i'm betting on history today...

 honestly, i never thought the goals record in hockey was ever going to fall. Alex Ovechkin just need one goal to set the new record.




speaking of hockey, the New York Rangers lost at New Jersey yesterday, 4-0. 



the USWNT defeated Brazil yesterday, 2-0.



the Yankees won yesterday at Pittsburgh, 10-4. they go for the sweep today.








Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.







AEW Collision was ok last night.



i did watch both games in the men's final four yesterday.






here are your videos for this day of National Poetry Month:






enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be The Americas, Yellowjackets, the season finale of The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones, Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Last Week Tonight.


Manchester United plays at home today against Manchester City. i really hope United finds a way to win today.



i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow before i have to take mom to a doctor's appointment in the afternoon.


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


until tomorrow kids...

running on fumes...

i guess you could say i'm on the comedown now... of course, i'm burning the candle at both ends again. as i tell anyone who wants to listen. place your bets on the under on how many years i live. i can easily say i won't be here 25 years from now. and if i am, you can blame whatever angel decided i was worth the effort.

i had to take mom to get her blood work done again today. i guess her doctor didn't like the kidney numbers on the earlier one this week. she sees him on Monday. after that, she wanted to go to Bob Evans. i joked that it was before 4 PM, so we should beat the early dinner crowd. our waitress was on her first day on the job. that was fun. i gave her a good tip, mostly because she was drop dead gorgeous.

the New York Yankees lost last night in 12 innings to Tampa, 2-1. hopefully, they will get the split in the series tonight.

the New York Rangers got their first win of the preseason last night, 3-1 over the Islanders.

Smackdown was good last night, as was 205 Live.

Mayans M.C. had a nice oh fuck moment last night. loved it.

Mr. Mercedes was excellent last night.

The Voice was good last night.

The Jim Jefferies Show was hilarious last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be NXT, the season finale of Big Brother, American Horror Story, Cake and The Masked Singer. i'll watch NXT UK sometime tonight on WWE Network.

Manchester United played Rochdale today in the League Cup. thank god i didn't watch. United ended up winning on penalty kicks, 5-3. i believe Rochdale plays 2 leagues below United. great.

i'll be on here tomorrow in the late afternoon again. i have a doctor's appointment at 2. when i get back home, i think mom wants me to take her to get her haircut. lord knows, i need one as well. so, if that happens, i'll be on here after we're all done.

that's all for me kids. thankfully tonight is full of mindless entertainment.

until tomorrow...

¿Cuándo va a enfriarse el clima?

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

i had no clue i was moving into a wind tunnel

i swear for the last week or so the wind has been blowing 35 mph or higher every fucking day. hopefully, the roof stays on...

for National Poetry month, i give you:

the New York Rangers once again started a game last night asleep. they were down 2-0 to Tampa and i was not fucking happy. thankfully, they woke the fuck up and came back to win 3-2. they need to start playing complete games here soon because this kind of shit won't work in the playoffs.

after watching The Voice last night, i am really looking forward to the live shows. Deadliest Catch was really good last night. and Total Divas was the usual hot mess it always is.

enjoy some music kids:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Lucha Underground. after that i'll be watching NXT on WWE Network.

the New York Yankees will look for their first win of the season tonight against Houston. they have to win tonight if they want to win the series. i'd like them to get back into that mode of thinking so they won't have to sweat making the playoffs like they have for the past couple seasons.

the only thing else going on around here is the shitty weather and my bizarre dreams. looks like it is time to get some more poetry out there.

that's all for me kids. i hope this finds everyone enjoying something calm and peaceful. or not.

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...

welcome to the weekend

yesterday, the Yankees committed one of the sins of all sports. when coming from behind, once you take the lead, you can't give that lead right back and expect to win. the Yankees did exactly that as they lost 8-3. thankfully, MLB blackout rules will keep me from seeing today's game. another loss would not shock me at all. i get the feeling this team is going to frustrate the living shit out of me this season.

last night, the Rangers played about the best road game they have played all season. they lost 2-1 in a shootout unfortunately. they did get a huge point. they play a struggling Carolina team tonight, and 2 points is a MUST. i figure i will flip to that during commercial breaks of the Final 4.

the weather warmed up a bit today but, and given that i've lived all my 37 years in the state of Ohio, there's always a but when it comes to the weather, the wind is colder than shit. what is supposed to be in the 60's feels like the 40's. fuck me.

bird feeder update: i guess the deer repellent and raccoon repellent worked as the bird feeder was still hanging this morning. now, we'll see how long it lasts.

spent the rest of this morning watching and listening to Wrestlemania interviews, checking out ROH ppv results (i'm a bit shocked to say the least), and listening to Bert Kreischer's podcast. i highly recommend the latest podcast, especially if you need a good laugh today. you can find it at http://bertcast.com/

new SNL tonight and a little ROH tv before i go to bed and get ready for my Sunday as a child. Wrestlemania is the only wrestling ppv i get each year and i have seen all 28 so far. from the first one going to Hara Arena with my father to watch on closed circuit television to last year watching on a big screen out here on the farm. i'm hoping Wrestlemania 29 will shock a few people this year. i'm kind of amazed at the number of people who are already shitting on it before it happens. of course, i shouldn't be that shocked seeing that wrestling fans think they know exactly what is best for the show. and considering i'm one of those fans, perhaps my positive thoughts are simply wishing for the best.

any posts from me tomorrow will be early. and if you email, don't worry, i'll get to it eventually. but for most of tomorrow i'll be in front of a television.

the poet of the day on my Google+ page is Daphne Gottlieb.

hope this post finds everyone well, with a fresh drink in your hand, not a single care in the fucking world at the moment.
