may the 4th be with you...

today has been pretty nice. cool, but warm enough to open up the house a bit and enjoy a light breeze. of course, later in the week there's a chance for snow. fuck me.

both episodes of The Last Dance last night were excellent.

the season finale of Westworld was fucking amazing last night.

the series finale of Atlanta's Missing and Murdered:The Lost Children was rather heartbreaking. it also reinforces my belief that the justice system in this country is built on wins and losses, not innocence or guilt. and i also agree if they would have indicted someone from the KKK for the murders, all hell would have broke loose, especially in 1981.

Insecure was really good last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

VICE was good last night.

Billions was excellent last night.

Penny Dreadful:City of Angels was pretty good last night.

Batwoman was really good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, The Voice, Songland and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i did listen to episode 289 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:

tomorrow is the anniversary of putting my father into the ground. so, that should be a good day to send some poems out. i should be on here after that.

i hope everyone had a great weekend, all things considered.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

until tomorrow kids...

solo un día tranquilo en la casa

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:

and when the pain finally lets you fall to sleep at 5 in the morning...

and of course, the fucking phone rings at 9, you know, because the rest of the world operates on normal hours. i was just happy i got breakfast in me by noon. if we get any rain tonight, i think i will drown myself in CBD oil and just live with the results.

the New York Yankees won yesterday in Cleveland, 7-6 in 10 innings. the Yankees were up 5-0 after the second inning. the bullpen pissed that away. and then the defense fucked up in the 9th when the Yankees were winning 6-5. at least they won the fucking game in the 10th. the Yankees start a 2 game series at home tonight against the Mets. i'd love to see them win both games and start a winning streak again.

i only got to watch a little of the Women's World Cup yesterday and today. i do plan on watching all of the USA vs. Thailand tomorrow afternoon.

the USMNT shit the bed yesterday against Venezuela and lost 3-0. my fears about this team are coming true. and if they get embarrassed in the Gold Cup, perhaps the hierarchy will realize they need to start the whole god damn process over again.

here are your highlights from Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final. there will be a Game 7.

Axios was really good last night.

Big Little Lies was great last night, but way too short of an episode. and i can tell already, having Meryl Streep on the show is going to be fucking great.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

the season finale of Billions was perfect last night. and i can't wait for the next season.

The Chi was really good last night. that season finale next week looks great.

Our Cartoon President was fucking crazy last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Desus & Mero. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

Game 5 of the NBA Finals is tonight. i will probably watch some of that. i do expect Toronto to win tonight, even if Kevin Durant plays.

i had to go out and get mom some money from her ATM this afternoon. of course, that's another town over. and then i had to go back to go to another town to get pills from the grocery store. and then drive back into Brookville and buy some lunch. in the car for over 60 minutes. of course, nearly half of that was in the line at Wendy's. joy.

i have to take mom to get her new ID card tomorrow at the DMV. i think she has come to grips with the fact she can no longer drive safely. of course, i'll truly believe it when she only goes for the new ID card and not a driver's license.

i'm hoping to be back by the time the USA women's soccer match starts. and then i'll do the blog after that is over.

i don't want to jump the gun, but it looks like mom might have won her social security disability back. of course, the insurance company called her and not her lawyer. mom saved the message and immediately called the attorney. i'm sure they are happy as well as they will get paid now.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

i never shy away from a challenge

so a friend dared me to write a poem using a line she wrote in a message to me. i couldn't turn down the challenge of fitting "ass raped is gonna be the best poem" into a poem. so, i did a quick brainstorm and within 5 minutes i was typing the poem to her. she liked it and i did as well. i ended up writing and typing up 2 more poems this afternoon. 3 good ones to start off my June. that's good.

i just got out of the shower. my mother asked me how was it? i told her it felt like i was one step closer to death. she asked why and i said i look at us being on a race to death. and you're winning and i'm competitive. she didn't see the humor.

mom's nurse came this morning. everything was good. mom's physical therapist (who is smoking hot, holy shit) came a little later.  everything was good. about 90 minutes later, her occupational therapist came. everything was good. roughly a hour after all that, mom was complaining about her back. i told her to take the stronger pain drug, but of course she wants to be a fucking martyr. so, i will probably be buying more damn ice packs before too long.

the New York Yankees crushed the Blue Jays last night, 12-2. CC pitched great and Gary Sanchez hit 2 home runs. on top of all that, Aaron Hicks had 6 RBI. hopefully they can do it again tonight.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be VICE, NJPW and Real Time with Bill Maher.

i didn't watch any of Game 1 last night. judging from the highlights, Rihanna was probably the most entertaining thing about the game.

i am going to try to be on here tomorrow before the Champions League Final. of course, that all depends on what emergency run i have to make tomorrow; drug store, grocery store, etc. i believe my sister is coming down for the weekend as well. joy.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i need to go figure out what mom wants for dinner. something hot is just a little too vague for me.

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