Happy Memorial Day

 

i hope everyone has a great Memorial Day.

i actually nearly slept until noon today. of course, i didn't go to bed until after 6 AM. good times.

the Yankees won yesterday against the Padres, 10-7. they start a series tonight in Seattle.

i did watch some of the Indy 500 yesterday.

NXT Battleground was excellent last night.

the series finale of Succession last night was great.

the series finale of Barry was fucking amazing.

the two episodes that ended the season for Somebody Somewhere were excellent last night.

the season finale of Yellowjackets was crazy last night.

the season finale of Power Book II: Ghost was really good last night.

Ghosts of Beirut was very good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Monday Night Raw.

i will probably watch a good amount of the NBA (Game 7) and NHL playoffs tonight.

i did go to Big Lots yesterday and get some baseball and hockey cards. one the cards in the hockey packs is a rookie going for over $25, so that maybe very happy.

Manchester United won 2-1 yesterday at home against Fulham. they finished 3rd in the Premier League and face Manchester City June 3rd in the FA Cup final.

i did listen to episode 449 of Notsam Wrestling today. you can hear it by going here:

i did catch some of the NCAA Lacrosse national championship game today. Notre Dame defeated Duke, 13-9, to win their first national championship.

i should be on here in the morning tomorrow before my mother has physical therapy.

i hope everyone had a great weekend.

i guess i should go eat some lunch now.

until tomorrow kids...

 so, i got the other order of baseball cards i got from Small Business Saturday yesterday. these were from Repacked Wax in Akron, Ohio. i was thrilled with what i got. the highlight had to be the 1966 Topps Don Drysdale. i think the 4 best cards in the packs i got were worth more than what i paid for 10 packs. that is why i will always try to buy cards from Repacked Wax.

the Dayton Flyers won yesterday over Northern Illinois, 79-41. they will have their first true road game coming up on Wednesday at SMU. that should be a good measuring stick to see how good they really are now.

the New York Rangers won last night over Chicago, 3-2.

to be honest, i didn't watch much of the college football games yesterday. i got all my Christmas cards done instead.

Austin City Limits was excellent last night.

i got up this morning in time to watch Manchester United take on Crystal Palace. i wanted to see how the new coach was going to set up the team. he played the same group that played against Arsenal, but had them attacking more. i will say this, it was way more entertaining than the last few months. Fred of all people scored the only goal of the match. United won 1-0.

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Succession, Insecure, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Power Book II: Ghost, Hightown, VICE, Dexter: New Blood, Yellowjackets and Desus & Mero. i'll be watching NXT War Games on Peacock for most of the evening.

i think i am going to try to get some writing done this afternoon. i know i need to pound out some poems so i can send my end of the year submissions out.

i hope everyone had an excellent Saturday. i hope your Sunday will be even better.

i should be on here tomorrow after a trip to the post office.

until then kids...

i am definitely not a morning person...

 i was up at 5:30 this morning. neither mom or i are morning people, so when she has an appointment in the morning, i know i need to be up early to help her. i got her to her appointment nearly exactly on time. thankfully, the dentist didn't have to do as much as he thought, so i only had to get her when she was done. she's currently enjoying the effects of the drugs she got. she told me she felt weird before she went to sleep. i told her to embrace it. i'm going to get her to open her third eye sometime before she dies.

the Yankees lost again last night at Oakland, 3-1. they start a series tonight at the Angels. these are 3 games they need to win.

Big Brother was good last night.

Power Book III: Raising Kanan was excellent last night.

Heels was great last night.

so i had to get gas yesterday and decided i would go get a few other things as well. i found some stuff at Big Lots that Kroger doesn't carry anymore. of course, i went there hoping to find baseball cards. i had to go to Kroger to get gas and mom's pills, so i stopped by the Rite Aid up there. i bought two Fairfield boxes of baseball cards for $9. there was $65 worth of cards in them. i was fucking shocked. there was a rookie card in there that i was stunned to see. plus about 10 cards from hall of famers. that made me pretty damn happy. of course, the Yankees made sure that didn't last.

Manchester United defeated Wolves yesterday, 1-0. they were outplayed for the majority of the match. i would love to see them get some help in the midfield before the deadline is up tomorrow. but, with the victory they set the record for the longest unbeaten streak on the road in the history of English football. 28 games so far. 

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

until then kids...

