overslept, for once...

 i think i got nearly 6 hours of sleep last night. not sure how that happened. i did write 5 poems last night. 4 for the book and 1 for the general pile. i also need to come up with a title for the book. if anyone has any suggestions, i'd love to hear them.

the New York Rangers won last night at Las Vegas, 2-1. i certainly didn't expect that victory.

i did watch a good portion of both NFL playoff games yesterday. i'm sure i will watch most of all 3 today.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

AEW was ok last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be The Agency and Dexter: Original Sin.

so, Manchester United and Arsenal are 1-1 in extra time of their FA Cup match today. United is down to 10 men, so i'm not looking forward to the rest of this.

i am looking forward to the NFL games today. Denver at Buffalo, Packers at Eagles and Washington at Tampa Bay.

at some point today, i will probably doing my laundry.

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...

fuck racism.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

 thankfully, we didn't lose power like some people around here did. but, we are definitely in the summer cycle again. heat up during the day and then a chance for some oh fuck storms at night. good times.

the Yankees lost the first game of the doubleheader yesterday, 11-4. they won the second game, 6-2. hopefully, they will win the series this afternoon.

opening day...

 this used to be as close to a fucking holiday for me as anything when i was a kid. opening day of the MLB season. now that i'm older, i still get up for this day, but not nearly as much as i did when i was a kid. i will be glued to the Yankees game for a few innings at least. i placed my first baseball bets today. hopefully, there will be plenty of runs today.

AEW Dynamite and AEW All Access were both really good last night.

the New York Knicks won last night at home against Miami, 101-92.

gearing up for a long ass week...

 now that mom is back into physical therapy, the weeks are going to be micro-managed to death. between her appointments and all the other shit i have to do, time to write this blog, poetry, etc. is going to have to be squeezed in where it can. so, don't be shocked if this blog has no set timetable for the next few weeks. i would love to get it done tomorrow in the morning as she has physical therapy in the afternoon and then i'm hoping to get an appointment to get my blood drawn. and of course, she wants to get her blood drawn at the same time. 

the New York Rangers won at Florida yesterday, 4-3. thankfully, the "kid line" saved them after getting down 2-0. the boys are now just 2 points from clinching a playoff spot.

i did watch some MLS games last night:

here are your NBA highlights from last night:

half of the Final Four is now set. should be interesting to see who gets the final two spots today.

AEW Rampage was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Power Book II: Ghost, Yellowjackets and Succession.

i'm sure i will watch some hockey today as well as college basketball.

the wind finally has moved out of the area. thankfully, our power never went out. i certainly don't miss the windy days on the farm, always worrying about which tree was going to clip which power line.

if all goes well, i will be on here in the morning tomorrow. if not, the blog will be much later in the afternoon.

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

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

 so, after a few days of really nice weather, it got cold again. we're under a freeze warning for tonight. thankfully, we haven't put out any flowers yet. 

mom wanted McDonald's for breakfast this morning. i must have picked the right time to go as there was no line at the Brookville one. of course the trade off for that was the frozen Coke mom wanted wasn't available. 

Monday Night Raw was really good last night.

American Song Contest was good last night.

the series finale of Better Things was excellent last night. i will miss this show.

here are your highlights from the NBA playoffs last night:

the Yankees start a series tonight at home against Baltimore. hopefully, they will win.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Carolina. they are 4 points behind Carolina for the division title. so, i would love if the Rangers would beat them tonight just to put a little seed of doubt into their heads.

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

the joys of nostalgia...

 so night 1 of WrestleMania was better than i think anyone was ever expecting. my favorite moments were Cody Rhodes coming back as the American Nightmare, using everything he used while he was in AEW. that was like WWE admitting, yeah, you guys did it better and we can't think of something better than that... and the work of Kevin Owens in his match against Stone Cold Steve Austin was perfect. and the bumps that Austin took after not having a match in 19 years were fucking insane. honestly, if night 2 is even close to last night, this will be one of the best WrestleManias in years.

NXT Stand & Deliver was excellent as well yesterday.

Saturday Night Live was hilarious last night.

i did get to watch Jerrod Carmichael's comedy special Rothaniel yesterday. it was fucking great, as usual.

thank god North Carolina beat Duke last night. they will play Kansas on Monday for the national championship.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Billions, Super Pumped: The Battle for UBER, Shining Vale, Last Week Tonight and Game Theory with Bomani Jones.

Manchester United and Leicester played to a 1-1 draw yesterday. i pretty much have given up hope that United is going to finish in the top 4.

the New York Rangers play tonight at home against Philadelphia. hopefully, the Rangers will play much better than their last game and win tonight.

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

i helped mom change the toilet seat in her bathroom today. my back is totally fucked now. so, i'm going to spend most of the rest of the day and night in my massage chair with some ice. watching more wrestling than any one human probably should.

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

the Dayton Flyers won last night at home against Rhode Island, 53-51. i watched most of the game on the television. i'm happy i wasn't there as i'm sure i would have been miserable given that Dayton couldn't put the ball into the ocean last night. but thankfully, they actually won one of these ugly ass games for a change.

the New York Rangers pissed away a 2 goal lead again last night. they lost to Minnesota, 3-2. the ceremony to retire The King's #30 last night was excellent, as usual.

the season finale of Chillin Island was very good last night.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was very good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.

i'm sure i will watch some college basketball today. i am planning on watching the WWE Royal Rumble on Peacock tonight.

woke up this morning...

 to the news of Anne Rice's death. i can't say i was a huge fan of Anne Rice, but i do know she was an incredible writer. what i was a fan of was how she talked about New Orleans. she always spoke of the magic and darkness of the town and how it was perfect for a writer. hell, i still believe i will live and probably die in that town at some point in my life. goodbye to a legend. thank you for the incredible ride. enjoy whatever comes next.

