best of luck to all the gamblers today.

another hot and muggy day...

 i swear, i can't sleep more than 4 hours. i went to bed after 2 this morning and got up a little after 6. fuck me.

it felt muggy as hell outside this morning. i watered the tomatoes because i know damn well, the rain chances around here today are slim and none.

mom and i went to Menards last night. we got a new suet bird feeder and more hot pepper suet. we also got some bamboo stakes for the tomatoes. i swear, those things are growing like they are on steroids. i was hoping we were going to find some plants to use on the back porch, but they didn't have anything mom liked. after Menards, she wanted her frozen coke from Burger King. i went to the one on the way home (sort of) and there's 20 minutes of my life i'll never get back. the frozen coke machine was defrosting so i just got her some water instead. her allergies were acting up. fun times.

the Yankees lost again last night to Boston, 4-2. hopefully, they won't get swept again this afternoon.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the Euro 2020 games yesterday were crazy. Denmark defeated Wales, 4-0. Italy defeated Austria, 2-1 in extra time. today, Netherlands take on Czech Republic at noon and Belgium plays Portugal at 3 this afternoon.

at the Copa America today, Brazil faces Ecuador and Venezuela takes on Peru.

AEW was really good last night.

ROH was good last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Batwoman, The Chi, Black Monday, Flatbush Misdemeanors and Desus & Mero.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA playoffs tonight.

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

thanks to everyone that checked out my latest published poems:

riding the waves of pain...

 there are some days where all i can do is simply strap in and know i'm going to be riding the waves of pain all day long. doesn't matter the amount of stretching i do or how often i ice my back, the pain never leaves. like a stubborn drunk, it settles in for the night...

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NXT UK was very good last night.

Cake was awesome last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

the Yankees lost to the Phillies last night, 13-12. they play the Orioles tonight.

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 Peacock.

the New York Rangers whipped Philadelphia once again last night, 8-3.

so, like you can imagine, i have more or less done absolutely nothing today. mom said i more or less just gave up while i was trying to stretch in bed and my body just turned off. this is the joy of when no pain pills can touch the pain and we live in a society that would rather keep all the good shit for themselves. 

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping it will be in the morning, which means my back feels much better than it does now.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

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.

when anger becomes hatred...

i knew Ohio State was playing with fire last night when the settled for field goals instead of touchdowns against Clemson. then add in the SEC officials (yes, i'm talking about you, you in-bred, backwoods, dumb fucks that should never be allowed on a football field again) and i had that awful feeling come up once again. that being said, Ohio State did have a chance to win the game in the final minute. Ohio State's wide receiver made a mistake and wasn't on the same page with the quarterback and well, fuck, everyone knows what happened next... Clemson 29 - Ohio State 23. to all the players either leaving early or graduating, thank you for your time at Ohio State. you will be missed. for the ones coming back, use the anger in your gut as fuel for next season. as for the officials in the game, especially the replay official, please fucking DIE.

in the other game, LSU fucking destroyed Oklahoma, 63-28. hopefully they will do the same thing to Clemson on January 13th.

the New York Rangers won in OT last night in Toronto, 5-4.

Manchester United won 2-0 yesterday.

ROH last night was another best of show.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be the season finale of Dublin Murders, Shameless and Ray Donovan.

USA takes on Russia today at the World Juniors. Russia destroyed Canada yesterday, 6-0.

the New Orleans Saints finish up the regular season today at Carolina. if the Saints win and the Packers AND 49ers lose, then the Saints will be the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs. if only one of them lose, the Saints will be the #2 seed in the playoffs. if they both win, the Saints will be the #3 seed in the playoffs and take on the Vikings.

the rain started last night during my 4 hours of something resembling sleep. it's supposed to rain all day long and eventually turn over to some snow. joy.

i hope everyone enjoyed their Saturday. hopefully, your Sunday will be even better.

i will probably be on here tomorrow in the morning. mom has her final physical therapy session in the afternoon tomorrow.

until then...

2 hours of my life i will never get back...

as i explained to my mother after she apologized again about the shit show at the DMV... it's been 43 years of doing shit i didn't want to do. i'm used to it by now. i got up a little after 9 and got ready to go this morning. just as i thought would happen, mom changed her mind and wanted to see if she could get her driver's license renewed. i dropped her off so she could get a number and then i found a place to park. this used to be easy, but that was when the Trotwood office was open. and lord knows, the state doesn't want anything in a black community, so they closed that office down about a year ago. we were sitting there for a good 90 minutes before the number got called. and of course, mom was nervous, for some fucking reason. and now in Ohio, because we have to have these secure identities, etc. she had to provide a birth certificate, her first marriage license, the divorce papers, the second marriage license and two items to prove she lives where she lives. good fuckin' lord. it was after noon by the time she took her picture and got the paper that acts as her license before the new one comes in the mail. as i told mom, this is the state's way of nickel and diming every fucker in this state to death. it was after 12:30 by the time we got breakfast at Waffle House. joy.

i'll be writing some poems after today, that's for sure. saw a guy in a wheelchair get his license renewed. saw this beautiful young black woman and the old white woman that refused to sit next to her. and the lady behind me that told the story about her son losing his house in the tornado 3 different times.

the New York Yankees were rained out last night, so they are playing a doubleheader today against the Mets. the Yankees are winning the first game so far, 9-4. the second game is tonight.

