't see it coming. her side of the house has been the dumbest group of players i have seen on Big Brother maybe ever. and i believe they won HOH again last night. and if all i'm seeing is correct, they want to get out one of their own this week. they might as well just hand the money over to Tyler or Brett or Angela at this point.
Snowfall was excellent last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW, Major League Wrestling, Real Time with Bill Maher and Random Acts of Flyness.
the New Orleans Saints play tonight at home against the Arizona Cardinals. i'll probably follow the game a little online.
i believe there is another round of storms that are supposed to roll through here tonight. i'm hoping that's not the case, but mother nature rarely fucking listens to me.
i will probably do a little poetry work tonight while watching the shows. i've had a few requests for poems, which is always a nice change of pace for me. instead of being a desperate whore, i'm a requested whore.
i hope everyone has a great weekend. i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow, at least before the Yankees play in the early afternoon.
al final, no somos más que putas

so, here i am yet again, starting a fucking blog off with another fucking terrorist attack. this is one thing i do agree with conservatives on. radical Islamic terrorism must be ended. but, unlike the conservatives, i don't think every fucking Muslim is a fucking terrorist. it's beyond obvious that the only way this government thinks they can beat Isis is through absolute force. how is that working out? i suppose you can't win a war for hearts and minds when your President doesn't have one. personally, i don't think there is much difference between Isis and the fucking Nazis. and i'm way too old and too fucking cynical now to believe love will ever win. i know that's the goal, but i'm a fucking realist. all i can do is treat people the way i would love for them to treat me. i would love to live in a peaceful world at least once before i die. i won't be holding my fucking breath. my thoughts are with Barcelona tonight. mucha fuerza mis amigos.
i see some of the GOP have found their nuts today. good job.
the New York Yankees won again last night, 5-3. Aaron Judge hit a mammoth home run last night. of course, he set a strikeout record as well. they will go for the sweep of the Mets tonight.
Big Brother was pretty funny last night. Cody will be the first one evicted tonight. i don't think the tv audience will get to see who wins the next HOH and the VETO competition and the next eviction until tomorrow night. hopefully there are some damn fireworks for a double eviction night.
Mr. Mercedes was fucking great last night.
Snowfall was fucking brilliant last night. easily, one of the best shows on television right now.
Lucha Underground was amazing last night. the matches were excellent and the brawl to end the show was fucking great. next week should be incredible.
NXT was very good last night. Takeover Brooklyn III should be great on Saturday night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Weekend Update and The Chris Gethard Show.
i wrote 3 poems this afternoon. i figured it was raining and i was in pain. so, i might as well try to squeeze a little creativity out of that. the first poem was a long ass one i had bottled up in me since the weekend. i'm not sure where i'll ever send that epic, but i'd love to see it get published somewhere. the other 2 were pretty good as well. i'm still on a good pace for the month. hopefully, i'll have another writing session and then another round of submissions in the next week or so.
Real Madrid thoroughly outplayed Barcelona yesterday to win 2-0 and win the Spanish Super Cup. given the players that weren't playing for Real Madrid, they are going to be a fucking scary team this year in the Champions League.
i didn't go to the grocery store today. i figure i will go tomorrow after mom's next eye appointment. i believe tomorrow is the measurement day to see what kind of new lens she can get for her eyes.
that's all for me today kids.

as mom was confusing herself with math last night, trying to figure out how the 4 things she wants to hang on the wall in the hallway are going to fit together, it suddenly dawned on her that we actually need a working power drill to hang these things. i was pleasantly shocked. i gladly helped hang some little things last night; stuff that only needed a hammer or just brute force. thankfully, we were done by the time all the Sunday night shows were starting.
Big Brother was good last night. The Brink and Ballers were excellent. their season finales are next week. The Strain was fucking great. Ray Donovan was good. Masters of Sex was good. i also watched that Ed Sheeran special on NBC last night. i enjoyed it, mostly because of the behind the scenes shit. finally, Last Week Tonight hit another home run. John's argument certainly points out all the reasons i gave up on church. enjoy kids:
the New York Yankees lost yesterday 3-1. for some reason the offense doesn't show up when Severino pitches. he's pitched well enough to be 3-0 in his 3 major league starts. oh well. they are still in first place. they start a long home stand tonight against the Twins. it's also the start of Hope Week. hopefully it's like previous hope weeks and the Yankees start a nice long winning streak.
while the Yankees were doing nothing yesterday, i flipped over to watch the USA women absolutely destroy Costa Rica in a soccer friendly. here are 3 of the 8 goals they scored yesterday to win 8-0.
anyone else in the mood for some music:
and for shits and giggles, some art:
tonight on the DVR will be Men in Blazers. i will spend most of tonight watching Monday Night Raw while wishing for the pain from my arthritis to cease for a few minutes. there's been rain in the area all day long and it has been excruciating at times. good times.
i will be on here tomorrow sometime after Manchester United plays the first leg of their match in the Champions League. hopefully i will be enjoying a victory beer while i'm writing tomorrow.
i hope everyone had a great Sunday. hopefully your whole weekend was good. one of our solar lights died over the weekend. i guess i shouldn't have put it near a plant that produces a sap of sorts. i opened it up thinking i just needed to change the battery. imagine my surprise when everything was covered in this brown goo.
i got some FREE music on NoiseTrade today. the link will be below in the music section.

