happy sunday...

 i do love that today happens to be 4/20 and Easter. they go hand in hand most of the time.

night 1 of WrestleMania was good. a few surprises, probably nothing bigger than what happened in the pre-show. WWE has purchased the Mexican promotion AAA. that floored me. i have always been a fan of lucha libre and can only hope that the WWE machine will make it even bigger. as for the matches, i love that Jey Uso won the title. the Paul Heyman double backstab to end up with Seth Rollins was very good. hopefully, it will be even better tonight.

earlier in the day, NXT Stand & Deliver was really good. 

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

here are your two 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, The Last of Us, The Righteous Gemstones and Power Book III: Raising Kanan.

Manchester United plays at home today against Wolves. hopefully, they will find a way to win.

the Yankees lost yesterday, 10-8, in 10 innings. they were up 8-4 in the 9th. you can't lose those games. hopefully, they will win today.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs today.

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 war.

fuck the police.

a night of storms...

 we had some thunderstorms last night, a couple tornado warnings, plenty of fucking wind, but no damage that i could see this morning. of course, i slept like shit, as usual. mom wanted me to wake her up this morning at 9 so she could call her accountant and tell him she wouldn't be coming in today. i guess i will bring him the taxes when she is done with everything. if my mother has mastered one thing in her life... procrastination. 

the Yankees lost last night at home to Arizona, 4-3. they will hopefully avoid the sweep tonight.

the New York Rangers won last night at home against Minnesota, 5-4, in OT.

AEW Dynamite was good last night.

Abbott Elementary was excellent last night.

welcome to the weekend...

 so, last night was a long one. i ended up watching all of that concert last night for the FireAid in Los Angeles. it was amazing.

before that, mom and i watched Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage. that was funny.

we also watched The Wild Robot last night as mom has mentioned more than once she wanted to see that. i thought it was ok.

i did go to Kroger today to pick up some pills. we had a dense as fuck fog last night into this morning. thankfully, by the time i went to Kroger it had mostly gone away.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown and Real Time with Bill Maher.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight at Saint Louis. i'm hoping Dayton plays better and actually wins tonight.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i make a trip to the bank to make a deposit.

i know i will be on here before the New York Rangers play and definitely before i get ready to watch the Royal Rumble tomorrow night.

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

finally, January is close to being over. if this month is a sign of things to come, 2025 is going to be a year of chaos, death and a ton of poems being written by me.

well, we got lucky...

 there was 9 tornadoes around me last night. a few to the north, a bunch more to the south. needless to say, i missed some shows last night because of the storm coverage. but, all in all, i was pleased that we missed out on most of the holy shit weather. just some thunder and lightning and some rain.

the New York Rangers won last night at home over Carolina, 4-3, in 2 OT. the Rangers are now up 2-0 in the series. Game 3 will be on the road tomorrow night.

here are your highlights from the NHL playoffs last night:

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the New York Yankees won last night at home over Houston, 10-3. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

i didn't get to see any of The Voice last night. at least no one on my team got sent home.

NXT was good last night.

the season finale of Dark Side of the Ring brought back some memories last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite, Abbott Elementary and The Masked Singer.

i'm sure i will watch some of the NBA and NHL playoffs tonight as well.

i did a little poetry work last night. hell, i was up until 5 this morning. i have a pretty good idea where i'll be sending poems to in the next few days.

grocery shopping went pretty good today. i got the senior discount at Kroger. i love that at 48, i can easily pass as someone in my late 50's or early 60's. helps that the playoff beard is mostly gray now.

