testing my patience...

 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...

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.

the demon has gone quiet, for now...

 so, i'm not sure what i did or if i did anything to stop the fan from running on my computer, but around midnight last night it finally stopped. i was actually able to get some half decent sleep for a few hours.

the Yankees lost last night to Boston, 8-3. this weekend should be the nail in the Yankees coffin.

Smackdown and NXT Level Up were both really good last night.

AEW Rampage was good last night.

always love waking up with a bad back...

 so, right as i woke up, i knew my day was fucked. my back was screaming bloody fucking murder with every step to the bathroom. joy. the only reason i honestly have made it 46 years into this life is learning how to find the pleasure in the pain. i honestly know as soon as i lose that ability, i am fucked. so, i did get to ice my back down for hours later in the morning into the afternoon. after that, i had to take a prescription to Kroger for my mother and then get some things that weren't put on the grocery list. of course, Kroger didn't have the first item i was looking for, so i went to Meijer instead. i'll have to go back to Kroger this weekend to get my mother's prescription. her appointment yesterday with the foot doctor went well. now, i just need to figure out a good time to take her to get a haircut.

the Yankees had their asses handed to them last night by Toronto, losing 9-2. hopefully, they will find a way to win tonight.

Big Brother was good last night. Indy got evicted. she is the first member of the jury. Michael and Terrance are the new HOHs.

NJPW was excellent last night.

NXT UK was very good yesterday. it will be coming to an end soon as the WWE revealed the plans yesterday of creating NXT Europe in 2023.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Smackdown, AEW Rampage and Real Time with Bill Maher. i'll watch NXT Level Up sometime tonight on Peacock.

the New Orleans Saints play at the Packers tonight. as always, i hope the Saints win but i also hope no one gets injured.

i will probably be on here in the morning tomorrow as the Yankees play in the afternoon.

i never thought i would see the day Casemiro would leave Real Madrid. and i certainly never thought he's be coming to Manchester United. HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i hope everyone has a great weekend. i need to go figure out what is for dinner tonight.

until tomorrow kids...

fight the power.

fuck racism.

fuck hatred.

fuck war.

fuck the police.

one way to wake up later in the morning...

 i wanted to wake up after 8:30 this morning. i knew the easiest way for me to accomplish this was to not go to sleep until 4 in the morning. sure enough, that is exactly what happened. it has felt like it was going to rain all day today. so far, nothing. joy.

the Yankees finished off the sweep of the Red Sox last night, winning 5-2. now, the Yankees truly control their own destiny. they start a series tonight at home against the Twins.

AEW was great last night.

Big Brother was good last night. i'm pretty sure Britt will be going to the jury house tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother, Holey Moley, When Nature Calls and Desus & Mero. i watched NXT UK earlier this afternoon on Peacock. it was really good.

i should be on here tomorrow after i hopefully get a fucking haircut. i can't stand when my bangs get into my eyes. that drives me nuts and as my mother would always say, that's a short fucking trip.

so, i got a letter today from my doctor's office. the doctor i was supposed to see next month is moving to Piqua, which is about a hour away from us. so i had to cancel my appointment and call up there to get a new one. thankfully, it will be on the same day, just a little later in the afternoon. now, i have no clue which woman i will be seeing, but i'm sure it will make for some interesting poems.

that's all for me kids...

until tomorrow...

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.

and here i thought i was doing the right thing...

i got to bed last night before 2:30 AM. i thought i was doing the right thing. but, when i first saw the clock at 3:10, and then again at 4, 5... when 6:30 rolled around, i said fuck it. so yeah, i've been up since 6:30 this morning. i realize now my life has broken down into 6 four hour segments each day. 2 of those segments should be for rest. but, they never are. i'm trying to squeeze everything i can, cramming 20 segments into 6 each day. as i tell everyone when they are betting on when i die, take the under.

i got nearly everything on the grocery list. one of the meds mom takes wasn't at the store. i was going to go out again today to get it, but she said she still has some for a couple of days. so, i will go out on Friday for that. i do love getting the groceries for less than $60 and getting gas at less than $1 a gallon. good times.

the Yankees lost last night to Tampa, 6-3. that ends the Yankees home winning streak. hopefully, they can get back to winning tonight.

Deadliest Catch was really good last night.

