odds and ends...

 i know i mentioned something the other day about wanting to redo my room. well, the problem is i actually measured, and what i wanted to do isn't going to work. so, back to the drawing board. yesterday was pretty crazy. i did get a poem written late last night. i was pretty happy about that.

the Yankees won yesterday at home against the Red Sox, 14-4. Ben Rice became the first Yankees rookie to hit 3 HR in the same game. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were crazy. England defeated Switzerland on penalty kicks, 5-3. Netherlands defeated Turkey, 2-1. so, in the semifinals, Spain will play France and England takes on Netherlands.

at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia crushed Panama, 5-0. Uruguay beat Brazil 4-2 on penalty kicks. so, in the semifinals, Canada plays Argentina and Colombia takes on Uruguay.

WWE Money in the Bank was really good last night.

AEW Collision was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Power Book II: Ghost.

i will be watching NXT Heatwave for most of the night on Peacock.

i know i need to vacuum the house today and feed the birds. i'm hoping it won't be really humid outside.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her podiatrist.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

so i tried something different last night...

 i decided to take a shower before i went to bed last night, hoping it would help me sleep better. nope. i got up after roughly 4 hours of sleep and have been up since. i suppose i will get the sleep i need when i die.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final last night:

the Euro 2020 games yesterday were crazy. Spain defeated Croatia, 5-3 in extra time. Switzerland eliminated France on penalty kicks, 3-3 (5-4).  i can't fucking believe France is out. today, England plays Germany and Sweden takes on Ukraine.

at the Copa America last night, Argentina defeated Bolivia, 4-1. Uruguay beat Paraguay, 1-0. the quarterfinals are now set. Peru plays Paraguay. Brazil takes on Chile. Uruguay plays Colombia. Argentina plays Ecuador. 

the Yankees lost to the Angels last night, 5-3. nothing like your manager telling everyone your season is on the line and you go out and lay an egg.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, Deadliest Catch and Mr. Inbetween.

i will probably watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight as well.

since i have no trash to pickup today next door (i think the house is just about sold now) after the Euro 2020 games are over, i'll do that around here.

it's another hot and muggy day here. i think the feels like temp is close to 100 now.

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

stay socially distant.

when pain meets anger on a Wednesday afternoon...

 i didn't get much sleep last night. i got in bed around 2 and i think the first time i saw the clock it was 3:10. fuck me. i got up and i was in pain this morning. that's the joy of having a bad back. some days, it will just fuck with you for the sake of fucking with you. i put a little ice on it late morning, after breakfast, hoping it would help before i had to do the grocery shopping. of course, when i am in a ton of pain, the ice will eventually put me to sleep. the phone rang a little after noon. i only know that because mom left the phone by her chair in the living room and the ringer is all the way up since she's basically deaf now. so, i definitely woke up from that. i would put a number on the pain around 7. and given my high tolerance for pain, 7 is around 15 for "normal" people. and that's on a scale of 1-10. so, this was how i went out into the world today.

the first grocery store was fine. i can't fucking stand white people that don't wear a mask because their leader told them they don't have to. i live in a town so far up Trump's ass, i'm bound to destroy someone just because. the second grocery store was a fucking zoo. too many people without a mask on while coughing. thank god i already got my fucking flu shot. bad enough on the way there, this fucking guy with Texas plates was doing his little Sunday drive. doing 40 in a 50. took everything i had not to run that fucker off the road. and then of course, the cheese my mother wanted needed to have a price check on it. there's 5 minutes i'll never get back. did i mention it was raining and i fucking have arthritis? these are the days where my death can't come soon enough. but it gets better.

i got home and got the groceries put away, in time to start watching some of the Champions League. and just as i kick back in my chair to ice my back, the fuckers come to finally pick up the recycling. and of course, they drop some of what was in our container in the street and leave the fucking container open, so the rain can collect in it. as i said loud enough for the dead to even fucking hear it before i left the house, i can't start killing people fast enough. i swear, if just 10% of the stupid people on this planet could be eliminated, it would be a much fucking better place.

The Voice was good last night.

i might have watched 30 seconds or so of the World Series last night. i truly can't give a shit.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, AEW and Big Brother.

so, Manchester United defeated PSG yesterday, 2-1 in the Champions League. i really hope this is a sign of positive things to come for the boys. they play Chelsea this weekend.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. all i'm really fucking hoping is my back isn't killing me tomorrow. or, i have found the right illegal drugs to take away the pain. none of the legal shit does anything for me anymore. good times.

until tomorrow kids.

