tax day...

 i actually got more than 4 hours of sleep last night. i'm guessing i must have found a slot where my pinched nerve didn't bother me. or, the rye whiskey did the trick. 

the New York Rangers won last night at Florida, 5-3. it was the first time all season they had a multi-goal comeback. sure, do it after you are eliminated from playoff contention.

the New York Yankees won last night at home against the Royals, 4-1. 

The Voice was excellent last night.

Monday Night Raw was great last night. WrestleMania is this weekend.

on the DVR tonight will be NXT and Dark Side of the Ring.

 i know i mentioned something the other day about wanting to redo my room. well, the problem is i actually measured, and what i wanted to do isn't going to work. so, back to the drawing board. yesterday was pretty crazy. i did get a poem written late last night. i was pretty happy about that.

the Yankees won yesterday at home against the Red Sox, 14-4. Ben Rice became the first Yankees rookie to hit 3 HR in the same game. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

the Euro 2024 matches yesterday were crazy. England defeated Switzerland on penalty kicks, 5-3. Netherlands defeated Turkey, 2-1. so, in the semifinals, Spain will play France and England takes on Netherlands.

at the Copa America yesterday, Colombia crushed Panama, 5-0. Uruguay beat Brazil 4-2 on penalty kicks. so, in the semifinals, Canada plays Argentina and Colombia takes on Uruguay.

 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.

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.

April showers bring... apparently May showers...

 so, at 5:45 this morning, a thunderstorm woke me up. it felt like i was a voodoo doll for mother nature. my left leg was throbbing, my right shoulder was throbbing, as was my head. i knew damn well i wasn't going to be able to fall back asleep. fuck.

the New York Yankees won again last night, beating the Royals 3-0. that is 8 wins in a row now. hopefully, they will make it 9 this afternoon.

i was pleased with the two guys the New Orleans Saints drafted yesterday. overall, i think the Saints filled some holes with guys they actually wanted.

i did watch a ton of soccer yesterday as well as boxing last night.

i need to return some things for mom, so i have to go to the UPS Store in a little bit. after i get that done, i think i'm going to swing by Big Lots and see if they have any basketball or baseball cards. i have a $5 off coupon to use.

i do plan on watching some soccer this afternoon. i really want to see what the new stadium in Nashville looks like. i'll probably watch some of the NBA playoffs today as well.

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

a big thank you to everyone for checking out my latest published poems:

i just love having a bad back...

 so, my mother last night asked me to do the dishes. i wish she would have asked me sooner, as there was a couple days worth of dishes to do. but, i did them, knowing damn well, no good deed ever goes unpunished. my back has been killing me for the last 16 hours or so. i have stretched, iced, slept in the massage chair, etc. it still feels like shit. so yeah, i won't be going to the basketball game tonight. joy.

mom's doctor's appointment went well yesterday. the doctor believes mom needs a life alert system now. so, that will be fun to figure out the best one of those to have. the appointment was long as hell, so i missed all of the Manchester United game yesterday.

Manchester United defeated Aston Villa, 1-0, to advance in the FA Cup. 

the New York Rangers lost last night to the Kings, 3-1. it was a rather listless performance for the most part.

i did watch some of the national championship game last night. congrats to Georgia for winning their first title since 1980.

both episodes of Kenan were pretty funny last night.

That's My Jam was hilarious last night.

i had to call the dealership today to get an appointment for an oil change for the Highlander. i about shit when they told the earliest appointment they had was January 26th. 

i haven't heard back from anyone on my insurance fuck up yet. i'd really love to get this solved and not spend a whole fucking day on the phone doing it.

i need to pick up the trash and figure out what is for dinner.

running on 3 hours of sleep...

 maybe this is becoming my new normal for Mondays. going to bed sometime around the sun coming up and being up less than 3 hours later to put the coffee on. and then another power nap in the late morning and boom, tackle the rest of the day. i did go grocery shopping today. i found everything, between two different stores, that i needed to get for Thanksgiving. my sister will be down here tomorrow night. we should have plenty if she brings everything she said she was going to.

so, yesterday was a bit crazy. first off, let me start with the bad news. the New Orleans Saints lost to the Eagles yesterday, 40-29. honestly, it never even felt that close. the Saints play at home on Thanksgiving night against Buffalo. oh joy.

now, some better news. the New York Rangers defeated the Buffalo Sabres last night, 5-4. the wining goal was scored with less than 1 second left in the game. good times.