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

until then kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

now i remember why i never wanted to be an adult...

 so, i finally got a phone call through to the pharmacy at Kroger. they had some Trulicity and took all my information and got my prescription transferred over to Kroger from Rite Aid. and amazingly, it was only $25. now, i was hoping they were going to call to say it was ready while i was shopping at Meijer. of course, that call never came. so, i checked the website when i got home and saw it was ready. nothing like going back out during rush hour traffic. this kind of running around is the adult shit i never liked. and given how Manchester United lost yesterday and how the Yankees didn't do much today in the home opener... let alone a fucking earthquake on the east coast today. that was a phone call from the muse this morning i certainly was not expecting...

here are your 3 videos for this day of national poetry month:

so, let me get this shit out of the way. when Manchester United got down 2-0 yesterday at Chelsea, i was not surprised. when they tied it at 2 by halftime, i still wasn't surprised. when Garnacho scored to make 3-2 late, all i was hoping was they were going to show they actually learned their lesson from the last game and could see it out. silly me. Chelsea scored 2 goals in the last 3 minutes to win the game 4-3. to have that loss and then have your next game be at home to Liverpool... if they shit the bed in that like they did at Chelsea, ETH will be looking for a job.

the New York Yankees lost today at home to Toronto, 3-0. that was the first time they were shutout in the home opener since 1967. fuck me.

Young Sheldon was pretty funny last night.

NJPW was really good last night.

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show. i'll watch the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony tonight on Peacock.

the New York Rangers play tonight at Detroit.

i will be on here in the morning tomorrow as WrestleMania weekend kicks off by noon tomorrow.

i did send some poems off last night for the possible inclusion into a new book i will have out in July with one of my favorite female poets, Casey Renee Kiser.

at least it wasn't ice...

 it rained and rained all night long. as you can imagine, i didn't sleep worth a shit. i  probably didn't fall asleep until around 5 AM. thankfully, i woke up and was able to have breakfast before noon. i got all the grocery shopping done and was able to get back home before the next round of weather started. good times.

so, there has been some holy shit news today in pro and college football. Pete Carroll out as Seattle's coach and Nick Saban is retiring from Alabama. 

NXT was very good last night.

Inside the NFL was excellent last night.

Name That Tune was hilarious last night.

Hard Knocks was really good last night.

i think i am going to make bacon cheeseburgers for dinner tonight.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to her foot doctor. we may go out to eat after that, not sure yet.

i'm hoping some poems will come to me in the shower tonight. it usually happens there or when i'm taking a shit. ah, the life of a poet.

laundry day, take 2...

 so, mom decided she was going to do her laundry yesterday. and then, after watching it sit there for hours and hours, i asked her if she wanted my help doing her laundry. she asked why and i said i would like to do my laundry this weekend and i know if i wait on you to finish yours, i'll get to do mine on Thursday or Friday. so, i did her 3 loads last night. and now, as soon as i get this done, i'll do my 3 loads of laundry.

i think it was just hot enough in the house last night, and i had just enough alcohol in me, that given my back pain, i more or less just passed out in my massage chair. i woke up this morning at 5:15. the front door was still open and ESPN was still on. in hindsight, i should have just stayed in the chair. i got 2 lousy hours of sleep in my bed. god i just love having a pinched nerve.

i finally saw The Batman last night. i really enjoyed it. probably my second favorite Batman movie, only behind The Dark Knight. i thought Paul Dano was magnificent as the Riddler. he was so fucking creepy, it was great. 

the Yankees won yesterday against Cleveland, 5-4. of course, everyone is talking about the Yankees fans throwing beer and shit at the Cleveland players. i can't defend the Yankees fans that did that. all i will say is the Cleveland player that climbed the fence to confront the Yankees fans in left field was stupid as fuck to do that. i am old enough to know when you dare incite a rabid fan base, you are asking for it. he should be happy this isn't the 70's and 80's or the beer would have been batteries, etc. the Yankees go for the sweep today. hopefully they will get it without any incidents.

the New York Rangers lost to Boston yesterday, 3-1. that probably means they are going to finish second in the division. they will at least have home ice for the first round, most likely against the Penguins.

here are your NBA highlights from the playoffs yesterday:

here are your 3 videos for this day of National Poetry Month:

i must have the lucky touch these days...

 so, i got some baseball cards today at Meijer. holy shit, i pulled another autograph card from a pack. i have never gone on a streak of two for two. the packs from Big Lots had an autographed basketball card in them. the packs today cost around $26. there was about $60 worth of cards in them. good times.

i didn't find everything i was looking for at Meijer. i did get plenty of coffee though. and luckily, Kroger had called to say that mom's pain pills were ready, so i picked those up on the way home.

the USMNT destroyed Panama last night, 5-1. that puts the boys just about into the World Cup. they need to avoid losing in Costa Rica on Wednesday by 5 or more goals. i think they should easily be able to do that. and once that happens, then they will automatically qualify for the World Cup.

both of the games yesterday in the Elite 8 weren't very close. the Final 4 is set. Duke will play North Carolina and Kansas will play Villanova.