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

imagine if i could sleep more than 4 hours a night...

it never fails. i went to bed around around 2:30 last night. sure enough, 6:30 this morning i was out of bed to go to the bathroom. i knew i wasn't going to fall back asleep, so i took my blood sugar, got the morning paper and decided to try and actually write some poems. thankfully, i wrote 4 poems this morning. i typed those up and i am pretty pleased with how they came out.

i know i should have more poems to type up soon as i will be stuck in the Highlander over in Indiana when mom is having her oral surgery done. so, i'm looking to get some poems out next weekend i imagine.

the Yankees lost again last night, 6-1 to Baltimore. when Gerrit Cole struck out 8 of the first 9 batters he faced, there would have been no way to convince me this would end up being another game in the loss column for him. the Yankees offense is fucking inept at the moment. they will try to split the series this afternoon.

i did watch the Kentucky Derby yesterday. i was a little surprised to see Authentic win.

ROH was pretty good last night.

i actually got enough sleeves this time to get all my baseball, hockey, basketball and football cards ready to be sold. now, i just need to put them in some fucking order and get the word out.

i don't have a clue when i will be on here tomorrow.

it certainly doesn't feel like Labor Day weekend, that's for sure.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

of course, the weather forecast was wrong...

it was supposed to be a quiet day, with the snow stopping by early this afternoon. that didn't exactly happen, as it is still fucking snowing at the moment. and i'm running behind. i'm not exactly looking forward to going out in this shit to do the trash next door. joy.

i took mom to get her injection this morning. i really hope this one works longer than the last one did. i'd be thrilled if it lasted until 2019 got here.

i did write 5 poems in the waiting room while mom was getting her injection. i typed those up this afternoon. i think a few of them are really good.

the New York Rangers won last night, 4-2 over Ottawa.

other than the match between Dolph Ziggler and Seth Rollins last night, Monday Night Raw was awful.

The Voice was really good last night. i have no damn clue who will get voted off tonight.

The Truth About Killer Robots was fascinating last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice and Smackdown.

the Manchester United game today against Young Boys in the Champions League wasn't on television. thank god. United won on a goal in the 91st minute from Marouane Fellaini. it never should have come to that when playing that team at home. anywho, they are now into the knockout round of the Champions League with a game still to play in group play.

that's pretty much all for me today kids. i have to go out in temps that feel like the single digits and round up some trash.

a bad mood can only last so long...

when Manchester United lost yesterday, 2-1, i was fucking livid. they had opportunities in the game to get a point or even better, not have the two defensive mistakes and maybe steal all 3 points. instead. they are now 11 points out of first place in the league. so, i suppose the goal is now finish in the top 4 and do well in the FA Cup and Champions League. they got Sevilla in that draw this morning. it could have been worse. they next play on Wednesday against Bournemouth.

i think i was pissed until i got the email from Chiron Review last night. i can't wait for the world to read the poem that got accepted by them. it might be one of the best ones i have ever written.

Shameless last night was excellent.

SMILF was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution and The Voice. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

The New York Rangers play at home tonight against Dallas. i'd love to see the boys get another win tonight.

i went to the bank today before mom and i went to the grocery store. there was no one in line at the bank, so that went quickly. as for the grocery store, not so much. mom had a damn scroll to get. apparently she didn't remember everything when she gave me the list on Friday. oh well. at least we got home in time for the New York Yankees press conference.

the Yankees trade for Giancarlo Stanton became official today. holy shit, next season is going to be fun.

it did warm up some today, so most of the snow has melted. of course, i think there's a good chance for some snow tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

a couple hundred dollars later...

so mom and i walked around Meijer for probably 90 minutes this morning. we found plenty of shit we needed, plus a few things we probably didn't. mom was dead tired by the time we were done. i told her to think of it like this... if each of your physical therapy sessions are 30 minutes, you just did three of them in a row. i then had to get gas and pick up some prescriptions at the grocery store before we went back home. i know things are bad when a pharmacist is working the cash register. i was expecting 6 things for mom, only got 3 of them. i really wasn't in the mood to inquire why after standing in line for 20 minutes.

the picture frame i got today worked out great for the autographed poster of SEE i have. that will probably go up around all my music shit. i also got some more Batman shit and another sign for my bar. everything i got was on sale. and most of what mom got today was medical related, so that's why the bill was over $200.

NJPW last night was night 2 from the G1 special from last week. it was excellent. Kenny Omega is honestly having the best year of any pro wrestler. between the matches with Okada and the matches he had in the US title tournament, for my money, he's the best going today.

the New York Yankees had a lead yesterday, but of course, the bullpen can't stop shit at the moment. they turned a 4-2 lead into a 9-4 loss. they are in the process of losing again today. it's 3-2 going into the bottom of the 9th. i'm sure it will be over before i finish this fucking thing.

enjoy some music:

on the DVR tonight will be Tour de Pharmacy and ROH.

holy shit, Clint Frazier just hit a 3 run home run to give the Yankees a 5-3 walk off win. i'm going to enjoy the fuck out of some alcohol tonight.