WWE Survivor Series was pretty good last night. 

the season finale of BMF was good last night.

Power Book II: Ghost was very good last night.

and here comes the words...

 i heard from my good friend Janne Karlsson today. i hadn't heard from him for months, so that made me happy. so, of course, we talked about death and joked about it, etc. i think we both know the temptation of suicide, especially since neither one of us are rich enough to never have to think about such things. but, i did write 3 poems after our conversation. Janne has always loved my poetry and has helped me get it out there, mostly due to my refusal to ever be on Facebook. so, thank you once again my friend.

Vice News Tonight had another great two shows this week.

AEW Dynamite was excellent last night. i love a company that shows just how great tag team wrestling can be when done correctly.

Batwoman was really good last night.

i got my order from Topps.com today, both of them actually. i got a Columbus Crew card for FREE and i got a box of that Mickey Mantle set they were selling last week. i did get a numbered card in the pack i bought, so that made me happy.

and amazingly, the last gift i got for my sister actually arrived today from Asia. so now, i am done with getting shit for Christmas. good times.

i have no clue when i will be on here tomorrow. i think i will be going to Big Lots at some point tomorrow. i know mom wants to find something to cover the back patio furniture. of course, i suppose i need to measure that shit first before i go. have i mentioned how i hate the rain?

a cool sunny day...

 it felt really nice out today. i had my sunglasses on and how i just wish it could be like this year round. upper 60's in the day, 40's at night. 

i went to the post office today to mail out some baseball cards to the west coast. postage has gone up a little, but hopefully the cards get there by the end of the week. after that, i went to the bank. of course, the bank i normally go to was closed for some fucking reason. i went to the next town over, mostly because i had to pick up some pills for my mother and another branch of the bank isn't that far away. i made that deposit and then went to Kroger. i can't believe how much they have changed the store around in just a few days. after that, i went back home. this is the kind of day where i wish i could just sleep all day long.

i kind of was in and out of a few football games yesterday. i did see a couple of crazy overtimes.

Axios was good last night.

so i woke up early for this?...

 i was up a little after 6 this morning. i wanted to get everything done before the Manchester United game started. i was a little surprised when i saw my mother sleeping in the living room. she said there was a spider in her bed. of course, she doesn't know if it was real or imagined. welcome to my life. i got the coffee on, went through my emails and had breakfast. United started off on the front foot and it was clear Everton was simply going to defend and counter attack. United was up 1-0 at halftime. and then of course, United got sloppy in the second half and gave up the tying goal. a 1-1 draw with an Everton side that wasn't at full strength at home is unacceptable. and to think they could have gone top of the league if they had won. i hope Ole knows the clock is ticking on his job at the club. i can't imagine they brought back CR7 to not win shit.

the Yankees lost to Tampa last night, 4-3. Boston and Toronto won, but thankfully Seattle lost last night. that means all the Yankees need to do is win today and they are in the playoffs. 

the New York Rangers had their asses handed to them last night by the Devils, 7-1. that was rough even for fucking preseason. they play tonight in Boston.

Smackdown and 205 Live were both pretty good last night.

AEW Rampage was excellent last night.

Real Time with Bill Maher was good last night.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be Saturday Night Live and ROH.

Ohio State plays this afternoon at Rutgers. this has trap game written all over it.

i will probably watch some of Notre Dame vs. Cincinnati game today as well.

i'm sure i'll get a nap to some soccer today. of course, it is supposed to rain today as well. joy.