Monday Night Raw last night was good, for the most part.

Beartown was excellent last night. i think i am going to love this show.

The Investigation was great last night.

late last night, i heard from my friend Janne Karlsson from Sweden. first time i had heard from him in over a year. i'm so happy he's not dead.

i actually got to bed at a somewhat decent hour last night (4 AM). that last book of cards had all football cards in it. i did find a few good ones that i pulled. so, i made a massive order from Amazon.com last night, hoping that it will give me enough supplies to get all these cards into sleeves and then i can start really trying to sell them.

we had a storm come through last night and knock our satellite out for a good chunk of the evening. i missed most of Monday Night Raw, but i did get to see the beginning and the end of it. i checked out what i missed online and i think the show was pretty good last night.

I May Destroy You was very good last night.

been a busy boy here in the last 15 hours or so...

before i get to everything else, a little poetry news to pass along... i heard back from the folks at Chantarelle's Notebook on my poetry submission from earlier this month. they decided to pass on the 5 poems i sent. so, last night, i decided to figure out where my next batch of poems would be going. i sent out 13 poems earlier today; 3 to Red Eft Review and 5 each to Horror Sleaze Trash and Heroin Love Songs v2.0. when i hear back from these places i will pass along the verdicts.

the Dayton Flyers started off a little sluggish yesterday against Duquesne. for only the second time this season, they trailed at halftime. apparently, Coach Grant reamed their asses at halftime and the boys responded. Dayton won 80-70. and given that 3 of the top 4 teams lost yesterday, Dayton could be moving up to the top 4 teams in the country. what a time to be fucking alive. Obi Toppin scored 28 points in the game, which put him over 1,000 points in his career. he achieved that in just 60 games. Dayton plays on Tuesday night at George Mason.

the New York Rangers won last night over San Jose, 3-2. Igor Shesterkin made 44 saves for his 7th win in a row. not bad to win 9 of your first 10 starts in the NHL. suddenly, the Rangers are 4 points out of a playoff spot now, with 2 games in hand. the trade deadline is tomorrow. i have no damn clue if the Rangers are going to sell or buy.

here are your XFL highlights from yesterday:

ROH was pretty good last night.

i got almost 5 hours of sleep last night. almost. i did get my laundry done last night as well.

Manchester United defeated Watford today, 3-0. Bruno, Martial and Greenwood got the goals. United are now three points out of 4th place in the league with 11 games to go.

i'll probably flip between sports today and try to get some more rest.

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

i should be on here in the afternoon tomorrow.

so long to the easy rider

i found out after i got the blog done yesterday about the death of Peter Fonda. i'm happy that Jane said he went out laughing. we all deserve that i suppose. rest in peace.

my mother's stubbornness got the better of her once again last night. she was getting food out from the oven and of course, instead of asking me to help her, she spilled some of the contents onto the bottom of our new oven. i just looked at her and said i wonder if you'll actually learn to ask for help before you die? i believe we both know that answer is no.

the New York Yankees won last night against Cleveland, 3-2. they played a much better game than the night before. hopefully that continues this afternoon.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

A Black Lady Sketch Show was fucking hilarious last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was excellent last night.

mom wanted breakfast from McDonald's this morning. she was hoping it would make her shit. so far, it's been a success.

if i have some time this afternoon, i think i'll try to get my ass in gear and get some poems out. i have a few places in mind.

i'll be on here in the morning tomorrow.

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

apparently, i used all my sleep up in a different life...

i got to bed at a decent hour last night. of course, it was raining just hard enough that i woke up every 35 minutes or so. joy. around 6:30, i decided to fuck it and just get up. i knew my sister was leaving early, so i figured i would see her off. she was going down south for a charity walk with her friends. i made some coffee, had breakfast, checked emails and wanted to write this blog then. my back was killing me, so i decided to go ice my back down in the massage chair. i finally got almost 80 minutes of painless sleep there. as i told my sister last night, the pain is getting to the point where i'm going to have to start using weed or heroin or something to ease it. good times.

the New York Yankees won again last night over Houston, 4-1. that's 7 wins in a row. hopefully, they can keep it going tonight.

i did watch a good portion of the first round of the NHL Draft last night. the New York Rangers got exactly who i was hoping for. i'll pay attention a little bit to the rest of the draft today, mostly because i think the Rangers might be trading a few players to get a little more salary cap space for a certain Russian winger that played in Columbus last season.