when i saw the guy who farms out here mowing the parts of the farm i don't/can't mow today, i simply muttered he's fucking nuts. it's been close to 90 degrees since 10 this morning. and the humidity has to be somewhere close to a level where you'd be willing to kill someone for air conditioning. thankfully, the only time i went out today was to feed the animals. and the cats were really feeling the heat. i'm not sure the young ones have been through anything like this as this damn summer has been closer to fall than anything. we've now gone nearly 2 months without any significant amount of rain. supposedly, that's going to end tonight. although, the damn weather people haven't got shit right all summer.
Monday Night Raw last night was excellent. even my mother, who quite frankly, hates professional wrestling, was entertained with the main event last night. hopefully the WWE doesn't run Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins into the ground over the next few years. that's a rivalry i'd like to see go on for decades. overall, a really good show. the 3 hours flew by. always a good sign. amazingly, a great show without John Cena... hopefully the powers that be take a fucking hint for a change.
i was a little bummed out today when i heard the news that Braxton Miller re-injured his shoulder and is going to miss the upcoming season for Ohio State. i guess we'll find out just how good of a coach Urban Meyer really is now. i've got a feeling this is going to be one long ass season.
the Yankees play a pretty much MUST WIN game tonight at home against Houston. hopefully they actually show some urgency and start burying teams early in these games. of course, they haven't done that all season, so i do realize how foolish it is for me to expect it to happen now. i would love to enjoy a victory beer later this evening.
also tonight, i'll be watching the new episodes of Tyrant and Hard Knocks on HBO.
tomorrow i have to start getting my fantasy football shit back in order. the college season starts pretty damn soon.
if it does storm like it is supposed to do tonight, i might try to get some pictures of the aftermath. at worst, i'm hoping i get some poems out of it.
spent most of this afternoon flipping between the Champions League playoffs and some porn. it will feel a little strange not to see Manchester United playing in the Champions League this season.
that's all for today folks. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your day.

i woke up this morning to a fog so thick you couldn't see the road from the house. hell, you could only see the first power pole and not the other three going down the lane. hopefully it will not be like that tomorrow morning as mom needs to hit the road before dawn. guess i'll worry about that tomorrow.
got some really great music yesterday on NoiseTrade. especially considering i had only heard of one of the bands i got. i'll include some links to the FREE music down below in the music section.
the Yankees finally got a win yesterday, 3-2. i only watched the last 2 innings, so i will probably continue that today hoping they can win the series. i did enjoy that Jeter got the winning hit after almost being hit with a pitch. good times.
ROH last night was excellent. i was hoping they were going to show the post match speech from Kevin Steen, but they didn't. i urge anyone who likes pro wrestling to check out this episode whenever you can.
i did watch a little UFC last night and some Mexican soccer. mostly, it was flipping through channels and then just turning on Dateline for my mother and getting on the computer. i've been trying to check my emails more regularly as i have been getting more survey invites than usual here lately. and since that is how i try to help pay bills and Christmas for my loved ones... i've got to figure out how i'm paying for my sister's birthday gifts without going below my oh shit point in my checking account.
tonight should be another busy night of television. Big Brother, Ray Donovan, The Strain, Last Week Tonight, and Masters of Sex.
i've got the trash out and the animals fed so far today. i can feel some rain coming, so i think i will wait until i am in complete misery to do the dishes. i suppose today will be a test of my pain tolerance.
i'm trying to convince my mother that we should move out of state when we leave the farm. i don't think i'm going to win this battle.
that's all for me today. hope you enjoy the poems i got published late last night. 3 pretty sad ones. the way these days are going here lately, there's plenty more of that to come.
be well. be cool. be creative. be sure to enjoy the end of the weekend. be quick to send me CASH, panties, love letters, hate mail, broken promises, and old pennies from heaven.
after 130 games, i don't think i can call anything a trend or just a bad streak. things are simply the way they are by now. after watching the Yankees lose a series to a team that had won 6 of their last 28 games, i have resigned myself to a few things. this team can't do anything fucking easy. they can't get big hits when they need them. they can't get runners over. all the injuries have role players becoming platoon players and in other words, being in spots where they can't succeed. that's really a case of bad fucking luck more than anything. but , sadly, even with that, they can't blow teams out. they can't score runs to expand leads late in games. and they are the only fucking team not to win when trailing after 8 innings this season. the only fucking one. when you only have 3 reliable starters that aren't injured and only 2 reliable relievers who don't have arms made out of rubber, more games than not are going to be tricky to say the least with all these elements involved. they are off tomorrow. tongue in cheek i tell you, they have been off for over a month now. if Baltimore stays hot, the weekend series will basically be for the division lead. i will give the Yankees credit. it's really fucking hard to piss away a 10 game lead in a division. they are close enough now to taste it.
these are the days where i'd rather stick a rusty fork in my eyes than breathe.
so what was a really nice, sunny, low humidity, comfortable late August day has now turned into a pissed off fuck the world what the fuck do you want day. i won't kid myself into thinking tomorrow will be any better.
