they ran out of the normal stuff to check my A1C, so they had to take two vials of blood from me today instead of one. thankfully, i'm not scared of needles. my doctor believes the pills i'm on now are right, but in a couple of days we'll know for sure. if they are right, i won't be a type 2 diabetic just yet. but, given my genetics, it's inevitable. lucky for me, i don't bleed much, so i didn't have to wear the gauze and paper tape that long. yeah, they had ran out of the wrap us hairy fucks need so we don't have to fuck with band-aids. so, i think i had breakfast sometime around noon today. good times.
Deadliest Catch was pretty interesting last night. Maya & Marty was really funny once again.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Any Given Wednesday, Tyrant and Lucha Underground. i'll be watching NXT and the start of the WWE Crusierweight Classic tonight on WWE Network.
it's hotter than hell here at the moment and there are storms coming. just fucking perfect.
i did see that the New York Rangers signed J.T. Miller to a 2 year deal today. hopefully they can get all their restricted free agents signed to similar deals.
that's all for me kids. i'll be on tomorrow after i send out a ton of poems, hopefully to their new homes.
be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.
peace and chicken grease...

and your whatever the fuck i wanted you to see video of the day:
today was one of those days... i wouldn't say it's depression, it's certainly not joy... just that weird feeling i sometimes get when the pain isn't overbearing but i can feel it. it almost reminds me of when i was on drugs... the void. the certain need to find that spot to dwell, waste away. and i'm not saying this is a bad thing. i often find my best moments of creativity when i'm at my lowest. probably explains why i write so many poems on the toilet. today i put on the right music and it just happened to take me away. i was still able to get some shit done, so maybe i'm just a functioning dreamer.
i didn't watch one second of the Home Run Derby last night. i won't watch one second of the All Star game tonight. it actually feels good to be away from baseball for a few days.
Monday Night Raw had a few good moments (Seth Rollins was great last night) but was mostly just a bunch of blah. next week, the final Raw before the brand split, has the potential to be really good. but, potential and the WWE is usually a recipe for disaster.
on the DVR tonight will be Deadliest Catch and Maya & Marty.
i did a little poetry work this afternoon. i should have a monster day of submissions coming up, most likely on Thursday.
the one thing that i did really like about being away from here was the amount of different shit i could write about. that's certainly the one drawback to living in a small town. especially when you don't really like going to any of the local bars and sitting around and shooting the shit with people. i do know when my imagination runs dry, i either have to move or convince myself i'm a better painter than a poet. and i doubt there are enough drugs in the world for that to happen.
i have trash to pick up and i really need to take a shower. it's a hot and sticky one here today. i was outside for maybe 20 minutes and had sweat running down into the crack of my ass. enjoy that visual.

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.
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.

i had a hard time sleeping last night. i tried to do it without the fan on or any music playing, so i could sort of get used to what it's going to be like in the hotel later this week. needless to say, after 45 minutes of tossing and turning, the fan was on and the music was playing. fuck it.
the New York Yankees got beat 8-2 yesterday. thankfully, i didn't watch past the second inning. they play the White Sox again tonight. i'm hoping they go on a long losing streak so the dumb fucks in the front office will finally realize it's time to start trading off the veterans for some youth.
i think one person wrote about Monday Night Raw perfectly last night. it was really good but so god damn long that you couldn't enjoy it. Kevin Owens once again stole the show for me. and i really enjoyed that the Wyatt Family is back to being weird ass monsters again. the show just drags at times, mostly because of the 3 hours it has to fill.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Deadliest Catch and Maya & Marty.
i've heard all the buzz about the wrestling match between Matt and Jeff Hardy that is on tonight. i have rarely watched TNA over the years, but i think i might check this one out.
i did a little poetry work last night. i should have a round of submissions ready to go when i get back from my little vacation to Cleveland.
i did watch some of the NASA coverage last night. it's amazing to me how much more i like science now than when i was in school. it must have been the shitty teachers.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade this morning. i'll post the links below in the music section.
well, i have toilets to clean, trash to pick up, lunch, shower and i suppose i should start going through my clothes so i'm not packing at the last minute.
i hope everyone has a wonderful day.

