the winds from hell, and then another dose of winter...

 it has been very windy today. and apparently, winter will return this weekend. joy.

so, i did catch some of the shit show that happened in the oval office today. if anyone in this country actually thought Orange Hitler and his puppet vice president actually gave a shit about Ukraine, if you still believe that after today, you are one of the dumbest motherfuckers that has ever existed. i'm sure that every previous president that knows just how fucking evil Russia really is can't fucking believe this bullshit either. i'm sure Putin is laughing his ass off as Orange Hitler is doing exactly what Putin wants. fucking nuts.

i did write 3 poems last night. i'd like to get back into doing that every few nights of the week. mom has me so fucking stressed these days, i haven't been able to do much at all. i think she finally is coming out of the fog she has been in for the last 3 days. she only slept for almost 13 hours today. told me that she took her gabapentin for the first time in a week. that's the same gabapentin i had to call in a day ago because she finally told me she didn't have anymore.

that's all for me kids, until tomorrow...

what could have been...

 last night sucked for the most part. i can handle losing. i hate it, but i can handle it. what i tend to lose my shit on, is when one (or more) of my teams, beat themselves. yeah, it was one of those nights. 

Ohio State lost at Oregon last night, 32-31. injuries and mistakes. that pretty much sums up the game.

the New York Rangers lost at home to Utah last night, 6-5, in OT.

the USMNT won last night against Panama, 2-0. it wasn't pretty, but it was a win. i'll take it.

Austin City Limits was good last night.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

oh, hello frustration, there you are...

 being a Type 2 diabetic is already frustrating enough. and then i started using the drug Trulicity, and i lost a little weight, my numbers started getting better, etc. so, of course, once the rich found out that these drugs actually worked on losing weight, they started hoarding them. now, the manufacturer has no Trulicity. i haven't had it for almost a month now. i know any progress i made on my A1C is lost now. Friday will be the actual acknowledgement of that. i can't wait to see what drug they are going to try to put me on next. mom told me not to worry about the cost. i laughed as i know all the money spent now will be money that won't be there when she dies and i'll need it. as i joked with her yesterday at her doctor's appointment when she asked what i wanted to do with all this and my immediate response was die. i told her if you actually look at all this logically, my death clears most of this shit up. and no one would have to worry about my A1C if i'm dead. she told me to stop it, but i could see in her eyes, she knew i was right. so yeah, should be a really fucking fun summer. and don't worry, i definitely have no plans to die before my new book with C. Renee Kiser comes out. after that though...

here are your highlights from Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. i believe Florida is starting to panic and Edmonton can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Game 6 is Friday night.

the Yankees won last night at home over Baltimore, 4-2. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

NXT was very good last night:

Happy Juneteenth to everyone by the way.

i tried to do the grocery shopping a little earlier today. i had everything done by 2 this afternoon. it was hot as shit outside, but i think i missed a good portion of the heat. 

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

i did watch a little of the Euro 2024 action today.

i'm not sure what i'm making for dinner tonight.

 i guess we're supposed to get some snow overnight. if i actually get up in time to see the WWE event in Australia, i might actually see it snowing. not that i am looking forward to it. it shouldn't last long with the temperatures we've been having.

my back was in so much pain this morning/afternoon that when i put some ice on it i think i drifted off into a mini coma. i know i must have slept for a few hours. i needed it.

the New York Rangers won last night at New Jersey, 5-1. that's 9 wins in a row. i'm trying to not get ahead of myself, but i am definitely getting the 1994 vibes again.

i noticed today our glass rain gauge had broken. so, i picked up the broken glass and of course cut my fucking thumb. no good deed...

i have no damn clue when i will be on here tomorrow. most likely, it will be after Manchester United plays Fulham.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

nothing like night storms...

 so, around 5 this morning, i rolled over in bed and felt every bone in my body crack. i looked at my phone and sure enough, it was raining. i never remembered any of the weather forecasts saying anything about rain. it was just supposed to be hotter than shit today. well, they got that part correct so far. not sure how much rain we got, but it was certainly enough to give me another shitty night of sleep.

the Yankees actually won last night, defeating the Nationals, 9-1. they are currently trailing the Nationals today in the 9th, 5-4. 

FC Cincinnati pissed away a 2-0 lead last night against Inter Miami. they never could find that 3rd goal and that gave Lionel Messi the chance to work his magic. 2 amazing assists later and the game went to extra time 2-2. Inter Miami scored in the first part of extra time. FC Cincinnati scored in the second part of extra time to make it 3-3. Inter Miami won the penalty shootout, 5-4. so, Inter Miami will face the Houston Dynamo in the finals of the U.S. Open Cup.

AEW Dynamite was pretty good last night.

Big Brother was very good last night. looks like we have a sneaky backdoor eviction coming this week. fingers crossed that Hisam will be evicted tonight.

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.

the Yankees just lost today to the Nationals, 6-5. that is basically what the Yankees are now, just good enough to lose to shit teams. they start a series tomorrow at that dump down in Tampa.

i have to go to Rite Aid to get some pills, so that's all for me kids.

insert title here

 i've been having some weird dreams lately. mostly about death, depravity, rainbows and laughter. i'm not sure if they are coming from being sleep deprived or they are induced from the constant pain i am in. not that it really matters to me, it is all content for the poems anymore. 

the Yankees whipped Boston last night, 12-5. hopefully, they will beat them again tonight.