Billions was excellent last night.

Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER was good last night.

Last Week Tonight was BRILLIANT as usual.

Game Theory with Bomani Jones was very good last night.

Power Book IV: Force was really good last night.

hard to believe

 30 years ago i remember buying Nevermind by Nirvana at the Salem Mall. hell, that mall doesn't even exist anymore. it was one of the albums that influenced me more than anything else in this world. and i happened to get it right as poetry was slowly taking over my life. i can remember the lyrics to those songs to this day. and i'm pretty sure Kurt Cobain influenced my writing just as much as Bukowski and Burroughs or Ginsberg did. so, today has been one of those nostalgia mind fucks and a sad reminder that Kurt isn't here to see this. 

Vice News Tonight has another great week of shows.

Big Brother went as i hoped last night. Big D evicted Kyland and he was shocked. of course, he then started to talk shit about Xavier to his face and i was waiting for Xavier to lose his cool and deck the fucker. so now the final 3 is a King and two Jokers. almost fucking literally.

the season finale of Holey Moley was crazy last night.

NXT UK was really good last night.

What We Do in the Shadows was very funny last night.

Dark Side of the Ring was about Chris Kanyon last night. i remember watching that guy back in WCW and being amazed at his moves for his size.

The Masked Singer was crazy as usual last night.

Alter Ego was crazy as well last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Smackdown, AEW Rampage, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Shop and Back On the Record with Bob Costas. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock.

the Yankees start a critical series tonight at Boston. if they can win the series, they will greatly increase the chances of them making the playoffs. 

since Manchester United plays early as fuck tomorrow, i will probably write the blog after their game with Aston Villa. hopefully, i will be happy.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. 

the weather here has been damn near perfect today. i was able to open up the house and let it air out some. i waited until it was a little warmer since we started out in the 40's today. i'm hoping it stays like this all weekend.

that's all for me kids...

the Yankees blew a 6-0 lead last night, but still found a way to win, 7-6, over Oakland. that's 12 wins in a row, their longest winning streak since 1961. hopefully, they will win again tonight.

NXT UK was good last night.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. Derek X was evicted, 5-2. Tiffany is the new HOH.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, The Shop, Real Time with Bill Maher, On The Record with Bob Costas and AEW Rampage. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on Peacock. 

so, i went to bed last night and all the rumors were CR7 would be going to Manchester City. this morning, the narrative has flipped and now the homecoming to Manchester United looks most likely. i never saw that coming. quick update. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, CR7 is coming home...

mom has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. she got most of her numbers from her blood draw yesterday and they look pretty good. hopefully, good enough that they can take her off or have her take less pills each day.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow. 

i hope everyone has a great weekend.

Manchester United came from behind yesterday (yet again) and defeated Brighton, 2-1. this greatly increases their chances of finishing in the top 4 of the Premier League this season.

the Yankees lost to Toronto yesterday, 3-1. they start a series at home tonight against Baltimore.

VICE was excellent last night.

Shameless was great last night. the series finale is next week.

i got my order of baseball cards from Repacked Wax today. i was absolutely thrilled with some of the cards i got... a 1970 Topps Willie Stargell, 3 cards from the 1960's, a 1975 Topps Joe Torre, a 1987 Donruss Barry Bonds rookie card and a 1981 Topps Phil Niekro. all in all, i think i got way more than what i paid for the 10 packs.

well, WrestleMania week starts tonight. the next 9 days or so are going to be full of wrestling. speaking of that, i did listen to episode 337 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can hear that by going here:

i did write 2 poems last night, including the first one i have written about my mother and her near death experience. i was amazed i was able to fit that on just two pages.

Easter dinner went well yesterday. mom got plenty of food from Bob Evans. enough that my sister, her friend and we will have plenty of leftovers for this week.

that's all for me kids.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.