Manchester United won yesterday over Norwich, 1-0. i do love a clean sheet. that being said, man i would love if someone other than CR7 could be clinical in front of the goal these days.

i did watch a little of the Army vs. Navy game yesterday.

the MLS Cup was amazing yesterday. Portland forced extra time right at the death of regulation. NYCFC won the Cup in a penalty shootout.

The Real Charlie Chaplin was an amazing documentary last night. i do recommend it.

Saturday Night Live was great last night. Billie Eilish has certainly grown on me over the years. she is truly one of the more unique young humans around.

the New York Rangers play at home tonight against Nashville.

the Dayton Flyers play at home today against Virginia Tech. Dayton is a 2 point underdog today. i always do love a good home underdog. 

the New Orleans Saints play today at the New York Jets. part of the reason why i am going to the basketball game is so i don't say something to my mother about her Jets. of course, if the Saints lose this game, i will be apoplectic.

i should be on here tomorrow after i get back from taking mom to her physical therapy appointment.

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

 it started raining last night, seemingly right after i took a shower. it eventually stopped. but of course, it is raining again this morning. i managed to get the paper before it started to rain, thankfully.

Manchester United takes on Liverpool today. this is the one game that i will be brutally fucking pissed if United loses. now, those assholes over there are the better team and better coached. so, i'm hoping CR7 has something magical in store today and United pulls off one to remember.

the New York Rangers were losing 2-0 yesterday in Ottawa with 6 minutes to go in the 3rd period. the Rangers had never won a game in this scenario in the entire history of the franchise. well, scratch that off the fucking list. the Rangers scored 3 goals in a little over 3 minutes to defeat Ottawa yesterday, 3-2. they swept the road trip and are off to their best start in years. they play tomorrow night at home against Calgary.

Ohio State beat the shit out of Indiana last night, 54-7. and to be honest, after the first quarter, it wasn't even that close.

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night.

the season finale of Rhodes to the Top was good last night.

and just like that... it's gone...

 just as i was getting used to staying up late as fuck to watch some sport i only watch every 4 years, the Olympics are done and over with. i did stay up to watch the USA women's basketball team last night. and i watched most of the gold medal women's volleyball game between the USA and Brazil. needless to say, i went to bed around 3 this morning a very happy man. the USA finished with more medals than any other country as well as more gold medals than China.

the Yankees won yesterday over Seattle, 5-4. when they were losing the game 4-1, i certainly didn't see them coming back to win. hopefully, today they will get the sweep.

my cousins came over yesterday. one of them brought me an Aaron Judge bobblehead and a Yankees whiskey glass that she got while in New York last week. they were my gifts for helping their mother out over the last 5 years with the mail and trash. i certainly wasn't expecting that. we had a nice long talk about the Yankees and Mets and New York City in general.

my sister spent the night. i wasn't expecting that either.

ROH was excellent last night.

still going on just 3 hours of sleep...

 so, i think my body is almost used to just how fucking crazy my Sunday nights get between sports and all the shows i watch. throw in the Gold Cup final and the Olympics and you can imagine the power nap i took from 6 to 9 this morning and said i'm good to go.

first off, let's start with the Gold Cup. Mexico said this was going to be their revenge for the USA beating them in June in the Nations League final. the USMNT was young as hell last night. they were up against Mexico's "A" team. when Miles Robinson scored in the 117th minute to put the USA up 1-0, i was delirious. when the final whistle blew, i had tears flowing. this is the most proud i have been of this team in almost 20 years. and this gives me so much hope they can actually qualify for the World Cup and win it one time before i die. plus, anytime the USMNT can stick it to Mexico, i am fucking happy.

of course, the other side of the coin, the USWNT lost to Canada, 1-0 for the first time in 20 years. that means this will be the second straight Olympics they won't be playing for a gold medal.

the Yankees swept the Marlins yesterday, 3-1. Anthony Rizzo started the winning rally. he's been simply amazing since the trade. they start a series tonight at home against Baltimore.

i did watch some of the TBT games yesterday. the championship game tomorrow should be good.

Big Brother was good last night.

the season finale of The Chi was good last night.

the season finale of Black Monday was hilarious last night.

the season finale of Flatbush Misdemeanors was crazy last night.

Desus & Mero was fucking funny as hell last night.

The White Lotus was great last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

the USA women's basketball team defeated France last night, 93-82. hopefully, the men will beat Spain tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

NBA free agency starts tonight, so i'm expecting some crazy shit as usual.

i do plan on watching the USA men's basketball team tonight against Spain, which should be really good.

mom's scan she had done today didn't take very long. i did get 3 poems written. i typed those up when i got back home. hell, i think the time we were in the drive thru lane at Burger King for mom's frozen Coke took longer than how long her scan went.

i did listen to episode 354 of Notsam Wrestling this morning. you can listen to that by going here:
