better luck next time...

 so, i decided to go out today and see if i could find any baseball cards. i tried 3 different stores and didn't find shit. oh well. i had to go to Kroger to get mom's pills and some other stuff she wanted. by that time, i had already been defeated. i figure i'll try again on Wednesday.

your poet of the day for this day of National Poetry Month is MK Chavez.

the New York Rangers defeated New Jersey yesterday, 5-3. that completed a 4 game sweep of the last 4 games. the Rangers are knocking on the door for that last playoff spot in their division.

Manchester United defeated Burnley yesterday, 3-1. 

most of the talk after the game was about the European Super League. i'm totally against it. it is nothing but a bunch of greedy fucking owners trying to squeeze every last fucking dollar out of the world they can.

the Yankees got swept by Tampa yesterday, losing 4-2. thank fucking god they are off tonight. they haven't started this bad in 25 fucking years.

VICE was excellent last night.

City on a Hill was really good last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking hilarious last night.

Batwoman was great last night.

The Nevers was really good last night.

Mare of Easttown was great last night. i think i am going to really like this show.

Last Week Tonight was fucking brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Monday Night Raw, The Voice and Miz & Mrs.

i did listen to episode 339 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:

i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow. i think i need to take mom out to her bank to get my name on the checking account. and then, i think she wants to get her hair cut. i need one badly, so that will be nice. 

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck the police.

black lives matter.

stay healthy.

wash your fucking hands.

wear your mask.

get the shot.

así que ahora ella me ama

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:

beat down and tired

so like a dumb ass, i decided to give a shit about the Red Sox vs. Yankees last night. 19 innings later, i remember why baseball stopped being my favorite sport in my 20's. needless to say, i'm running on little sleep, my sister is back in town, and i have a farm to go help clean out. these are the days where i wish i drank coffee or was addicted to heroin.

welcome to the 11th day of National Poetry Month. today, i'd like to highlight the lazy bastard i am and just post three random YouTube videos that i happen to enjoy. well, the first two poets i really like and have been published with. the third video got me with the title. anyone that knows my dating history of black women, they will understand. hope you enjoy, go support, etc. etc.

i will give the Yankees credit for at least fighting back last night. but they pissed away chance after chance to win the game in extra innings. they have way too many left handed bats and are too easy to pitch to at the moment. hopefully that changes as the season goes on... though i doubt it will. Yanks lose 6-5 in 19 innings. you can imagine how much i needed a beer after that game. they play again this afternoon. thankfully, i will miss it.

today is the final day of the NHL regular season. so by tonight, i'll know who the Rangers will face in the first round and if i made a miracle comeback in fantasy hockey. the Rangers play in Washington this afternoon.

i believe Saturday Night Live is new tonight. i'll watch that, if i happen to not be completely dead by the end of today. on the DVR will be ROH.

not sure when i will be on here tomorrow as the Manchester derby is happening. i suppose it depends on just how much we get done at the farm today. my back isn't feeling great from moving some shit this morning, so this could get interesting in a few hours.

the weather looks great outside. hopefully i'll actually get to enjoy it.

raise a glass for the weekend and i do hope it never gets empty.

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...