thankfully, i have been watching the USA play soccer enough to know when i'm being fed bullshit. all the talk leading up to the Argentina game was how they were going to press them, go out and be positive, force Argentina to play defense, blah blah fucking blah. all i needed to see was who the coach replaced the 3 suspended starters with. when i saw it was three veterans, i knew he was blowing smoke up the ass of the fans all the time. and sure enough, 3 minutes in, it was painfully evident. and, who the fuck thought the best way to defend the best player in the world was to give him all the time and space he wanted? jesus fucking christ. as Landon Donovan said in the second half, if the USA was serious about winning this game, there should have been 11 or 12 yellow cards issued of them hacking players to the ground. and answer me this... who the fuck can win when you never get a shot on goal. all that being said, even if the USA would have played their best game, they still would have lost to Argentina. you can tell that team is hell bent on ending their 23 year drought. of course, a small part of me would love to see them lose in the final.
Copa America Update:
Argentina won last night 4-0. they will play the winner of Chile vs. Colombia in the finals on Sunday. the loser of that game plays the USA in the 3rd place game on Saturday.
Euro 2016 Update:
Turkey defeated Czech Republic yesterday 2-0. Croatia stunned Spain to win the group 2-1. i believe that now puts Spain on the side of the bracket they didn't want to be on. today, Iceland is leading Austria 1-0 at halftime. Portugal and Hungary are 1-1 at halftime. later this afternoon, Italy takes on Ireland and Sweden plays Belgium.
the New York Yankees lost last night 8-4. i'm at the point now where i hope they keep losing so they have to trade all the veterans away and start getting younger. with that being said, hopefully another loss is coming up this afternoon.
Deadliest Catch was great last night. the end of the show was amazing. i'm not sure i could stay calm on a boat on fire in the middle of the Bering Sea.
Maya & Marty was hilarious last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground, Any Given Wednesday with Bill Simmons and my guilty pleasure of summer, Big Brother. i'll be watching NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.
Hungary just scored to go up 2-1 on Portugal. and now Portugal has just tied the game at 2-2.
i've been flipping between the soccer games and the Cleveland Cavaliers victory parade. i think nearly half of the state of Ohio is at that parade right now.
well, Hungary just scored to go back up, 3-2. this game is fucking crazy right now. if Portugal loses, they are eliminated from Euro 2016.
we've been seeing some weird fucking bugs in the house. not sure if it's the rain or the fact i sprayed around the house that's driven them inside. i think i killed them but we've got a bug guy coming out later today to check out the situation.
at some point today, i'd love to get some writing done, maybe a shower and catch up on some podcasts. of course, it's also supposed to storm like hell tonight. high winds, tornado warnings, etc. good times.
CR7 just scored for Portugal to make the game 3-3. fucking crazy. Austria scored to make their game with Iceland 1-1.
that's all for me today kids. looks like this is going to be a crazy afternoon.

it would be even better if the rain really didn't fuck with my arthritis like it does. i wrote 4 poems last night/this morning. if my hands would have felt better, i might have written another 10 more. i typed up the 4 this afternoon and really like them. i may do a little submission before vacation or i may just stockpile the poems for when i get back. i'm not sure yet.
Copa America Update:
the USA vs. Argentina game is massive tonight. if the USA can pull off the upset, i will be thrilled. all i really want tonight is for them to seize the opportunity they have in front of them and play their best. if that isn't enough to win, so be it. it will certainly be a good test to see where "we" are going against the #1 team in the world.
Euro 2016 Update:
Germany defeated Northern Ireland this afternoon 1-0. Poland defeated Ukraine 1-0. both of them advanced out of the group. right now, Spain leads Croatia 1-0 and Turkey leads Czech Republic 1-0. both matches are in the first half.
the storms knocked out the satellite a few times last night, so Monday Night Raw was disjointed for me as i missed nearly half of it. i did enjoy most of what i saw, mostly because of Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose. i figured out why they had Roman Reigns lose the title on Sunday. he got suspended for 30 days for a Wellness Policy Violation. most likely, he took something he shouldn't have and pissed hot. maybe that changes Vince's opinion of him.
i did watch all of the AJ Styles interview with Stone Cold Steve Austin last night on WWE Network. i was somewhat amazed they actually mentioned TNA in the interview, as that has become the company that usually isn't named on the network. i do like that AJ loves WWE so much that he wants to work for it after he retires.

