Inside the NFL was very good last night.
AEW Dynamite was good last night.

i was all ready to get some sleep last night and mom let out a scream at 4:45 AM. i went into her room and turned on the lights and she was wondering where her flowers were. i asked her why would you have flowers in the bed with you? she then told me she loves me and went back to sleep. i mumbled to myself... and people wonder why the fuck i don't get any sleep. good times.
here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:
the Yankees lost last night at home to Oakland, 3-1. they play tonight at Milwaukee.

so far at the World Cup today, Switzerland defeated Cameroon 1-0 and Uruguay and South Korea finished 0-0. currently Ghana is playing Portugal. later, Brazil will play Serbia.
i do plan on watching some of the football games today. Buffalo plays at Detroit. the Giants are at the Cowboys and the Patriots play at the Vikings tonight.
the Dayton Flyers play NC State this afternoon. hopefully, they will shoot way better than they did yesterday against Wisconsin.
this is going to be the first time i am doing Thanksgiving as the main one cooking. so, i am interested to see how i do, especially since i will be cooking a few things i haven't done before.
i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon most likely.
i hope everyone has a great day. much like i expected, mom slept until around 11 this morning. when she told me last night she was going to be up to watch the parade, i laughed.
i need to go make her breakfast, so that's all for me kids.

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
sometimes you watch something that hits so damn close to home that it's simply unsettling to the point that you are rendered helpless. i watched I Am Evidence last night. it is an incredibly difficult documentary to watch, especially if you are a victim of sexual abuse, or know victims of it. to see all those damn rape kits that went untested for years and years was disheartening. and i know i have friends that have been raped who had the same shit happen to them. as a man, as a human and as an American, this is a fucking disgusting indictment on this society. i urge everyone to watch this and tell someone else about it and make them watch it.
here is your poetry for this day of National Poetry Month:
The Voice last night was really good. from first listen, it's going to be a battle between team Blake and team Alicia. those teams have way more talent than the other two.
Fuck, That's Delicious was hilarious last night.
the New York Yankees scored early and often last night to beat the Marlins 12-1. they play again this evening.
Monday Night Raw was really good last night. i really like the way they are going with the Superstar Shakeup. it should be interesting to see who goes to Smackdown tonight.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Smackdown, The Voice, The Chris Gethard Show, Deadliest Catch and The Jim Jefferies Show. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.
i am bringing my little notebook with me today for mom's physical therapy appointment. i'd love to bang out a good number of poems today.
i guess it's supposed to start warming up for the next few days. of course, i won't be surprised if there's more cold weather by the end of the week. this is a miserable fucking cycle.
that's all for me kids.

the wind has been blowing like fucking crazy since last night. i've had bird feeders knocked down from trees and it's funny watching the flimsy pink flamingos hang on in this hellish wind. i'm shocked they are still in the ground.
i managed to do some writing today. i wrote 4 poems. i haven't typed them up yet. i'd love to write a few more and then type them all up in one sitting. in other poetry news, got some good news from Janne Karlsson on one of the poems i sent him. i'm going to hold off on the details for now, but i'm certainly extremely pleased with the news.
at least a few of my favorites made the cut on The Voice last night. i'm hoping Madi Davis wins it all. i absolutely love a 16 year old with an old soul. reminds me of myself at that age.
You're The Worst was fucking hilarious last night. it also reminded me why i don't do much family shit.
American Horror Story was great last night. the end startled me, which was perfect. the show just keeps getting better.
NXT was really good last night. anytime you have a title change, it's going to be a good show. Table for 3 was really good as well.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
for some fucking reason, 3/4 of the videos i wanted to use today i couldn't find. if you'd like to see what this blog could have been, check out my Google+ page.
on the DVR tonight will be The Big Bang Theory and Life in Pieces.
the New York Rangers have a tough game tonight with St. Louis. if the Rangers can keep the winning streak going tonight, i'll really be impressed.
i have no fantasy players playing tonight but mom's favorite team is the Jets, so i imagine i'll end up watching some of the NFL game tonight.
i did listen to Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. i highly recommend it.
i will be on here tomorrow in the morning. we have a college basketball game tomorrow night. very hard to think that college basketball is already starting.
i hope everyone had a great day. hopefully the wind isn't destroying where you live.

i went out shopping with my mother this morning. it turned into a 4 store marathon that took up most of the day. it would have been a great day if my ankle wouldn't have given out on me in the grocery store. of course, there was rain in the area at the time, so i'm figuring that was the culprit. but, before that happened, i did get an insanely beautiful woman to smile at me, so there's a few poems right there.
speaking of poems, i heard back from Hobo Camp Review on my submission from yesterday. one poem came really close but they decided to pass on the bunch. oh well.
the New York Yankees exploded last night, beating the Braves 15-4. hopefully they didn't use up all the offense in one game. they need to get on a run here on this road trip. they play again tonight.
NJPW and Treehouse Masters were both excellent last night. the house they built was magnificent. if i had $200,000 to piss away on a treehouse, that would be the one i would get.
enjoy some music kids:
and now some of this and that:
i signed up for 3 fantasy football leagues last night. 1 on NFL.com and 2 on CBSSports.com. as always, my goal is to win 3 championships. but, i will love if i can have another year of at least winning one.
my sister is going to shit with what my mother and i got her for her birthday this year.
on the DVR tonight will be ROH. other than that, i'll probably catch up on all of the soccer i missed today. i did see two teams that i detest both lost today, so that brightens my day a bit.
i'll probably be on here tomorrow in the morning, before Manchester United plays. since both they and the Yankees are playing in the day, i figure i'll get my lazy ass busy early. i damn near got 7 hours of sleep last night. that's almost like 2 days worth for me. so i imagine i'll be up late tonight. maybe i'll get some writing done.
i hope everyone is having a great Saturday. may the drinks be cold, the sex hot but not disease type hot, hopefully the music is loud and you have no care for tomorrow. as i explained to my mother today, when you are on the back side of the circle, what the fuck do you have to lose?

