you have no clue how happy this made me...

we are now into this summer pattern of it getting warm every morning and then the afternoon is nothing but storms. joy.

this morning i was putting away the trash can next door when the neighbor to that house came out and talked to me. he asked me if i liked all these birds? i have like 4 bird feeders in the front yard. i told him it's mostly for my mother. he asked if she likes watching them. i said yes. he looks at me and says with a rather loud voice those birds nest in that tree over there and shit all over any of the cars i leave out in the driveway. inside my head, i was fucking laughing. out of my mouth came, oh yeah? i didn't bother to apologize or ask if he wanted me to do something about it. i simply walked away. when i told mom about it, i said i might get some bird food with some berries in it next time, make it a little more colorful for him. mind you, this old guy is a Republican and acts like he runs the cul-de-sac. that might be the best joy i have this week.

the rain today has started a pain in my neck that runs all the way down my spine. i really could use some high grade shit right now.

the New York Yankees lost last night to the Mets, 4-2. their home run streak ended at 31 games. oh well. hopefully they get back to winning tonight.

i turned on the Gold Cup last night right at the start of extra time. i felt bad for Haiti, as the penalty was a little harsh (still the right call though) and they hit the crossbar with like 2 minutes left in the game. Mexico won 1-0. they will advance to the finals to play the winner of Jamaica vs. USA tonight.

i really hope the USA plays better tonight or i don't think they will get past Jamaica.

the Netherlands defeated Sweden today 1-0 at the Women's World Cup. that game went to extra time as well. so the final on Sunday will be the Netherlands vs. USA. the third place game on Saturday will be Sweden vs. England.

Smackdown was pretty good last night but nowhere close to as good as Raw was. 205 Live was really good last night.

Songland was pretty good last night.

Deadliest Catch was excellent last night. the whole episode was about all the theories about what cause the Destination to sink two years ago.

Big Brother was pretty good last night. i expect some crazy shit tonight at the eviction.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight, Big Brother and two episodes of The Wrestlers. i'll watch NXT sometime tonight on WWE Network.

i watched NXT UK this afternoon. it was excellent.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i know most of the day tomorrow i will be doing my laundry. i'll probably try to get a blog done in the morning or early afternoon maybe.

hope the weather is better wherever you are.

and if you are traveling for the Fourth of July, be safe.

until tomorrow kids...

like a punch to the gut

when the USA got down 2-0 to Finland last night, i was disappointed, but not overly worried. 3 minutes later when the USA had tied the game at 2, i thought for sure they were going to win. sadly, Finland scored with 1:30 left in the game. that was like a punch to the gut. as soon as Finland won the gold, i just changed the channel. i figured that was better than wallowing in misery. on the bright side, if there is one, that's 4 straight years for the USA to get a medal at the World Juniors. the only problem being silver is not a medal you win.

i did watch a good portion of each playoff game last night. neither result really surprised me. the Colts defeated the Texans and the Cowboys beat the Seahawks. the Cowboys will play the Saints if Chicago beats the Eagles today. the Colts will play the Chiefs next week. that means the game today between the Chargers and Ravens will be to see who goes to play New England.

ROH was pretty good last night.

Austin City Limits had Trombone Shorty on last night. it was excellent.

mom wanted pizza last night, for some reason. she decided to order a thin crust pizza from Pizza Hut. i picked it up, along with her chicken wings and breadsticks. the pizza was awful. of course, i lied and said it was fine. later on in the night, i think even mom realized she should have got something else. joy.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Ray Donovan. i figure i'll watch the Golden Globes for most of the evening.

the Dayton Flyers play at home today against Richmond. i'm hoping the boys get their A10 season off on the right foot.

the New York Rangers play this afternoon at the Arizona Coyotes. i should be back home by the time that game starts.

i know i have a trip to the eye doctor tomorrow. i will probably be on here after that is over.

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

and here comes the rain to ruin another day...

i'm the only asshole i know that can get 11 poems published in a day and complain about it. the rain that is coming down is truly fucking with me at the moment. these are the days i need that young kid Bukowski talked about to do this shit.

a little World  Cup update:
i watched most of Denmark and Australia this morning. it ended in a 1-1 draw. right now France is leading Peru 1-0 in the 82nd minute. Argentina and Croatia play later today.

the New York Yankees were down 5-0 to Seattle last night and i was not happy. but, the sign of a great team is their ability to never quit. and that is exactly what the Yankees did last night. they chipped away and eventually Gary Sanchez tied the game at 5 in the 8th with a huge two run homer. in the bottom of the 9th, Giancarlo Stanton had his first signature Yankee moment. the Yankees won 7-5. they will go for the sweep this afternoon.

Lucha Underground was really good last night.

NXT was pretty good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Lip Sync Battle.

i will probably spend most of tonight watching the NBA Draft. there is the outside chance someone from Dayton might get taken in the second round. Dayton hasn't had anyone selected in the draft in 28 years.

at some point today, i will listen to the latest Sam Roberts Wrestling Podcast. you can find that by going here: https://soundcloud.com/srwrestling/srw-191-jeff-jarrett-pt-2

my friend Debbie Kirk is getting much closer to having surgery, chemo, etc. she really could use anything you can possibly give to support her. below is the link to go to. please spread it around.

if my pain allows, at some point today i need to go to the drugstore and probably our local grocery store as well. and there really isn't anything better than seeing me in public when i am hurting. it's like a pissed off dog roaming the aisles begging for someone to make the mistake.

thanks to everyone for the compliments regarding the poems today. i really do appreciate them more than i will probably ever let on.

i have no clue when i'll be on here tomorrow. i know i need to go grocery shopping at the big store tomorrow, but that won't happen until my pills are ready. hopefully this oppressive heat will finally be gone.

that's all for me kids.

now it really feels like winter

when you see school closings the night before, you know it's officially winter. i believe it was somewhere around -10 this morning. i imagine with the windchill it was even worse. i haven't even bothered to think about going outside yet. mom has even told me to not bother to do the trash next door or worry about getting ours out. so, i figure once i get this blog done, i'll throw on a few layers and hope to fucking god the mail has already been delivered.

the New York Rangers won the Winter Classic yesterday over Buffalo, 3-2 in OT. the Rangers are 4-0 since they have started these outdoor games. i was worried yesterday as the Rangers had to score the winning goal on the side of the ice that no one had been able to score on. thankfully, J.T. Miller got it done on the power play in overtime. the Rangers play again tomorrow at home against Chicago.

Manchester United finally got a win yesterday. they defeated Everton 2-0. Martial and Lingard scored two beautiful goals in the victory. hopefully that starts a positive run for the team.

i did watch a little of the college football games last night. as i figured, the national championship game is going to be Georgia vs. Alabama. Alabama's coach has never lost to any of his former assistants. and of course, Georgia is coached by one of his former assistants.

Monday Night Raw was pretty good last night. i really enjoyed Roman Reigns vs. Samoa Joe again last night. and having The Club (Balor, Anderson, Gallows) back together certainly made me smile.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Vice News Tonight and Smackdown. i'll watch 205 Live sometime tonight on WWE Network.

team USA plays Russia tonight in the quarterfinals at the World Juniors. it would be nice to see the USA advance. that's the only way they are going to have a chance to win another medal. these are all MUST win games now.

i will be on here tomorrow after my doctor's appointment. i'm not quite sure what to expect as i haven't had a new doctor in about 15 years.

and hopefully the snow they are saying we will get tomorrow won't be too bad. mom's appointment with the doctor is before mine. she hates being out in bad conditions. i don't mind, as i remember how to turn into the skid.

until tomorrow my friends.