Vice News Tonight had another great week of shows.

NJPW was really good last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was pretty funny last night.

Los Espookys was fucking hilarious last night.

i did watch a little of the Gold Cup last night. here are your scores:
El Salvador vs. Jamaica finished 0-0 and Curacao upset Honduras last night, 1-0.

tonight, Guyana takes on Panama and the USA will be looking for some fucking revenge against Trinidad & Tobago. i will be watching that tonight.

as for the Women's World Cup, Germany is currently leading Nigeria 2-0 at halftime. i do plan on watching some of Norway vs. Australia later this afternoon.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be ROH.

i will hopefully have a couple victory drinks tonight and hoping that will ease the pain from the storms we're supposed to have at some point this evening.

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

i will hopefully be on here tomorrow before Old Timer's Day at Yankee Stadium.

oh yeah, for those that are wondering, of course we didn't use the new oven last night. my mother sent my sister to go get some BBQ from Old Hickory in town.

until tomorrow kids...

total darkness

the guy came this morning to install the new blinds. he had them completely installed in under a hour. they are so much better than the other blinds we had. plus, the ones he put in mom's room gives her total darkness. i'm hoping that will help her sleep better.

i didn't get to bed until around 4 this morning. i thought i was being responsible and didn't try to watch everything last night. so i came into my bedroom around 2 in the morning and thought, i should really check my email before i go to bed. 200 emails later and it was 4 in the morning. oh joy.

let's start with the Manchester United game yesterday. when CR7 scored for Juventus with an incredible goal, i kind of just shook my head and figured that was that. thankfully, Mourinho pulled a master class yesterday with his substitutions. when Juan Mata scored on a beautiful free kick to tie the game, i was happy. when a free kick late got put into the net by Juventus to give United the lead, i was fucking ecstatic. both goals came in the last 5 minutes or so of the game. that's exactly the kind of win they needed going into the Manchester derby this weekend. plus, it puts them even closer to making sure they move on in the Champions League.

right after that ended, mom and i went to the Dayton Flyers game. the one thing i am going to hate about our new seats is i am closer to the bench, so i can see the coach of Dayton, Anthony Grant. and that also means, i can see how incompetent he actually is at the job. Dayton was down their senior captain last night, due to injury. so, this genius decides to further fuck the team by not using all of the available players for the game against North Florida. he only played 7 guys. and of course, as what happens when stupid is running the show, 2 of Dayton's players got cramps in the game. honestly, this shit will drive me fucking insane this season. Dayton has the talent to overcome shitty coaching, but that shitty coach just won't let them. Dayton won last night, 78-70. they play again this weekend.

we went to Waffle House after the game. we were the only ones in there this time.

the season finale of Lucha Underground last night was spectacular. the main event was probably the bloodiest match i have seen in years. man, i hope to god there is a season 5.

American Horror Story was really good last night. i hope the season finale next week is even better.

Total Divas was pretty funny last night.

i watched NXT, 2 episodes of NXT UK and 205 Live this morning. all of them were really good, especially NXT.

holy fuck, i just made the mistake of seeing the weather forecast for the next few days. the chance for fucking snow. fuck me. of course it might snow tomorrow, i have to go to the grocery store.

when i watched the weather forecast last night, i was happy i was drinking. this week looks like it is going to be fucking crazy. a chance of rain or snow everyday and the temperatures will range from the 30's to fucking 70 degrees. as i told my mother, time for everyone to get sick again i suppose.

i really enjoyed the NBA All-Star Saturday night shit last night.

the Dayton Flyers did their best to give away the game late last night to Fordham. thankfully, Fordham sucks enough that they didn't want to win. Dayton won 80-70. they play again on Tuesday at home. it's a late start and given that mom has rehab that day, there's a pretty decent chance i won't be going.

the New York Rangers lost yesterday at Ottawa 6-3. good to see they are sticking to the plan. they play today at home against Philadelphia.