Hard Knocks was excellent last night.

here are your highlights from the NBA last night:

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, NXT, Big Brother and Cari & Jemele Stick To Sports.

i will probably watch some of the NHL and NBA tonight. i missed most of the games this afternoon while i was grocery shopping.

i should be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the foot doctor.

i'm not sure if she will want to go out to eat tomorrow or not. i'm hoping she doesn't as i began working on getting my cards better assembled today. i'm trying to get all my football cards together, hockey, basketball, etc. once i get that done, then comes the fun part of trying to get the fucking baseball cards in order. it's going to be an endless nightmare, that hopefully someone will end when they start buying them (HINT HINT)...

until tomorrow kids...

fuck the police.

oh how i love not sleeping...

after i sent out the poems last night, i was really looking forward to getting a little sleep. i couldn't find a comfortable spot for my arm for anything. so, after tossing and turning for 2 hours, i ended up trying to sleep in my massage chair. let's just say i got a couple naps during the morning.

i did go to the bank after the second nap. i love getting stuck behind people who are just now looking at the damage from the Memorial Day tornadoes. joy.

after i get this done, i'll be doing my laundry and hoping Manchester United plays great today. i'm really hoping they win today at Wolves.

the New York Yankees lost to Cleveland yesterday, 8-4. the Yankees are off tonight and start a series out in Oakland tomorrow night.

the New Orleans Saints played like shit in the first half yesterday. thankfully, Taysom Hill saved the day in the second half and the Saints defeated the Chargers, 19-17.

Big Brother went as i expected last night.

the season finale of City on a Hill was excellent. i can't wait for season 2.

Succession was really good last night.

The Righteous Gemstones was fucking ridiculous last night.

Last Week Tonight was brilliant as usual.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

nothing on the DVR tonight. i'll be watching Monday Night Raw for most of the evening.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i'm hoping whenever i am, i will have my damn laundry done.

i'm off to go watch United and get my laundry started and figure out what i'm having for lunch today.

one of those Sundays where you'd love to sleep in...

i think i might have finally fell asleep last night around 4 in the morning. i was up a little after 8. i have no clue how i'm going to do today on roughly 4 hours of sleep. my best guess is not well.

mom wasn't feeling good at all yesterday. her blood pressure was low and she just casually mentioned that low blood pressure is a sign of a stroke. needless to say, i've been fucking paranoid since. she hasn't shown any other signs, but i am watching her like a fucking hawk.

the New York Yankees won yesterday against Toronto 11-6. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

ROH was excellent last night.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: If I Leave Here Tomorrow was much better than i thought it was going to be last night.

NXT Takeover: Brooklyn 4 was spectacular last night. every match was either really good or fucking great. and as usual, the show was better than what the main roster will probably do tonight.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother, Sharp Objects, Ballers, Insecure, Last Week Tonight, the season finale of The Affair, Who is America? and Our Cartoon President.

i will be watching WWE SummerSlam for most of the evening on WWE Network.

Manchester United plays in a few minutes at Brighton. hopefully they will get another victory.

i will probably be on here tomorrow after i send out some poems.

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

a good way to start the morning...

before i go on and on about another Manchester United victory...

i got a line stuck in my head while i was driving back from the drugstore this morning. i have no damn idea where it came from but i'm going to have to write it out sometime tonight because it is still at the top of my brain 4 hours later.

Manchester United defeated Swansea this morning 4-0. i certainly could get used to them scoring 3 goals every second half. i think even more important is back to back clean sheets. i'm desperately hoping that this is what this team is going to be all season. very strong defensively and then fucking lethal in the counter attack. that will win trophies.

the drugstore trip went pretty good. i was able to find everything and do it pretty quickly. i almost bought some more stupid shit for the yard. they had stuff marked 75% off. but i resisted.

i did feed the birds this morning. this weekend is supposed to be dry, so i figured i'd give them some food. looks like i'm going to have to get more suet soon.

the New York Yankees came from behind last night to take a 6-3 lead. no sooner than they scored those runs, Boston came right back in the bottom half of the inning and took the lead right back. fuck me runnin'. the Yankees lost 9-6. they will have to get their shit together quickly if they want to win this series. they face Boston's best pitcher tonight. joy.

VICE was excellent last night. good to see they are making progress with the gorillas in the Congo.

NJPW was great last night. the match between Naito and Ibushi was amazing.

Treehouse Masters was pretty cool last night. i would kill to have a property with that much forest on it.

Room 104 was really fucking weird last night. i enjoyed the shit out of it, especially since it ended with one of my favorite Guided by Voices songs.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i'll be watching NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III tonight on WWE Network. it should be an amazing show (fingers crossed).

it's just about time for my damn nap.

i got the dishes done this morning so basically the rest of my day can be a shower, a little writing and then an evening of pro wrestling.

i will be on here tomorrow in the morning, hopefully before the Yankees play.

i hope everyone has a great Saturday. call if you happen to need bail money.

finally, the weekend

being out in the sun yesterday felt good, but it certainly drained me. i believe i fell asleep around 10 or so last night. of course, that only lasted 30 minutes. i could just feel all the energy drained right out of my body. i suppose that would have been a good time to drink myself to sleep. oh well.

i did type up the 2 poems i wrote yesterday. they are really good. i figure i'll probably have another round of submissions going out before the month ends.

Big Brother went as i expected last night. i can't wait to see the joy on the faces in the jury house when Paulie walks in. of course, the twist announced at the end of the show probably means he won't be there for long. i believe Natalie is the new HOH. i'm pretty sure that is whom the producers want to win.

Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll was hilarious as always last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and NJPW.

the USA men's basketball team takes on Spain this afternoon. hopefully they play their best game of the tournament today and win. the winner advances to the gold medal game.

Manchester United takes on Southampton today. hopefully the home opener goes as well as last week's win did. i'm really looking forward to seeing Paul Pogba play again.

tonight, the New York Yankees play the Angels out in California. i'm interested to see how the rookies do in their first true road games.

i imagine at some point i'll be making a trip to the grocery store today. i know both mom and i have prescriptions that are ready to be picked up.

i'll probably be on here tomorrow after i take mom to the chiropractor. hopefully she starts to feel a little bit better.

i hope everyone has a great weekend. take it easy and then take it again.

of course there's going to be a big storm on trash day

i didn't sleep well last night and when i finally got out of bed and checked the news, i figured out why. i have been begging Manchester United to get a player like Pedro from Barcelona, who i really think is the missing piece from the team winning titles again. and i have heard for weeks that the deal was going to happen. so imagine my disgust when i see this morning that he's going to sign with Chelsea. i'm not blaming Chelsea on this, as usual, i'm blaming the Manchester United brass for dragging their fucking feet. now the word is they are most likely not going to bring in anyone else before the transfer window closes. unless they have suddenly decided they are going to give the kids a true chance to play all the time, this makes no fucking sense. i really hope Memphis is the second coming of Cristiano and Beckham rolled into one, for that is what is most likely going to take. talk about thinking you had a lovely evening with a stripper and then you wake up to find your wallet missing and shit in your mouth. enjoy that visual.

i'm a bit cranky as there is this nice big cold front getting read to hit the area and for some reason, the trash hasn't been picked up yet. all i can picture is me chasing down trash cans and recyclables in a fucking storm. good times.

enjoy some music kids:

the shows last night were pretty good. WWE Tough Enough went pretty much how i figured it would. Tanner was sent packing as once again, somehow, ZZ survived another cut. i get the feeling that people are voting for him because they hate the show and they want to see Vince fork over $250,000 to someone that doesn't deserve it. next week is the finale. i hope that Amanda and Josh win as i think both of them have a shot at "making it" in the business.

Total Divas was mindless, as usual. Hard Knocks was pretty good. the season finale of Deadliest Catch was excellent. but the show that really got me last night was Tyrant. the opening scene blew my fucking mind. now, going the coup route once again was a little disappointing to me after they went the same way in season 1, but i'll withhold my judgment until the season is over.

anyone need a laugh?:

the New York Yankees were doing good last night and then CC ran out of gas. trailing 4-1, thankfully the team didn't wait around for some heroics. A-Rod crushed his 25th career grand slam to give the Yankees back the lead. they then scored some tack on runs late to win 8-4. they go for the sweep this afternoon.

on the DVR tonight will be Big Brother and ROH. i am interested to see what happens on NXT tonight on the WWE Network.

that's all for me today. hopefully the rain doesn't last forever today as i would like to take a shower and maybe get some laundry done. i won't do either when there is the chance for thunder and lightning. mostly because i know i will be too busy watching the storm instead of doing whatever else. that's why i really wanted mom to get a house with a great front porch. oh well.

hope everyone has plenty of ice and an endless amount of (insert your drink of choice here) to get you through the day.

life was much easier when i was young

i've been running on empty for most of today. 4 basketball games in 2 days can do that to you. of course, i have 4 games to go to tomorrow. i think my Saturday may be either a coma or one powered by alcohol.

did manage to sell off some music today. got $15. that's the most cash i've had on me in 3 months. certainly enough to cover the poems i need to mail out. i'm hoping to get that all done before having to get down to UD Arena for the afternoon session of basketball. which means plenty of the little shit to do tonight. cover letters, bios, etc. etc. i guess i can get that done between basketball, hockey and the dishes this evening.

as for the 2 games last night. neither were that close. both had much better flows than Tuesday's games. made the evening go much quicker. actually got out of the arena before midnight. not sure if that's going to happen or not on Friday.

another must win for the New York Rangers tonight. with the way Florida is playing right now, hopefully the boys put the foot on the neck early.

my brackets are ok of right now. (fingers crossed)

my order from Amazon.com arrived early. so, you'll be seeing a few new music (at least new for me) selections popping up.

had a very nice lunch with my mother today while watching some tourney games. helps that i was drinking. and not having to pay.

i'm interested to see how i survive tomorrow. i'll be sitting in a section of the arena that i haven't sat in in over a decade. should be interesting. i'm really hoping the games are good enough to trick my mind into not giving a shit that i'm around nearly 13,000 strangers and i really don't like people for the most part.

at the very least, i'm hoping for a few poems to pop up out of nowhere.

hope this finds everyone well. until i grace you with my presence again.
