Happy Fourth of July

 i hope everyone has a great Fourth of July.




i've been up since 7 AM. don't ask me why.


the Yankees lost last night to the Reds, 3-2. hopefully, they will avoid the sweep this afternoon.



AEW Dynamite was good last night.








i got 9 out of 10 MLS games right last night.





enjoy some music:




and now some of this and that:







nothing on the DVR tonight. 


today will be baseball. this evening will be the copa america. and then tonight, probably fireworks.


i don't have any concrete plans for today. i might reconfigure my small ass room, just to see if i can get it to where i can get all my clothes into the dressers. what that really means is i might have a large ass donation to the Vietnam Vets soon.


i hope the weather is good wherever you happen to be. i know it is supposed to start raining here at noon. 


i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow.


enjoy the holiday...


until tomorrow kids...

Happy 4th of July...

 so, first off, i want to wish everyone a safe and happy 4th of July.




i was hoping to get up earlier today, but apparently the shower i took at 2 in the morning actually did the trick. i didn't get up until 10 this morning. i know i got at least 6 solid hours of sleep. fuck, that might as well be a coma for me.


the New York Yankees won last night at home against Baltimore, 6-3. hopefully, they will win again this afternoon.







Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night.











enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:








on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Deadliest Catch.


the only tradition i truly have on today is watching the hot dog eating contest. it is currently in a lightning delay.


i will probably watch plenty of the MLS today as well as the Gold Cup.


i should be on here tomorrow after i get the grocery shopping done.


i hope everyone has a great holiday. stay safe, have fun, and please, stop fucking shooting each other.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.


black lives matter.


stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay off the fucking streets.


get the fucking shot.

happy 4th of July...

 i remember this holiday was a fun one for me when i was a kid. fireworks, cookouts, parties, sunshine, etc... but now as an adult, fireworks don't do anything for me. if i would be having a cookout, i would be the one cooking. i haven't been to a party in years. sunshine isn't that big of a deal to me ever since mom got skin cancer. and the true meaning of independence day is lost on so many sheep in this country. and besides that, not everyone is allowed to celebrate this day. which honestly, to see the amount of bigotry and ignorance still in this country in 2022 is beyond fucking depressing.


and speaking of that, i sat down to write yesterday. 2 hours of sitting and looking at a blank page. 2 hours of nothing. so, now i really know i am depressed. i was hoping a shower at 3 in the morning would help. i got out this morning and fed the birds and watered the tomato plants. and yeah, still fucking depressed. so yeah, not exactly the mood i wanted for the 4th of July. 


the Yankees had more errors than hits yesterday. they lost to Cleveland, 2-0. they are off today and start a series in Pittsburgh tomorrow night.


the season finale of The Man Who Fell to Earth was excellent last night.




both episodes of We Hunt Together were good last night. i might just binge the series later this week since there are only 6 episodes.



The Chi was excellent last night.



Flatbush Misdemeanors was pretty funny last night.


Westworld was very good last night.



enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw and Miz and Mrs.


the USWNT plays tonight against Haiti in group play of the CONCACAF women's championship.




i did watch most of the USMNT U-20 game last night against the Dominican Republic. the USA won 6-0 to win the tournament.



the only tradition i have for the 4th of July anymore is watching the hot dog eating contest. i have that on in the background right now.


Joey Chestnut won his 15th title, eating 63 hot dogs. just imagine that bowel movement.



i did listen to episode 402 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can find that by going here:



i'm not sure when i will be on here tomorrow.


i hope everyone had a great weekend.


and whatever you are doing today and tonight, i hope you have a wonderful time.


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck war.


fuck the police.


black lives matter.


stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay socially distant.


get the fucking shot.

happy 4th of July

 



i hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July.


the fuckers around here have shot off so many damn fireworks the last couple of nights, i have no clue how the fuck they would have any left for tonight.


the Yankees lost yesterday to the Mets, 8-3. they play a doubleheader today. if the Yankees lose both games they should be happy that George Steinbrenner is dead. if he was still the owner, there would be heads on stakes at Yankee Stadium after this shit. 




here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:


so, the NBA Finals are set. Milwaukee vs. Phoenix.


at the Euro 2020 yesterday, Denmark defeated Czech Republic, 2-1. England whipped Ukraine, 4-0. the semifinals are now set. Italy plays Spain on July 6th and England will play Denmark on July 7th.




at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia defeated Uruguay on penalty kicks, 0-0 (4-2) and Argentina defeated Ecuador, 3-0. the semifinals at the Copa America will be Brazil vs. Peru on July 5th and Colombia vs. Argentina on July 6th.




i did watch the Columbus Crew vs. New England Revolution game yesterday. it finished 2-2. i wanted to see what the new stadium looks like in Columbus. it does look amazing, at least on television.


ROH was really good last night.


enjoy some music:






and now some of this and that:









on the DVR tonight will be The One And Only Dick Gregory.


i will be watching the hot dog eating contest like i do every 4th of July.


i'm sure i will watch some fireworks tonight and hopefully won't be pissed off at two Yankees losses.


i will probably watch some NASCAR today, especially if i need a good nap.


i did go out and water the tomatoes this morning. it is supposed to get up to 90 today, so i don't think we're going to be opening the windows.


i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. 


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


until tomorrow kids...


fight the power.


fuck racism.


fuck hatred.


fuck the police.


black lives matter.


stay healthy.


wash your fucking hands.


stay socially distant.


get the shot.

independence, what a concept

so i've been up since 5 this morning, mostly because i'm not ashamed to admit that i love pro wrestling enough that i sacrifice sleep for it. and for at least two matches, it was absolutely worth it. more on that later.

happy July 4th to everyone. enjoy the fireworks, hot dogs, burgers, beers, and whatever else you do on this day:

last night was an interesting one. first off, team USA did not play that well against Guatemala, but still came away with a 4-0 win. hopefully they play better when the Gold Cup starts in a few days. i did like this goal though:
it's about fucking time...

the New York Yankees got behind 3-0 last night and i figured, given the pitcher they were facing, it was done. silly me. Tampa took their starter out and the Yankees offense finally showed up. Tex hit a huge 3 run HR that tied the game in the 8th. the Yankees pissed away chance after chance to win the game. and then the 12th inning happened. i'm fucking sick and tired of Girardi over managing this team. he brought in a reliever when he didn't need to and of course, Tampa goes up 5-3. thankfully, Tampa walked the lead off batter of the bottom of the 12th. then the inning goes like this: strikeout, hit by A-Rod beating the shift, single by Tex to score a run, and then boom. there was fireworks going off outside the stadium. Brian McCann made sure they went off inside as well.
easily the best win of the season. they play again this afternoon.

NJPW was excellent last night. hopefully one day the promotion will start airing matches in this country that are currently going on.

enjoy a quick music break boys and girls:

the WWE event this morning, Beast in the East, started off great. Jericho vs. Neville was a very good match. the ladies match was good, not great. i did like how they booked Brock Lesnar as he virtually killed The New Day. but for some fucking reason, the WWE put on the match that should have finished the show next. Balor vs. Owens was a fucking classic. and as much as i love Kevin Owens, this was the proper thing to see after the match:

hopefully this means Kevin Owens will be winning Cena's US Championship in 2 weeks. the "main event" ended up being Cena and Ziggler vs. Kane and King Barrett. who the fuck gives a shit about a match that you could easily see on television on any Monday or Thursday. stupid, stupid, stupid. if i was booking the show, i put Owens and Balor on last and tell the vets to suck it up, they are better than you are. get over it. all in all, i'm glad i was up to watch it. it just could have been a much better show if the 3rd match of the year that Kevin Owens has been in would have gone on last.

the rest of my day looks like this: watching the Hot Dog eating contest, watching the Yankees, watching some soccer, including the Copa America final between Chile and Argentina. i figure tonight i'll find some fireworks on the television somewhere and then watch ROH and god knows what else. in between all that sitting on my ass, i'm figuring there will be some food bad for me, a long nap, a few items put together that mom wants done, and some bird watching as that is what passes for entertainment in this glorified retirement community i'm in.

i did talk to a stranger on Google+ this morning. i know, you have heard this before. her name is Rose, single, no kids, etc. so far, she hasn't mentioned needing money or Nigeria, so things are looking up. plus, her picture looks nice as well. that is probably a red flag, but i have the dreamer's disease.

that's all for me today. hope everyone has a great weekend. be safe. have fun. stay out of jail.

be careful, you'll blow off your hand...

i've never been much of a fireworks guy. once i entered my teens, anytime the fireworks started, it was the time to go sneak off and do drugs, drink, or make out. i suppose the 38 year old pervert inside of me misses those days the most. not that there was a ton of making out going on. but the drugs, man the drugs...

holy shit, the Yankees won last night, 7-4. Tanaka was not at his best but the offense woke up for a night. they called up a kid from the minors (well, not really a kid, spent 8 years down there) who homered in his second at bat. Beltran hit a huge 3 run homer. and thankfully, Phil Hughes went back to being the same shitty Phil Hughes that used to pitch for the Yankees. they play again this afternoon. maybe they will remember what a winning streak is.

i am looking forward to the World Cup games today. Germany plays France and Brazil takes on Colombia. i have Germany and Brazil advancing, even though i would not be shocked if that doesn't happen. i expect two really good games today.

i don't really have anything planned for tonight, so i imagine i'll find something on tv to watch. and then maybe a creative outburst at some point.

Joey did get eliminated from Big Brother last night. might be one of the worst players EVER. the new HOH's are Amber and Devin. there goes my hope of Devin leaving the house this week. and i don't think the other pussies in his alliance have the guts to even figure out a way to back door him this week. not sure why people play the game this way. of course, i don't even bother to try out for the show, so i'm one to talk.

was kind of stunned when i got that poem published this morning. wasn't expecting that at all. i still find it amazing at how much the internet has changed the life of a poet. never when i started dreaming of getting published in my teens did i ever think it could possibly happen within a day.

i had some pizza last night for dinner. i think there was just enough of grease in it that i have flushed everything but my soul down the toilet this morning. try shaking that visual out of your head today.

hope everyone has a great holiday. for everyone else outside of this country, hope you enjoy the World Cup games.

be well. be creative. be safe. be worried about that extra hot dog.

peace and chicken, ribs, brisket, turkey, hot dog, sausage and pork chop grease...
