my mom asked me last night if i thought she was going to die before spring? how the fuck do i answer that? i replied to her, what do you want to hear? i know why she is depressed. it is coming up on the 23rd anniversary of her second husband's death. she has never stopped grieving that. i never expect her to as i know there is no time table for the grieving process. i also know she is in pain and nothing is working to help her really. what pisses me off is she won't ask for help until she absolutely needs it. and then, will get mad at me for helping her because apparently i don't do it the way she wants me to. i'm trying to keep my cool and remain calm, but i know how i have no patience for this kind of shit. this is where i have to just give her as much space as possible and hope she comes to her fucking senses at some point and just lets me do this shit. it is painfully obvious that this world has past her by now.
here are your links for this day of Black History Month:
since i wrote 5 poems last night, i am running on a little over 3 hours of sleep right now. i knew i wanted to be up for the Manchester United game this morning. i should have just forced myself to sleep more. United lost at Brighton, 2-1. gave up the winning goal in the 95th minute. fuck me.
the Yankees won last night at home against Colorado, 3-0. today is Old Timer's Day at the stadium. hopefully, the Yankees will win again.
Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.
AEW Rampage was good last night.
Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be AEW Collision.
i will probably be on here later in the afternoon to send out some poems.
college football starts today. i'm sure i will watch some of those games.
i think there is some NASCAR tonight. i might watch some of that as well.
i am hopefully going to get some sleep before the Yankees start this afternoon.
i hope everyone has a great Saturday.
until tomorrow kids...

the Yankees have been constantly testing my patience this season, especially with the bullpen. Clay Holmes blew another fucking save last night. i'm not sure why they insist on having a guy who doesn't strike everyone out as their closer. of course, it has been 15 years since they have won anything, so... they lost to Detroit last night, 3-2, in 10 innings. they are off tonight and start a series Tuesday at home against Cleveland.
the NASCAR race had to finish today because of the rain yesterday. sadly, neither driver i had money on to win did.
Big Brother was good last night.
Industry was excellent last night.
Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Name That Tune.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
i might actually be able to turn the air conditioner off for a couple days this coming week.
i don't plan on watching any of the convention this week. i'll catch some highlights as i already know which way i am voting.
i got my orders in today from Topps and Death Wish Coffee. that made me happy.
i will hopefully write some poems tonight. i have a few ideas running in my head.
i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.
until then kids...

so, i went to bed last night before 3 AM. you know, trying to be a responsible human after all these years. i first saw the clock at 4:19. fuck me. i eventually got up to take a raging piss at 7:30. i know i didn't get 4 hours of sleep last night. joy. i've spent the morning making sure mom doesn't fall or do anything stupid. fun times.
the Yankees lost yesterday at Detroit, 4-0. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.
AEW Collision was ok last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Industry and Last Week Tonight.
i will probably watch some soccer today; maybe some golf and some NASCAR.
i think it is supposed to rain this afternoon, so i'm guessing i will be icing my back down for most of the afternoon.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope you have an even better Sunday.
i should be on here tomorrow in the afternoon most likely.

i had all these plans today. i was having a good morning and was getting ready to go to the post office. i got an ice pack as i wanted to ice my back before i went. and then the plan was to come home and start my laundry. well, apparently i must have got the ice on the right spot as i fell asleep and woke up 4 hours later. holy shit. i saw the time and was stunned. of course, i was sweating, so i looked to see what the temperature was in the house. 77. oh fuck. i shut all the windows and doors and turned the air on. at least my back felt better.
so yeah, i guess tomorrow will be my busy day.
the Yankees won yesterday against the Rangers, 8-7. they start a series tonight on the road at the White Sox. these are games the Yankees have to win. the White Sox fucking suck this year.
i did watch the closing ceremony of the Olympics. it was good. and overall, i thought the Olympics were really good.

Industry was fucking great last night.

i did catch some of the NASCAR race last night. i wasn't exactly thrilled with the finish since i had money on Denny Hamlin to win the race.
i should be on here sometime tomorrow. kind of depends on if my back hijacks my day again i guess.
i need to go figure out dinner.

i believe it all really started when i was living out at the farm by myself. i was on such a third shift schedule, that i would be up most of every night. so, every few days around 3 or 4 AM, i would just take a shower. now, the hope has always been that it would help me sleep better. the reality is it never has. last night, i never could find the right water temperature for my back, so i just tried to get it done as quickly as possible. now, when i do find the right water temperature, i try to loosen my back up as much as i can.
i did write 3 more poems last night. that brings my total to 6 for this month. the goal is usually to write a poem a day at the very least. i have fallen woefully short of that this year. good times.
i did watch plenty of sports yesterday.
the Yankees won game 1 of the doubleheader yesterday, 8-0. they lost game 2 to the Rangers, 9-4. hopefully, they will find a way to win today.
Manchester United lost yesterday against Manchester City. if they would have been clinical, they would have won the Community Shield. oh well.
the USWNT won the gold medal yesterday, beating Brazil, 1-0. first gold for them since 2012.
the USA men's basketball team won the gold yesterday, defeating France, 98-87.