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the NBA Finals. amazingly, there will be a Game 6.

Monday Night Raw was almost good last night, almost. i did like the use of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn. and Bray Wyatt was great once again. as for the rest of the show, at least i had a basketball game i could flip to.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Ice on Fire, Smackdown, Deadliest Catch and Songland. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i have the USA vs. Thailand game on in the other room. i'm hoping the women do great in the Women's World Cup. the USA are up 2-0 so far.

i'll probably do the trash and all the other shit i have to do after that match is over.

i have no damn clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i just know i'm hoping tomorrow i'll actually have breakfast in me well before noon.

until tomorrow kids...

why else would i be up at 4 in the morning...

i couldn't fall asleep last night, and i mean i really couldn't. i had to basically talk myself to sleep. i did this by going back to elementary school and tracing back all the horrors of my childhood. and people wonder why i am a poet...

team USA beat Kazakhstan last night, 8-2 at the World Juniors. the USA plays Sweden tonight. that game will be much tougher.

i did watch some college football last night as well.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

the Dayton Flyers play at home this afternoon against Georgia Southern. this has trap game written all over it.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Nashville. i hope the Rangers find a way tonight, but i'm not holding my breath.

i do plan on watching most of the college football final 4 playoff games today. i'll miss some of Clemson vs. Notre Dame but i will get to see most of Alabama vs. Oklahoma.

i managed to get my laundry done and a nap in last night before dinner. i don't think the nap was the reason i was up until 4 in the morning. i think it was more to do about my inability to shut my damn brain off.

i will probably be on here tomorrow before Manchester United plays.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you need bail money.

when the dreams and nightmares become one...

i think i spent most of yesterday in a fog of depression and pain. i don't think i'm quite out of that fog just yet, although the first poem of June arrived this morning and it's fucking brilliant. so, there is light at the end of the tunnel and it isn't a fucking train.

the curse of Dublin still exists for the USA men's national team. they were outplayed for most of the game yesterday but had the lead at halftime, 1-0. they couldn't find the goal they needed in the second half and saw Ireland score the eventual game winner in stoppage time. fuck me. the USA lost 2-1. in 6 days they will play France in Lyon. i'm hoping the kids will play and the USA won't lose by too many.

the New York Yankees won last night in Baltimore, 8-5. they can go for the series sweep this afternoon, weather permitting. (game has been rained out, doubleheader on August 25th)

here are your highlights from Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final last night:

ROH was very good last night.

Patrick Melrose certainly struck a chord with me last night. the finale of this brilliant series will be next Saturday.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Billions, I'm Dying Up Here, Westworld, Succession, Last Week Tonight, Total Bellas and Drop the Mic.

Game 2 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch a little of that late, if the game is close.

and the laundry i didn't get to yesterday (all of it) will probably (hopefully) get done today.

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

that's all for me kids.

nothing like a thunderstorm to make you reconsider your day

i went outside to get the mail and the empty trash can and just happened to look up to my left. maybe one of the darkest clouds i have ever seen. so much for feeding the birds before it was supposed to rain. hopefully the satellite is back up by the time Wales plays Portugal this afternoon.

Euro 2016 Update:
the semifinals start today. Wales vs. Portugal. winner goes to the final on Sunday. tomorrow Germany plays France. i'm hoping to watch that from a bar up in Cleveland.

the New York Yankees played one of their best games of the season last night, winning 9-0. hopefully that doesn't continue. 3 of them amazingly made the All-Star team. i'm hoping 2 of the 3 of them get traded before the end of this month. they play again tonight in Chicago. i won't be watching.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night. i'm not sure i would be that calm with a fire at sea.

Maya & Marty was fucking hilarious last night. i laughed really, really hard at times, to the point of tears.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Any Given Wednesday, Lucha Underground and Tyrant. i'll watch NXT and the start of the WWE Cruiserweight Classic tonight on WWE Network. can you say clusterfuck?

looks like Manchester United has a new signing.

i'm so happy to see Jose Mourinho rebuilding the midfield. it's been needed for way too many years.

i listened to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast this morning. excellent as always.

you can find it by going here: http://notsam.com/wrestlingpodcast/2016/7/6/wrestling-podcast-89-virgil

i did watch The Final Deletion last night on Impact Wrestling. it was bizarre as much as it was funny. probably the best thing TNA has put out in years. and i really think all the credit is to Matt and Jeff Hardy. hopefully TNA will be smart enough to put the whole thing on YouTube so everyone can watch it. think Sharknado and backyard wrestling finally meet each other. truly classic.