when i heard the thunder, i could immediately feel pain in both of my shoulders. arthritis. good times.
to give you a little glimpse into my life, imagine this. i'm sitting on the toilet taking a shit when i hear someone on the television say go to our website and tell us why your father is the greatest. i started to laugh and said loud enough for my mother to hear, because he's dead.
i was surprised though when i opened the garage door this morning and the empty trash cans were already brought up to the door. i'm figuring someone next door did that, or maybe it was magic.
Copa America Update:
Chile defeated Panama 4-2 in a very entertaining game last night. Argentina beat Bolivia 3-0 in a game where Argentina showed just how deep they are. there are no games today as the quarterfinals start tomorrow. here are how the quarterfinals look: USA vs. Ecuador, Peru vs. Colombia, Argentina vs. Venezuela and Mexico vs. Chile. the rest of the Copa America should be really, really good.
Euro 2016 update:
Portugal and Iceland played to a 1-1 draw yesterday. hats off to Iceland's defense for parking the bus and getting a hard earned point. i did watch a little of Slovakia defeating Russia 2-1 this morning. currently, Romania is leading Switzerland at halftime 1-0. the final match of the day will be France vs. Albania.
Deadliest Catch was pretty good last night. it did a good job showing why that job is too expensive to have fuck ups. here's a preview of next week's episode:
Maya & Marty continued to be funnier than it probably should be. last night's episode had me howling at times.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. i'll be watching NXT on WWE Network at some point tonight.
the New York Yankees lost 13-10 last night. the game reminded me why i hate games out in Colorado. they are like slow pitch softball games. hopefully, the Yankees will win this afternoon.
what the fuck is going on in Orlando, Florida?
at some point later today i'm going to catch up on a few podcasts and get some writing done. i know i'd like to get some poems written before i get too deep into the summer.
Switzerland just scored to even the game with Romania.
i got some great FREE music on NoiseTrade last night. i'll put the links down in the music section.
that's all for me kids. i need to go check the mail and get some lunch.

it's almost like a dull ache. like i'm a junkie going through withdrawals, and i don't want to get into the habit of taking pills or alcohol to ease the pain, as i know damn well, i'll be an addict in a matter of days. but now at 40, my process of accepting the pain needs to be tweaked a bit i guess. not sure how i'm going to do that. but, there's plenty of time (i hope) to try and fail at many things before i get it right.
Euro 2016 update:
i really enjoyed Italy vs. Belgium yesterday. you could tell Belgium had all the shiny parts and Italy was the reliable old car that stills get you there and never breaks down. Italy "upset" Belgium 2-0. that's a huge win for Italy. today, i watched Hungary shock Austria 2-0. i can just imagine the drinking going on in Hungary. right now, i'm watching Iceland vs. Portugal. should be interesting to see how CR7 does today.
Copa America update:
Mexico vs. Venezuela last night was very entertaining. Venezuela scored early and for a while, i really thought they were going to get the upset and win the group. but, Mexico got a great goal to get the draw. that gives Mexico the group win and allows them to avoid possibly playing Argentina in the quarterfinals. the games tonight are Chile vs. Panama and Argentina vs. Bolivia.
Monday Night Raw was really hit or miss for me last night. i enjoyed how much Kevin Owens was on there and the build up for AJ Styles vs. John Cena has been really good. i just wish the interaction between Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose would have been better. it's obvious the writers still don't know how to write the best for them yet. hopefully the ppv this Sunday will be awesome.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:

the New York Yankees play tonight out in Colorado. hopefully they can get back to winning soon.
i did watch some of the NBA Finals last night. i hope Cleveland understands they have to play like that or better to come back and win the series. Game 6 will be on Thursday.
i've got the trash already done as i didn't want to be in pain while doing it. after the soccer is over this afternoon, i think i'm going to take a long shower and get a good back massage while watching television tonight. and hopefully a victory beer or two will help as well.
hard to believe, but it's been 22 years since one of my greatest days as a sports fan.
i hope to god i get to see that again in my lifetime.
that's all for me. i hope everyone is doing well.