team USA starts the Gold Cup today against Panama. hopefully i will be getting that second round of alcohol after this one.

i will be probably on here in the morning tomorrow. hopefully still a little drunk.

i will most likely do a little writing tonight. i had a line come to me this morning while i was taking a shit that i will have to turn into something. enjoy that visual.

busy for a lazy person

so yesterday i woke up because of the phone ringing. today was a cramp in my left leg. talk about one of those holy shit, ok i'm awake moments. thankfully, it didn't last long. but, i took it as a sign to get my ass going and get shit done today. more on all that later.

i finally won a fantasy football match. 1-1 is certainly better than 0-2, which i am in my other league. i did go 11-5 on picks for the week. that's 3 games better than the week before.

i did watch a little of the Eagles win over the Bears last night. i'm not yet ready to declare Carson Wentz great yet. let him beat a good team first.

Monday Night Raw was mostly ho hum for the first 2 hours. then the cruiserweights finally came out. that match was a little sloppy but certainly kept me awake. the steel cage match between Owens and Reigns was good, until the fucking ending. why the fuck would you ever have your champion lose a match right before a ppv? oh, that's right, Vince wants all of us to think of Roman Reigns as the next John Cena. well, fuck you Vince. he's not. he's not even a good Roman Reigns yet. i just know they are going to fuck up this Clash of Champions coming up on Sunday.

The Big Bang Theory was very funny last night.

Gotham was fucking spectacular. the show just keeps getting better.

The Voice was pretty good last night. i do enjoy that Alicia Keys and Miley Cyrus are shaking up the show a bit. a few of the singers were really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be WWE Smackdown, Scream Queens, Atlanta and The Voice. i'll probably end up watching USA vs. Canada in the World Cup of Hockey for a little bit tonight. it's a MUST WIN game for team USA.

the New York Yankees will try to stop their losing streak tonight down in Tampa. i won't be watching.

i did send out 17 poems today. 6 each to In Between Hangovers and ZYX; 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash. when i hear back from these places i'll pass along the verdicts.

before i mailed out the poems, i made a deposit at the bank. the bank i go to isn't that far away from where there was a murder last night. good times.

after the bank, i went to the local grocery store to get milk and bread. a note to the stunning blonde i saw in the store and was parked in front of me in the parking lot: WHERE THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? of course, she was absolutely not interested in me at all. i passed her once and made eye contact and smiled and i'm not sure if she saw me or was looking right through me. but, she will end up in some poems.

mom cancelled her appointment with the chiropractor. she's a little pissy that her doctor hasn't got back to her about the MRI. these are the times where i wish she was a drinker.

i still have trash to pick up here and next door, so that's all for me today kids.

nice of them to issue the flood watch the day before...

when i saw this morning that the national weather service issued a flood watch for tomorrow, i knew they are expecting some holy shit rain to happen. i'm sure it's a case of being safe rather than sorry, or at least i hope it is.

i just watched the USA women's soccer team get knocked out of the Olympics by Sweden in penalty kicks. all i saw of the game was the penalty kicks as i completely forgot the game was on at noon today. oh well, it should be interesting to see what happens to the team now. not a good sign for the first tournament after the heart and soul of your team retires.

the New York Yankees came from behind to win 4-2 last night up in Boston. they took 2 out of 3 in the series, which i think says more about Boston than New York. the amazing thing is the Yankees are now just 3.5 games behind in the wild card race. tonight is A-Rod's last game as a Yankee. they start a series at home against Tampa tonight. it's a bit of a nostalgia weekend as tomorrow the 1996 World Series team will be honored. on Sunday, Mariano Rivera will get his plaque in Monument Park. hard to believe it's been 20 damn years since Charlie Hayes caught that popup.

Big Brother had the chance to be really exciting last night, and then like most of this season, it fizzled. but, after the double eviction that really didn't do much, Victor won HOH again. his plan (really Paul's plan) is to put up Corey and Paulie for eviction. that should do the trick for setting the house on fire.

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was excellent last night. i'm so happy none of my former girlfriends ever owned a chainsaw.

i did listen to the latest episode of Seton Calling today. a great interview with Horatio Sanz. you can check it out by going here:

i will probably watch the USA men's basketball game against Serbia later today.

i finally shaved off most of my beard yesterday. i still have the long goatee but the rest of it hadn't been shaved in over a month. not exactly comfortable in 90+ heat. but, i did nearly pass out in the shower yesterday. all i could think of as i was drying off was if i fall, how long am i actually going to be down there? mom can't help me up. no one in this pseudo retirement community can help me up. so i toughed it out and made it to the fan in my room. good times.

not sure when i'll be on here over the weekend. Manchester United starts their Premier League season on Sunday. the Yankees play day games on both Saturday and Sunday. i'll shoot for the mornings and hopefully you'll live with getting it in the afternoons.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. take it easy and then take it again.