hopefully i will get all packed by tonight. i guess the plan is to leave in the morning. pick up my sister along the way and the first stop will be A Christmas Story house. i'm bringing my camera, so i'm hoping to get pictures of everything. hard to fucking imagine this will be my first vacation in 13 years.

i don't plan on being online at all during my time away. i will be back blogging sometime on Monday. so, if you need to get a hold of me, you're shit out of luck. i do hope everyone has a great upcoming weekend and hopefully i will have plenty to share come next week.

signs of life

the sun is actually out today and the rumor is it actually hit 40 degrees. i wouldn't know of course, as i have spent the majority of my day in my room. the life of a poet, so fucking fascinating.

i sent out 14 poems today; 3 to Dead Snakes, 5 to Horror Sleaze Trash and 6 to Bad Acid Laboratories. when i hear back from these places i will pass on the verdicts.

about halfway through the finale of American Horror Story last night, i was thinking what the fuck is this? but, just when i thought it was going to be shit, here comes a wonderful murder scene set to a Marianne Faithfull song. perfection. i really enjoyed the finale from that part on. i'm interested to see where the series goes next.

NXT was really good last night. i didn't agree with all the award winners, but i don't think there could be a "bad" choice in any of the categories. i did enjoy the women's battle royal. it should be interesting to see best friends go against each other in Carmella vs. Bayley. plus, i can't wait to see Sami Zayn and Samoa Joe go at it.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Big Bang Theory, Life in Pieces, WWE Smackdown and Lip Sync Battle.

i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade today. i'll put the link below in the music section.

i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast late last night. i highly recommend it.

i will probably be on here early tomorrow as i figure mom and i are going to try to go to the Dayton Flyers game tomorrow night. of course, if we don't, the game is on ESPN2.

i hope the sunshine was out today in your neck of the woods. unlike me though, i hope you actually got out and enjoyed it.

some sports, some poems, and a tale about a grocery store bathroom

so much to get to. the trip to the doctor today was interesting. mom was of course running late so i had to fly to get us there nearly on time. her blood pressure of course was high and mine was perfect. as you might imagine, i'm a pretty cool customer anymore. i figure it basically comes down to the fact that i'm ok with dying at any given time. the doctor is a little concerned with my blood numbers given the amount of diabetes in my family. so, looks like i need to hit the exercise bike a little more than i normally do (like not at all) and maybe try some supplements (that's not going to happen), but the doctor did say that given my family history, these numbers are going to be hard to get better than what they are now. i figure i need to lose some weight anyway, so i might as well start with the new year. it won't be a resolution or anything like that. if i lose it, great. if i don't, i'll be on pills. good times.

i didn't get much sleep last night. i wrote three more poems up out of the blue. i really like 2 of the 3 that i typed up this afternoon. i'd like to get a few more out and then have a monster submission day early in 2015.

i watched a ton of football games yesterday. the New Orleans Saints won 23-20. not sure if it was a comeback victory or if Tampa Bay realized at halftime they didn't really want to win the game. i enjoyed the victory beer either way. i finished the regular season 170-86 picking games. that's not bad.

i haven't been that surprised with all the firings today in the NFL. it gives all the talking heads something to do.

i remembered that team USA was playing last night in the World Juniors tournament. i watched most of that, mostly because the goalie is a Rangers draft pick. he got the shutout as the USA beat Germany 6-0. they are currently playing as i'm typing this. they are up 2-0 on Slovakia in the 3rd period. if the game finishes before i post this, i'll put the final score at the end of the post.*

we went out to lunch after the trip to the doctor today. i got some hot wings and fries. i figure the chicken was better than the beef. i'm not sure if my stomach agreed with me. as i was driving to the grocery store after lunch, i could feel my stomach start to rumble. i figured it was just gas. i went into the bathroom as my mom went to go get her prescriptions. thankfully, the bathroom was empty. as i started to piss, i got the urge to shit. oh fuck. i got into the stall and holy fucking hell. i unleashed something that would make the dirtiest fuckers on earth tremble in fear. somewhere in the middle of this madness, a guy came in to take a piss. i made sure to let one rip as i figured, fuck it, why the fuck do i bother to care anymore. thankfully, there was some toilet paper. or, something they call toilet paper. i did do a courtesy flush. not sure why, as the bathroom was empty by that point. the stench was still in the air as i washed my hands and left. i almost felt sorry for the black guy that was coming in as i was leaving. almost.

another night of busy tv viewing is ahead for me tonight. after i get done listening to the Archie Miller Show on the radio, i'll turn on Monday Night Raw. while that is going on, i'll flip over to watch the New York Rangers try to extend their winning streak in Dallas tonight. that should be an interesting one. and then, i'll try to remember to catch the new episode of the Men in Blazers tonight. thankfully, not too long until i'll be living in a house with a DVR and i won't have to flip channels anymore.

i figure i'll be on here sometime tomorrow afternoon. i don't think i have anything planned for tomorrow. of course, given how these last few weeks have been going, only god knows what the fuck is going to happen tomorrow.

i hope everyone had a great weekend. thanks again for allowing me to waste a few minutes of your precious time.