when i woke up this morning around 8 or so, i vaguely recalled falling asleep sometime after 5 in the morning. i guess i must have slept too much over the weekend. time to even it all out.
i really enjoyed the Copa America games yesterday. i got home in time to watch the second half of Panama vs. Bolivia. that was pretty entertaining. Panama scored late to win 2-1. that is probably the biggest win in the history of soccer in Panama. the game between Argentina and Chile did not disappoint. it was highly skilled and nasty as hell for most of the 90+ minutes. Argentina won 2-1. Chile scored at the death to make it 2-1.
today is the MUST WIN game for the USA vs. Costa Rica and Colombia vs. Paraguay. if the USA loses tonight, it will be eliminated. if that happens, i'd like to see the coach fired before the night is over.
mom decided she wanted to go to the grocery store last night. i'm telling ya, the grocery store at 7 PM on a Monday night is full of fucking zombies. she had pills to get and thankfully, we were out of there in less than 90 minutes.
the New York Yankees rediscovered the home run last night to beat the Angels 5-2. when Carlos Beltran hit the 3 run homer to give them the lead in the 8th (they hit two solo homers in the 7th), that was the first 3 run homer the Yankees had hit since April. that's a good sign that this offense fucking sucks. they play again tonight. it's HOPE week at the stadium, so hopefully that means more magic.
i did watch all of season 2 of Swerved last night on WWE Network. some of the pranks were really fucking funny. or maybe i was delirious at 3 in the morning.
Monday Night Raw was ok last night. i enjoyed a few of the matches, but i was watching it right before going to bed. i think the shows will get much more interesting after the brand split happens.
i didn't watch much of the Penguins victory over San Jose last night. they can win the Cup on Thursday at home. a part of me hopes they do so the summer hockey silly season can fucking begin. the New York Rangers have a ton of moves they have to make.

i think i know which poem i will be doing for my next SoundCloud recording. look for that in the next day or so.
Deadliest Catch last night was pretty interesting. there's no way i could do that job in the winter.
i also watched Maya & Marty last night. it was much better than i expected.
the New York Yankees wasted some more good starting pitching last night, losing 4-1. the fucking offense is going m.i.a. once again. fucking figures. they will try to avoid the sweep tonight.

i did listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast today. the interview with Rey Mysterio was excellent.
let me sum up the last 13 years of my life, especially when it comes to matters with the opposite sex. i will meet someone, normally online, that takes an interest in me. we'll chat and get to know each other. eventually, the talk gets dirty and some sex (real or imaginative) happens. usually within 24 hours of that happening, the issue of money will be the next conversation. sometimes it's i'm stuck in a foreign country and need money to come back home. or it's i'm taking care of a sick relative that needs surgery or my favorite one... i'm in nursing school and just need the money to help me pay for books. most of these women end up being in Africa or sometimes Europe. now, keep in mind that very early on in the getting to know you phase, i mention that i'm a poet and i am poor. for some fucking reason, that part never gets through. so, now we come to yesterday. i have been talking to this woman online that told me she lived right down the street from me but is over in Germany taking care of sick grandparents. she's supposed to be coming home in a few days and we had talked about meeting up. of course, there was some dirty talk involved. she sent me a picture of her tits and i naturally checked google to see if they were on the internet already. they weren't, which made me think, holy shit, i might have an actual connection with someone. i had a little writing session today and i wrote 6 poems, mostly ones involving this woman in one way or another. so, when i got online this afternoon, the first message from her was she lost her credit card and now needs money to come home. you have got to be shitting me. at this point, i may never talk to another person online ever again. there is a part of me that hopes one day this amazing looking woman shows up at my door and says hello, do you remember... but the old fuck in me that hates the world is currently taking hope out and beating the shit out of it. so, if anyone ever wants to know why i'm single, there you have it. and i have friends that want me to try online dating. why do so many fucking people hate me?
i was not surprised that Golden State won last night. OKC choked once again. so, it now sets up Cleveland vs. Golden State for the second year in a row. well, if LeBron is going to end the Cleveland drought, he's going to have to earn it.
i didn't watch much of the hockey game last night. the only player on Pittsburgh that i will be happy for if they win the cup will be Carl Hagelin. i will always fondly remember his years with the Rangers. the rest of them could all die and i wouldn't give a shit.
the New York Yankees didn't do much last night, losing 4-2. they didn't score until the 9th inning. they play again tonight up in Toronto.
i did enjoy Monday Night Raw last night, mostly for AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows beating the living shit out of John Cena. it was glorious. after Raw, WWE 24 on WWE Network had a show about Seth Rollins return from his knee injury. it was excellent.
enjoy some music:

out of the 6 poems i wrote today, i think a couple of them are pretty good. i want to stay more productive than i normally am in the summer with my writing. hopefully, that actually happens.
it's another hot one here today. i actually saw a hummingbird at one of the feeders today. hopefully it enjoyed what i have out for them.
the NCAA Men's College Lacrosse final certainly didn't disappoint yesterday. North Carolina won in OT. they became the first school to ever win the men's and women's in the same year.
i need to go next door and get the recyclables picked up, so that's all for me today kids.
i hope everyone had a great holiday. if not, i certainly understand.