i think the only thing i hate on earth more than losing is ignorance. and when you follow a sports team from training camp and then getting so damn close to a championship, only to come up short, AGAIN, it stings a little more with each fucking year.
the New York Rangers did the exact same damn thing they did in Game 5 last night in Game 7. i bitch and bitch about the KISS theory all the time. for those who don't know about the KISS theory, it is this: Keep It Simple Stupid. the amazing thing, it fucking works. so, once again, the New York Rangers decided to try to put on a show instead of just playing meat and potatoes hockey last night. Tampa decided to go with the KISS theory once again and sure enough, they won 2-0, just like Game 5. The King played good enough to win last night but no one on offense did a fucking thing. and then i found out after the game that the Rangers captain has been playing with a broken foot since Game 4. lovely. that's the first Game 7 the Rangers have EVER lost at home. it's the first time The King has given up 2 goals in a Game 7 since his first one. also, Tampa becomes the first team ever to defeat 3 original six teams to advance to the Stanley Cup Final. for the 3 ex-Rangers on Tampa, i wish them well. but i'll hope that whatever team comes out of the west wins it all. and i don't see myself watching much hockey the rest of the season. last night was one of those defeats that crushes a bit of your soul.
the Yankees lost last night 6-2. i didn't watch any of the game. they play again tonight. i doubt i watch that game either.
after the hockey game ended, i watched the Louis C.K. comedy special from the other night. that was fucking excellent. after that, i watched the latest episode of NJPW. that was awesome as usual.
i put on about 5 hours of sad as fuck music last night to go to sleep to. i think i might have got around 4 hours or so.
i thought mom wanted to go to the farm today but she changed her mind, mostly because of the weather, and now we are going tomorrow morning. at least we did find the titles for everything we hope that is going to sell at the auction on June 3rd.
i put together the chair last night. the directions were sort of ripped in half, so that made it a little more difficult than it should have been. plus, they were more or less vague as hell. so, once i got it done and mom didn't like it, i wasn't happy and neither was she. she ended up calling Value City and told them they can pick it up next week and take it off of her credit card. so, now i don't know what we're going to do for the chair at the desk in the kitchen. i suppose we have another folding one somewhere around here for now. it amazes me at how a company is ok with having shitty customer service. last time mom will be shopping there.
a quick comedy break as i'm trying to force myself to laugh:
that didn't work, back to the music:
i watched the FA Cup final today. that was a fucking waste of time. sadly, Arsenal broke Manchester United's record for most FA Cup titles. that really put a cherry on my shit sundae.
instead of watching hockey tonight i'll probably watch the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame inductions on HBO. also on the DVR tonight will be the latest episode of ROH.
i got my second package from amazon.com today. i finally got the last two Guided By Voices cds. if they are the last ones they ever do together, Cool Planet was definitely a good one to leave on. i really enjoyed it. might be their best in my mind for the last 10 years or so.
that's pretty much all for me. i've got to go vacuum the house and then watch the skies. the way my bones are starting to feel, i think there may be some rain on the way. good times.
hope everyone is having a better weekend than i am. if not, this is why they have all those bottles of alcohol available for purchase.

in my sophisticated white trash upbringing, one of the phrases i would always hear about would be about a wild hair getting up your ass. i suppose, you could say that happened to me today. i turned on some music, poured myself a glass of lemonade and went to an extremely dark place in my head. 20 minutes later i had 6 poems written. i haven't typed any up yet, just in case something else pops into my head. but, after reading a few of them, i think i may have some really great shit on my hands. now there's a visual. hopefully i bang out a few more of them by the weekend.
the New York Yankees pissed away a 6-2 lead last night to lose 8-6 in extra innings. they play again tonight in Washington to hopefully split the series. there's little to no chance i'll watch any of the game.
The Voice went exactly as i expected it to last night. i even got the order of the top 4 correct this year. i really wanted Meghan to win, but i know that the housewives look at Sawyer as fresh meat. i might like him more once his voice gets a little bass in it.
Deadliest Catch last night was great and sad at the same time. heroin addiction is one of the worst things on earth. and to see it played out like that on television was pretty riveting and sad.
David Letterman had a fucking great show last night. first, you can never have a better guest than Bill Murray:
and then end it with something magical and strange:
i can't wait to see what happens tonight on the final show. i'm sure i will laugh as much as i cry. i've been a Letterman fan since i stayed up WAY past my bed time to watch him when i was like 7 or 8 years old. that's over 30 years. and i know some of my crazy sense of humor comes from Dave. hopefully the final show tonight is a classic.
tonight is a true clusterfuck for me on television. all at the same time: New York Rangers play Game 3 down in Tampa, a new episode of Lucha Underground (thank god i have a DVR now) AND NXT: Takeover Unstoppable on the WWE Network. i will probably have to watch wrestling later in the night due to the hockey. of course, if the Rangers play like shit once again and take stupid penalty after stupid penalty, i'll gladly switch over to the wrestling.
speaking of wrestling, i urge everyone to check out this podcast when you get a chance:
listen on iTunes, Stitcher, the RSS you can find on the right hand side of this blog, or at notsam.com. it is a fascinating interview with my favorite wrestler of the last decade.
here's some comedy for you on a fucking gloomy day:
and in case if that wasn't enough videos for you:
the Sacramento Kings will be picking 6th in the NBA Draft this year. at least they didn't get shifted down like most years. and this is going to be a deep draft. they should be able to get someone that will help immediately at number 6.
that's all for me today. i don't think the sun has come out at all today. good times.