hard to believe today is the last day of June. i went to bed last night before 2 AM. sadly, all that means anymore is i will be up by 6 AM. sure enough. at least my blood sugar was lower. i got the notice in the mail yesterday why the Rybelsus was denied. apparently, just because a drug is unavailable, doesn't mean you can change over to the another drug in the same class. apparently, the insurance is ok with me going without my medicine and just get so bad you have no choice but to go on insulin for the rest of your life. fuck me.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday at Toronto, 9-3. hopefully, they will split the series today.
the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were good. Switzerland defeated Italy 2-0 and Germany beat Denmark 2-0. today England plays Slovakia and Spain takes on Georgia.
i did watch some of the Copa America games last night. Argentina beat Peru 2-0 and Canada and Chile played to a 0-0 draw. that means Argentina and Canada both advance to the knockout rounds. today, Mexico plays Ecuador and Jamaica takes on Venezuela.
AEW Collision was good last night.
enjoy some music:
and now some of this and that:
on the DVR tonight will be The Chi and Power Book II: Ghost.
other than soccer, i'm sure i will watch some NASCAR and golf today, all in hopes of getting some more sleep.
i went to Rite Aid yesterday and the pharmacy was closed. so, guess where i'll be going back to today...
i will probably be on here tomorrow after a trip to the bank.
i hope everyone had a good Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

so, let me start off with the most unexpected thing that happened yesterday. if i had known what was going to happen, i would have put more than fifty cents on the game. Manchester United defeated Manchester City yesterday, 2-1, to win the FA Cup. when Kobbie Mainoo scored to make it 2-0, i felt like i was in a fucking dream. Garnacho scored the first goal for United. to have both goals scored by 19 year olds is something that i hope means good things in the future. City scored late but it truly was a day to paint the town red. i have no clue if ETH keeps his job or not. i won't be surprised if they do fire him. hell, they have fired coaches before after winnings titles. if it was his last game as manager, that is probably the best way he could have gone out.
the New York Yankees won last night in San Diego, 4-1. they go for the sweep this afternoon.
WWE King and Queen of the Ring was good yesterday.

the New York Rangers play Game 3 this afternoon down in Florida. i'm hoping the boys find a way to win.
i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA playoffs today, as well as the Indy 500 and probably some of the NASCAR race as well.
we're supposed to have some strong storms come through today, so i imagine i will be on tornado watch as well. good times.
i need to go ice my back down and try to catch a nap before the Rangers play this afternoon.
i hope everyone had a great Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

so, i was up last night watching the Women's World Cup between washing the dishes and texting the spanish princess. was one of the few nights here lately where i wasn't swimming in a sea of pain. i wish i could say the same for today.
i made breakfast this morning and of course, my arthritis had to be raging. and then my bad back decided it wanted some attention while i was making some eggs. it never fails. if i get more than a few hours where i feel pain free i'm going to pay for it and feel like i'm crippled. these are the days where i wish i could get so fucking high that i would get worried about ever coming back down.
the New York Yankees won yesterday at home against the Royals, 5-2. they are currently up in today's game, 4-0. hopefully, they will get the sweep.
Manchester United defeated Arsenal yesterday, 2-0. Arsenal's coach wanted them to do penalty shots after the game, just so his players could get used to being in front of a large crowd doing that. United won that as well, 5-3.
i did catch some of the Leagues Cup last night. i'll watch some of that tonight as well.

i was having a pretty productive morning, which was kind of surprising since mom had one of those dreams where she woke up with a scream at 4 in the morning bitching about frogs in her shoes. of course, i wasn't asleep yet, mostly because i never feel comfortable going to sleep until i know she is actually asleep. fun times. so yeah, i got a few things done this morning and sure enough, my bad back decided it wanted all the attention. so, i iced my back down and put on some tennis. i figured that would put me to sleep. i got almost two hours. joy.
the New York Yankees lost yesterday in St. Louis, 5-1. they start a series tonight at home against Baltimore.
the USMNT defeated Trinidad & Tobago 6-0 last night to win their group in the Gold Cup.

i did listen to episode 454 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:
i'm not really happy that the New York Knicks are trading Obi Toppin to the Pacers. i am happy for Obi though, as he is going to a team that might actually know how to use him better. so, i guess i will be a Pacers fan now.
we had the windows open last night after the storms went through. the fucking fireworks were close enough that if i was a war veteran i would have taken cover and grabbed a weapon. should be a fun next couple of days.
i had to go to the local grocery store to get a few things for tomorrow. potato salad, coleslaw, macaroni salad and i got an apple pie as well. and of course, by the time i got home and started eating lunch, Rite Aid texted me for the prescription i ran out of this morning. good times.
i did watch a little of the NASCAR race yesterday.
i will hopefully be on here tomorrow in the morning.
dinner tonight is going to be eggs and bacon. i figured we haven't done breakfast for dinner in a few months now.
i hope everyone had a great weekend.