Manchester United won yesterday 2-0. they have advanced to the quarterfinals of the FA Cup. next up will be a match in the Champions League.

the end of 2017 (hopefully)

well, we've come to the end of another year. much like i expected, the chaos in the country and government have been a boon to my writing. this has easily been my most productive year as a writer. i'm hoping to have some concrete plans in place sometime in 2018 for a new book, some new videos on YouTube, some new recordings on Soundcloud, and if i happen to get a wild hair up my ass, i'm thinking of doing an album of spoken word recordings and releasing that on Bandcamp. now, let's see if my lazy ass does any of that shit in the next year or not.

the Dayton Flyers lost yesterday at Duquesne 70-62. for some damn reason, this team can't finish a half strong, be it the first or second half. Dayton had the lead early and then blew that by halftime. Dayton had the lead in the second half and then only scored 1 more point for the rest of the game. it could just be how young they are or it could be a coach that simply doesn't know what the fuck he is doing right now. and i love all the Anthony Grant apologists that are coming to his defense with the old wait until he gets all of his players in here excuse. if they still suck in 3 years, i hope they all understand just how much they were wrong.

Manchester United played a listless 0-0 draw yesterday against Southampton. Lukaku got stretchered off in the first half and he will miss at least the next 2 games. Zlatan is out for a month, so i guess that means any goal scoring is going to have to come from Rashford or Martial. i would put down Pogba but they have him playing so far from the goal that i refuse to be delusional about him scoring again this season. sadly, this season has now turned into a struggle to stay in the top 4. great.

team USA plays Finland today at the World Juniors. a victory will give them second place in the group. anything else and they will have a tougher game in the quarterfinals.

i believe it was somewhere around -7 when i went out to get the paper this morning. i won't be going outside again today.

i'm not sure what the hell i'll be doing at midnight tonight. if it's like most of my adult years, i'll have a beverage in one hand and plenty of poetic thoughts in my head. the sad thing, the only kiss i have ever had at midnight of a new year was from a guy. not that there's anything wrong with that, but watching that shit after the ball drops is probably why most of my poems that start off a new year are bitter as fuck.

as always, i hope everyone has a great New Year's Eve. drive safely, party hard and live with no regrets.

by the end of last night, i was too fucking wired to fall asleep. maybe around 4 in the morning, i finally ran out of gas. but i did manage to save a victory drink over to today, just in case you know.

first off, a little poetry news. i heard back from Nerve Cowboy on my poetry submission from back in July. they decided to pass on the poems. well, that gives me 5 more for the poems to go out this week sometime.

Manchester United won yesterday at Arsenal 3-1. other than the Paul Pogba red card, which means he will miss the Manchester derby coming up, the game was beautiful to watch. David De Gea once again proved why he is the best goalkeeper in the world.

after the game, mom and i went to the grocery store. of course, they didn't have the ointment she wanted. and then she pulled out a secret scroll that she had been working on for things to get. so our little trip turned into 90 minutes of walking around the store. oh fucking joy.

congrats to Trotwood for winning the Division III championship last night. i listened to most of the game on the radio while watching the Ohio Sate game. i know why i'm fucking crazy now. this was the second title for Trotwood in their history. another 15-0 season. i'm so happy for them after the heartbreaker last season. Trotwood won 27-19.

Ohio State defeated Wisconsin last night 27-21. honestly, turnovers were the only thing that kept Wisconsin in the game. i have no damn clue if Ohio State will make the final 4 or not. i'll find out here in about 20 minutes. personally, i think i would put Alabama in over Ohio State. i just can't erase that Iowa loss from my mind. but, congrats to the Buckeyes on another Big 10 Championship.

on the DVR tonight will be Shameless, SMILF and the season finale of Curb Your Enthusiasm.

the New Orleans Saints have a huge game today at home against Carolina. if they could win today, they would sweep the 2 games against Carolina this season. that would go a long way to winning the division.

the Dayton Flyers play tonight on the road at Mississippi State. i hope they can get a road victory tonight, but the emphasis is on hope. i will be watching it tonight on the SEC Network.

i just saw that Ohio State finished 5th and won't be in the final 4 this year. no team from the Big 10 made it this season. don't be shocked if the playoffs get expanded soon. money does talk in college sports.

since the Saints don't play until after 4 PM, i will probably spend a few hours today getting the poems ready for submission later this week. since i'm planning on it to be my last one of the year, it will most likely be a big one.

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

dispara para las estrellas, pero es mejor que aprendas a nadar

be well. be creative. be cool. be quick to send me CASH, panties, hate mail, love letters, broken promises and dirty pennies from heaven.

peace and chicken grease...