El Trafico never disappoints. LAFC 3 LA Galaxy 2.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was really good last night.

the season finale of Pause with Sam Jay was great last night.

i did watch most of the NHL Draft. i liked what the Rangers did for the most part. trading their backup goalie to Colorado for 3 draft picks was a surprise. not that they traded him, but that they got that much back in return. they drafted a few centers, which the organization desperately needs. all in all, not bad.

i guess mom called in some more pills to Kroger. so, now i don't have to go until tomorrow afternoon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight.

i do plan on watching some MLS games today. other than that, maybe just catching up on some sleep or writing.

mom wanted Pizza Hut last night for some fucking reason. she wanted to try that Edge pizza. so, against my best judgement, i got it. stupid me. first off, Pizza Hut can't do thin crust worth a shit. the crust was awful. the stuff on top of the crust was fine. what truly pissed me off last night was the order took over 60 minutes to get here. now, if i would have been told that from the beginning, no problem. but, when i'm told 25 to 35 minutes and it takes twice as long, now i'm pissy. and since Pizza Hut acted like it was no big deal. looks like i won't be ordering from there anytime soon.

i think the rain has finally moved on. that should tame my arthritis for at least a few days.

i did open the baseball cards i got yesterday at Big Lots. the 4 packs of 2022 Topps Heritage i opened weren't good at all. i got a few rookies and one high number card. other than that, nothing special at all.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday.

i should be on here tomorrow before i go to Kroger.

until then kids...

you could see it coming miles away...

 so, i got up this morning hopeful. and then i saw that a defender for Manchester United that i thought wasn't going to play today, was fit. my first thought was fuck, they are going to play a back 3 today and get killed. sure enough, Ole started a back 3 and went with a 3-5-2 formation. and much like i thought Manchester City would do, they pinned those 3 back and made it a back 5 and absolutely controlled the first half. an own goal and another goal right before the death of the first half, and United went into halftime down 2-0. now, Ole changed the formation out of halftime, but to be honest, he should have done that 10 minutes into the fucking game. United was listless in the second half and City simply put the game into cruise control and basically the second half put me to sleep. United lost 2-0. they go into the international break looking like a team that has no fucking clue how to play or any desire to play for their manager. i highly doubt Ole loses his job, as i can't see anyone out there that the idiotic owners of United would jump to replace him with. now, i know a certain manager at Tottenham or at PSG that i would love to see as United manager, but, as usual, the club sat on their fucking hands too long to have those coaches. i'm so fucking disappointed right now. but sadly, not surprised enough to actually be angry. 35 years ago Sir Alex was appointed the boss of Manchester United. you look at the club today, and you would never know he was ever there.

i was pretty happy last night when the New York Rangers were up 4-1. i also knew they were playing a very good Edmonton Oilers team that are deadly when given time and space. well, the Rangers pissed away that lead and lost again in OT, 6-5. they play tonight in Calgary.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now, the heat...

 pulling the weeds yesterday took more out of me than i thought it would. at least i fucking remembered to put on some sunscreen. of course, i still got a sunburn, but not nearly as bad as it could have been. now, for the birdfeeder they wanted me to take from next door, that was a completely different story. i got most of it over to here, but the ground was holding on to the rest of it. no birdfeeder is worth me fucking up my back more than it already is, no matter if my uncle wanted me to have it or not. so, hopefully, my cousins will dig that fucker out and bring it over sometime. i think we're going to try it in the front flower bed, the one i pulled all the damn weeds from.

i got 2 of my final 3 to the finale of The Voice. in hindsight, of course Blake would get 2 people to the finale, as always. 

NXT was really good last night.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night.

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, AEW and The Masked Singer.

i'm sure i'll watch some of the NHL playoffs tonight and the NBA playoffs as well.

grocery shopping today was a bit crazy. i'm not thrilled that more people aren't wearing masks. like i'm going to trust any of these motherfuckers and think they all got vaccinated. i did get everything on the list and a few extra things. it is going to get pretty hot here the next few days (already had to turn on the AC) so i got mom plenty of fruit and ice cream.

i will probably be on here before the Yankees play tomorrow afternoon.

so, here's a little good news...

 my mother doesn't have COVID... that was probably the best thing that came from the conversation with the nurse last night. she is feeling much better. she did a bunch of tests this morning and it is surely congestive heart failure. she has to start a new diet, no more alcohol (she's not happy about that), etc. etc. it looks like she may be coming home either tomorrow or Saturday.

i did the dishes this morning, swept the house and shoveled the driveway this afternoon. my sister is supposed to be here in the morning tomorrow and i know we're going to have to have some talks regarding mom. 

in even better news, Manchester United won 4-0 today in the Europa League over Real Sociedad. that was a pleasant shock.

NXT was very good last night.

AEW was very good last night as well.

The Masked Dancer finale was excellent last night. i did get Cotton Candy right.

i don't really have a clue when i will be on here tomorrow. if my mother comes home, the blog may not come out until late Friday night or so. if she doesn't, it will probably be in the afternoon, long before Dayton plays Saint Louis.
